[EXTRA] My Inevitable CP Candidacy Article: Love is Brutal! (愛は厳しいだ!)
ahava3233
コン友達たち!これはアーハヴァーです。 (Hey friends, it's ahava!) In any event, it's about time for me to talk a little about my intentions as Country President for the upcoming elections.
There is a TL
😉R version at the bottom.
Japan, it's my view that since Portugal's airstrike about 40 days ago, we've been having a bit of a rough time. Morale has been down and we've gone through two somewhat dysfunctional governments, one which was led by a president who originally meant well but deserted his post mid-term, and another that who many of you might agree hasn't accomplished much of anything tangible in its term on the domestic front. There's also been the annual dearth of activity due to the summer. So, Japan needs a new manager, aka CP, that being someone who can get it off its feet. This person needs to start us up again from the ground running this September to allow it to rise from ashes like a phoenix! Folks, I hope you'll accept me for the job!
My Dream (Plans)
Many of you might just know me as that "loud" woman and lifetime citizen of Japan from the Shinsengumi Party who came back from a gameplay hiatus a few months back that tends to be on IRC alot. But folks, I'm more than that. Not only do I have experience in party politics, economics, journalism, finance, defense, congress, foreign affairs, and Japanese culture; I have a dream!
1. I have a dream that we will have a unified national military, an unstoppable military where all of our forces can receive supply like in the days of old (as in the old JNF/Japan National Forces) by opting to give the fruits of their labor to the country through a commune, yet still wear the flag of their military unit of choice! Highly effective communes are already a reality in my own MU, the Shinsengumi, as well the Imperial Japanese Army, and I believe we can extend this principle to the rest of the country.
2. I have a dream that we can offer an effective and popular system of government-managed mutual funds for all of our citizens and trusts (MUs, Political Parties, or otherwise) they form between each other, not just a select few, that can be maintained through next month and further. I also have a dream that we can offer a transparent government that tracks all of its finances in near real-time and puts its money towards super-effective programs and MPPs, while ever more increasing our coffers of course!
3. I have a dream that the average Japanese Citizen will take part in our foreign affairs and have the opportunity to represent us overseas as ambassadors with guidance in an extensive ambassador program, bringing back interest and knowledge to Japan!
4. I have a dream that Japan and its allies will be able to work hard and smart together towards the effort to eventually free Honshu from Portuguese oppression and create a better foreign affairs situation, whatever it takes!
Of course however, dreaming is the easy part. To reach this dream, all of our country's systems need to be finely tuned. We need to revamp the military, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and our infrastructure while listening to the suggestions of the populace to get the ball rolling again. We also need to analyze and have open discussion on our country's foreign affairs only with bias towards the greater welfare of Japan and its future, whatever that may mean (CoT or no CoT), if only to unify the state. This takes devotion to the cause, which I know I have. I love this country and want to see it become a thriving place again; I will work my butt off to do it. My nostalgia for a Great Japan is limitless, thus, I am not afraid to do what it takes to get there and will keep fighting, bashing through all the brick walls in my way. I will be an extremely active and accessible CP!
My Team (Cabinet)
As you all already know, to get this done I would not be alone; my current cabinet is thus. Note these are only the people who have agreed to assist thus far, this list is not final.
I have asked my opponent, Squibeel, in particular twice to assist me in matters of Foreign Affairs and/or as a Vice President in our discussions; I have yet to get any response from him on the matter. My dear Squibeel, I really can't be sure if you got my message, but I hope you answer the call as I answered your own my old friend!
Update: I heard back, the idea I got from him is a maybe.
Prime Minister: Kowalski_afc
Ministers of Defense: William of Edenbury and Shadowmaniac
Governor: Rik Daphnee
Ministers of Finance: Sensha and Jetishumadinac
Minister of Foreign Affairs: Nicolas Bonaparte
Minister of Culture and History: Shirobu
Minister of Security: Turt037
You may have noticed a lack of hierarchical distinction between my ministers in each department, save a distinction in the Ministry of Finance between the Governor and the rest of the MoF employees. Well here's my explanation: in order to allow Japan to function as efficiently as possible, I intend to remove bureaucratic hurdles such as vice-ministership to give my Ministers the freedom they need to get things done creatively and quickly in a fully cooperative setup. They will of course remain under my watchful eye, and I will guide them all closely in achieving our goals whilst listening closely to their ideas. If they veer off course, whether accidentally or purposefully, I will take whatever measures necessary to guide their ministry back onto the road. Oh and furthermore...the distinction between the governor and the other Ministers of Finance is regarding national organization management privileges, nothing more (The Governor and I will be handling the orgs, along with one of my Ministers of Finance, Sensha (you may know him better as E Nikolov, the name he's been known by since well over a year ago in this country when he was one of my close compatriots within Sakurakai) to a lesser extent as a trainee).
TL
😉R Version/Conclusion
Long story short, this country needs a team who will be meticulous and hard-working. We have a long and arduous road ahead of us towards rebuilding to a state of prosperity and greatness. I intend to be a somewhat micromanaging and meticulous CP whose team will use her team's resources to get things back on track to the best of her ability and more so despite the odds. I will be brutal in my efforts just like my namesake, ahava (אהבה, meaning love in Hebrew) can be brutal, due in part to my love (愛) for this country.
So, Japan! I ask for your support in the upcoming election to allow me and my cabinet to take the reins and get this country to shine once more.
愛は厳しいだ
Love is Brutal

