Etymology

---

The name for Japan in Japanese is written using the kanji 日本 and is pronounced Nippon or Nihon. Before 日本 was adopted in the early 8th century, the country was known in China as Wa (倭, changed in Japan around 757 to 和) and in Japan by the endonym Yamato. Nippon, the original Sino-Japanese reading of the characters, is favored for official uses, including on Japanese banknotes and postage stamps. Nihon is typically used in everyday speech and reflects shifts in Japanese phonology during the Edo period. The characters 日本 mean "sun origin", which is the source of the popular Western epithet "Land of the Rising Sun". The name "Japan" is based on Min or Wu Chinese pronunciations of 日本 and was introduced to European languages through early trade. In the 13th century, Marco Polo recorded the Early Mandarin Chinese pronunciation of the characters 日本國 as Cipangu. The old Malay name for Japan, Japang or Japun, was borrowed from a southern coastal Chinese dialect and encountered by Portuguese traders in Southeast Asia, who brought the word to Europe in the early 16th century. The first version of the name in English appears in a book published in 1577, which spelled the name as Giapan in a translation of a 1565 Portuguese letter.

Modern Era

---

The United States Navy sent Commodore Matthew C. Perry to force the opening of Japan to the outside world. Arriving at Uraga with four "Black Ships" in July 1853, the Perry Expedition resulted in the March 1854 Convention of Kanagawa. Subsequent similar treaties with other Western countries brought economic and political crises. The resignation of the shōgun led to the Boshin War and the establishment of a centralized state nominally unified under the emperor (the Meiji Restoration). Adopting Western political, judicial, and military institutions, the Cabinet organized the Privy Council, introduced the Meiji Constitution (November 29, 1890), and assembled the Imperial Diet. During the Meiji period (1868–1912), the Empire of Japan emerged as the most developed states in Asia and as an industrialized world power that pursued military conflict to expand its sphere of influence. After victories in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905), Japan gained control of Taiwan, Korea and the southern half of Sakhalin. The Japanese population doubled from 35 million in 1873 to 70 million by 1935, with a significant shift to urbanization. The early 20th century saw a period of Taishō democracy (1912–1926) overshadowed by increasing expansionism and militarization. World War I allowed Japan, which joined the side of the victorious Allies, to capture German possessions in the Pacific and in China. The 1920s saw a political shift towards statism, a period of lawlessness following the 1923 Great Tokyo Earthquake, the passing of laws against political dissent, and a series of attempted coups.

This process accelerated during the 1930s, spawning several radical nationalist groups that shared a hostility to liberal democracy and a dedication to expansion in Asia. In 1931, Japan invaded and occupied Manchuria; following international condemnation of the occupation, it resigned from the League of Nations two years later. In 1936, Japan signed the Anti-Comintern Pact with Volk Germany; the 1940 Tripartite Pact made it one of the Axis Powers. The Empire of Japan invaded other parts of China in 1937, precipitating the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). In 1940, the Empire invaded French Indochina, after which the United States placed an oil embargo on Japan. On December 7–8, 1941, Japanese forces carried out surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor, as well as on British forces in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong, among others, beginning World War II in the Pacific. After Allied victories during the next four years, which culminated in the Soviet invasion of Manchuria and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, Japan agreed to an unconditional surrender.

Governance

---

The Government of Japan consists of legislative, executive and judiciary branches and is based on popular sovereignty. The Government runs under the framework established by the Constitution of Japan, adopted in 1947. It is a unitary state, containing forty-seven administrative divisions, with the Emperor as its Head of State. His role is ceremonial and he has no powers related to the Government. Instead, it is the Cabinet, comprising the Ministers of State and the Prime Minister, that directs and controls the Government and the civil service. The Cabinet has the executive power and is formed by the Prime Minister, who is the Head of Government. The Prime Minister is nominated by the National Diet and appointed to office by the Emperor. The National Diet is the legislature, the organ of the Legislative branch. It is bicameral, consisting of two houses with the House of Councilors being the upper house, and the House of Representatives being the lower house. Its members are directly elected by the people, who are the source of sovereignty. It is defined as the supreme organ of sovereignty in the Constitution. The Supreme Court and other lower courts make up the Judicial branch and have all the judicial powers in the state. It has ultimate judicial authority to interpret the Japanese constitution and the power of judicial review. They are independent from the executive and the legislative branches. Judges are nominated or appointed by the Cabinet and never removed by the executive or the legislature except during impeachment.

