1) No declarations of war. This is a diplomatic thread meant to follow a controversy sparked by few of the Shogun's words. If you want to RP a war with me (which, by the way, will never include a casus beli being few of the Shogun's words, because that's an utter nonsense) - PM me and we shall set something up if I have time and eagerness to RP that.

KOJIRO-SAMA DELIVERS A SPEECH REGARDING DIVERSITY!Ishikawa, Nifon - on today's meeting of the Nifonese Political Forum, Kojiro-sama delivered a speech that is bound to cause massive controversy. Openly attacking the notion that diversity is a beneficial thing for a society and stating that Nifonese ethno-nationalism should be a bedrock of his political actions, Kojiro-sama declared that Nifon shall never surrender it's national sovereignty and will actively protect it's borders from all who are bound to break it.
The statement is sure not to be positively received by the international leftery; however, Kojiro-sama openly stated that he will not bow to any pressure that shall be imposed upon him.
The speech shall be broadcast shortly.
More to come later!@INN | Nifon | COMMENT
To all honorable people around the world;,
I, Maki Kojiro, Shogun of the Empire of Greater Nifon am addressing this message to be seen by the entire world, but especially by my dearest sons and daughters of the Admiral Yu, thanks to whose voyage the Nifonese state exists today. I chose to make this address because my heart feels truly moved by how various groups of special interests are pressuring the Nifonese people to reject their natural borders and permit their country to be flooded with endless regions of gaijin who want to profit from the fact that we had a chance to industrialize earlier than they did. Many lands of the gaijin, especially those bombarded with Minpon ideology, seem to be undergoing intense bombardment with foreign cultures and ideologies. This leads to race riots, ethnic riots, domestic instability and numerous acts of terrorism.
It is sufficient to say that the Empire of Greater Nifon shall not follow this path. We have seen it, we have seen it's consequences - and we shall not follow the gaijin down on this path.
Many people throughout history have blamed "others" for the problems. The Almurtan gaijin proclaims that Muslims are the problem. That is not so - I have met Hiwari-san personally, I have conversed with him; and I have a Hui Muslim from Wenchuan working on an important post within my administration. The Nazi will go to proclaim on how Jews are the problem. That is not so - for there are many virtuous Jews I have met in my life. Someone other will point out that problem is nation X. I need to reject all those false and disgusting notions. As follower of Tenshu and adherent to Krishtou-kyo, I can not, with a clear conscience, hate another human being. And that is why I see the real root of the problem.
The problem is not a group X. Not Y. Not Jews. Not blacks. Not Muslims, Araveans, Lilluputans, Martians or any other of mentioned groups. The problem - is diversity itself.
I believe in the old Tenrigakist idea that Dao generates virtue; virtue generates law. In Tenrigakist theology "Dao" refers to whom the followers of Krishtou-kyo call "God" or "The Lord of Heaven". As such, basing myself upon his teachings we can clearly see that the first cause marked land for every group; the land on which it lived was to be respected. Human beings were told to separate and disperse. This glorious order of the Tenshu gave us today the world we know it; with myriad of cultures and peoples that differ from each other. The cultures, however, are different. A while ago Nifonese Medical Society organized a research about pain response in different cultures. It turned out that Riysan Muslims, the Nifonese, Araveans, Jews or Hindus from Vishpanyar react to pain in completely different ways. If even within this context those cultures are so different; then how do we expect them to get along in greater matters?
From those distinctions arise the conflicts. One just hast to see how recently we witnessed an outright civil war in Oceanica between descendants of our kinsmen whom the colonialists imported to work; and the black - skinned people imported for the same purpose. It did not happen because blacks were "unruly savages". They were mostly decent and hard working people. Neither did it happen because Nifonese were "racist bigots". It did happen because the two communities suffered a failure to understand each other at the fundamental level due to differences in culture and worldview. And hundreds paid the price - in their blood.
Human beings have a natural instinct to identify with their kinsmen. The bonds of Kinship are as natural as the family union. The moment when differences arise, that moment groups get separate interests. The moment they get separate interests, they can no longer be combined into a single group. Everyone except few deluded ones realizes that such differences exist and can not be destroyed without utter destruction of group's self identity - which often has to be done by force.
One can ask himself weather that is a price that is even worth to pay...
Yet various cosmopolitan factions attempt to pressure us to import millions of gaijin into the land of white blazing sun. Their goal is not a new one - for it resembles the tale of tower of Babel that had been told to us in the sutras of the Lord of Heaven. A world without borders where we, the Nifonese, have no defining characteristics; first, to weaken our society by introducing untold numbers of people whose numbers outmatch Nifonese labour market; then radicalize them and cause domestic instability. When such instability ends, we are to be turned into an identity-less morass without any distinctive genetic or memetic characteristics.
If various gaijin liberals want to build their Babel, they are free to do so. Nifon, however, shall have no part in it. And let them remember that fact. The idea that nation is not meant to reflect it's ethnic composition is not just immoral, but going against nature, and as such will not be respected by sons of Admiral Yu.
Various steps will be taken to ensure this. First, the Empire of Greater Nifon shall soon witness an overhaul of immigration policy. I understand that immigration is a natural phenomena and I do not wish any evil upon the immigrants. Immigrants may be present in Nifon, but they need to understand that they are guests, and while enjoying hospitality benefiting a guest, should not land with dirty boots upon a Riysan carpet as happens in multiple gaijin lands. Those who do not like that fact can always leave, or in necessary cases, will be made to leave. Immigration from countries with positive historical experiences with Nifon will be preferred, and immigration quotas (the same ones that various journalists accused me of setting on "extremely restricted" level) will be even tightened to prioritize Nifonese labor force. The immigrants who we chose to let stay in Nifon will enjoy all our hospitality as long as they properly assimilate and adopt our culture.
Illegal immigration shall not be tolerated. All those who will illegally attempt to enter the Nifonese waters will be made to turn back with use of force should it be deemed necessary.
Nifon is a land inhabited by the Nifonese. Nifonese are yellow skinned, descend from Admiral Yu's expedition and value social harmony that the sages instilled in us. it's time for them to stand proudly without minpon media spreading waterfalls of venom over them, dubbing them "racists" for just admitting who they are. We never claimed to be a "master race" which should rule the world. We respect other cultures and believe that they have the same rights as ours. We practice the principle of benelovence our sages taught us towards other human beings. But we won't - WON'T - let ourselves be reduced to nothingness just because someone dreams of a world without borders.
And those who do not respect that I proclaim loudly: YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
Honor be with you, Namu Iesu Krishtou!
