Clears throat.

Did you know my last article was 5 months ago?
That's older than most citizens.
That makes me feel.... Old, isn't the word I'm thinking about.
I believe the word lame covers it, in both senses of the word.

Three of those 5 months, I didn't have internet access.

During that time I was still in the US. If I remember right, during them there was something about a war. Florida was the only state in the union. I logged in once during then, did you know that chick fillet has free wifi? Was some interesting times.

I come back just when the US takes back Washington and Alaska.
I realized that I missed the fun.

Fuddled around with the US's military again, realized that is wasn't the same military I led, which obviously worked with them, but from what little I saw, there was a certainly reduced comradeship between those apart of it.
I realized there was no real way to run for congressman, even in one on the lowest populated regions.

I was bored. Heard that Japan was a happening place.
And from what I can tell it is.

Treasures stolen, and a country perpetually on balance between Peace and Eden? Is it Eden? I think it is.
But with Peace self-imploding, there's room for advancement in the country's global standing.
Don't ask me how to do it, I think I'm the least qualified person to ask about advancement.

japan is definitely more interesting than the united states, that's why i came here! the average japanese is pretty independent, the current government leans pro-usa and the old government leaned pro-peace. the first is made up of people who lost north korea in a suicide attack on russia, the second is made up of people who looted the government treasury when they lost the election on november 5th, so pick your poison.

i have been a member of the imperial sun party for about three months now, joined because it was a homegrown pro-japanese party with no other ties to organizations inside or outside the game and fairly idealistic in creating things like the righteous nation philosophy, but also with some pragmatic realism. ya cant go wrong with that!

Japan is officially becoming more awesome by the day.
Way back when, when I originally came to these shores, there were a few characters I knew I would miss.

I return to the game and find MedyPi a Japanese Citizen, and Joeph Cole hot on her heels.

How could Japan not rock now?