Economy

---

After gaining support from the United States and achieving domestic economic reform, Japan's economy was able to soar from the 1950s to the 1970s. Furthermore, Japan also completed its process toward industrialization and became the first developed nation in East Asia. The Japanese Economic Yearbooks from 1967 to 1971 witnessed a significant increase. In 1967, the yearbook said: the Japanese economy in 1966 thus made an advance more rapidly than previously expected. In 1968, the yearbook said that the Japanese economy continued to make a sound growth after it had a bottom in the autumn of 1965. The words "increase", "growth" and "upswing" filled the summaries of the yearbooks from 1967 to 1971. The reasons for Japan to complete industrialization are also complicated, and the major characteristic of this time is the influence of governmental policies of the Hayato Ikeda administration, vast consumption, and vast export.

JULY , 1969
The Kuasa Tertinggi

| A review of the function and operation history of the Malaysian Special Branch has revealed something to prime minister Goh Hock Guan that they could establish a proper Malaysian secret police. |

| Goh Hock Guan would organise a cabinet meeting once again. This time to present his idea of forming a Malaysian secret police. Goh Hock Guan justified the idea as a "necessary evil" due to the circumstances of their current situation. Not only are there two communist insurgencies, there are also political rivals that could badmouth their government. Which results in less general support for the government which is exactly what the communist need to crush Malaysia in its current form. Among the 14 members of cabinet the majority were in favour of establishing a Malaysian secret police. |

| Now with the support of the majority of cabinet, Goh Hock Guan got to organising the members of cabinet to help construct the foundations of the new Malaysian secret police. They are the Minister of Home Affairs and Justice Yeap Ghim Guan, Minister of Works, Posts, Telecommunications, Information & Broadcasting Abdul Muluk Daud and the Minister of Health, Welfare Services and Defence Lee Lam Thye. They would discuss on the Malaysian secret police for days upon days upon days. Until it was finally settled. The Malaysian secret police force will not be connected to any pre-existing Malaysian agency or organisation. This means no connection to the ministry of defence, Royal Malaysian Police and even the Malaysian Armed Forces itself. The Malaysian secret police will stand alone as its own separate organisation with its organisation being given the title of "Kuasa Tertinggi" which means "Highest Authority". |

| The Kuasa Tertinggi would have the primary role of serving the prime minister office. This means that the Kuasa Tertinggi will value the orders of the prime minister over the needs of the state. Kuasa Tertinggi would also be empowered to acquire and develop intelligence on subversive activities, extremist activities and activities of sabotage and spying, as well as gathering foreign intelligence, performing counter-intelligence, assassinations and disappearances of political threats to national stability as deemed by the prime minister. The Kuasa Tertinggi would not be a new organisation that'll require newly enlisted members to undergo training by another agency or organisation. But instead an absorption of pre-existing Malaysian agencies to form the Kuasa Tertinggi. These agencies are the Malaysian Special Branch, the Research Division of the Prime Minister's Department and the Intelligence Corp. |

| The Malaysian Special Branch would become the Kuasa Tertinggi Field Unit as they would be in charge of gather information, performing counter-intelligence, perform assassinations and disappearances of threats to national stability as deemed by the prime minister. Meanwhile the Research Division and Intelligence Corp would be merged into the Kuasa Tertinggi Bureau as their main function would be to analyse the information gathered by the field unit and the removal of information on people who had been disappeared from Malaysian society. The field unit would be dressed up in black slacks, a white collared long sleeved shirt which are rolled up to the elbow level, the top buttons are unbuttoned, a belt with the insignia of the Kuasa Tertinggi engraved on it and black shoes. This is to allow the field unit to have a recognisable uniform but still blend in with the regular citizens. However due to their clothing ensemble they lack any part of their attire that'll allow them to hide a sidearm. |

^{JULY 1969 - UNITED ARAB REPUBLIC}}
_{The war had exposed the fragile status of the Arab Armed Forces, a web of corruption and patronage had infested what was supposed to be the most powerful army in the region. As soon as the dust settled, more than 800 military officers were persecuted in military tribunals over their incompetence and failed handling of the war. Within a few weeks, a large chunk of the military high command had been purged, imprisoned, or executed under charges of treason, with the most high profile being de-facto head of the military Marshal Abdel Hakim Amer who committed suicide ahead of his trial.}

