Japanese Military Reforms
While Berengar had been dealing with matters regarding their Byzantine Allies, Itami was hard at work overhauling her Empire from the ground up. Naturally, any significant reforms that seized power from the nobility and distributed it across the realm was not going to be a popular move.
Until now, Itami's Japan was essentially still a feudal state. One that had transitioned from an agrarian society to and industrial one. All of the major factories were owned by the samurai clans of old, and their workers were still the peasant class. Nothing had really changed, except for the work that was being done.
