Treason - Gaikanzai

Japanese: 外患罪 - がいかんざい
Treason - Gaikanzai

A crime that endangers the existence of a nation from the outside. It is a serious act of betrayal by the people against their own country and is punishable by heavy penalties. Under current law, the basic crimes of inciting foreign aggression (Article 81 of the Penal Code) and aiding foreign aggression (Article 82 of the same law) are stipulated, along with the crimes of attempt, preparation, and conspiracy. Inciting foreign aggression is the crime of conspiring with a foreign government, military, or other public institution to use force against Japan. Because it creates a serious threat to external security, the death penalty is the mandatory legal punishment under current law. Aiding foreign aggression is the crime of actively participating in the use of force by a foreign country against Japan, serving in its military, or providing other military benefits. It is punishable by death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for two years or more.