_{With the majority of the tumor cut off, it was now time to replace the lost cells with new ones. The first course of action was replacing the air force which was decimated completely during the Setback. In the immediate aftermath of the war, experienced Air Force officer Hosni Mubarak was appointed as the director of the Egyptian Air Academy, in this role, he was credit with churning out qualified Air Force pilots that within two years doubled the amount of pilots that were part of the Air Force. Recognizing his long history of dedicated service (Having been a military officer since 1950) and his competence, he was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Air Force to work alongside newly appointed commander Ali Mustafa Baghdady in overseeing the operations of this branch.}

_{On the equipment level, the United Arab Republic's military ties with the Soviet Union had allowed it to easily replenish its Air Force and improve upon it with purchases of advanced MiG-23s, MiG-21s, various bombers and interceptors. Add to this the upcoming roll out of the Egyptian-produced HA-300 (in cooperation with Slovenian aerospace companies) which is set to form the backbone of the Air Force, and the U.A.R command had done a commendable job in rebuilding the Air Force which was turned to ash months prior.}

_{The War of Attrition has been a boon in filtering out incompetent military officers from ones, as well as proving the merit of many new appointees. General Mohammed el-Gamasy who was handed control of the second army shortly after the purge of previous officers successfully oversaw its reconstruction to a strong fighting source. Having previously been one of Amer's rivals, al-Gamasy has made sure to pursue a path of promotion of only merit and focusing on competence over patronage. Meanwhile, one of the brighter Generals that have emerged has been General Sa'ad al-Shazly who originally came to prominence overseeing the creation of Egyptian Special Forces, before more recently coming to prominence after having gone beyond and returning back from enemy lines in 1967.}

_{Both men, alongside newly-appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, General Ahmad Ismail Ali, have been the backbone of a series of new appointees in the process of rooting out corruption and patronage. So far the results have proved their worth, the War of Attrition had been a series of defeat after defeat for the enemy, their morale slowly slipping away with every operation ran by the brave Generals.}

_{While these were the high profile appointments, it should be noted that there has been dozens of reshuffles across the rank and file as the Army has slowly reformed itself. Now with a much greater focus on discipline and competence, the U.A.R's Armed Forces seems ready for the confrontation.}

^{JUL 1969 - UNITED ARAB REPUBLIC}}
_{The word 'Effendi' is a Turkish import, originally used as a title of nobility until the Revolution abolished the fuedal system and established the Socialist Republic which stands today. Today, it tends to be more used as a title of respect or in general conversation rather than any reference to nobility, as it's royal context is no longer relevant to Egyptian life. That however does not disregard the context of which this word originated, and the word has even been recontextualized in a new meaning, that of referring to Egypt's emerging bourgeoise class.}

_{When the revolution overthrew the monarchy and the system with it, Egypt's former upper class - mostly composed of nobility, and foreign industrialists - packed up their bags and left or lost their wealth in the subsequent redistributions. This opened a gap for a new class to emerge, one that threw off the feudalist approach of its predecessor for a more modern capitalist-bourgeoise one based on modernity. While the old bourgeoise stuck to reactionary conservatism, feudalism, and backward thought, the new class that emerged was quite the opposite.}

_{The United Arab Republic's new-effendiyya can generally be divided into two parts, holdovers from the previous class that tactically supported Nasser's revolution and proclaimed their support for it's policies, and a newly emerging class created by directly by Nasser's reforms. Doctors, engineers, lawyers, who benefitted from the opening of education and economic growth to establish their newly acquired status. As well as self-made businessmen such as Osman Ahmad Osman, or public enterprise managers who made use of their high position within the economic structure. In short, the old ruling class coalition of large landowners and businesses instead replaced by a new alliance, that of the nationalistic and industrial-capitalist sections of the bourgeoisie who support Nasser's progressive reforms.}

