Japan is a nation in Asia and is the primary setting of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Rebuild of Evangelion.
Before 2015[]
In 2000, Japan had a population of several million people and was a well-developed nation; then the Second Impact occured and this led to social unrest and war. Later on Tokyo is destroyed with an N² bomb and is replaced by Tokyo-2 then Tokyo-3. During this time the Evangelions were under construction by Gehirn (Later NERV), plus the United Nations is moved to Tokyo-3.
During 2015[]
The year when the Angels start attacking. During several battles with the Angels many parts of Tokyo are destroyed and during the The End of Evangelion, Tokyo-3 is destroyed by an Anti A.T. Field set off by the Mass Production Evangelions.
Government[]
The government of Japan is similar to its real life counterpart. Their government has its Prime Minister and the Diet (Japanese congress); however a lot of what the government does is controlled by the United Nations (which SEELE has major political and financial control of).
Military[]
Japan's military is the Japanese Strategic Self Defense Force which is under control of the United Nations and Japanese government (In truth the secret organization SEELE controls them).