I wish the Pro-Serbian Coalition good luck!
Thanks..we will do our best not to discriminate by nationality, like some of the others do.
Sweetheart, i was the one to approve you for head of graphics. If i wanted to discriminate you, i could have done so.
Maybe you are new but it is called the proserbian coalition because it's only program is: "1 MPP with Serbia".
Lol,
TWO (and thus Serbia's alliance, albeit not ruling out an MPP) almost certainly isn't happening I'll give you that much. TWO is an offensive alliance. Looking at our FA situation is about either.
A: Quelling dissent in the populace so we can actually work better as a unit as a CoT member.
B. Leaving CoT and going unaligned or with another more defense oriented alliance so we can actually chose a more effective to set of MPPs. Many would argue that CoT isn't doing us much good now, however that could be the fact CoT is just busy, or the fact that William of Edenbury is our only real CoT rep at the present time.
Point is, FA changes need to be on the table,
My loyalty lies with Japan, not CoT, as should yours. If CoT isn't working or won't in the future, we should cut the cord. If it is, keep it.
Meaning i was right: All you intend to do is leave CoT and get a MPP with Serbia.
My loyality is to eJapan and not eNew Serbia.
Neither Cot or eSerbia can bring this country forward, only it's own citizens. You want shortcuts instead of working on this country.
Intend to leave CoT.
No
Intend to discuss CoT, and then possibly stay or leave,
Yes
There's a difference I don't think you seem to understand.
And about the citizens, why do you think I have so much in there about revamping the country internally? It isn't for nothing, its to get the people more involved in the fight for freedom and greatness!
this is calle😛 serbian-indonesia coalition xD
so finnaly you admit ardiserbutaro... so when we will approve the serb-jpn mpp(?) as we're serbian puppets this is not a problem, right? 😃
finally*
and by the way, i don't want to use nationality to attack the candidate. well, you know why
A foreigner as a prime minister...what happened to eJapan?
So is Squibeel lol. He's Portuguese irl; don't worry, I don't really care tho 😛.
Btw I'm a lifetime ejapanese citizen never left this place hah.
Mmmm...
Geezus is rl Japanese. Just like Natsu. And Squibeel. And Ardishabutaro. And Ceda. And Oraizan. And Hizaya.
All those japanese all around.
Get the point?
Do not play on rl nationality card if you don't know about what are you talking.
Neeeeext!
Irl I'm a New Yorker and a Natural Born Jewish American btw, just so that's clear (and if anyone didn't know)
Turt037 you really make it hard on someone who doesnt have your photoshop skills.....
Ask zodiarque 😉.
Different styles and abilities.
Onii-chama is right 😁 I'm not really skilled in Photoshoping, I used it only to color my drawings before I got ペイントツールSAI.

PM me and i'll give you Elveon's contact...

good luck
Ahava, it's time for changes and you can do it 🙂
I don't get why some parts of the populace are so afraid of the change. CoT is not the begining nor the end of everything.
If we don't get a proper support for the liberation in the following month(s) we should definitely consider other options.
There are some of us who have been around a long time, seen the corruption, destruction, betrayal, and also the rise of eJapan out of the ashes... more than once. ahava has been eJapanese this whole time.
She is dedicated to this country... not in just words, but action. I think she can definitely benefit our country and put it back on course. She does have the experience to do so. She has always been a watchdog, broadcasting injustice, misrepresentation, and also the good things that are happening.
I welcome her.
eJapan is not made of eJapanese. We are a melting pot of different egroups, peoples, as well as RL nationalities, races, and ethnicities. Really, one of the most special aspects of eJapan for me. I can talk to people around the world, not only within my own country, but my MU and Party as well.
Here in eJapan, we are all eJapanese. Yes, there are those who have self interest in mind, and those that have malichous intentions...
BUT
We CAN overcome that by creating a transparent Government that actively involves all citizens.
I believe ahava wants to do that.
As far as coalition? I am in favor of CoT. We need our country back. We need to determine our best place that provides the durability of our sovereignty. I think ahava is unbiased, realistic, and willing to do a close evaluation of what is best for eJapan, without self interest.
This is not a serbian coalition, or a serbian/indonesian as Ardishabutaro posted sarcastically...
It is several groups of eJapanese citizens who want something better.
I think we should give her a chance to see what she can do.
LOL eJapan is not make of eJapanese... rather eJapan is not made of RL Japanese.
forgive the typo.
-Auraborus blushes_
If you really plan to leave CoT it is a big mistake. There is no alternative as long Taiwan is TWO.
Intend to leave CoT.
No
Intend to discuss CoT, and then possibly stay or leave,
Yes
I mean what I write and am not hiding anything or any hidden motive. But you are wrong on the second point, there are alternatives.
Remaining unaffiliated
NaN
ex-EDEN
etc
Big alliances aren't the only option, if anything, they might be hindering us as their leadership has different priorities than we do.
I don't really get it, we are currently occupied by a proTWO country, we have a neighbor which loves to bully us. How do you plan on getting back our regions and defending them without the assistance of strong allies which is possible only within the structure of a big alliance.
Our position with CoT actually isn't the best right now. Squibeel was just kicked out as aMC believe it or not due to a technological malfunction keeping him offline (phone and pc) and we're actually having trouble getting CoT to agree to help us.
As I said, we'll see how things turn out, but all needs to be on the table.
It's actually not aMC but MC. Which is basically MoD of CoT.
Even more so then :3, not just an assistant.
We lost our big man in CoT leadership. Technology sucks...and I have to fix it everyday in my rl job, hah.
Funzies.
I've always been a CoT proponent.
I also think we need continuous evaluation.
meh.. Transparency.. such a silly word.. just like unity..
Hail WOLF!
Too much Serbian.
Best Wishes
