A new information has appeared on official site. I'll try to do a quick translation for now:

Apocalypse Virus
New unknown virus that has been discovered in Japan. The exact mechanism is unknown but the infection causes the crystallization of the body. Symptoms are divided into "stages", and Yahiro's brother from the Episode 4 has the "fourth stage" of it. The regular vaccination has been developing to prevent the infecion, and Japanese people are required to be vaccined.

The Lost Christmas case
Occurred in December 2029, an explosion of Apocalypse virus infection in Roppongi, and the consequent riots. For the occurrence of this incident, in Roppongi peacekeeping forces are introduced by multinational forces. The Japanese government has only given up to resolve the country, marked the beginning of the subsequent interim government of Japan by GHQ.

Roppongi 4
The Lost Christmas scene was the Roppongi district, made ​​a complete blockade quarantine by multinational forces. Since the incident, the Japanese government relinquished administration of this district, conditions such as air pockets that do not belong to any national law. While residents from inside of the Fort are not allowed to leave outside, they also are not been vaccinated. As depicted in Episode 2, Antibodies used this blockade quarantine to start attack.

GHQ
Multinational forces stationed in Japan in time of Lost Christmas, then received a delegation from the Japanese government as an executive power. The United Nations was formed after the vote it received, the interim government organization in Japan = GHQ. Police and local governments in Japan have been maintained, state-level administrative and decision are made ​​by the GHQ.

Antibodies
Special Protection Forces of GHQ. The official name is "Special Virus Disaster Management Bureau" and Shuichiro serves as a director. Has its own chain of command different from Multinational Forces GHQ and it's troops are dedicated to fight the "Apocalypse (virus)". Has exclusive authority to quarantine people infected with the certification, in some cases even culling order to perform in the field, residents of the Fort are feared of them and call them "white coats".

District 24
Mega structure (gigantic structure) built on a reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay. Home of the Anti-Bodies and the GHQ along with the interim government, administration and military, virus research facilities such as a virus research facilities are aggregated in that city-on-the-sea. This majestic tower stands in the territories formerly known as Odaiba, and is said to be a symbol of after-Lost-Christmas Japan.

Funeral Parlor
Resistance organization seeking for the release of Japan from GHQ. Headquartered in Roppongi Fort has where is so many young people or organizations. Basically, its existence was hidden as an underground organization, and in response to invasion of Roppongi Fort in Episode 2 , the existence of the organization was announced. It's leader is Tsutsugami Gai, who have advanced equipment and organizational skills to counter the Antibodies.

Void genome
Developed by Sefirah Genomics, it brings a mysterious substance known as "The power of a King". The user of "the ability of the King" can pull an object from human's body called "Void". According to the words of Tsutsugami Gai from Episode 2, "it analyses "intron code" of the human's genome and by the pwoer hidden within it can be derived by changing the Void." There are several conditions which are necessary to draw the Void: "people under 17 years" and "eye contact from the other" were reported to be needed in Episode 2.

Sefirah Genomics
Are responsible for such basic research of and vaccine manufacturing for the Apocalypse Virus, is a multinational pharmaceutical company which has close ties with GHQ and Antibodies. It's laboratory in 24th District has succeded in the production of the three Void genomes. Ouma Shu's mother Haruka is a Senior researcher of this laboratory.


This is really a very-very bad translation so I hope that anybody knowledgeable in japanese language could edit this text or retranslate it.
