Taxation Influence:
Taxing in the prefecture works when personal municipal resident taxes and prefectural resident taxes are levied and collected together. Both taxes are comprised of a "per-capita levy" which is a set amount not relating to income, and a "pro-rated levy" which calculates based on the taxpayer's income for the previous year.
Military Influence:
Before Japan's constitution was revised by government officials in 2015, the military of the country was restricted to self-defense combat only. Under no circumstances could they attack any enemies of neighboring countries or to take over lands. The legislature, the National Diet, passed laws that would enable Japanese military forces to engage in sea combat if an attack on Japan or a reliable ally of the country threatened Japan's growth and development if all options have failed. The Japan military would not engage in a fight with an enemy just to acquire something from them, especially since they are working towards peace between nations.
Social Welfare:
Nagoya has always provided comprehensive social services for its citizens. In order to ensure a healthy, financially secure, and medically safe program for everyone, the city has set up a wide-range of projects, including special programs for the elderly and children. In addition to National Insurance and other medical benefits, Nagoya sends out welfare advisors to visit elderly citizens living alone, as well as sending out some helpers to help elderly and handicapped people with cleaning, laundry, eating, and bathing. Every senior citizen and severely handicapped resident receives benefits to many social services and a free pass (or tickets) for the city bus and subway system.
