I don't see why not.

Frankly, I'm scared not to. I'm stating to think Assad might be a dark wizard anyways.

The Commonwealth of England. Totalitarian Surveillance State that's actually pretty progressive if you're not a political undesirable.

Tag. I'm considering playing either an African or East Asian country or a more populist Spain. It's tempting to try to bring a non socialist party to power in Spain but it's also tempting to try to improve a less developed nation...

Like I said, no reason for a major European power to start looking at Japan at the moment.

If anything, I'd think you'd be more concerned about the Chi-Coms right now.

I'm leaning yes, but I'd like a second opinion.

Character Position: Prime Minister
Character Name: Marcos Torrero
Flag of your nation: Link
One paragraph history of your country, faction, or unit: Spain saw itself transitioning from a former fascist nation to a leftist nation, swinging to the left in reaction to formerly being so far to the right wing. By the time the 2010s came, most of the leading parties were socialistic in nature and the left wing was the dominant one in Spanish politics. However, the nation would soon see another political swing in reaction to the last one. In 2011, the economy crashed completely and the resulting riots and protests showed that the nation was losing faith in democratic socialism. This saw the party Spanish Alternative form and rise in popularity, running on the platform of free trade, traditionalism, and anti-immigration. 46 year old Marcos Torrero dominated the policy of this party and was the leader of it until the 2015 general election, when he became Prime Minister of Spain for his promises to continue improving the economy. In that same election, Spanish Alternative took several key cities and formed a coalition with the People's Party to gain a majority in the Congress and Senate. In early 2016, the Cortes Generales voted to officially make the full switch from monarchy to republicanism, centralizing even more influence into the position of Prime Minister and letting the new PM make an instant impact. More recently, the nation has been shifting towards being more fiscally conservative, and now Spanish Alternative is pushing for it to become more socially conservative too.

One paragraph history of your character: Marcos Torrero is a Spanish nationalist from Valencia that had little political experience before getting involved in the right wing movement and rising to the position of a major leader by the time the 2011 economic collapse hit the country. It's not that Torrero is an excellent diplomat or even someone especially smart, but the younger than average politician got to where he is because of being effective at using the modern tools that are available: social media and the internet media. Torrero has been described as an 'outspoken memelord who shitposted his way into the role of a major party leader', and has also been described as a controversial loose cannon who isn't afraid to take big risks for big gains. In reality, he's simply ambitious and less willing to do what others expect of him than other leaders.

So, here's the thing, dude.

Hapan being a larger global power isn't really my issue here. It's the fact that you're literally already mobilizing your entire military in a single post, which is a borderline one-liner, and the fact that you're going to be running a global power without a handicap.

Generally, an unwritten rule has been that major world powers each have some kind of handicap to prevent a Chinese or Russian or American hegemony, etc.

If you're going to go this route, then more effort on the posts is needed, and you need some kind of handicap. Political strife, terrorism, anything really. Just something keeping you from wantonly invading other nations.

Take this as a very soft warning. I'd like to see what you have to bring to the table, but it needs a bit more meat and thought than this.

If I recall Japan has a limit placed on its army size from WW2, mainly in that it can't have one. Just a defense force with the US being its army. I'm not sure of the numbers but I'm sure 500,000 soldiers is over it. Your first steps ought to be appealing to the international community to repeal the limit.
