I meant that she would be a former Yamatai spy on the PRK and that she changed allegiances and started working for us instead. Which could be grounds for some diplomatic tension.


Ohh... Sorry I didn't get it before. Sure, that can happen but can I ask how and why a Yamatai spy became an intelligence for the PRK? Just due to ideology? Since if so, I'm wondering how she was picked up as a spy in the first place, most nations tend to recruit spies loyal to the state and its ideals.

On another note, keep her as far away from Yamatai as possible. There's a very high chance her transport might get ambushed by "criminals and outlaws" if she was to return anywhere near home XD
Full-blooded, most of the foreign people in my country are there because of fleeing whatever authoritarian regime and because of being communist. I presume she was one of the few communists in Yamatai and left the country to join the PRK'S cause, or alternatively she could be a turncoat Yamatai spy if you'd be okay with that, to spice things up


That'd be interesting, but I fear that might be powerplaying on part to have a spy in a high place in a foreign nation. If you can't tell, I try really hard to prevent myself from powerplaying although it has limited amounts of success at times.

My nation has almost no real diversity or immigrants

...admittedly, that does speak volumes about how it's just a shitty place to live.


Welcome to the club mate

@MihndarNoted. I'm not really remembering stuff in most of RPs atm since I have finals in less than a week plus a whole shitstorm of things for the summer so don't expect me to be too keen on remembering what is happening most of the time. (I've already stated I'll actually start doing things with Yamatai in a few months if this is still alive. I'll probably start a world war for the hell of it XD)

Although can I ask, is she full blooded or half-blooded? Most Yamatai people wouldn't leave the home land mostly due to the propoganda of most other people being "dirty gaijins" and since they've been isolationists for like the last century XD
@MihndarOn another note of your "harmless communism", I'm almost surprised you haven't made the Soviet March your national anthem X3
<Snipped quote by Hael>

*twiddle thumbs and pretends to be a harmless communist state*


Harmless and Communist in the same sentence? IMPOSIBLE

1)We all know Communists aren't the nicest people

2)How can you spread the revolution if you are harmless?

Wow, I just realized I was Japan.

Small area, highly populated, industrialized, allied to the Nazi/Tin, good navy, KalMea is basically an island

But, yeah, Tin will no doubT prove to be a big trouble maker, but I think our resident Fascist Monarchy, Eisenkries, is a worse problem


Dammit, I wanted to claim Japan lol XD

National Name:
Yamatihai Bokura no Hastuni (Imperial Realm of Yamatai.)



National History:

WIP

Race:

Tall and well-built, the people of Yamatai range from fair skin to slightly tanned. The most common hair color is black and other darker shades of brown and grey with streaks of dark violet, navy blue or crimson also being common. Black and brown eyes are common with violet, while uncommon, is not unheard of. They often mess up foreign languages but are a fairly reserved and modest culture although can become very aggressive and war-like if riled up sufficiently, which at the current time they are.

Government

The government is headed by a Emperor who the eldest child in the Imperial Family, who claims a lineage starting with the gods. This results in girls occasionally taking the throne. The Emperor's word is final in most cases with hims having the ultimate authority. However, the Emperor is not always "on duty" thus most of the time domestic cases are handled by the Imperial Court which consists of officials from the various "domains" of the Realm.

The biggest policies of the current government is isolationism, industrialism, nationalism that stress the conduct of Ancient Yamatai, having even changed the national anthem to reflect that. Propoganda is a very common thing, almost as common as breathing in some cases, however it works as Yamatai is a homogenous population, mostly consisting of humans who are 98% of the population. With Yamatai starting to become more aggressive, it seems that isolationism will soon break away and turn into expansionism and nationalism will become jingoism.

Religion

Inshingu is the main religion of Yamatai and it is based on the idea that various gods created the world and will appear in front of mortal from time to time based on what that person has done and will receive treatment equal to that. Good people will be blessed with good fortune, bad people be cursed with back fortune, that kind of thing. The Imperial Family claims direct decedent from the King of the Inshingu Gods "Amaburi" with some nobles claiming blood ties to lesser gods. Otherwise, the faith is very close to that of Shintoism.

