It is a Demon Sanctuary initially under Japan; a part of Tokyo, however even since, is already independent; being a special administrative district with an independent political structure in actuality. Eventually through negotiations, it is relinquished by Japan; completely becoming and being recognized as its own nation; a Dominion. Nevertheless, it left its Judicial and as well as its financial affairs under Japan still and both nation's citizens are generally free to travel to and fro them.[2][3]
