FACS

The Far Asian Co-prosperity Sphere or FACS was established as a political party in Japan to counter the growing Arasaka grasp on the government.

History
In the mid 1990s the Arasaka corporation started working its fingers into the Japanese government. Arasaka's opponents became the political sponsors of the prosecution, and even sacrificed some of their own people to the investigation in order to underime the Saburo Arasaka and his SDF plans. This group of corporations would soon unite under the FACS.

The Diet was dissolved from what it was, but a new general election was held, and a conservative, yet anti-Arasaka, government was formed from this. At this time, there were mass retirements of SDF personal who didn't want to work for the new government.
