Policy-4 (April Fools)

The Proposal
====Solidifying the Uniform Standards====
Over the past 7 years we've been gravitating towards more of a national theme. We have slowly been evolving from a generic European-fantasy chapter to something that is more heavily inspired by Japanese warriors, specifically the Samurai. After many years of slow assimilation it is now time to fully solidify our new identity and image!
====New Policies====
1.) Outlawing European Garb/Armor
We will officially outlaw all European inspired garb and armor. This is a major step forward in new-age acceptance. As you're well aware most neo-nazi and white supremacist groups have appropriated Norse and European cultural icons as new symbols of hate. To show our progressive nature we will only carry ourselves as Japanese Samurai.
As you can tell, not only does it solidify our ideology as an accepting people, but also makes us look much cooler! Below is a brief example of how many Verditians have already firmly said no to white supremacy, by shedding their European garb and instead embracing their proud Japanese identity.

2.) Outlawing European-Styled Weaponry
It isn't enough to just shed the garb, we must also abandon any items that would associate us with anything European. However, there is a practical standpoint to this as well:
Since we are now utilizing plate armor as a primary defense medium. We no longer need to worry or burden ourselves with shields. Shields are for peasants and barbarians who cannot hold the privilege of being part of the mighty Verditian Empire. Not to mention, when you use a shield, you cannot use a red/black sword tow handed. This is terrible, considering the previously mentioned weapons actually break shields! We will no longer utilize the instruments of the Lothtarian!
Here is a brief list of all equipment to be outlawed:
*Anything that has the word 'sword' in the name.
*Any Shield
*European variants of yari (pikes, spears, etc)
*European variants of kanabo (maces, mauls, etc)
*European variants of naginata (halberds, etc.)
*European variants of yumi (bows, cross-bows, etc)
*Any foam-fighting representation of a weapon that finds its origins stemming from Europe.
**The only exception to this is the Tanegashima 
3.) Rebranding the Rank Structure.
Most of our rank titles are littered with European themes. This is obviously unacceptable to our new identity. We would also change the rank systems to reflect a proper title!
