Country President Elections
This is the official newspaper of the Imperial Sun Party. All Imperial Sun Party members and those interested in eJapanese politics are asked to read, vote, and subscribe to the "New Society" newspaper.
ISP voters, this is again your chance to influence national politics. Many of you are aware that the Imperial Sun Party has the largest congressional delegation, but we also have one of the strongest voter bases, thanks to active party members such as yourself. In the recent congressional election, Imperial Sun Party candidates received more than 120 votes, a number which possibly indicates our probable votes in a presidential election. The announced candidates for president of Japan are incumbent president Dokomo (Godzilla) and Smily132 (eSOS Brigade).

Party members, please go and express your opinions and vote soon!
Please give special consideration to candidate's positions on foreign affairs. As many of you know, Japan was formerly a member of the PEACE GC alliance. In the last month, PEACE GC has fallen apart, with the most influential (and aggressive) members leaving the organization. This has placed our national security arrangement with them in doubt as PEACE could probably no longer help us repel a Russian or US attack should that occur. Fortunately we have established other bilaterial Mutual Protection Pacts which will keep us relatively safe. However, we must ensure that this security continues in the future. President Dokomo now moves us towards the EDEN alliance, of which the USA is now a member. This could possibly place us into conflict with Russia, particularly as we have opposed their attacks in North Korea and China. He has also named Alfanasiy Drago, former President of North Korea and new (as of two days ago) Japanese citizen, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, a move that may place us into further conflict with the Russians.
I bring this up now because it is important that leaders and candidates be clear about their decision-making process. Moving into conflict with Russia essentially leaves us no choice but to ally with the Americans. This is not necessarily a bad thing--the Russians have been very heavy-handed with their attacks in Asia lately, and this goes against our principles as believers in the Righteous Nation philosophy. However, I hope the the United States will take the moral high ground and confront the offenders directly as opposed to advocating an easy short cut such as a Kyushu region swap, as the Indonesians did four months ago.
Personally, I continue to support Dokomo as president because he and the Godzilla Party have brought many good changes to the country. The economy is doing as well as can be expected, given the lack of natural resources in Japan, and we have a surplus of gold now due to Minister of Finance Vorph's tweaking of the monetary market. When the party primary [vote] is closed, I suspect that a majority of the Imperial Sun Party members will also continue to support him.
I am also pleased to say that there has been a lot of progress in rank progression in the Japanese military. As Minister of Defense, I have been following many of you closely and have been pleased to see many of you make general and even field marshal at rates of speed not possible without government assistance. We have also established depot organizations like Teishin Shudan and Imperial Japanese Airforce that provide our high-ranking, high-strength members of the military with immediate Q5 weapons access so we can have a maximum effect in battle. The president and I will continue to work on effective methods for distributing orders to the Japanese military, but the success of this endeavor rests mainly with the soldiers and how active they choose to be in carrying out orders. Get online, go the the #eJapan.mil IRC channel on the Coldfront servers and read the JIA Reports newspaper for orders.
To further improve our military's performance, I would also like to see gifts made available to our soldiers so they can get in an extra fight without purchasing wellness boxes. Hopefully a share agreement can be worked out with the JIS organization which has the government gift company and more than 1000 Q1 gifts in stock.
And lastly, an update....
The National Bank of eJapan, located in Nihonbashi, the heart of Neo-Tokyo, where the stolen money was returned!
The theft of the national treasury was a serious crime and brought attention to the issue of password security. The organizations that move the government--military orgs, Bank of Japan, Japanese Interior Service--all need money to do their work. Cabinet ministers and the president have the passwords, so it is very important that only reliable people have access to the organization passwords. Fortunately the Admin took action, returned the money, and issued bans to offenders.
No, really, this is the last thing...
What are the candidates positions on groping?

Great news about gifts to soldiers!
It has been interesting to note the shift in alliance that's been gradually taking place. How this will result about remains to be observed with great interest.
Good points. A gifting program would be helpful in an emergency. Wonder what will happen when the new modules are effective.
"Fortunately the Admin took action, returned the money, and issued bans to offenders."
Thee admins liked my appeal and I got unbanned, it was actually really inconvenient because I'd left for vacation that day before the overturning of the decision.
