Kingdoms and Colonies RPers ONLY!
A Note
You will have read in the Emperor's letter to focus on a particular aspect or two that your nation specialises in, as well as bringing technology for the economic and political modernisation of Japan also. I am aware that more than one nation will specialise in the army, or navy, etc. As no-one's tech is allaround outright better than anyone else's, it would be best if you could focus on a particular aspect or two that makes your technology good. Do your muskets have a design that allows them to be reloaded faster? Are they more accurate because of the barrel design? Are your soldiers particularly well disciplined or loyal? Do you have a good supply system to combat attrition? The list goes on. The point is, don't just describe your weaponry/tech as generally amazing, specify what about it is good.
We're going to start the conference straight away. The agenda has been explained to each delegation and each has been shown their accommodation. The conference has been divided into a numer of 'exhibits'. In each exhibit, delegations will provide demonstrations of their technology while explaining how each works. This is more for show and to make this bit of the RP interesting: the delegations will later go off with a group of Japanese workers and the like to discuss how the nation will be modernised, which will all be done behind the scenes.
After a day's rest, the delegations have been invited out, first to display the prowess of their land forces.
