The eJapanese History (Part 4)
Hitoyoshi
Sugawara Michizane was a new player during the rise of BDS - Black Dragon Society, which is essentially the organization that counteracted the growing problem of FoH supremacy in the nation. They were rivals for control of Japan, and were led majorly by the Imperial Sun Party (now the DNP). Headed by Danyeo, other members included Darshu, KITA Ikki, and a number of other like minded politicians from the old era. In fact, it's difficult to know just who was involved in the organization due to how secret it was. Fact of the matter was, in order to get anywhere in Japan during that period you needed to pick a side: BDS or FoH.
Sugawara came at the height of Danyeo's power, and quickly figured out that to involve himself in politics he would need to take a side. He was a smart and a very capable politician. He was also very short-sighted and too trusting. Majority of his career was spent as the Minister of Health, and he was very in tune with the public sentiment towards the ruling powers. Over time he became detached however, apathetic to the citizens of Japan due to his consistent hold of power in the Japanese government. However, his downfall began when he unwittingly revealed the identity of BDS to Nowe; explaining their clever use of multi-accounts, subtle trafficking of Hungarian operatives into Japan, and boasting of holding power over the Emperor of Japan, Kokawayoshi Makoto.
Nowe's revelation of these things in depth to the Japanese media was met with critical backlash. The article exposing them was quickly mass reported until it was deleted, and Nowe himself came under fire from Danyeo who publicly accused and shamed him of managing multi-accounts. After this incident, Sugawara Michizane was heavily slammed by BDS and banned from their private channel, demoted from his position as Minister of Health, and shunned by the then current ruling elite.
With this occurring after Sugawara had already been a President of Japan twice, his influence was not as easily dismissed as Danyeo would have hoped. Using his influence as the former Minister of Health and President of Japan, Sugawara would reach out to the countless new citizens of the nation he had raised using the MoH program (or so we are led to believe). Many people expected Danyeo to win the elections of November 2010, and equally many were surprised that Sugawara had managed to pull a victory over the man who was then perceived as the face of the Imperial Sun Party. Otherwise, September 15, Japan decided to leave Brolliance.
His victory was short lived however, as on November 11th, 2010 Sugawara would be impeached by Danyeo and his supporters, which in turn would put Danyeo at the helm as President and keeping the ISP in control. It can be said that from the beginning of their falling out Sugawara did indeed have connections with the Indonesians (so perhaps they did assist him in one upping Danyeo), and they looked on him favorably. So in December 2010 when the Indonesians put out their PTO candidate Calon Rakyat Jelata, Sugawara Michizane agreed to support the Indonesians out of spite for ISP/BDS.
So while he is not technically a PTO for Indonesia, his support for the Indonesian PTO candidate has been smeared into history due to his bitter engagements with the ruling class of the Imperial Sun Party.
It is unknown to the public however, that Sugawara would attempt to reconcile with the nation of Japan during Nowe's presidency. On seeing the growing tensions between Japan and the Republic of China (Taiwan), Sugawara would donate his life savings of 90,000 JPY to the government of Japan - which would in turn be used by Alfred Ball to fund the numerous tanks and military units participating in the war that would erupt. After this incident, Sugawara would quit the game quietly after enjoying an eventful life.

The choice of a new alliance
Terra was created around mid December 2010 and at the time was called PANAM. Brazil and Argentina had withdrawn their membership from the PHOENIX alliance in the previous weeks. This freed both countries up to begin discussing a possible alliance with the USA. Brazil and the USA were the first to solidify the alliance with the signing of a Mutual Protection Pact, which shortly thereafter was cemented by the joining of Argentinian, thus giving rise to the Pan-American flavor of the alliance.
However, not long after, additional countries expressed interest in joining and this would lead to it becoming a global phenomenon. Japan was the first nation outside of the Americas to join PANAM in January 2011. Later in the month, Canada would also become a signatory. France, the first European country to enter the alliance, did so in the first week of February. Shortly thereafter Turkey became a signer on February 8, 2011 and Russia entered on February 22, 2011. The United Kingdom entered the alliance on February 24, 2011.
On March 20, 2011 the PANAM alliance was officially renamed to Terra, with officials citing a desire to move past its American roots and establish itself as a global alliance made up of countries fed up with the then current two-alliance system. To this end, Terra decided to pursue friendship and cooperation with EDEN in order to combat the growing ONE threat.
Support for South Korea
A group of Romanian PTOers (FSR) took power in South Korea on February 5. The Korean community therefore sought help from Japan to get rid of. eJapan had tried to help to free eSouth Korea but we saw that we were too weak for help them and Romanians with Alfagrem had enough strength for erase us. So Japanese have pray for eSK to have a babyboom for expulse Romanians of their eCountry. After the fail of Japon to invade South Korea, they attacked Japan and took some regions. In March 2010, a peace is signed between Japan and South Korea. eSK finally succeeds and took the control of their country but most of Romanians stay in it. When eSK was free, there was a great friendship between our 2 countries and we have done fake wars for the NE bonus.
Conflict of interest with TERRA
Since June 2011, Japan was in conflict with China (EDEN). Indeed, China has taken parts of Kyushu and Chugoku for bonuses. While Japan was still with TERRA, they began to join forces with EDEN. Japan being open conflict with China, it caused a conflict of interest and tensions within the alliance.
During July 2011, Brazil passes a motion in the alliance to eject Japan from the alliance. This comes after Japan lets Hungary through to attack China, in response to Chinese (EDEN nation) aggression (invasion of Japan) and violation of a forced rental agreement in which China tried to use Japan as a meat-shield against Hungary by RWing chinese-held Kyushu. It is noted that during the initial Chinese invasion and afterwards, Japan did not have much Terra support, and thus began signing MPP's with non-Terra nations such as Turkey, and the UK.
In August 2011, Japan regained its entire country after the recovery of areas under Hungarian control. But in September 2011, Canada has attacked Japan for obtain one resource but they have failed because South Korea has helped us and has blocked the invasion. During this time, we have received no help from eTaiwan because they tried to take the control of Philippines. Canada finally abandoned because they should declare war to South Korea and they have changed their priorities. Due to help of South Korea, eJapan continued to be free. In December 2011, the TW, started in October, is over with South Korea because South Korea is invaded by Taiwan and China.

