The Land of Light is being invaded by the Vendalista Aliens, and the governments of the world have declared Earth neutral to the conflict. This neutrality is stretched thin when an Ultra Saint/Holy Woman crashes outside of Tokyo.
Several humans side with the Ultra Saint, against the wishes of the Government, who hold to the position that as an alien she too is considered an Invader. The saint takes her followers, those who renounced their national citizenship, the Land of Light Enclave, into space via a chunk of the Earth she removed.[6]
