Responsibilities: To serve as Their Imperial Majesty's voice within the World Assembly and report any developments heretofore unknown to those bodies of government which shall be required, by law, to debate, consider, and respond to the aforesaid developments.
Interests: Dr. Samurakami (as he likes to be referred to when not in formal settings) is intensely interested in all facets of political policy at every governmental level and is an avid fan of the Hinata Hayabusa (the local professional gridiron team). As befits his life as a soldier, scholar, ambassador, and leader of over one billion souls, he has a gift for tongues and enjoys immersing himself in new cultures (particularly the food and drink).
Behavior: Quiet and introspective, Dr. Samurakami is invariably polite in every situation. However, he does have a temper that can be provoked if the right buttons are pushed hard enough for a lengthy period of time.
Once Said (to a Member of the House of the People): "Sir, contrary to what some philosophers will have you believe, perception is not reality. The physical laws of nature are reality. A building cannot be in two places at once. A government cannot print twice a many Imperial Dollars as the year before without consequence unless economic output has doubled. A nation cannot be a monarchy and communist. A politician cannot claim to have a strong national security agenda while proposing to slash his nation's fleet to levels beneath which it cannot but fail to meet its responsibilities. Everything I have observed about you, sir, is exactly the opposite of what you claimed to be when you ran for office and today you have crossed the line from amusing to frankly contemptible. Cease your inane prattling and sit down before I put before this chamber a Motion of Censure and Eviction."
