My beloved subjects, Citizens of Japan!
In the last weeks we have gone through great tribulations. We have witnessed great victories and great defeats. Our entrepreneurs and our workers have committed themselves above the call of duty to the duty of defending the kokutai of the Japanese Empire and the interests of our friends abroad, to the duty of defending the visions of the Righteous Nation as enshrined in our Constitution.
Today we admit that we have not managed to achieve our goals.
In negotiations with representatives of the governing institutions in South Korea, representatives of the Japanese government and their Korean counterparts have agreed on a roadmap to peace on the following terms:
- Return to status quo ante bellum, South Korea and Japan each retain/regain their original regions
- Mutual Neutrality: No interference of either nation into the affairs of the other
- There will be no region rentals or training wars between the two nations
The Japanese government is convinced that it is in the best interest of the Japanese people to accept these terms. Following the publication of this article, hostile military action between the two nations is to cease; the terms mentioned above are binding.
I thank our friends and brothers in arms from across the world who have participated in our struggle. I convey my stern personal confidence to the people of 대한민국 that their ambitions and goals will not be met with ignorance by history. Our decision was a hard one to take and I would wish it upon nobody else to have had the burden to publish this article on my behalf.
The service to the Emperor that has been rendered in the last weeks has been outstanding and has filled me with pride.
Now it is time to move ahead.
Ten Thousand Years.
Kokawayoshi Makoto
Emperor of Japan

Glad we're going to get back to where we started at least.
Submit.
no more trolling eRomanians
~desu desu
Sad we didn't liberated friends Koreans...
Well, it would be a lose.
@Hellsingas
Yes its very sad , But we must listen to our Emperor
And Hell even though we didnt liberate them
we sure as hell didnt just stand by and do nothing
knowing that our brother was getting boned by eRomanians
we did all we could but now we must focus on ourselves
as a injured country
Hopefully we troops will return to eSouth Korea
and lest hope its just a training exorcise
Everyone fought the good fight and as born a eJapanese
soldier i am proud for my country answering a cry of
help even though we arent the time of country
that can willingly answer those calls and expect to win
~desu desu
Its sad, but the emperor ultimately did the right thing.
The goal was to make the PTO and creation of another eastern European iron colony more expensive, and we achieved that. The eRomanians did not simply arrive and push eSouth Korea around, and they would have done the same for us (in fact, Danyeo asked them to be prepared to do so, if the eIndonesian PTO was successful back in December).
The war is ending because PANAM SG St Krems instructed us to end the war so we can help with PANAM operations. I encourage all eJapanese citizens to support the Ministry of Defense to achieve this goal.
@Kita Ikki: As far as I know Panam and Eden are allied and in very good relations; so your goal of making something expensive for an ally is in contradiction with the purposes of the alliace Japan is in. Better say it right: that it was your personal goal (together with Danyeo) and you also dragged Japan, as a nation into this.
And this is what happens when you transform a personal vendetta into a country matter.
However, I salute the Japanese people that fought, there were great battles and we were honored to have you as opponents on the battlefield. Congrats! The value of a victory is given by the strength of the opponent. I am also happy that this meaningless war will be stopped and both countries could take care of their own development.
10 thousand years! desu desu
@Clopoyaur: Saying it right means rejecting PTO as a method of colonization. eJapan has suffered through wave after wave of PTO groups loyal to foreign governments, so we are obliged to make PTO efforts in other smaller countries as expensive as possible in order to deter them.
As a game, eRepublik benefits from a more diverse, and therefore more interesting, group of players, so a small community of real life players will always remain more important than another Eastern European iron colony, regardless of game mechanics advantage.
@Kita Ikki: Again, this is your personal opinion. As a general rule a PTO is a group whose sole purpose is to rob, destroy, take advantage and ravish a small country. Or in South Korea, this was not the case, as during my term back in December and now also, my group contributed greatly to the development of the country. If you do not like seeing a neibough country developing and rising under a different ruler than the one you agree, this is subjective also.
So, try, as the peace conditions have been agreed to stop involving in the internal matters of South Korea and concern more about Japan, who's president you are!
Can you two please shut up? I'm seriously considering launching my military on a Kita/Clopo hunt.
I don't care and people don't care about the logic used, the reasons for the actions that were taken, right now peace means PEACE.
If you want a discussion, take it to the PM system.
>As a general rule a PTO is a group whose sole purpose is to rob, destroy, take advantage and ravish a small country. Or in South Korea, this was not the case, as during my term back in December and now also, my group contributed greatly to the development of the country.
>Job Killing Minimum Wage
>Selling off the Currency you Printed
>Inflation
>No Communication in Forums or IRC
>Unrestricted eRomanian Immigration
>"Agreed Land Swaps" (That was the most hilarious)
I seriously use to believe this now laughable propaganda. However, on the other hand, you did FINALLY reach out to eKoreans (in your most recent article), speaking strictly realistically, the terms offered were fairly reasonable.
As for PANAM and EDEN, this was an embarrassing display of friction, whereas the NWO is a unified large priority to both blocks.
萬歲萬歲萬萬歲
No more war de geso~
Ten thousand years!
What the President of occupied Korea does not realize is that President Kita has the broad consensus of the citizenry of eJapan behind him. He probably does not even expect it possible that a country could all agree to a common cause.
We do not have unanimous agreement, actually. We are stronger than that. The President of my own party has voted against peace, with the knowledge that failing to make peace could be our destruction. He considered that, and decided to value loyalty over survival. If I were in Congress I would say that we can carry loyalty only so far, and we have carried that cross. Let us now set it down and take up PANAM's torch, as they have just and real need of us, and have been faithful friends.
Did we win? I don't think that Kita-sensei means to say that we did, but we did indeed meet our core objectives. A war is not always the same thing to all people, and we did not lose. We surrender nothing, not even our pride. Those who occupy South Korea might disagree, but we cannot expect foreigners to be able to tell our pride when they see it. The strength of our words (even Irimi's) shows me that our heart is still strong.