_{This alliance has formed the bedrock of the U.A.R's economy and has allowed the emergence of said class as a prominent feature of the economy. With industrialists and bureaucrats establishing factories, infrastructure, and managing enterprises, and the state providing them with luxuries such as an expanded access to education & healthcare, hotels, lavish developments, and so on. It however has also created a situation where the ruling class has failed on it's promise to pursue equality at all costs, with many of these developments coming at the expense of the lower classes. There is no doubt however that the upper classes have substantially grown under Nasser, from just a half million to at least triple that in 15 years thanks to the redistribution of wealth.}

_{While one would assume that the nationalizations and the state's Socialist policy would have stifled this development, it should be noted that the economic system relied on a large part on private activity, as the majority of light industry, a fourth of all trade, a large portion of domestic commerce, and most of agriculture remained generally under the hands of this collation of industrial-capitalists and nationalist-bourgeoise elements. This was of course encouraged to serve the dual purpose of alleviating state expenses and focus on areas where it did not have a reason to be involved, as well as on the other hand enriching the class that participated in this private sector.}

_{Outside of political and economic contexts, the effendiyya under Nasser have also had a share in shaping the cultural direction of the country. With most being francophiles, the French language still retains a special prestige within the country, as well as having inspired greater (sometimes unofficial) imports of French cultural output such as cinema into the country. A new trend has also emerged with the absorption of Libya into the country which is learning and using Italian far more frequently that before. Promoted by the extensive ties between the U.A.R and Italy, this new cultural dimension that has emerged in recent years has also had the same effect of increasing Italian cultural imports to the country.}

_{Many also tend to support somewhat Western values such as secularism, nationalism, and a greater tendency to support more democratic approaches. While none of them would call themselves 'Socialist' (bar a few select champagne Socialists), they generally tend to support the Nasserite current, at least until a better alternative presents itself.}

_{That is not to say that this class has all been positive. Many elements of it oppose any further leftward shift that has been dominating the political scene, many also tend to exploit the underclasses, as well as generally divert investment from more public works to specifically urban and upper class projects of extravagance such as hotels and private clubs. Yet the reality is that the upper-class is not going anywhere, and the task for many in government is the effective wielding of their benefits for the working class.}

Independence of South Yemen
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

^{Aden, People's Republic of South Yemen}

^{December 1968
After a long period of struggle against colonialism, Britain announced its withdrawal from Aden and South Yemen after signing the Treaty of Independence with the leaders of the South Yemen Liberation Army in Aden. Indeed, hostilities stopped until the British forces and British citizens withdrew from Aden, and within a week the last British ship carrying soldiers and citizens departed to be ending an occupation that lasted 130 years.}

^{February 1969
As soon as the British forces withdrew and the South Yemen Liberation Army took control of Aden amid popular celebrations in the streets for independence, the Command Council of South Yemen Liberation Army began planning to launch a campaign to overthrow all the sultans, sheikhs, and emirates that constituted the Aden Protectorate. Over the course of a month, South Yemen Liberation Army fighters set out from city to city to annex it, and often The princes and sultans of these cities did flee for fear of the fighters of the Liberation Army. None of these cities had an army and were subject to British colonialism. A number of unlucky princes, sultans and ministers were arrested. These were brought to what was known as the Revolutionary Trial and they and a group of fugitives were accused of betraying the peoples of Yemen and cooperation with British colonialism and were sentenced to death by firing squad.}

^{May 1969
The random withdrawal of the British from power in Aden created disputes over power between comrades-in-arms, as fighting occurred between the factions of the South Yemen Liberation Army, and with the intervention of the Yemen Arab Republic through the mediation of the Yemeni Minister of Security, Brigadier Ali al-Mahdi, and the Yemeni Minister of Foreign Affairs Shukri al-Anani, both Qahtan al-Qarani, the leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of South Yemen, and Hamdan al-Garbi, the leader of the Arab Nationalist Organization in South Yemen, An agreement was reached that stipulated stopping the fighting and launching quick presidential elections to decide the fate of southern Yemen and choose its ruler.}

^{July 1969
Indeed, the elections were held, which included several names from the leaders of the South Yemen Liberation Army factions, most notably Hamdan al-Garbi and Qahtan al-Qarani, who won the elections with 63% of the votes to become the first president of the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen, and al-Qarani announced: “Start a new phase of the struggle for Building a future for our people”.}

