The Federation of Mugen

Location from The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

The island federation that invaded Nikara — inspired by Imperial Japan, it committed genocide at Golyn Niis and destroyed Speer, and views the mainland with the cold certainty of a civilization that considers conquest a moral obligation.

Also known as: Mugen, The Federation, The Federation of Mugen
