The name is said to be attributed to a region of coastal plains in what is now the provinces of Mizuho, and Niihama. History [edit] According to ancient Chihoese mythology, the peoples of Chiho are descendants of the moon goddess Tsukuyomi. ... ... ... Imperial Chiho ...
Chihoese Revolution and Civil War In 1889, the Chihoese Revolution, also known as the Commoner's Revolt, brought an end to the nearly half millennia long rule of the Imperial Chihoese state and brought about a new era political and social change. The revolution came about from nearly two decades of turmoil and societal upheaval. Tensions had reached a breaking point during the 1882 Consultative Assembly, where negotiations broke down between the monarchist and republican factions. Various republican groups and sympathetic army units would rise up in revolt following the failure of the negotiations and political reforms. The Hamasaki Uprising in April of the same year, marked the beginning of the revolution, and a wave of similar uprisings and civil unrest in general. By late-1883, the Imperial government had tenuous control of the south and southeast of the nation. Armed groups, republican and others alike, had seized army depots and armouries in the countryside, as well as many significant cities. Fearing unrest and revolt in the capital, the Imperial government would not send out the professional Unified Army to quell the situation in the south until the spring of 1884. Prior to 1884, Imperial authorities largely relied conscripted forces and local loyalist militias with limited success. In 1965, General Yosuke Abe launched the November 24th Coup d'état. He, along with a significant portion of the army general staff, were dissatisfied with what they referred to as the "corrupt and inept" post-imperial government. After quelling loyalist elements in the outlying territories and the conclusion of the navy standoff, Abe was appointed President and established the National Unity and Reconstruction Authority (NURA), which supplanted the now suspended Parliament. NURA dissolved the office of the Prime Minister and granted the President its powers and responsibilities, and declared a period of indefinite national emergency. Following a summer of deadly pro-democracy protests in 1973, Abe reversed the suspension of Parliament and transitioned the military NURA government to a nominally civilian government led by the successor to NURA, the National Unity Party. The National Unity Party (NUP) was granted all 300 seats in Parliament under guise of "political oversight" and "national harmony". In 1984, President Abe resigned at the urging of senior military and NUP officials, and would be succeeded by the moderate NUP MP, Nobu Yamazaki. Upon taking office, President Yamazaki promised a end to the period of political oversight within a decade, and met with pro-democracy activists. By 1987, political reforms had reached a point where there was tangible process towards the full restoration of democracy; previously banned political parties were allowed organize and to take part in political process, and all jailed democracy activists were released. In 1990, Yamazaki issued the "Iruma Declaration", which stated that full democratization was to take place in a years time. Furthermore, he announced that he would not be running in the first free president elections since 1965. Leading opposition leader and democracy activist Takahiro Arikawa would secure victory in the 1992 presidential elections. On June 15, 1992, Chiho held its first democractic elections since the beginning of military rule. Takahiro Arikawa, a prominent democracy activist, was elected as President. In the now restored Parliament, eight parties from across the political spectrum formed a coalition government. The coalition government, under the direction of Prime Minister Ryouta Suzuki, began work on a slew of politcal reforms aimed at strengthening Chiho's system of parliamentary democracy. In 2020, the Civil Democratic Party along with its coalition partners, secured a larger majority in Parliament. ... The Winter Coup In 2022, amid growing political turmoil and general civil unrest, a group of army generals led a coup d'état during a November session of Parliament. Units from the Northern Area Army and Central Area Army, already in the capital area to maintain order during a period of civil unrest, quickly subdued the capital's garrison and resisting police units. The arrest of the Prime Minister, as well as the majority of the sitting members of Parliament, sealed the fate of the civilian government. Following the coup d'état, the military established the Committee for Restoration, an interim replacement for the elected Parliament consisting of high-ranking military officials and bureaucrats. On December 3 of the same year, the Committee expanded martial law to encompass the entire country in order to bring civil unrest and anti-coup protests under control. In 2023, the military government took various measures to restructure the economic and political system of the country. Key among the structural changes were an increasing level of cooperation at all levels, between corporate entities and the government. These structural changes led to a period of strong economic growth, and the formation and consolidation of the modern system of conglomerates or zaibatsu. Anti-coup protests and unrest continued into the late 2020's, culminating in the Misato Massacre. Pressure from within the ruling military government and the conglomerates, forced the Committee to push forward with various political reforms in the early 2030's. Jun Uchida... Silent War ... Post-2049 ... In 2076, the Nationalist Party, under the leadership of Prime Minister Yuko Hayashi, secured a majority in Parliament for the first time since 2060.

Government and Politics [edit] Main article: Politics of Chiho
Chiho is a unitary parliamentary republic. The head of state is the president, who exercises executive powers within the framework of the constitution. The role of president is largely ceremonial, as the majority of power resides with Parliament and the Prime Minister. The prime minister is the head of government, and is appointed by the president to the leader of the party that is able to form government in the country's unicameral legislature, the Parliament of Chiho. The Cabinet, headed by the Prime Minister, consists of members of parliament who are appointed to the position by the president on advice from the prime minister. The president is the head of state of Chiho and is the commander-in-chief of the Chiho Defence Forces. The president is directly elected by plurality voting for a four year term. Presidents are limited to serving a maximum of two terms and must not be a member of any political party. The current president is Ryoko Abe, who won 68% of the popular vote in the 2076 Presidential Elections. Parliament is comprised of 320 Members of Parliament (MPs), who are elected in general elections through an instant run-off voting system to represent their single member electoral districts. Members of Parliament are elected every four years according to a set election schedule, or in rare instances, during snap elections. The centre-right Nationalist coalition, led by the Nationalist Party, currently forms government. The coalition, headed by Prime Minister Yuko Hayashi, has 178 seats in Parliament; consisting of 164 Nationalist MPs, 12 Justice MPs, and 2 Independent MPs. The current constitution was adopted in 2049, following a nearly four decade period of military rule. The new constitution abolished the post-revolution Republic of Chiho and replaced it with the current Chihoese Commonwealth, whereby the role of President was greatly diminished in favour of a strong and resilient parliamentary system. Although Chiho has a healthy multiparty democratic system of government, doubts remain on the resiliency of democratic institutions as the periodic backsliding of civil rights remains an issue, as well as the prevalence of corruption among some high-ranking government officials. Parliament of Chiho
Chiho is divided into ten provinces, two special administrative regions, and one special city. Each province is overseen by a legislative assembly and a directly elected governor, and is granted limited autonomy by the central government, with responsiblities in all areas of administration except for defense and foreign affairs.

Strict energy efficiency regulations and the rapid growth of renewables, such as wind and solar, have somewhat lessened the problem, but it remains. As part of climate change pledges, Chiho and its provinces hope to achieve 80% of its energy needs through renewable sources by 2050. ...
