Earth
Earth is the planet on which humans live, and in Assault Lily, fight for survival against the Huge. It resembled the Earth that we live on up until approximately the year 2000, when the arrival of the Huge and the emergence of Magi caused its history to diverge.
This page describes the state of the Assault Lily world as it's currently understood.
Inhabited Regions[edit | edit source]
These places are known with certainty to still be inhabited by humans in 2052 or the very recent past, and it is unlikely that they are considered fallen.

Fallen Regions[edit | edit source]

Japan[edit | edit source]
Place | Notes |
---|---|
Chugoku (Western Honshu) | In the past, a strategic withdrawal was made from this area in order to focus upon other fronts in Hyogo and Kyushu[9]. Over half of the region, including Hiroshima Prefecture[29], is designated fallen[30], but a few Gardens like Kyurei still operate here. Various Gardens elsewhere in Japan, including Yurigaoka, are taking part in an expedition to recapture Chugoku[31]. |
Gunma Prefecture | At one point, Fumi said Gunma was "a relatively peaceful area, though there are Nests here and there, so naturally it's still in danger from the Huge"[10].

Nagano Prefecture | Futagawa Fumi has said that liberating Nagano may become a long-term objective of Yurigaoka's[32], implying that the prefecture is considered fallen. |

Yamanashi Prefecture | The only completely fallen area in the Kanto region, according to Futagawa Fumi[39]. Fell to the Huge after the Koshu Evacuation; however, Kaiseizan still operates in the area, and some sources mention a civilian presence[40]. |

A: For the western Gardens who bear the mission to allow strategic retreat of lilies from the “designated territory”, improve the battle front situation east of Hyogo, and liberate Kyushu, the recovery of “designated territory” is an obligation and wish. Of course, there are powerful Huge and Nest, so half of the Chugoku and Shikoku region are designated as fallen territories." Translation by rluka.
