Day 920, 20:18 • Published in South Korea Japan • by Tetsuya Tameru

I'm sure a few of you know me. For those who don't, you should read more news from the war.

I am tetsuya tameru, eJapanese citizen and Japan's ambassador to ePhilippines. Since the war began, its been my declaration that I supported the war. This was apparent through the propaganda I wrote in both nations. Propaganda that was fun to write. Anyways, enough introductions. to the topic at hand.

I do still support that we invaded. I'm not a hypocrite in thinking Japan should be neutral as she was before. I was happy to see my nation invade another after endless training wars and few deployments in her navy. I concede that the war may have been unjust from your perspective. I do regret the outcome and the invasion's effect on your lives and economy, however temporary both are. I came to this conclusion as a result of my ambassadorship to ePhilippines, which recently was attacked by a militarily and demographically superior nation (sound familiar?) The attack began when eSerbia RW'd eUSA-held Mindanao, which had been blocking their advance. For whatever reason, eUSA lost the battle and suddenly the efilipino's found themselves prone. eIndo attacked and has essentially wiped them out to punish them for landswapping with an EDEN power(perhaps there is a lesson to be learned for the future for eSK? your landswapping has irritated many abroad. Just some food for thought).

During the invasion, I had the opportunity to talk to the efilipino's as I do each night on thier IRC. Oddly enough, they asked about how the eSK-eJapanese war was going. As I was responding they asked for help. That struck me as to the similarity between your two nations, both small, both mostly neutral and both the wars being similar in attacker size comparison to the defenders. I suppose at that point my view began to shift regarding you guys here.

So without further ado, allow me to be one of the first eJapanese to apologize for his actions during the war. The propaganda was fun to write but probably not as fun for you to read. It was all written for good fun and I hope someday you have the opportunity to write some articles much like them, hopefully on the aggressive end. I know I shall enjoy reading them as I love a good propaganda post. I apologize for fighting against you, although I would have done so out of duty anyways regardless of if I supported the war or not.

Sorry for the hardship we have caused. I do not support an escalation of hostilities as of this point, nor a resumption of attacks. I hope both our economies will improve to replace the gold we lost fighting one another. At the very least, I hope a new eSK, unified(somewhat) by the war will prosper in place of the in-fighting eSK prior to the invasion. At the very least, good to see activity is up. Good move on the Russian-aided counterattack(even though I miss Jeju T.T)

I hope you will accept this apology and that someday you may come to understand that perhaps, were you in my shoes, you might have acted the same.
