A World Without Japan and Britain
日英が消えた地球世界
(Nichiei ga Kieta Chikyū Sekai)
2024
The world had descended into chaos. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine still showed no signs of ending, and in the United States, Donald Spade—who advocated for cutting off aid to Ukraine—had secured the presidency. In Syria, the Assad regime had suddenly collapsed, and Israel had seized the Golan Heights. Meanwhile, China was openly revealing its ambitions toward Taiwan, and South Korea was in turmoil due to the president’s erratic behavior. Amid these turbulent times, an urgent message reached the leaders of nations across the globe.
The White House, United States of America
“What do you mean we can’t reach Japan!?”
“Mr. President! The Canadian border has turned into ocean!!”
“We’ve confirmed that communication with the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand is impossible! And for some reason, our forces stationed in Japan and Britain have reportedly reappeared in Hawaii!”
“Barbados is reporting that Jamaica and Grenada have vanished!!”
Élysée Palace, French Republic
“You’re telling me those three-tongued retards across the Sleeve have disappeared!?”
“Ireland is also reporting that Northern Ireland has vanished…”
“Germany says British forces have disappeared from NATO bases!!”
“Spain is saying Gibraltar is gone too!!”
“What the hell is going on!?”
The urgent reports flooding in confirmed one thing: Japan and the Commonwealth realms had suddenly vanished.
In the Pacific, the US, China, and Russia scrambled their fleets and aircraft. In the Atlantic, Germany, France, and Ireland did the same. In the Caribbean, Barbados and Dominica searched desperately. But where these countries should have been, there was nothing—only vast, empty ocean.
Japan and the British Commonwealth had been transported to another world.

The disappearance of Japan and the British Commonwealth sent shockwaves across Earth.
Economically, the US, China, and South Korea suffered devastating blows from losing major trade partners, leading to mass unemployment. Seeking to divert public frustration over the economic crisis, China launched an invasion of Taiwan.
In response, the US, unwilling to let China seize Taiwan’s semiconductor industry, formed an expeditionary force centered around the US troops that had inexplicably teleported to Hawaii from Japan and the UK. They allied with South Korea, Germany, France, and Italy—marking the beginning of World War III.
Earth was doomed to ruin.
Meanwhile, in another world… what fate awaited Japan and the British Commonwealth?