Unfortunately your support of the Godzilla PTO is still disappointing and unexpected given things we have discussed in private. I had never pegged you to be a "real politician" KITA.
The idea of gifts sound great. Voted. o>
>I had never pegged you to be a "real politician" KITA.
That's a good joke Walorm, especially because Kita is the Minister of Defense and the consecutive party leader of one of the biggest and one of the most influential party in Japan. Not to mention he gets the most votes from the people of Japan during congress elections.
Also another great article. I have a gift company that can distribute gifts for free, assuming the members work under my company.
"Support of the Godzilla PTO"
If you take a look at all of the news media articles written in Japan since the Godzillas arrived, you will see that mine have been and still are the most critical of the Godzillas. Real opposition to the "Godzilla PTO" should have come in the form of clear news media articles and well-organized action, not a backroom theft of government funds.
I remain skeptical of the way the Godzillas make decisions, whether it was Goku Jones moving the JIS food company around when Minamoto was president or the Dokomo's selection of Drago as Minister of Foreign Affairs. These weren't snap decisions, but were certainly discussed somewhere. The question is where?
However, this is not the sleepy Japan of early 2009. Now that MPPs are more expensive and the escalation of player gold, rank and strength (read "battle damage"😉 continues, we need to have a well-organized government to maintain Japan's strength. The Godzillas are trying to build it, so is the ISP. I never got any indication that this was happening with governments in the first half of 2009.
"I remain skeptical of the way the Godzillas make decisions, whether it was Goku Jones moving the JIS food company around when Minamoto was president or the Dokomo's selection of Drago as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Neither decision was discussed in a place where I saw it, and I have access to both the supers3cr3t Godzilla forum and the IRC channel.
My personal investigation revealed that Goku Jones moving the JIS food company was him being dumb.
Don't get me wrong, I love Goku and he does good work. But... he's kind of dumb.
Also I would suggest that everyone simply ignore Walorm in the future. He's just trying desperately to grab whatever attention he can, the poor boy. Now that he's lost the money, he truly has nothing to capture it anymore. I almost feel bad. Almost.
i am formerly of the usa, been in japan for more than four months now, no plan to go back, the usa isnt that great. but PEACE is gone so we should find a new direction in our foreign affairs, maybe the usa is a good solution. i am not a fan of drago after north korea blindly attacked russia, but i doubt the same will happen here.
after all who wants to be known as the group that got two countries shot out from under them? if dokomo is a really good president, he can convince the usa to help us make the theocrats the first group to make that claim!
"north korea blindly attacked russia"
This is either an intentional misrepresentation of events, or a statement that stems from ignorance.
"This is either an intentional misrepresentation of events, or a statement that stems from ignorance."
so there was a plan behind the north korean attack on russia? if you are still talking about the 'blocking attack' that did not really do much to stop the russian invasion of the usa and since the russians are still there, it was either a bad plan or a failed plan. dont the americans care enough about their allies to liberate north korea? or was north korea nothing more than a colony full of americans anyway？
there are two kinds of countries in the game now, the big powers and the rest of us. some citizens are interested in joining small countries to build up something independent. lets just say we are not here for the good economy! and some citizens see small countries as pawns in the power struggles of the big powers.
were the actions of north korea back in july more consistant with the first philosophy or the second? what lessons do those currently in our government who were involved with north korea's collapse bring with them to japan?
i see theyve brought drago back as foreign minister, and he has already pulled an oraizan by going abroad again and working for a foreign company based in spain that probably isnt contributing much to japan.
I'm glad that it was ignorance and not an intentional misrepresentation.
The context of what happened back then is pretty significant, and the circumstances more complex than what you have so far thought them to be.
To summarise;
- We had fought of Russian/PEACE PTO attempts at every congressional and presidential election for months. Not sneaky surprise-PTOs, but overt and taunting
- We had just offered Russia a Peace Treaty because we knew our border with them presented a tempting and easy target, but they refused the treaty
- PEACE attacks the eUS and other countries, and the geopolitics at the time clearly signalled eNK was a priority target for eRussia. The refused peace treaty was only one factor.
- The eUS approached our congress with an offer to support us in exchange for the blocking move.
