Japanimal Farm

A spectre is haunting eJapan - the spectre of City Party. All the Powers of old Japan have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Akki and JEC, eJapanese militarists and laissez faire businessmen.

Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as PTOers by its opponents in power? Where the Opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of PTOer against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

The main characters in the novel


eJapan Dramatis Personae
-City Party - Former undisputed masters of eNorth Korea, most of their members moved en masse to eJapan after their country was destroyed by eRussia
-Old Major (Alfanasiy Drago) - Former leader of eNorth Korea, from its birth to its destruction, still proposes peace treaties from time to time. (yes I know it's for the exp., but it still reminds me of the end of the movie "Downfall" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkUzfAfwP1A) "...are the Russians so close??")
-Goku Jones, (former)Party President of Godzilla Party, his private organization bought a government company from his own government department and then dumped 990+ units of Q1 food on the market at an undercutting price, at least until this article came out, earning him the title "The Food Man"
-Lejina, Party President of "The Ronin," the party formerly known as the Black Dragon Party before take-over, a party ironically dedicated at first to the conquest of additional regions in eKorea.
-The Sheep, all the diehard Godzilla voters that one never sees anyway in the traditional eJapan places, like #eJapan IRC channel or the National Forums at Nipponblog.net. One wonders where they are organizing so well for all those coordinated votes...?
-Akki, the eJapanese businessman, who decided not to help the original eSouth Koreans in their time of need, and has companies in these orgs:

-The Theocrats, from international pariahs to now-being-considered for Sol membership. Well-played, did they win the Battle of the Windmill?
-"Boxer," the long-suffering two clickers, all those good eJapanese born and raised eJapan, but perhaps unaware of the greater forces at work in their eNation.


The original cover submission, rejected as not "Imperial Sunny" enough

"We have always been at war with the United States... But looking at our events list, I wonder have we always been at war with Indonesia?"
-eJapan in 1984


After passing through the tunnel, it was snow country.

And so the weather in the Northern Hemisphere grows colder, and in my ever-continuing desire to avoid being in "Snow Country," I have moved to Taiwan (in real life) to spend the winter. I will still have time for eRepublik, of course, between nights at the night market and endless Chinese-language tongue twisters to help me improve my pronunciation.

About the author: a great fan of literature, political satire, and especially George Orwell. From Kyoto, Japan, KITA Ikki is the party president of the Imperial Sun Party and member of congress from the Kanto region. His hope is that the government of eJapan will set an inspirational example for others to follow, and that elected officials will not use their positions for their own benefit, no matter what their political persuasion: "A well-run government that fairly represents all of the people will surely attract the most dedicated citizens from all over the world."

He hopes the readers will appreciate the references and have a great time playing eRep!