Economy

Of recent, Yamatai effectively isolated itself from the outside with very little outside trade. It keeps everyone fed and supplied through a strict rationing system. The idea of currency is not heavily embraced because of this but the nation uses coins heavily as currency called "Jin", coming in 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, and 10,000 pieces. Less valuable pieces are made of poor quality steel that did not pass the grade required for military standard while more valuable pieces are made of silver and gold. To an outsider, it may seem that Yamatai is in heavy inflation, with things often costing in the hundreds or thousands. This is not the case, Yamatai simply uses large marks for a reason that translates to something like "because we can."

Also due to the push to rapidly develop their military, civilian goods that are not part of the rationing system are often in short supply, with most civilian and light industry converted into heavy, military industry. Same thing goes with research, things that can be directly used in the military are pushed while other research tends to be pushed aside. Both research and industry which is found to be "useful" is subsidized with other, unsubsidized industries told to go and make money.

Tariffs on foreign goods are incredibly high. as part of Yamatai's isolationism. Forgien business are shunned away from trying to set up shop in Yamatai even though it has cheap labor. Refineries, mines, mills and foundries are the most common type of industry, having to pay less taxes and recive more subsideis than other industries.

Rare Resource

Sakurite - A heavy, dense mineral with pink complexion and a very explosive tendency with it often exploding if hit with a pickaxe or something at high velocity, having to be mined with things like chisels or even having to shave it. There are many ways and grade of refining it, some making it more stable, but less useful since it doesn't explode as easily, and other make it even more dangerous, having to be transported in thick-armored trucks.. It is heavily used as an explosive component in things like shells and larger explosive. While it can generate huge amounts of power, it requires a process similar to nuclear fusion, but since that technology hasn't been really researched, Sakurite is still only used as an explosive. People say it also works well as seasoning.

Technology

Yamatai's technology is sort of a very rapidly moderninzing and attempting to surpass other nation's, almost like a Great Leap Forward that works. People are encouraged to work in the industrial feilds or go straight to military. Anything military related can be considered advanced but civilian industries lag behind, being realtively poorer and less sucessful than heavy industry.

Attempting to learn from past mistakes, the government carefully assigns the best educated people into posistion where they thinkg their scinetific knowledge will be best used. Foreign advisors are often hired to further advance their cause. Science was once a feared and hated occupation, but now it seems to be reserved, science only second to military.

Summary: Yamatai's military industry is booming as is their military science but their civilian and light industry suffers due to lack of support.

Military

The Yamatai Military heavily stresses honor and loyalty with its troops, heavily indoctrinating them so they will fight to the death saying "death is only feared by the weak". The branches of the military are the Imperial Yamatai Army (IYA) consisting of all ground forces and the Imperial Yamatai Navy (IYN); the air force is divided between the two of them but for official purposes is called the Imperial Yamatai Air Control (IYAC).

Yamatai's military excels at machine guns/AA guns and shells, having it been a huge focus after a humiliating defeat by the hands of the Yllendthyr Air Force. Overall, many weapons are well balanced with a focus on easy creation and cleaning but are also multi-use, able to take many role should the need arise. Yamatai's artillery, mortar and naval shells are unique in that they utilize naturally explosive Sakurite instead of gunpowder or other explosives. Depending on how it is refined/packed, it can have anywhere between a 30% to 60% larger blast than conventional explosives.

Standard troops will have six months of normal training and indoctrination plus that and additional two months of specialized training should they choose to pick a specialized role. It should be noted that they are given the choice to do so three month into their training so the last three months of normal training blends standard stuff with the basics of the role they picked.

Elite Infantry go through anywhere between a year to a year and a half of brutal training in the harshest locations. JSOIF units are heavily guarded in shadows with very little ever brought to light, even their training is kept a secret from all but the top brass.

Officers are hand picked from normal troops which show good aptitude of tactical sense and troop management who have served for at least year. From that they undergo five months of tactics and strategy with another three months of logistic and army management.

Yamatai infantry is meant to be versatile, able to take on many roles and are trained as such. However, just because a sniper can use a machine gun doesn't mean that he'll use it as well as a trained machine gunner. Armor wise has a similar notation of multi-use, namely in the lighter armored vehicles, while heavier vehicles are more in the "shock and awe" label. Yamatai doesn't use any larger airships or blimps of the sort, using only aircraft that are fast and maneuverable. This means that they tend to be light on armor and heavier aircraft have touchy engines.
