Tokyo-2

New Tokyo-2 City (第2新東京市(だいにしんとうきょうし), Dai 2 shin Tōkyō-shi^?) (also known as Tokyo-2) is the capital of Japan.

Profile

Tokyo-2 was built on the site of the former city of Matsumoto City^WP in the Nagano Prefecture. Construction began in 2001, and by early 2003 it had become the country's new fully functional capital city. However, in 2005, construction of Tokyo-3 began as a result of the second capital transfer plan. Simply put, Tokyo-3 was projected to replace Tokyo-2 as the capital of Japan. This may have just been an excuse to finance the astronomical construction costs of Tokyo-3, since the city itself was designed as a fortress to counter the imminent threat of the Angels.
