The late Reiwa era, the age of the 4th Industrial Revolution driven by Data XAI. During this time, Japan suffered a crushing defeat to foreign powers like the US, China, and India. A global nuclear war broke out. While Japan did not become a battlefield, massive earthquakes and the spread of infectious diseases plunged the entire nation into social chaos. The population plummeted to less than one-tenth of its peak. All culture, infrastructure, and technology were lost. Civilization regressed to the level of the early Meiji era, and an age of warring states began. Decades later, the era of the Three Kingdoms—Yamato, Buou, and Seii—commences.
