Big Bang Age:Organizations

Nations
Japan is split into four regions, and the organisations that govern them are as follows.

Kanto - PGG Hokkaido - Nightmare Eyes Kansai - Defence Institute Kyushu - Holy Flame, Skull Serpents

Also, there are neutral areas such as Okayama, which is where the School Student's Alliance has their headquarters

The PGG
Explanation of the PGG: The PGG is an organisation that was established in Shizuoka in the 5th year. It was originally a part of the self governing alliance known as the Greater Eastern Coprosperity Sphere, but the CEO at the time, Godai Shin, began to invest in tanks, and invaded areas other than Tottori. To those they conquered, they declared themselves the PGG (Panzergruppe Godai). The school Godai belonged to, Fujinomiya School, also changed it's name to that of a tank, and was renamed Number One School.

Two years previous, President Godai was assassinated, and Ginjo Tomoka was elevated to the position. The government functioned well under Godai, albeit being rather strict. However, since President Ginjou took control, the PGG has been given a bad name, declaring war on the Defence Institute and having an absurdly high tax rate. Also, although the armed forces of the PGG consist mainly of tanks as opposed to humans, they also emply a Special Battle Ability Corp, comprised of many Special Beings and used in all sorts of situations. It's said that there are some Special Beings being held captive and in confinement, forced to help the PGG.

-- Number of schools - 666 Number of students (including vampires) - 66666

Explanation of the Nightmare Eyes: An organisation that was formed in the 9th year, immediately following the assassination of the President of the Student's League. The Hokkaido Alliance, who had until then governed the north, capitulated against the vampire Camilla Battley's vampire army in merely two weeks, and was annihilated. With Camilla at the head, the Nightmare Eyes is an absolute monarchy. The vampires suck people's blood, who in turn become vampires and suck more people's blood, which creates more servants, and so the organisation expands. As long as there are more humans, the organisation keeps on getting bigger. The peoples who live in the north constantly live in fear of being attacked by the vampires.

Defence Institute
- Number of schools - 559 Number of students - 28422

Explanation of the Defence Institute: An organisation that has protected Japan against mystical curses for years. Due to Japan's modernisation, their political power had waned in recent years, relying solely on luck with politicians and praying that they would succeed, but when in the First year when the Hell Gate opened, they returned to centre stage. There is a woman named "The Seal Maiden" at the Defence Institute. She watches over the Hell Gate, ensuring that it doesn't grow larger and protecting against any other disasters it could cause. Protecting the Maiden, and also protecting Japan itself is the objective of the Defence Institute. The majority of their actions are, in essence, just, however they regard their own laws too highly and can be very high handed. They employ strict measures and can also be rather self righteous. Recently, the Maiden has been laid low with illness and has not been seen in ages, and many critics have pointed out that this is not the way the Defence Institute should be.

Explanation of the Skull Serpents: An organisation whose ancestors were pirates. The president, Jaouin Kuuya, was the gang leader of the Sea King School in Shimane, he opposed the executives, and believing himself to be right he left the school. After that, people who had no-one to depend on and people who caused havoc and could no longer stay at school began to gather around Kuuya, and they began to begin pirate activites based mainly in the ocean. After that, in order to oppose the threat known as the Holy Flame, the organisation known as the Kyushu Schools Alliance merged with the Skull Serpents, and the organisation is gradually growing larger.

School Student's Alliance
- Number of schools - 34 Number of students - 6912

Explanation of the Student's Alliance: The School Student's Alliance is a group that was formed in order to restore and manage the fallen Japanese government, due to the destruction of the government and the appearance of Special Beings. It was formed in the second year, with a single student as it's representative. The funds were supplied by the Himenomiya Group, through the Himenomiya School in Okayama. In the beginning, it was thought that the Student's Alliance was working well, as the governing body that was restoring stability to Japan. However, in the ninth year, the second president, Himenomiya Kouhi was murdered by someone. On the surface, it seemed as if nothing had changed, however this event signalled a move away from the Student's Alliance. Seeing the situation as grave, Himenomiya Kouhi's younger sister, Himenomiya Kaen volunteered to act as the President's representative. However, by this time many organisations refused to co-operate with the Student's Alliance, and she had no power. The number of disagreements between schools and organisations increased, and the public order began to fail. Even so, Kaen works for the betterment of the Japanese government, acting as a liason between organisations.

The headquarters of the Student's Alliance, Himenomiya School in Okayama, is a private girl's school run by the Himenomiya Group. (Kusuba Mao is an exception) The Himenomiya Group (previously Himenomiya Industries), which lends great power to the Student's Alliance, was once a heavy industrial company, however due to the economic collapse caused by the appearance of the Hell Gate, the company collapsed temporarily. Afterwards, they dropped all their other operations and promptly began to work on refining and purifying B Stones. Currently, they hold 76% of the share market on B Stone manufacturing.
