--Private-- "And I thought the countries in Europe were mad..."

With the election of Kaede Asakura as premier of Nagase, the new nation is now pursuing diplomatic treaties, economic, defensive, and military, with any Western European nation. In his first military action, Asakura has organized the Nagaese Military into divisions. Currently, there are 2,700 full-time soldiers in the Nagaese military, with 540 soldiers in each of five divisions. Another 150 soldiers are committed to the newly formed "Knight Brigade" who are tasked with the defense of government officials and Asakura himself. The Knights Brigade also act as a Special Forces unit. The government of Nagase has been solidified in its current form. Kaede Asakura has the ultimate word in the government as the premier, while four Directors, of Foreign Affairs; Internal Affairs; Finances and Resources; and Military, will aid him in managing the nation. There is also a Cabinet of fifty representatives of each of the five provinces, including the capital province of Monryojo. The Cabinet has the ability to vote on decisions made by Asakura and his Directors. Four of these representatives, one to each province, is the governor of their province (Asakura is considered the governor of Monryojo) --Private-- Across the borders of the nation, small, primitive radar systems are being installed. The range of these systems is about 200 km (~125 miles). The installation is expected to be completed within the month (OOC: I assume that the RP time is faster than RL time, so a few RL days) OOC: Feel free to comment or ask about any of these IC

OOC: Vikings in Asia? But anyways, I'm better at making names sound Japanese than German or English. And for some reason I can't see the updated poll results--not that it matters at this point anyway

OOC: Fetish? Nah, it's just that my ingame nation's ethnicity is Japanese.

Having recently won the Nagaese Elections, and after deliberating on the matter, Kaede Asakura believes joining the WEU would further our agenda of improving Europe. Thus, Nagase wishes to apply for membership of the WEU.

[b]Elections are over![/b] The elections have ended after a very strange process. In the end, promises of a prosperous Europe and a quickly-developing Nagase seem to have won Kaede Asakura and his United Europe Party the victory. The end result was as follows: Asakura: 31% Misaki: 30% Dera: 20% Dengeki: 19% Asakura barely defeated Misaki, who in a surprising move will remain as Director of Foreign Affairs and Holdings. "Thank you all for your support throughout this," Asakura said in an inauguration speech before innumerable cheering citizens. "Together we will bring Nagase to the world stage, and do our part to create a prosperous and united Europe." Asakura's first moves as premier have yet to be seen. "Whatever the people of Nagase decide is what I will do my best to support," runner-up Yuki Misaki commented. "Even if it goes against my personal desires, if it is the wish of my people, I will support Asakura and his plans with all my heart." Third placer Kuriyami Dera and Sasaki Dengeki refused to comment. OOC: Sorry if I ended this early, but I wanted to get it over with so I could start getting involved in world politics.

In such a short time, the expected turnout of the elections has changed drastically. With another wave of votes in, numbers have risen unexpectedly. The percentages stand now at this: Kaede Asakura: 30% Yuki Misaki: 30% Kiriyami Dera: 24% Sasaki Dengeki: 16% Asakura and Misaki are now tied for the lead, while Dera has garnered more votes for himself. Dengeki, on the other hand, has had no increase in votes--in fact, a decrease. The tie between Asakura and Misaki is heavily debated by experts, but the general agreement is that both are capable and qualified. Voting is reaching its end, as the last of Nagase's small population prepares to cast its vote. This is a tense moment already in the young nation's fledgling politics. The entire nation is on edge to hear who will be the person to lead Nagase onto the world stage.

[b]Update-Election Status[/b] The elections have been going on for a few days now, and the results as of this point are as follows: Kaede Asakura: 29% Yuki Misaki: 32% Kiriyami Dera: 20% Sasaki Dengeki: 19% In an unexpected turn of events, Yuki Misaki and her Nationalist Party appear to be in the lead, whereas experts had expected Asakura to be leading, with Misaki very close behind--it seems that it has been completely switched. However, it is not too late for Asakura to take the lead, as voters continue to cast their vote. As for Dera and Dengeki, experts have voiced doubt that either will be able to wrench the lead from Misaki. "It seems clear to me that Misaki simply has a better plan for the country," says political analyst Kanazawa Michiru. "Her stance will bring prosperity to Nagase, which is what our fledgling nation needs most right now." Several other experts have disagreed, however. "Asakura is able to look beyond the nation and at the whole of Europe," counters expert Kuroe Yuji. "He has ideas for all of Europe, historically a war-broiled continent. If prosperity is desired for Nagase, we have to work at achieving prosperity for all of Europe, not just ourselves." Indeed, Asakura seemed to reaffirm this point in an election speech given to thousands of supporters in the capital. "If we want to improve our nation, we must work with others to improve Europe," he called as supporters roared with approval. "As has been proven many times in history, a country cannot prosper if around its borders is war and poverty."

[quote name='King Penchuk' date='01 April 2010 - 08:17 AM' timestamp='1270131444' post='2243687'] Scotland is proud to see stability return to this nation and see it independent once more. Should Nagase need any assistance from the Kingdom of Scotland, all they must do is ask. We also welcome you to apply to join the Western European Union, should you feel so inclined. [/quote] We thank Scotland for its help and offer to join. Since we do not yet have a single leader, and are still establishing ourselves, we must put off applying to any pacts or treaties. However, after elections, we will certainly consider the Union.

The former IP protectorate in Spain, with permission from the IP, hereby declares itself the nation of Nagase, an independent and autonomous entity. Elections in the nation will be taking place soon.
