Representative Dictatorship
Tokihanatsu Shibou
Countries need Democracy to thrive, because let's face it who wants to sit here and smash the Fight Button all day long. With the recent change in the game, Dictatorships have taken over the systems of governance in almost all Countries in the New World. Few Liberation Efforts have been attempted in many cases. So now that Japan has installed a Dictatorship we have a Congress and President that must influence a Dictators opinions on Laws. Which beats the reality of a Rogue Dictator doing whatever he or she wants.
As in the case of lowly Japan, Congress has been more or less dissolved. A few days ago I sent a message regarding the Minimum Wage to our Dictator and he replied that he would do whatever the Minister of Finance (Governor) suggested. Even though a Minimum Wage Law requires a Congress under normal circumstances they have been superseded by the Executive Branch of Government here. Congress has zero influence on Governance here even though they have been elected just like the Country President.
Japan has no National Forum, has no National IRC room, and because of this Democracy has been stifled. I have not asked Congress members but I am fairly certain they have not been contacted at all regarding Law creation. There is probably no 'grouped personal message' including them. They are probably not even consulted in regards to anything.
This Executive Branch -> Dictator -> Law creation process is probably unique to Japan while other Nation's include their Congress members in the Law making process. In the USA and Serbia and other Nation States, because of the threat of a foreign lead Military Coup, they have installed Dictatorships. In the USA Congress approved a measure and set up a system that I think should be emulated here in Japan.
In the US System the Dictator IS the elected Country President and in a forum based discussion Congress goes about its Law making duties the same way it would be done without a Country President as Dictator. Japan must modernize its approach for fairness to the electorate.
Case in point: Currently we have had a successful round of Training Wars with the Russian State and now we are closing them for Congress Elections so that we have more seats, but for what reason? If Congress has no say here and everything is run by an Executive committee who cares if we have Congress Elections at all?
I say again: Japan cannot afford to continue on its current path. It must modernize and that requires a National IRC room and a National Forum space. I have had limited forum Administrator experience in the past and if the community wants I can help whoever decides to host a site. We need a democracy even though medal gold is forfeit under Dictatorships, we need something to unify the country and carry out a National Dialogue. Group PM's are not the answer neither is limited IRC alone.
As a Dioist Party President I seek for everyone in my Party to March in lock step, Unified in a Cause... Japan should follow this example, that Cause is a Unified Japan.

"lowly Japan"??
Ranked 49
Rather awkward wording, it's 49 out of 74, the link does not lead to the ranking and it has nothing to do with the next sentence... Why denigrate your own country?
We are weak compared to many Nations, that's just a fact of today, tomorrow might be different
Also I am referring to us a Lowly because we are dis-unified Politically.
Toki, I will rather use this list for comparison of Japan to other countries: http://prntscr.com/76jrmt
..So, the 30th place according to the damage its not bad at all.
And about your sentence 'we are dis-unified Politically': almost every eCountry has the same situation
Not every Country has a Civil War as deep as ours
Believe me, there are countries with even deeper dis-unification, but it wouldn't be diplomatically correct to name it. In some countries, they have three opponent sides: official parliamentarian majority; opposition that is for the MC; and opposition that is against MC attempt.
The samurai must fight.
I say again: Japan cannot afford to continue on its current path. It must modernize and that requires a National IRC room and a National Forum space.
100 times agree!
But months were taken to prepare MC....
And only 3 words to ruin all of that..
Personally i am for *DEMOCRATIC DICTATORSHIP* so i should write once about it.
I have a Question "But months were taken to prepare MC...." What is MC?
I think Democratic Dictatorship is a fitting word for what I am after.
Oh Military Coup never mind.
Military Coup (MC) raised by Squibeel and Nicolas.
I just supported the MC like the half of the citizens
Sorry Nic, i can't trust you on that.
But never mind, you supported it and that's done.
Now we need to see how to fix that damage.
Soon i will make some platform for negotiations and i will be need support from PP in Japan for meeting.
@Hideyoshi: About ''I just supported the MC like the half of the citizens'': one correction 'almost half'..
But, it is more important fact, that your 'almost half' have only the 1/4 of the strength of eJapan (according to the MU damage list: http://prntscr.com/76ju3b). So. It's quite obvious that you counted on big help from your foreign friends in MC, but you forgot that we have personal friends in other countries, too (no official help from any government we didn't have in MC). Ask yourself why the strongest Portugal players helped our side against Squibeel in your MC attempt?
And, the fact that your side first attempted to overthrow the elected government, gave us the moral wright to do the Coup. You made it morally legal to us to do the Coup whenever we want it in the future..
But, even that we don't have to make any deals with opposition (because we have more strength, and because we are winning on the elections), like Padre said, we want to calm political situation in Japan and to cooperate with opposition. We thing that is more than generous offer from our side, for the purpose of better and stronger eJapan.
* ''thing''=''think''
But I don't care about all of this. I play with everything Plato gives me.
You have the support of Serbia and a better organization/strength ? Well good for you, I'm not a fighter just a politician who play with many tools whose the possibility to make a MC against an inactive government. But I'm happy for you if you have friends.
And if you don't want to make a deal then stop it. Try to solve why some people would like to make this MC. Llike the robbing of Maid Cafe but it was the ULJ fault too to don't take the MU after the dead of the commander .
I think it's better to ask directly to Squibeel, a former CP/MoFA of Japan who fight against Portugal during their AS.
If you want a stronger Japan, learn about your mistakes and be more active than the past. Padre or Jeti show the good way, try to make the same thing in each ministries.
It's the only thing I want. And when I see the MoFA ask to Orion to come when Japan is still in Nebula, I think some players have a long way to make it.

I can agree with that.
But throw a stone if you are sinless...
