Author's note: Hello, pastel here. Bloody hell that's cliche. Well, I do not own Oregairu nor the history of Brazil, Only our God and Emperor does. So as you can see, I am from Brazil and I'm a staunch monarchist, the type which I described below. As a Brazilian, English is not my first language, Portuguese is, so I would gladly accept help in general from native English speakers.
I just watched this anime and it stuck on my mind like this shitty funk music on my country. I thought and I thought a little more... Let's just add a Brazilian prince on Japan, cuz that's how we roll!

In a universe in which the Empire of Brazil was not overthrown, the world is very different. Pirates more and more stole and destroyed cargo and passenger ships all over the world, forcing the government of several countries to do something about this plague. For the Empire of Brazil was no different, already having a strong naval tradition and one of the three strongest navies in the world. However, in 1996 Dom Pedro IV died at the age of 47. Its 53-year-old Prime Minister Felipe Lopes created a new branch in the Brazilian armed forces, taking advantage of the three months of absolute command over the executive branch of the Empire, exactly in accordance with the constitution of 1890. The Brazilian military structure below. The Imperial Army, Land Command, controls the guarding of territories, administration, and management of the National Army. Royal Guards and Special Forces of the Amazon (GREA, Guardas Reais e Forças Especiais do Amazonas), are a specific part within the Imperial Army that specializes in the combat and defense in the common landscapes in the Amazon forest. Today the GREA is responsible for the guard of the Imperial Family and the Emperor himself. The Imperial Air Force, Air Command, responsible for the defense of Brazilian skies, administration, and management of the Brazilian Air Force. Royal Paratroopers, Command of the Special Forces that are specialized in airborne invasions, prepared for combat with little or no resources. The Imperial Navy, the naval command, protects and patrols the Brazilian coast, administration, and management of the Imperial Fleets. Royal Marines, command of Special Forces specializing in maritime combat and coastal invasions. The Naval Air Force is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Navy and Air force jointly at the Naval Aerospace Secretariat, which is responsible for helicopters and aircraft made to operate in the oceans and operations against naval targets. Founded in 1996, The Imperial Guards and Special Forces of Royalty (GIFER, Guardas Imperiais e Forças Especiais da Realeza). Responsible for the secret service and the hunting of fleets and terrorist organizations in general. Previously it was responsible for anti-corruption activities and private guarding of the Imperial family, however, and unfortunate accident changed that.
Organized as below
Imperial Guards, as the name implies, was the Imperial Guard itself. (Dissolved)
Royal Hunters literally hunt criminals, traitors, and terrorists. They are the "dirty work" people. (Active)
Government defenders once supervised politicians, their bank accounts, suspicious activities. They also used "dirty ways", using manipulation, drugs, bribes, and seduction to uncover the corrupt. (Legally forbidden from operating, but it's political and military structure still exists, due to a badly written bill).
Felipe Lopes, being a fierce patriot, faithful and devoted to the crown, created GIFER with the intention of creating armed forces blindly loyal to the Crown. Also trying to clear the name of the Brazilian Imperial Navy, which was ineffective in dealing with these modern pirates and in general hunting pirates, was not a very honorable job. Transferring this task to the organization, together trying to express its Catholic values (mainly forgiveness); the organization only accepts prisoners who would accept to work for the crown and immigrants from other countries who would accept to convert to Catholicism and serve the crown. GIFER, while trying to stay out of the public eye, does not have a good reputation for ethical practices in its forms of training. From time to time, GIFER receives proceedings from families of some agents, citing "They have returned cold, empty, without stopping to talk about the word of God and the Empire, besides thousands of scars scattered throughout the body." The Brazilian Imperial family, along with much of the country's population, have a strong military tradition, usually pushing their children to serve some branch of the military. Much of the royalty take part in some branch of the armed forces, often the navy, rarely the army and almost never the air force. Now, someone entering GIFER is a total taboo, even if the Imperial Family has enough authority to enter its ranks. The Imperial government is divided into 4 branches of power. The moderating power: led by the Emperor and Empress, has the power to create laws, veto powers of laws and decisions of the judiciary and legislative. They can also trigger national plebiscites at any time. The Emperor has administrative and celebratory powers, divided with the prime minister. They have more power than the executive, for when the moderating power has the permission of the people, they can dissolve all powers and call for new elections, also prohibit all former politicians from re-entering politics and only allowing student graduates from the political education programs to run for nationwide elections. One officer will do the administrative tasks in case there is a lack of a competent politician of the task in question, or the election for the office is happening.
The executive power: headed by the prime minister, has the same powers of moderating power, except the power to dissolve the other powers. However, the prime minister can depose the Emperor and/or Empress if there is unpopularity, incompetence of the task, illness or incapacitation, in this case, the Prime Minister would be suspending the moderating power for a time of 3 months, enough time to crown the new Emperor or Empress.
