Where to start? I am a long time eJapanese citizen, I have done many things in this country, most notably being a two term country president in one of our most turbulent times. However, during my time peace and prosperity ensued, we rebuilt, reorganized and most of all prospered more beyond anyone thought we could. We had active ministers dedicated to preserving what Japan stood for, a beacon of peace to all of East Asia in eRepublik. We did our best to repair relations with TERRA, we pursued new relationships, and filled our empty bank coffers.

In all of this I did not once cast eJapan's long standing pride and morality aside, we have always been a proud country, one that did not cave or buckle under pressure. If I am elected once more as country president of eJapan I vow to continue this trend, we will negotiate with the Taiwanese as equals, not as their lesser beings. In doing this we will need to look for help from countries that were close to eJapan in the past, sadly it appears we have lost much contact with these countries such as the USA and Brazil for example. eJapan used to have a very act Department of Foreign Affairs, as such I will be reviving this ministry and full swing. For this task I have given it to Alfred Ball, he is a very experienced MoFA, and has been Minister of Foreign Affairs for Japan for an astounding 5 times, 4 of which were served consecutively. He also has been a country president for Japan twice, giving him great insight to Japan's precarious position, I have no doubt he will do much to attempt to restore Japan's connections once more. As such I would like to focus my cabinet on experience, as well as make way for the new faces of Japan, and citizens who have been around a long time but have been more on the side of social then being involved in a cabinet. As to kick off the campaign of having experienced ministers with new ministers so they may learn and become more involved I have placed Akira Kaburagi as the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs.

In addition to the experience that Alfred Ball will provide for the country I have selected Nowe as my Vice President to help oversee things ongoing in eJapan along with Alfred Ball as they are both incredibly active. Throughout the article you will see some very old faces in eJapan and some new ones as well.

Some things that us eJapanese have held dear for a long time have recently come under fire as well, I have heard disturbing reports of Sumeragi claiming that he has made the constitution defunct, with no congressional vote or anything. This is clearly something that he cannot do, so we must write these off as simple ramblings from an out of touch CP.

This leads me into my point:

Transparency and the Ministry of Media

We have seen a severe lack of transparency in eJapan recently, especially this month. There has been secret voting proposal hid from most of eJapan spare those in congress. In a surprising turn we are left with out free and open forum which eJapan as enjoyed for a very long time. As such if elected, I vow to revive the Ministry of Media with Friedrice leading it, he has serious experience running a newspaper of information and as such would be perfect to take up the position, he is also incredibly active and would be a fine addition to any cabinet, I am extremely glad to have him aboard to help lead Japan into a new era of prosperity.


Teaching Our Young and the Ministry of Education

For the Ministry of Education I went with Ahava3233, I have noticed quite a bit from her lately, she is politically active, outspoken, and quite smart. While she is not an old citizen of Japan she has quickly become very experienced, she also runs the largely successful Kenji Foundation and has done so very well and is dedicated to it. As such she would be perfect for the Ministry of Education and providing our nation with nurturing insight. She would be an excellent addition to the cabinet, and as such if elected as country president I know she will excel greatly in this position.

The Ministry of Defense

I have chosen DankChronic to continue on as the Minister of Defense, not only is he excellent at book keeping which is vital to the job, he is active as hell and works with the citizens of the official Japanese MU. I have no doubt he will continue to lead the ministry to success once more. To pump some new blood into the Ministry I have decided on going with Kashikoi as the vice minister.

The Ministry of Security

This ministry was not only a huge necessity to protecting us against multies due to our small population, but it was incredibly effective in it's previous state as a vanguard to both foul play, watching out for odd population influxes, hunting down multi farms, and dealing with immigration, I don't have a citizen in mind for this job, but I would gladly be willing to accept anyone interested in performing this duty.

Minister of Finance

The MoF will be none other then exReality, his reputation proceeds him and he needs no introduction, he is an experienced everything in Japan. He has worked his ass of for this country for as long as I can remember and he will be vital for any position.

Minister of Culture and History

An extremely long running Ministry and one that provides fun and enthusiasm for all Japanese citizens, as such it was tough to find someone dedicated to the position, I however came across Haruhi as I remember him being extremely dedicated to the job long ago. I have faith that he will continue the Japanese tradition of the MoCH Ministry very well.

Closing Notes

As you can see I have put together a very diverse cabinet of experienced and new players alike, and a bipartisan one of that from citizens of all walks. I have the utmost faith that if elected myself and these chosen individuals will lead Japan into great prosperity and restore our nations honor, I would be appreciative of any support and wish the best of luck to all.
