Meiji Militia is a private militia which is active whenever the leader TheScatmanJohn feels the Japanese Emperor is under threat either internally or externally. It has never had to face in game war but has instead used diplomacy.

**History of Meiji Militia**

The Meiji Militia was formed in response to NotSoPotato's takeover of Japan. At first players were interested in the direction Japan could take with the new regime as there had been general burnout. Hope was lost when the new Japan started sieging random towns and giving Japan a bad name, on top of that losing the vast majority, Potato and his players not caring about Japan and its history, traditions and the wishes of the nobility. It didn't feel like the Japan they once had. It was also feared that Potato didn't recognise the Emperor was the leader and would eventually break down the Imperial Family upheld since Season 1 and would banish all players who disagreed with his regime. In response to all this the Meiji\_Militia was created to respond to the new State of Japan.

**Meiji Militia - Season 2**

Discussion was had on how to tackle the new regime. It was decided to avoid civil war and to instead draft a constitution limiting the power of the Shogun. Due to pressure Potato also had to run an election deciding who the true leader of Japan was in which aBonnie, Japanese Emperor, won. Eventually Potato grew bored of Japan, abandoning the Island to join China and eventually due to apathy from Japanese players and having to touch grass Japan was turned into a Chinese puppet State, dragging Japan into unsuccessful wars and ruining its previous peaceful but stern status.

**Terrorist plot**

万歳! 万歳! 万歳!

Due to the success of diplomacy the plans for further action never occurred. Laws will be instituted to make sure such a bridge will never be made again and Japan will retain its Island mentality and harmony via view on dynmap.

### Season

4

Meiji\_Japan was a reactionary planned Nation inspired by Season 1 Japan players wanting to rekindle the old days and ways of Japan for the new Season after general burn out and NotsoPotato's reign of power.

**History of Meiji\_Japan**

The idea of Meiji\_Japan lays root in the **Meiji\_Militia** which was/is used whenever members feel the Imperial Family is threatened. This Nation's existence was a reaction from a player known by \_ARTEMOS\_ on Discord claiming Japan for his own, under the name "Unified Provinces of Japan", not knowing or caring about Japan's land being that of the Japanese Emperor's with this claim being wildly accepted and defended since Season 1 nor Japan's and Geofact's history.

It inspired the Leader of the **Meiji\_Militia**, TheScatmanJohn, to create a server in response to this foreign claim on Japan. TheScatmanJohn enquired to the Japanese Emperor aBonnie about the State of Japan for Season 4. The Emperor was interested in the new Season but was unsure about getting S1 Japanese players back due to inactivity.

*"Are you playing Season 4"**"TENNO HEIKA BANZAI"*

When other S1 Japanese players saw the new Nation that was claiming Japan they too joined in a feeling of disrespect. It was a reminiscence of the old Seasons and discussion the possibilities of the new Season which led to the decision to go forward and that Japan was not dead.

**Recognition of Meiji\_Japan**

   Meiji\_Japan made their claims openly known and it was made public to various servers that \_ARTEMOS\_ "new" and "democratic" Japan would not be accepted by those who played in Japan for so long. Propaganda pictured above was shared in various Geofacts servers to spread the word that Japan was alive. An application was made to join the "Pacific Alignment Sea Treaty Association" to remove access for the Unified Provinces of Japan within the alliance revoking their right to military support. Due to the pressure of Japan rising again, recognition from other Nations and shitposting \_ARTEMOS\_ retracted any plans for Japan or Asia and decided to create the Russian Federation split to the West of Russia. This was short lived due to anti-Russian sentiment on the server and \_ARTEMOS\_ gave up on Geofacts and left with a quote he copied and pasted on multiple servers which has since become a copypasta for players on the server.

*"You know what? I just realised something. Why am i here wasting so much time when i could be doing self improvement irl? Fuck this shit , i am gonna play the game that is called real life and level up there instead and actually gain something from it in my life.*
*I wish you all luck*

*Goodbye"*

*-\_ARTEMOS\_* **Merge of Meiji\_Japan**

Meiji\_Japan was merged into Nippon and Militia members integrated into the Nippon State Army. It was a precursor to the creation of Nippon and has achieved what it wanted, that of the creation of a new real Japanese Nation.
