Yamamoto Imperial Army
The army, named Yamamoto Imperial Army (YIA), is the land striking/defensive force of Yamamoto Imperial Republic Japan. It is split up into 5 districts, each with it's own offensive and defensive divisions. Due to the fact that most of the funding goes to the navy, the YIA at this point is a little wonky.

Yamamoto Imperial Air Forces
The Yamamoto Imperial Air Force (YIAF) is much more organized then the Army at this time, at least most of the time. Currently, the ground based air units are mostly modernized but stiff opposition with the naval based air units over modernization and all the changes that would have to be made to aircraft carriers and etc. This branch is divided into the standard Air Force and the Naval Air Force.

Ceremonial
These aircraft are ones used by Japanese forces during the Second World War and are used for airshows across the nation.