I wonder anything about Sakurakai will be spoken or not... Voted. o7
Most of these articles was copy and paste from erepublik wiki. But we did not write about Sakurakai to wiki.
Unfortunately, there are only the beginning of the japanese history on the wiki (2008-2009) and the 2nd war against SK (in the 3rd article). My job is to find the others informations to update our wiki page with this informations that I publish here.
I think you could find some articles of interest regarding FSR-Japan on my wiki. I think I added one which should be featured here.
I start a page about Sakurakai.

You got to love the propaganda of that time 😁
Aye so good
I born in August 2010, and been active in Februari 2011-now

As for the rest awesome as always, it's seems to me that the past of eJapan was more intresting than the present xD
Major Hughes was the avatar pic of Michizane.

That's cool to see that my old articles can be still useful 😉
D'ailleurs j'ai oublié de mettre la source, merci de me le rappeler 😁
Voted! I cant wait for the next article
You forgot to add some small parts but it's ok, I remember these events like they were yesterday. I may be a little biased, by the way.
(China vs Japan incident) It was because of Alfred Ball and his group's decision to attack North Korea's Hamgyong region with heavy propaganda and (Unit 731 avatars) that angered China. Thus, giving China and their puppet country(North Korea) the casus belli to attack us from both North(NKorea) and South(China) and may I add if this event had never happened, we would be VERY different country right now. We used to be very closed and ignored from the outside world. After that, the Chinese pretty much hated us and we hated them but we were able to come to a compromise (the rental agreement!). Yes the Chinese did try to us as a meat shield but I also remember some phrases in irc such as (payback is a b**ch) being thrown around and we willingly let Hungary pass for revenge. After that, EDEN and Terra hated us and gladly showed us the door. And that's when sh*t between ROC and eSK started to happen.
Rewinding into early 2011, eJapan, RL Korean community, and ROC had a common goal. To get the Romanian PTO'ers out of eAsia. So, we put that friendship into action and invaded the sh*t out of eSK together (it wasn't a failed invasion btw) It went pretty well. The reason why eSK retaliated so well against us was because of help from eRumania(which they continued to deny) and from Alfagramm(who hated eJapan because of Danyeo, Alfred, Fruit, TRSV ect). Eventually, we ended up winning and a babyboom in eSK happened thus allowing the Koreans to regain their country. But things went sour when ROC and eSK's rental agreement went very wrong(I can't remember how but I do remember accusations on both sides). First let me say by this time, eSK had denounced EDEN because of their hate for FSR which grew into a hate for eRumanian(a strong EDEN figure at the time). After that, the events with China, eJapan and Hungary had which subsequently put eJapan on
Written well, you should become co-history director xD
EDEN and Terra's blacklist(not literally but they didn't like us very well). So, after the trade agreement between ROC and eSK went wrong, this led into war, a war which the eJapanese decided to support eSK(This choice would be the reason why we'd end up wiped and hated by the Taiwanese for such a long time). Eventually, the war ended and resulted in eSK being wiped a for a while. They managed to free themselves just in time for the lulzy failed invasion of Canada. After the mounties and sea lion murderers were pushed by to their homeland, another incident between ROC and eSK happened. This time the eJapanese had openly supported the eSouth Koreans and did we pay the ultimate price for that huehuehue... 🙁. By this time both eSK and eJP we great allies and we weren't exactly in EDEN/Terra sphere like our other two lovely neighbors were, this gave eROC a nice justification to not only wipe eSouth Korea for whatever had happened but to also wiped eJapan for being a "danger to eROC" because the big mighty eJapan was capable of doing so much to disrupt the peace and health of eROC, but then again this is a war game. After that we were wiped for a long ass time and I'll leave the rest to part 5 of your series.
Also just a random lol, when Sugiwara became CP, he changed his avatar to Major Hughes with an evil smirk and a Phoenix emblem in the upper left corner. I lol'd so hard that day.
you really follow the eJapan conditions even you are outside of eJapan?
さすが rice
I have reports on almost every country around these times. Knowledge, understanding, and curiosity has no limits.
But yes, I did follow eJapan the most as I was somewhat connected to this ecountry(probably because I was eborn in it)
back then, you, leks09 (CMIIW), and one more ppl (sampz, ah i forget the 3rd one) out from eJP (causing trolled by Alfred gank, maybe?), and i hear a shout from another people say that you three will re-united again in eJP. How are they doing now?
False shout, I only play this game to comment, train, fight. Tell me who shouted that so I can give.....hopefully her.....a good spanking.