Why you didn't show in-out money when you were Governor of national bank?
''But I don't care about all of this. I play with everything Plato gives me.'' Okay, but why then your friends from opposition complaining now about our dictatorship?
About help of Serbia: There were not any call or battle order in any Serbian official newspapers (MoD Battle orders or similar, for fight on our side in the DW, (only our personal friends came to help us, but not only from Serbia).
Yes, if we all want a stronger Japan, we all must learn about mistakes in the past. As you can see MoFA team has issued two articles already (I hope you have read it); we arranged good MPP-s, and we now have stronger allies then ever in eJapan history. Why we didn't saw at least one comment from the opposition in that articles? Also, we said that our team is open for suggestions to all the people of Japan, regardless of their political affiliation, but still we didn't get not a single one suggestion from anybody from your political side.
About Orion: how is that for you conflict of interest? Orion and Nebula are at the same military block. For me, bigger conflict of interest is when (at that time) current MoFA of Portugal launches DW in eJapan, or when (at that time) actual MoFA of France tries to be eJapan CP. According to your logic that we should first exclude us from Nebula before asking Orion, both of you should first resign from (at that time) your current positions, before you tried to be CP or Dictator.
So, if you just want to point that we made mistakes in the past, without recognizing your mistakes, It would be hard to make any deal. Both of our sides must be cooperative and to show that both of them are trying to not make mistakes like in the past; and to recognize good things that other side has done for eJapan, too.
But I did Padre, I can give you the gdoc if you want.
Everyone make mistakes and I didn't say we didn't. I'm not the spokeman of the opposition so I can't say why nobody put a com'. But personally I have others things to do than comment an article.
And I don't have any conflict of interest because I know how to make the difference. And I was already CP of Japan so where is the problem ? Btw When a term is finish, there is a new cabinet. I think you know that. So during the election, I was only a citizen/PP/congressman of Japan who try to be CP again. Where is the conflict of interest here ? Only the newbie didn't know how to make the difference.
And for me yes, if a country want to come in an alliance, they have to be without any alliance to be credible. It was not the case of Japan during the meeting in Orion. And I didn't vote for the entrance of Japan because I know how to make the difference.
I talk with Informer about relation Orion-Japan,and I did it because they were frozen relations between Japan and Nebula.It was the decision of all the members of the government.
and for you is a "problem" because I asked informer might be able in the future to enter the Orion???
" I'm not a fighter just a politician who play with many tools whose the possibility to make a MC against an inactive government."
Japan have inactive government??? please tell me that you just kidding
It's a problem because it was a vote for an entrance, not a consultation for any plan for the future. It's not the same thing.
And yeah, we had an inactive government the last month after 1-2 weeks. You can laugh if you want.
As I know, last month wasn't the only moth that you have been MoFA of France. How could I know if it is not written in your candidacy article that you wouldn't continue to be on the both functions? And why I have doubts for that: Squibeel was actual MoFA of Portugal (did not resigned) when he tried to become Dictator, just like you were actual MoFA of France when you supported DW (please dont tell me that you would be politically inactive in eJapan if your MC was successful).
But I'm glad that at least at one thing we agree, for a start: that you cannot represent two Countries at the same time. As I can see, now you are representing France in Nebula, and it is good that you left PP function here in Japan while you representing France again.. It is a little strange for me how you fast you are changing countries for your political activity, but, hey, it is your eLife, do what you want, who am I to tell you what is morally wrong and what it's right.. 🙂
I just wondering at what side you will be (to defend interest of what country), in some imaginary conflict between Fra and Jpn.. (Just for all readers to know, I dont want any conflict between Fra and Jpn, we are friendly countries, this is theoretical question, as a example for conflict of interest)
I was MoFA only the last month in France since a lot of times. Before I was only Governor of France because they need someone. If I had a position in France, it's only because we asked me. And like I failed to be CP, I accepted the position of MoFA. Btw I supported the MC like a citizen of Japan, i didn't use my position as MoFA to have some support. Or the score wasn't the same during the war. And like it's the opposition who tries to make coup, I'll be one of the leaders because I was 2nd during the election.
Currently I'm the SG of Orion and yes I'm representing France there. I need to be active so when I lost in Japan, I work for France if they need someone. Sorry to be active in the eWorld 😁 And for me if a candidate don't ask me to come in his cabinet then I'll not work for him.
About a war between France and Japan, if Japan attacks France for no reason, I'll fight for France. If France attacks Japan for no reason, I'll fight for Japan. If both fight for a good reason, I'll fight where I have the CS. And currently Japan. But it'll be never happen because a country needs AS to make it and both can't do it 😃
You sit on two chairs, and depending on the situation you switch from one to another?? Does it belong to your "activity in the eWorld"?
Always better to do nothing
Pape Pape Pape SUŠIĆ!!!
Japan needs to be a neutral country i think, and work to have good relations with neighbour countries, no matter from which alliance! Because this is really a mess with this all alliances that exist now.
Long live eJapan!!!
Long live east Asia!!!
*AHEM* I wonder what happened to the last group of people who ran the irc and forum and why the ran out...
They died a horrible death of overdozing... a lot of stuffs after Suika Ibuki started to party with them. Suika didn't know Serbian language and thats how the people who are working for dictatorship right now survived - tru story, dis happnd ;_; been there , seen a horror that pettanko oni can cause
and now seriously: people lost interest, forums and irc were pushed out of use by groups who didn't want to register there *not pointing any fingers* and IG messages were used instead, but now even this is out of use, bc dictator don't need to consult congress etc... yeah playing alone and not involving anyone in any activity is such a great way to play social mmo (but yeah this game is so poor that maybe it's for the better that ppl don't get involved and can move on to better things). Lol, I almost ahava'ed there
