A/N: Here are your reading notes! New Tokyo represents Tokyo while all of Northern Japan is still Japan, only, to cover these other cities and walls they've been given sector names. This story will begin centered in Tokyo as per canon, but don't be surprised if you have any sector mentions (locations will be explained anyway in correspondence to Japan, by the by for those who don't know in Japan prefectures=districts), and besides the plot will actually move to South Japan since it's where all the ghouls are. I will include a map to follow along but here, Tokyo is sector 1, and sectors are numbered from Tokyo clockwise. Wards 1-24 still exist in New Tokyo and wards replace municipalities (okay if you're confounded: wards are basically counties in a state—if you're from the US). Primary and secondary (up to sophomore year in high school) schools can be found anywhere in North Japan. There are two types of investigators Bureau which begin as rank 3 and do CCG office work, and Ghoul which begin at rank 2 and are employed at rank 3 (r=rank). This story may have spoilers for the re: manga, I won't say which, but for those who read it don't say anything! I am already super duper angry! WHY the @#$%! would they do that!? Yosh~ let's go to work (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Year 2034: the Japanese government has completed its first motion into the reunification of Japan. The alarmingly massive movements of ghoul affiliates amongst humans is the sole cause of peaceful settlements-major cities and towns-emigrating North of the country. Several ghoul groups, gangs as stated officially by the Commision of Counter Ghoul, have claimed forty percent of the lower South reaches of Japan, and despite the attempts of civil negotiations these ghouls demand the surrender of humanity. The ghoul responded by ravaging the most vulnerable of humankind, those that were unable to flee because of financial instability or imminent danger, until contact between outer settlements ceased entirely.

Perhaps the biggest trial was the relocation of the ghouls hiding within the wards of Tokyo, known as the Ghoul War, for three long years the CCG pushed back the ghoul groups that tirelessly aimed to stop the production of the wall. Any means to keep their link to Tokyo's wards and eventually where the outermost wall stands, still arguably ghoul territory.

In an effort to deter humanity, the ghouls claimed Southern Japan as the Kingdom of Ghouls, primitive in its selection of one worthy ghoul, he is the One-Eyed Ghoul the King as they call him. As a result the Japanese government has agreed to a lifelong commitment to preserving humankind, and alongside the CCG the government has agreed to fund major developments of new defense systems and CCG technology.

With their lasting partnership the Commission of Counter Ghoul and the Japanese government have secured the perimeter that now separates Northern and Southern Japan. With a whopping distance of 516 kilometers the government of Japan has completed the greatest technological advancement in history. With the establishment of the anti-ghoul wall and six passes running along the former prefectures of Southern Niigata, Jōetsu now sector 608, pass six. The Chūbu region was found to be a blind spot and was fortified with three passes, Central Nagano, Matsumoto, sector 809 pass five, far Southwestern Nagano, Hiraya, sector 820, pass four, and Southern Nagano, Tenryū Village, sector 834, pass three. Finally, Shizuoka, Kawanehon, sector 156, pass two, and Western Shizuoka, Makinohara, sector 199, pass one, humanity's future is ensured. Travel was possible due to the efforts of RC Inhibitor Trains, with the only restriction of air travel; a law is passed so that air travel was only accessible by CCG authorities and their focus on attacks from ukaku users.
