Day 1,763, 03:35 • Published in Belgium Belgium

• by eBelgian Presidency

We decided to give you an overview of those countries who we will fight for and who will hopefully be our allies. If you have any questions or suggestions please send MCKitkat a PM.
Note: Big thanks to Requiem Domine and Lily Jayne Summers. I used their Get to know your neighbour articles as base for this article. You will find various similarities.

Original regions of japan:

Japan is an island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of China,South Korea and North Korea, north of Republic of China (Taiwan), west of the USA and south of Russia. Stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north, to the East China Sea in the south.
In the past it was a country of few resources, with several High Grain regions and one Medium Stone. However its location on the southernmost crossing of the Pacific Ocean, only one of two such crossings, gave Japan a prime strategic position. Right now, the original Japanese regions contains 2 fish, 2 aluminum, 2 fruits and 2 deer resources. Japan was rich in food related resources, making it one of the minor food exporters in this part of the World, but nowadays the Japanese economy was weakened by the occupation of eTaiwan.

Our guest is Hizaya Nobunaga

Q1/ Tell us more about you - who are you ingame? What did you do throughout your eLife? Also, how did you learn about eRepublik and why did you start playing it?
A1/ I'm Hizaya Nobunaga, the current CP of eJapan. I've been doing small MoFA work in the past also been a small voice of opinion in things, aside from that I've done a give-away, congress member but otherwise been a loyal eJapanese who have been doing my daily deeds. I learnt about eRepublik through a relative of mine who invited me through the referrer program, at first i didn't play as much but after a while I kind of got a bit hooked up and met a lot of nice people who shared a common interest.

Q2/ By the time you registered, what was the situation in eJapan? (Political/Military/Social). How would you describe eJapan now? What is the difference between now and then? Is there a positive change?(If yes, what is it?/ If no, why?)
A2/ By the time i registered, eJapan was wiped by Taiwan and a lot of things were just dead. I would describe eJapan now as in almost a worse case of being occupied by Taiwan, as now we can barely run any programs because of low economy flow. The difference is actually between now and then as that's the period where eJapan actually begun to shine for a while with a great economic flow but sadly was stopped by a war led by a headless government in the past. To be honest there hasn't been much positive change as our country is still quite divided and to occupation makes it worse

Q3/ What was your best moment in eJapan so far? And your worst? Why?
A3/ My best moment must be when we thought back our regions in the past as it did bring some enjoyment, and the worst must this current situation where I'm getting attacked by people because our country is poor and they expect me to do miracles.

Q4/ Why did your country choose CoT as alliance, and what did they expect from it ?
A4/ Our country chose CoT because it was the only alliance which opened its arms to us and cared for the smaller nations. We expected through CoT that we would all be brothers and back each other in need.

Q5/ Was this fulfilled
A5/ For the moment yes, and hopefully through our brothers we can push back our oppressors.

Q6/ Do you think our nation, Belgium would fit into the alliance?
A6/ I do think Belgium would nice into our small brotherhood, even though I have noticed that there are internal conflicts in Belgium about CoT

Q7/ Do you have an opinion about Belgium and how do you see the diplomatic status of Belgium in your country/between our both nations?
A7/ Well, I have no particular opinion about Belgium aside from it's nice to see other small nations wishes to join together under a bond. The diplomatic status is more or less neutral at this point but I hope that we can achieve great support for each other.

Q8/ Is there anything else you would like to tell us?
A8/Hope for a good relation between our 2 nations, also please citizens of eBelgium, do not fight each other over trivial things because that is what really kills our country.

Greetings
MCKitkat, eBelgian MoFA

Good to see the gov finally doing something, be it (again) way too late tho. But hey better late than never. Would have also liked to see some general information about CoT tho. The first part smells like wiki pasta. Voted for the interview

p0lluxx Day 1,763, 04:41

Very very very very (...) nice article !
@Shadow : You are not always wrong in your decision/article, but just try to be less negative, and help the community as u can 🙂

MCKitkat Day 1,763, 04:50

There will be more interviews and too a general overview of the alliance but it's really hard to find someone there who has time to do an interview with me.

shadowukcs Day 1,763, 04:52

Pollux: nohjis banned me from the community because i invited a friend whom i've been playing with for nearly 5 years, why on earh would i do the job he can't properly do???

shadowukcs Day 1,763, 04:58

McKitkat: if our esteemed "Alliance-brothers" can't even give you 5 minutes of their precious time, then what the f*ck are we doing in CoT????? How are they suppose to give us any time then when we're under attack????? Back when i was in charge of ATLANTIS I gave interviews nearly every two days or so

Nohjis Day 1,763, 05:04

Thank you McKitKat and I'm looking forward to the future articles of this series.

shadowukcs: You banned yourself from the community by repeatedly breaking community rules, be they about immigration, loans you do not wish to reimburse, insults or others. It's a bit easy to lay the blame on others.
"Back when you were ??" Since you probably just sat around doing nothing as you usually do, you obviously had some time to give interviews. Lots of air but no content where you're at as usual.

Nohjis Day 1,763, 05:05

Further, who is going to attack us ? We did not join an alliance to seek protection, we joined an alliance so that those who wish to be a part of our community can fight with a goal.

Amaterasu Omikami Day 1,763, 05:59

Voted from Nippon.

@Shadow : I agree with Nohjis in the fact that you break community rules more than one times. And i'm ok with you Shadow that you want play with friend etc, but the fact is that you break the immigration law, So u do illegal things. I'm pretty sure if you say on the forum that this guys is your friend or something like that, he has been accepted. But it's not the moment to talk about that and not the right place. I just want some positivity from you shadow, and from all people there.
