What do you guys think?

I understand that you don't want to marginalize the minorities, so you probably don't want to forcefully suppress their language either. Still there are a lot of policy options. For example; your nation could support minority languages and encourage lingual pluralism. In this case, there would be laws mandating or encouraging the use of multiple languages where it is practical. Although, if you want to support the slow merging of cultures you would want one universal script, even if it other scripts are still used. If there are Korean and Japanese irredentists, you might want to encourage the Korean and Japanese citizens to learn their languages in your national script, in order to put a divide between them and Japanese and Koreans of other nations.

The Chieftain King looks out from the top of his house on the coast. He sees a ship approach over the horizon - something his people do not have. "They are arriving Sava." he says to his young wife. "And will you go with them?" she asks. "Perhaps. My grandfather was the last of my line who set foot within the great halls of the walled city. I shall be the next." he whispers solemnly. The moon is setting over the coast and dipping into the ocean, painting the waves a silver and blue, and lighting the ship on the horizon with its white soft glow. "Let us sleep. Tomorrow - then we will talk about this change." she says. Then they return into the hut. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
I want to RP a peaceful country of lots of harmony, but everyone wants me to be in wars and whatnot. What do I do?

It is hard to do peace and lot of harmony. Plot comes from conflict, still that can be done.
Part of it is finding the right people to play with. Also, instead of wars, your nation could host festivals or social events like balls.

There's also exploration - and there's a lot of variants on exploration. Disaster RP can be fun as well - peace akd harmony can be good at helping people or a good place to tell stories of people who need help. If you have a mind for it there's also research and development. New technologies, ideas... and yes, I love a good party.
You can also play outliers. Smaller cultures tend towards a strong monoculture but there are still those who find themselves outside the norm. But even these could be an opportunity to put your culture on display - the mercenaries who carry candy in their pockets and make dead sure that they are only killing the bad guys at the possible expense of their own lives.

Depends. I've repeatedly enjoyed the method employed by the 'Ocean's' series of films where we see everything laid out until we get to the crime itself and then arrive at the twist - where the real objective of all that planning ajd execution is revealed. To do something like that right - to make it a caper - you'd need to make sure everything was planned in detail and then 'write in' the twist by leaving out the detail that all the planning was done as a dummy event, for instance. Or you could mix things up by not having a twist at all, but that could dip too much into arrogance.
There's always the flashback - tell the beginning of the story from nearly the end. Are you planning this to be a RP or a stand-alone story?
