Tokyo Autonomous Region

The Autonomous Region of Tokyo was founded by the 2011 Petition for Tokyo. It was a petition signed with the East Asian Federation and Arata Kokisuma (Representing Tokyo's populace). It has a population of 13 Million people and the region is a territory of the EAF. It was founded so that Tokyo could indulge itself into the Harajuku culture, and create a more liberal city. Almost all services are provided by the regional government, but things like water, power, and food come from the EAF via trade. The currency is the New Yen and a major re-development project is going under way.

Politics
The Regional Assembly is made up of one representative from each district of the city. The Head of Assembly is basically the mayor, and he is in charge of the service departments. The current Head of Assembly is Arata Kokisuma, the founder of the region itself. There are twelve districts and they are each what make up the Metro-Area of Tokyo. The liberal government creates laws in cooperation with the East Asian Federation, and most laws are based off EAF laws.

Military
Military is a responsibility of the East Asian Federation armed forces. Under EAF law, Tokyo is not allowed to create in anyway a standing military. The government however uses the police force of the city as a basic military.

Economy
Tokyo was one of the world's three financial centers, and the government is taking steps to abolish this title. They have currently decommissioned the Tokyo Stock Exchange and moved all documents of the TSE to Osaka. Broadcasting, Fishing, and Publishing have become major industries inside the city, and the city has moved to make whaling illegal. Dolphins, Whales, and Seals are not allowed to be harmed in Tokyo City Limits. Tourism is a thriving industry, and most people from other countries select Tokyo as their destination.

Culture
In Tokyo, the Harajuku image has literally taken hold of the government. Green, Blue, and Pink hair are now a common sight on most people. Music includes bubblegum pop and other hi-tech, peppy genres. There is no official religion inside the region, but most people have given up on altogether. Shinto is still apart of everyday life, but signs of it are spreading thin. LGBT rights are heavily supported and it is legal inside Tokyo to marry if LGBT.
