Bros before... Foes? eJapan CAN into Epic Bromance

Citizens of eJapan,

Today is a historic day in eJapan, the first step on a long road into the future. Our actions today set the course for the future of eJapan and Asia.

The Bromance begins…

An offer was extended. The Imperial Diet voted, and the vote was presented to His Majesty, Emperor Kokawayoshi Makoto. The vote passed without a single voice of dissent in the Imperial Diet. Today we join with the United States, Canada, Australia, and Ireland. eJapan has considered these nations allies and friends, and now we will consider them Bros. We stand united with them under the spirit of unity personified by the Brolliance.

Above: eJapan’s newly revised history textbooks depict the relationship between the US and Japan from 1941 until 1945, when ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BAD happened.

For us, this is merely a formalization of a relationship that already existed. In the past few months the United States and their allies have become fast friends with eJapan, due to our shared vision of a free Asia and their willingness to treat eJapan as equals and allies. Nowhere was that more apparent than during our last Congressional election. Facing a PTO from would-be foreign infiltrators, we reached out for help and it was offered from all angles, with the US and the Brolliance offering the bulk of the assistance. Today we bind our honor to our word as allies and state that we will support the Brolliance and her nations.

Throw ‘em up, bros.

We will move forward from here. Citizens of eJapan should familiarize themselves with Brolliance as well as SHIELD. There is also a Brolliance forum that I encourage participation on.

We have made a defining decision as a country, and I think it is telling that not one person spoke against this measure. My hope is that this will unite eJapan and citizens will begin to see our shared purpose beyond the minor differences that some would use to divide us.

Ten Thousand Years!

Crawling Chaos
President of eJapan

Interesting turn of events in the eWorld.

The way i see it, younger and smaller alliances are more reliable than superalliances a la Eden and Phoenix. I support this decision.

Anon Bliss Day 863, 03:45

this is having the feeling of walking on knife blades i have a suspicion that there is more to it than just a freindly change for the country

ijnapanji Day 863, 03:52

wow kk wow

Daeish Day 863, 03:59

*fistbump*

I thank the Brolliance for accepting us into their group, and I thank the eJapanese congress for their wisdom in accepting the invitation without a single dissenting vote.

May we prosper.

Tohru Day 863, 04:14

It is complete.

Tanaka Fujimori Day 863, 04:16

I am convinced!

Dokomo Day 863, 04:29

The Japanese Imperial Forces look forward to a renewed campaign of liberation in Asia.

I am L Day 863, 04:34

voted 😃

Gessho Day 863, 04:36

very pleased to see this!

LordRahl2 Day 863, 04:39

Welcome; I was hoping this day would come soon.

May our paths lay together in peace and in righteous war.

Aogo Day 863, 05:34

@Tohru What is completed?

Pupants Day 863, 06:02

@Aogo Not sure, I think there are still a couple pieces of Austria left. So that is incomplete.

St Krems Day 863, 06:16

Just. As. Planned.

Irimi Day 863, 06:42

oO ????
Broillance?
Its a long way from a Neutral Japan, then Asia First Japan, to TO-Belgium Japan.
Can we have some information on what all this mean?

Daeish Day 863, 06:50

Irimi; I suggest you visit nipponblog.net. There are three threads of interest:
- Congress: Discussion on joining Brolliance (previously classified, now readable by all eJapanese)
- Congress: Open Discussion on joining Brolliance
- Congress: Vote on joining Brolliance

I must say this should not come as a surprise to any well informed eJapanese citizens. The threads listed above have been there for quite a few days now.

Desertfalcon Day 863, 07:38

Glad to have Japan on our side

Marxman Owns Day 863, 07:52

Bros before foes!

Yonsil Day 863, 07:56

BROS BEFORE HOES!

TheReverendSeanV Day 863, 08:02

I intend to be a Bro for 10,000 years.

And Tohru, it is indeed complete, eJapan was finally able to give a unanimous vote on something so big, I'm quite proud of the progress eJapan has made since you guys left for Austria.

Sugawara Michizane Day 863, 08:09

I am looking forward to what our new pact will bring to our nation.

Lejina Day 863, 08:28

Pretty awesome that all the different factions in the country can all agree on something so big.

Collin Roche Day 863, 08:31

Hell yes! Welcome Bros! 8D

Joey Sonno Day 863, 08:59

It's great to see that Japan can now look forward to enjoying the kind of reliable security guarantees that have so well served to preserve and restore the territorial integrity of nations like China and South Africa. Congratulations.

And by the way, this bulgogi is delicious!

