Japan's Role in the World
Dokomo
Yesterday Japan took back her honor and pride by standing up to an invading nation. No nation deserves to have their land trod upon, unasked for and unwanted. We shall do all we can to defend Kyushu and Japan from foreign aggression and to ensure the liberty of her people. Our Army fought better than ever and we thank them for their service.
Japan has been thrust onto the world stage by America. We are the center of attention this week. Asia as a whole is spinning out of control. Japan has been contacted by nations around the region asking us to aid them. And we have long and deep friendships with these nations. The Righteous Nation is a nation that defends itself from Foreign Domination, to be sure, but it is also an Agent for Righteousness throughout the world.
Our neighbors in China have languished under foreign occupation for many months now. The citizens of China rose up in concert with the USA to see their land free, but their gambit has failed. They fought against Japan but I do not begrudge them that. Instead I will tell Phoenix this. If anything happens to China, be it an attack, PTO, economic meddling, or other, I will retreat Kyushu to the United States.
As a Righteous Nation Japan also should help guarantee the freedom of her friends. So I will say further, China deserves her land back. I want Phoenix to have a contract ready to return all Chinese regions except Heilongjiang back to China by 23:59 server time Sunday. With the consultation of Congress I will act on any failure by Phoenix to give justice to China in that time. If these goals are met, I will continue to ensure the safety of Heilongjiang and Phoenix in Asia.
Citizens of Japan, the past few days have brought the biggest changes to Japan we could have feared. We want to be neutral in the wars that rage around us, yet our friends in Asia suffer while we sit shielded by Phoenix. It is not just China, but others as well. We have grown comfortable for a long time, but it comes at the expense of others happiness. We live an easy life of internal divisions while others must band together in a desperate attempt to survive. This state cannot continue if we wish to live the ideals we profess. It has to change for Japan to become what she was meant to be. We must act in order to truly be a Righteous Nation!

Being righteous demands that we help China
Yay China! Also, India.
We cannot turn a blind eye to Phoenix's oppression of our Chinese allies!
Can somebody explain the Resistance War part of the war module in a little more detail before I piece together my thoughts on this?
I like the sound of eChina and eIndia finally free, though. Excellent work, Dokomo!
We must be righteous in actions as well as words. Let's stand beside our Asian brothers and refuse to allow further actions against them!
FREE CHINA
It's a good first step. It is sad that it took an international incident and involve our neighbors including Japan in this matter in order to show the resolve the Chinese people have in seeking the return of our homeland.
I hope a quick resolution may be reached to prevent further destruction.
Let eJapan live up to its sound principles of the Righteous Nation Philosophy!
~hyuu~
Free China
Also your army didn't win that battle. PEACE Tanks won that battle. Duh.
Free China.
Go eJapan!
Oh good golly lets force them to do something they physically can't so we can have an excuse to give the population to let the US through.
Awesome plan Dokomo.
Plus what happened to not posting things what were posted in discreet matters? or is that limited to me?
Our army may not have won, but we performed above our weight in my opinion. Remember that only a couple of months ago, the JIA had no government funding. For a small nation we are doing very well, I think.
Well done. But I can't see Iran leaving Liaoning. Oh and what about India?
China deserves to have their land back. This is an excellent decision.
Bertil makes a great point, Free China and India!
Thank you, Dokomo and Japan.
RESPECT
Okay, maybe I should rephrase my question: Why will it take longer for Phoenix to free the regions of eChina? I'd like to see them freed as soon as possible myself.
If we want to help China, why do we have to retreat OUR land?
If the US wants to help the people they seem to be so desperate to do so, why can't they start RWs and send their mobile forces? A small price to pay to act like a big man.
And once again Fae comes in spouting off about subjects and ideals she knows nothing about.
Anyway, YAY China. Also, India.
"Oh good golly lets force them to do something they physically can't so we can have an excuse to give the population to let the US through."
You should read the Phoenix charter.
"Awesome plan Dokomo."
Yes, indeed it is.
"Plus what happened to not posting things what were posted in discreet matters? or is that limited to me?"
Last I checked, you were not the President. If the President chooses to divulge information that's his prerogative, especially when it's from a post he made in (in)Discreet Matters.
You, on the other hand, have no respect at all for our secrets.
I don't remember Akki and co. getting this much crap for retreating land to Indo. And no one is retreating anything here. Dokomo is just trying to get Phoenix to do the right thing.
Altmer you know very well that won't work. It's the US' 2 clicker popualtion that forms a great deal of their damage and defense.
It seems the objective is to accomplish these goals with no war at all, though.
Seems to be fair. Thx, Japan for helping us out. 🙂
Vote.
GO O.M.R.

