Announcements [Congress #3]

Day 1,048, 16:30 • Published in Japan Japan • by Aston Reynold

With the advent of the new, temporary government comes a number of attempts at fixing eJapan after the destruction wrought by Sugawara and his kind. For the most part, this is basically all Congress has been talking about the last few days.




Among the work we have to do, we have to get the economy back on track. There has been a proposal to print around 40,000 yen for government expenses, which is especially necessary after a lot of the money of the previous administrations 'magically disappeared' after e😜resident Sugawara changed the passwords to a number of government organizations, preventing access to the money stored therein.

Additional steps are also being taken to defend against any further dangers to the economic situation, and our Ministries should be able to get back on track with the much-needed funds.



Second, major reforms are taking place for the Constitution under the auspices of myself and Geno. Basically, we're focusing on clearly defining areas of the Constitution so that it cannot be abused again. We want to make it abundantly clear that the Constitution defines what is truly 'righteous' for our nation so that no future president can simply reinterpret the Constitution for his/her own gain, or the gain of his/her personal allies/supporters.

Together with the Constitutional reform, there are discussions about reforming the entire organization of the government. A few want a unique type of government, returning to the interest garnered by the 'roleplay' crowd while still retaining the interest of the in-game-only crowd. I myself brought up two possibilities regarding a dual-presidency system that is still undergoing review. There are many benefits of this, with the only major downfall brought forward being that the plans are 'too cumbersome'.

As Congressmen, it should be our duty to work our hardest for the good of eJapan, regardless of how 'cumbersome' our work may be. Thus, I will ask that Congressmen please continue to review the proposal and bring up any negative aspects that need to be looked into and fixed.



Other discussions include preparations for possible training wars, which are a much-needed distraction for out in-game crowd. Thoughts have been brought forward about joining the South American TWs, but there is still debate going on about this.

With the national treasury gone, it will be exceedingly difficult to get into an expensive (by our standards now) set of war games. Hence, there is some discussion of MPPs that will likely get us some wars and, hopefully, some experience with it.


Shim: FFFFFUUUUUUUU--

Finally, there is some ongoing controversy over the recent presidential impeachment proposal brought forward by Shim Myeon-eun. The Congressman apparently has the intention of deposing TheReverendSeanV because he is a Dioist, and because he trolled the news media like Sugawara (although he didn't run off with the country's money like Suga).

Instead, Shim seems intent on letting an Indonesian get the presidency, and active, legitimate Congressmen are fighting the proposal while the Indonesian Congressmen are trying to vote it through so they can gain control.



Hopefully, we will see the end of these conflicts soon. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
