I'm going to note some of the lore here because it's very enlightening. It brings a lot of expansions and changes to articles.

For one, the Jakoku archipeligo was once dominated by the Netsuma clan and their Jiyamataikoku. Apparently when this nation collapsed, some of the Netsuma emmigrated to Evillious. Then you have the third head of the family, Raisa, who joins Apocalypse and became close friends with Meta.

When the Leviantan army captured Meta, Raisa lost her life, angering the clan enough to spread terror across Evillious, especially in Elphegort. This resulted in Elphegort heavily persecuting the Netsuma (note: Netsuma's name Kanji is uses the term for "heat/temperature" and demon). Unfortunately, the Netsuma blood left in Jakoku was lost.

Jakoku's government constantly changed from that point onward until they entered a warring states period around EC 540. The most successful was the daimyou Hatsune Nobunaga of the Hatsune family who later fell to rebellion from his subordinates. His daughter, Jahime, expanded her influence to fulfill her father's long-cherished wish to unite the country.

There were many resisting her aggressive invasions however was the daimyou for the Tokugawa family. To combat the foreign mage following Jahime (Julia IR, later Julia Abelard), the Tokugawas allied with their own mages from a foreign nation.