We had to make a choice. We were in no position to sit on the fence and not pick sides. We could refuse the eUS, and suffer more PTO attempts or outright invasion from PEACE, or we could throw our lot in with the other super power. We knew it was a risky move, but it was not a random move. It was debated extensively, back and forth. It was certainly not "blind" like you indicate.
I am not sure which is worse: Peter McGoon intentional misrepresentation of events or the lousy plan that Daeish clearly describes. Since eNK basically remains occupied to this day, I wonder what offer of support the eUSA offered that was worth attacking a clearly superior foe? eRussia was one of the aggressors, but although I am a believer in the Righteous Nation philosophy, it does no good if you get wiped out.
And as for Drago's employment, it does appear that he stopped by just long enough to get eJapanese citizenship before going back to Spain to work for a company operated by APPBurgos.com, an organization that has received a large sum of gold from Caja del Estado, apparently an eSpanish government organization. Shouldn't the new foreign minister of eJapan work for an eJapanese company?
Perhaps he does not consider the position particularly worthwhile. After all, I think this article:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/enorth-korea-forums-995946/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/enor[..]1/20
clearly states his opinion about eJapanese foreign affairs: "No more dead weight foreign ambassadors, so if you are not up to the task then you should try to being Ambassador to Japan or something."
Drago is a big mistake for the position of eJapanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, having got the job via his old connections to the Godzilla Party. Oraizan leaving the country after her single presidential term or GlaDOS becoming a member of congress for a week then leaving are probably the only worse decisions.
🙂
Kita, Peter. I was there too, in NK. It didn't matter if we attacked or not. Attack and we would get invaded. Hold off and we were going to be PTOd. My understanding of the game was still a little fresh at that point, but even I knew what it meant when Smirnoff won PP of City Party Lite and hordes of Russians started moving in.
I do agree, no one wants to get wiped out, but it's important to be honest and realistic about what the situation really was. There was no path to victory in that stance, so the choice was to give the final middle finger to Russia for all of it's PTO shenanigans. When it gets to that point, looking at annihilation at either choice, I don't see how Drago made the wrong choice.
Going down in a blaze of glory may have been the correct choice for eNorth Korea, I have seen maybe one or two former Koreans complain about it (the lack of dissent on this is peculiar). But that's eHistory. Picking the guy who so flamboyantly represented eNK as the eJapanese Minister of Foreign Affairs is the wrong decision. As you can see from his article comments, he clearly sees eJapan as some "lesser" country.
It is a shame that there are more than a few people like that in the Godzilla Party, but I don't suppose he'll stop working for a foreign company or bother to retract his previous comments in another article, and it is unlikely to derail Dokomo's bid for election.
Well, I think the more vocal people from the former North Korea (before it became Russia's TW playground) are largely very active and understand the decision. There are a couple of people running around who are vehemently against it, in most of those cases I have found that they hated City Party more than the decision to invade Russia.
I won't speak for Drago, nor could I if I would. I will say that my impression is that he does not think Japan is a lesser country, only that it was managed by some people who did not care for it's success as a nation. Japan has come such a long way just since I (and a lot of North Koreans) got here, and the work was started before we came. And it will continue, I hope.
@KITA
What little dissent you hear on the surprise training war comes generally from Zammuel or nicholas2000, you need to go no further than the erep forums to see what kind of credibility they have. The rest are City Party haters from the small but extremely vocal Communist minority. The move was argued about extensively before the final decision.
Count me in the City Party haters. I was no communist, and I thought Celio and his group of multis sucked, but I always thought City Party was kind of a cult in how they ran things. If you weren't in it, you were nothing in North Korea. It does not matter how badly their leadership makes decisions, their supporters will keep voting for them no matter what. eJapanese should know they take care of their own first, just look at Drago's rags to riches story, from never having citizenship to Minister of Foreign Affairs in eJapan.
And from the comments above, it looks like they have started moving from the Godzilla party into the other parties like ISP and TFC too.
i would like to continue this discussion in another article:

I don't know what City Party did to you, Keris, that makes you follow around former members in articles making snarky comments and trying to ignite months old drama... guess I wasn't around for that.
I liked the ISP, I've been in the ISP since I came to Japan, and have never been in Godzilla Party. Keep on keeping on though, I look forward to seeing the same bitter comments in another 4 months.