Approved. Good job, Dokomo.
In that case eSrbija do eTokija.
Great to see a politician with a spine for once. Thanks for using this unique opportunity as a chance to do good Dokomo!
Some talk about helping CHina, but let us not make ourselves a target to Phoenix in the process. Don't burn your house down to keep your neighbors warm. That's no way to help.
Rightiousness is all well and good til Japanese businesses are under Phoenix or EDEN command because they thought that the eJapan was better occupied "for the well being of the Japanese people" of course.
Pragmatism has to outweigh rightiousness or you end up without a country to be rightious in the first place.
Keep up the good work Mr. President
What is the point of the massive amounts of gold spent defending Kyushu? If you believed from the start that the eUSA was righteous and good, then you would have listened to their offer. You refused, we were invaded by a foreign army, and suddenly you want to let them through?
I want to help China. I do not see, however, how Japan is the only way through.
I also worry - if Asia is in such a mess, and we let the eUSA through, what happens to eJapan? Now we are in the spotlight - do that and we will be the top target for these nations. If eUSA is successful, then retreats, and then it's eJapan which gets occupied - will they return to help us? I am thinking that they won't.
I say we stay neutral. Neutral means taking NO side.
This seems like a threat towards Pheonix to free the regions or we will let eUS steam roll them which is what we opposed just two days ago.
I understand that the people were what kept you from retreating the first time, but there is a good chance they will refuse to free the regions. I am against region swapping, it will just continue to bring foreign nations to our gates for renting Kyushu.
An elegant plan. The Righteous Nation uses the power of words to free occupied regions for her ally instead of violence. Awesome.
One eAmerican here. First off, if you can get eChina and eIndia free without letting us through, more power to you! I honestly don't care how that happens as long as it does. eChina and eIndia deserve to have power over their regions.
And while I think my country would help if you were invaded, regardless, I'd show up personally to defend against PHOENIX aggression.
what about india? Iran is planning to PTO them as well.
"As a Righteous Nation Japan also should help guarantee the freedom of her friends. So I will say further, China deserves her land back. I want Phoenix to have a contract ready to return all Chinese regions except Heilongjiang back to China by 23:59 server time Sunday. "
lol blackmail is righteous all of a sudden?
it is obvious that US finalized their PTO of Japan.
Well, you failed once, you will fail at HelloKitty again.
well done dokomo
Well written Dokomo! Free China!
Japan, I hope you will let us help you be a righteous nation by removing oppressors from China and India. I can respect your right to sovereignty and understand the feeling of being used as a "door," but giving us a foot in Asia to fight Phoenix will be the best and only way to restore your neighbors' sovereignty.

Couldn't have said it better myself Lt. Scheisskopf.
I hope the great powers will not ignore these strong words from our president. He allowed our armed forces to deny the eUSA Kyushu already, proof that he is not a "puppet" or eUSA PTO.
eJapan strongly wishes to help eChina. This was our goal even before Dokomo came to power. The Righteous Nation stands with allies to stop aggression. We don't want the eUSA in eChinese regions anymore than we want eHungary. Unfortunately as a small country we do not have the military strength to assist them, so we must apply diplomatic pressure.
I hope Phoenix will return the eChinese regions willingly.
Dokomo: " If anything happens to China, be it an attack, PTO, economic meddling, or other, I will retreat Kyushu to the United States."
lol China is already under US PTO.
This is an interesting development.
What about India? Are they not as valuable of neighbors to you as China?
OMG.
I don't want to sound malicious, but remember when France decided to become The Righteous Country... The world simply doesn't function this way...
P.S. This is my personal opinion

I'd love to see Phoenix try and hold Kyushu from the US as a colony. They want us here, they NEED us here. And they know it. Phoenix will not be trapsing through our beautiful regions and we all know it.
Dokomo how much money will you get from USA to press retreat button ?
This about free China is just funy...we are not soo stupid 🙂 And as asciper sad "I don't want to sound malicious, but remember when France decided to become The Righteous Country... The world simply doesn't function this way..."