Crawling Chaos Day 863, 09:27

You mad, bro?

Loftish Day 863, 09:44

Joey, every time I see your avatar all I can see is that nose and want to reach through my computer screen and slap you in the face.

Voted Crawl for Chaos!

KITA Ikki Day 863, 10:22

@Darshu ハハ、エイプリルフールって日本の特別な日ではないけどね。議会投票を逃しちゃったけど、国家安全保障の配慮で、この解決を基本的に支持した。なぜかというと、新たな経済ソフトウェア・モジュールが実施される前に、安定な安全保障体制を実現すべき。万が一 e日本の天然資源などが好転すれば、この決断が我が国は早く征服されることを防ぐはず。その後の結果。。。これからの成り行きを見守っていこう。

For the Japanese-impaire😛 Haha, April Fool's is not really a special day in Japan. I missed the congressional vote, but out of national security consideration, I basically supported this decision because we should have a stable security framework in advance of the implementation of the new economic module. In the event that eJapan's resource situation improves, this decision should prevent the quick conquest of eJapan. For whatever happens after that, we'll have to wait and see.

kuroiunmei Day 863, 10:29

Phoenix beware! Bros before FOES!

GLaDOS Day 863, 10:38

predictable.
enjoy being an American satellite.

Dishmcds Day 863, 10:45

Oh, more American colonies. Awesome.

Bajke sm Day 863, 10:51

Shame on you PTO-ers of Japan, Phoenix will push you from Japan with military means!

Cayen Day 863, 11:14

We will not be the last to join Brolliance; other like-minded nations will take the same initiative.

Brotherhood from every sea to every shining sea!

irishbhoy1967 Day 863, 11:15

Welcome Bros. Never mind the Brits, they're always like that, you get used to it.

Tyler F Durden Day 863, 11:38

Welcome, Bros!

o/ Brolliance!
o/ SHIELD!

Anyonymous Day 863, 11:49

\o/ Hey new Bros 🙂

Onishi Day 863, 11:50

YEAH!!!

i i FaTaLiTy Day 863, 12:10

My respect for Japan is now non-existant.

Hakaisha Day 863, 12:54

wait what? what ever happened to being neutral...

Tohru Day 863, 13:18

The neutrality ended when the large group of people came and took over because they thought Japanese were pansies for being neutral.

Being neutral isn't cool, yo.

Rob B Day 863, 13:28

Welcome my brothers! I am pleasantly surprised.

Yonsil Day 863, 13:37

Tohru is right.
you ain't cool.

Ilija Bozic Day 863, 13:40

Who are you kidding guys? Of course you are bro's if you're all American. (Yes, Wapanese counts as American)

Conor Larkin Day 863, 13:43

From one island on the side of Eurasia to the other, welcome Japan 😃

Rev. Wilson Day 863, 13:49

Huzzah!

Aogo Day 863, 13:52

@Tohru "The neutrality ended when the large group of people came and took over because they thought Japanese were pansies for being neutral.

Being a founding member of PEACE was neutral? Seriously?

Get off your high-horse. You left the country in a pile, were party to theft, and then "disappeared". All of the Diet agreed this was in Japan's best interest, and would be mainly defensively-orientated.

Lejina Day 863, 13:58

Neutrality went in the trash bin when both Russia and Hungary have been repeatedly attempting to PTO Japan. You can't expect a country to stay neutral when you make a new political attack against it every month.

Tohru Day 863, 14:03

Aogo, the only time Japan really helped PEACE was when it was forced to by Indonesia.

I don't know what "left in a pile" means, and I most certainly did not have a thief party. And sweet, I'm apparently invisible.

In seriousness though, I left Japan first just to take a break from people like you, but even then you were like "OMG SHE'S AUSTRIAN NOW WHY IS SHE IN OUR CHANNEL AND FORUM"

I don't see why actually becoming Austria if you wanted me to gtfo so badly was anything that major.

And that's good you're defensive. I was afraid this meant Japan would be part of the offensive parts of EDEN also. Which kind of likes to destroy my new country.

Too Much Brown Day 863, 14:04

"Being a founding member of PEACE was neutral? Seriously? "

Hah and yeah, for the longest time Japan was anything but neutral. It was a full blown PEACE member and many would constantly remind everyone that we were a founding member at that. Neutral? yeah, right.

Then Japan slowly took the path of a true neutrality. Of course the PEACE/Phoenix hordes didn't appreciate to now have to deal with a country who now would voice it's opinion instead to just bend-over whenever they would ask. So PEACE took an aggressive stance against Japan, thru PTO means, and forced it out of neutrality.