Legislative power consists of only one chamber, the Imperial Parliament, which consists of 500 Imperial deputies, each representing 852,000 Brazilians. Every Member, in his daily political activity, must think of all Brazilians as a whole and never with divisions of any kind among the population. If there were to be a tie in the voting of law, the Emperor and the Prime Minister were obliged to vote, breaking the tie. With the Emperor having a vote that is worth two deputies and the Prime Minister with a vote that is worth three deputies. In effect, the parliament would have 505 deputies. The parliament can create laws, vote and/or modify bills presented by the Emperor or the Prime Minister, as well as bar any action deemed unconstitutional by the Moderator, Executive or Judiciary.
The judiciary is comprised of just one chamber, the Supreme Imperial Court of Justice, composed of 15 Super judges who have the power to modify, accept or reject laws presented by the parliament, the Emperor or the Prime Minister. Just as it has the power to depose the Prime Minister in case of Incompetence, illness or incapacitation for the position. All powers can call for national plebiscites with relative ease, causing the Brazilian population in general, to be much more politically active than any other nation on earth.
For a law to be accepted in the Empire, the Prime Minister or the Emperor can present a draft, (where the two discuss the law and if they reach a consensus. the law goes to parliament and unless they do not reach a consensus the law is terminated), can present a bill. if a law is passed by the Emperor and the Prime Minister, it is passed by the parliament where it is debated and modified if necessary and it is voted to be accepted in the judiciary, where it is again debated, modified if necessary and a vote is taken among the 15 super judges for the law finally to be accepted and signed by the Emperor and the Prime Minister, effectively becoming law. Any imperial deputy can also present a law, where it will take the same route by moderating power, executive and judiciary. If there is any discontent among the population as to any decision of any power of government, the Emperor or the Prime Minister may convene a national plebiscite with relative ease. With this system of government, all powers remain in line, and since the ratification of the constitution of 1890, Brazil has gone through a time of more than 100 years of prosperity, with only a few political crises resolved by the Prime Minister or Emperor. "The work of the Executive is teamwork between the Emperor and the Prime Minister, where the objective is always based in the well-being of the people and never of the partisan or personal intent" 1rs Duty of Government, written in the constitution of 1890. "The Emperor in case of illness or incapacity may transfer his administrative and celebratory powers to the Prime Minister. But maintains his moderating power to" save the nation in political crises and call new elections in the executive, legislative and judiciary, with the permission of the people, via plebiscite managed by GIFER and not the Imperial Electoral Secretariat " Constitutional Amendment April 23, 2010.

At age 56, Your Majesty Dom Alexander of Orleans and Braganza got diagnosed with heart cancer, and promptly used the constitutional amendment, implemented one day after the diagnosis. And after 4 long and arduous years of fighting cancer and surgeries, the same could be called a cancer survivor, and as compensation, the prime minister (José Guilherme) who went on as prime minister throughout the fight from diagnosis to the complete extermination of a tumor, gave vacation to the Emperor until the end of his term on September 7, 2015. In 2010, the Imperial heir and heiress died a day after the diagnosis of the cancer of Dom Alexander on April 23 in a terrorist attack organized by an organization of assassins hired by an extremely powerful group of pirates from South Africa. Both died in their own residence in the Palace of the Good Faith in the city of Natal, where the assassins infiltrated the residence, killed more than 43 agents of GIFER and followed to kill the two heirs in more cruel, painful and delayed ways, while the prince Apollo I witnessed torture and got tortured. All of these events took place from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., where authorities were finally notified of the invasion. For the preservation of order, Dom Alexander declared that all those who resided there died, including Apollo I and his brother. Apollo, being the only survivor of the event, was traumatized from head to toe, diagnosed with several mental disorders, such as insomnia, anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The same also acquired cardiovascular problems. The prince was only eight years old when these traumatic events happened, but fortunately, he managed to send his brother Fernando II to hide and successfully saved his brother and escaped the terrible events in that Palace. Dom Fernando I, never joined any branch of the military, although he became an extremely prestigious lawyer, and his wife was an excellent oncologist. The mere fact that he did not go to the army caused immense repercussions after his death, with several people blaming the event on the heir's lack of survival skills. As well as several ultra-nationalist terrorist Brazilian organizations, said to have been involved in the assassination of the heir, citing "the heir was a disgrace to the Empire and he got what he deserved," and shortly thereafter, on April 24, a chain of Middle Eastern terrorist organizations claimed responsibility for the murder. GIFER was responsible for the guarding of the Imperial family, and after this literal humiliation, it lost its reputation as Invincible and were forcibly taken from duty as royal guards by Parliament. Where Dom Alexander tried to veto the law as well as the Prime Minister, but the Legislative with the support of the judiciary called for a national plebiscite that with a vote in favor of GIFER's withdrawal from guarding duty was extremely higher than against. 293,000,000 in favour and 73,000,000 against. On May 27 of the same year, GIFER located, arrested and transported all members of the terrorist organization and hanged them in various public squares throughout Brazil, with the most important hanged in Imperial and State squares. This apology did not suffice, and as result, the Brazilian population, after 7 years of the event still do not trust GIFER and politically tries to suppress its influence in government. GIFER got off Guarding duty of all Imperial Palaces and in its place GREA agents replaced them. GREA returned to work as Imperial Guards once again after 14 years out of the task when they got replaced sometime after the founding of GIFER.
