Description
"Ssshhhh. Wrong question. Wrong place."
A secret society serves to influence and control public opinion, both swaying people and keeping them in line through, although its members would deny it, fear.
A secret society that everyone knows about is something of an oxymoron, yet Japanese history is replete with small groups who are both secret and yet known about by those in authority. Mostly, and particularly within the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army after the Meiji Restoration, these groups were very nationalistic and uncompromising in their outlook, and all professed a fierce loyalty to the Emperor. Their targets were usually intellectuals, liberals and compromisers (or realists) who, in their view, were not serving the Emperor or Japan properly. Unfortunately, rather than arguing their cases in open, often assassination became the secret societies' favoured tool of political discourse.
Other Information
A player who becomes an independent republic must rely heavily on their propaganda network to maintain public order and to convert provinces that are already under control or are targeted for future capture. Also, a pro-Independent player must now rely on Shinobi and Foreign Veterans for assassination tasks as Ishin-Shishi/Shinsengumi are no longer available to do this.