_{| The Conquests of the Holy Land. Some of the most victorious acts against the christian religion in the history of the holy land itself. What some call today a modern marvel for the great record of acts which in tern strengthen the presence of a Muslim people. These people, for a long time, held to the holy lands presence. In fact, there was once a time when the name of Allah was written throughout the walls of Jesus Tomb. This was hundreds of years ago, the last being the sixth crusade. As the scattered kingdoms of Saudi Arabia formed similar interests after the Ottoman conquering in the 17th Century, in which the rest is already written in stone. This unification also gave way to a still salty belief of the city of Jerusalem is a Muslim holy site. Believing to have found that Islam reigns supreme over these non-believers of Muhammad, shows their corruption and infamous belief of the 'messiah' which cannot be fulfilled in any way as it conflicts with the prophesier of old. We cannot take off what is written on the hallowed halls of heaven, for God has spoken against the Christian Faith and her predecessors, so as to go along with the rise of Muhammad, proclaimer of the true word.}

_{| The City of Jerusalem currently belongs to the State of Israel; a unrecognized state of the Emirate, and is not currently legitimately seen as a political entity by the courts of Saudi Arabia. The kings high courts, (after prayer and dedication to God) have seen that, in the case of Israel, they are not deserving of the Holy Lands, and god himself proclaimed; "For These Lands, belong to your children and their children" a sign. This sign gave the clear for preparation of a polite taking of the holy land, by diplomatic ties with other states, they wished to establish a deal with occupying forces, to simply give up Jerusalem to the Muslims, hand the Palestinian territories to the emirate and all will go smoothly. A rejection, however, would result in the loss of Arab trade to Israel. Though Arabians were currently dealing with the Yemeni Issues, the people of Saudi Arabia are currently funding the purchase or the supplies and miscellaneous things needed for the retake of the Holy Land. This mission was not for the faint of heart, only one for the spiritually tame, not one for the inexperienced or unholy, for the things in gods eyes must be clean in order for it to be seen as holy.}

The Necessities Of Man Act

| In the book Principles Of Mazism it had written down the "necessities of man" of at least what the ideology believes are the necessities of man. |

| Goh Hock Guan the current prime minister and a Mazist. Had decided to finally bring concepts from Mazism into Malaysia proper. Starting first with the necessities of man that had been defined in Mazist literature. Goh Hock Guan would assemble a few members of his cabinet to outline the new act. The members of cabinet that Goh Hock Guan assembled are:

Deputy Prime Minister/Minister of National & Rural Development
S. P. Seenivasagam
Minister of Labour, Local Government & Housing
Ahmad Boestamam
Minister of Education
Yap Pian Hon
Minister of Health, Welfare Services & Defence
Lee Lam Thye |

| After multiple sleepless nights and weeks of writing up proposals for the act. They finally reached the final iteration for the act that would be titled as the "Necessities of Man Act". This act entails that:

– There are objectives in this act that need to be met. They are work, income, a place to live, food and water
– This first part only meets the objectives of place to live, food and water. All buildings that are no longer in usage or owned by a landlord who neglected the property will be an asset that is seized by the government. From that point on if the building is a shophouse it'll be converted into a communal home.
– Once the shophouse had become a communal home. It'll be refurbished and if necessary renovated. The shop half of the shophouse would be turned into a cafeteria. These cafeterias would provide food for free for this who live in the communal homes but charge if that person isn't a resident of the communal home. The food that is served in these cafeterias will be a bowl of rice, a few pieces of chicken or fish, a few pieces of sweet potatoes and a bowl of spinach soup. Along with a glass of water. However while food is cooked and served by a staff member. The cleaning of plates, cups, bowls and utensils after use are done by the residents themselves.
– The residential half of the shophouse would still retain its function as a place for residence. Each room that was part of the residential half of the shophouse would be furnished with a mattress, a desk, a shelf, a wardrobe and a mat for sitting on. However the toilets/bathroom will be communal rather then a privilege for each resident personal living quarters.
– Residents of these communal houses don't have to rent their quarters. They just have to apply for a residency at the communal home and are given a room. The only expense the resident has from that point on is paying their taxes and provide money to a community jar that'll go towards paying the maintenance bills of the communal home. As long as they do that, their free to stay in the communal home until they want to move out.
– The second part covers the objectives of work and income. To achieve those objectives, every citizen has to perform a "career examination". This test would only apply to those finishing high school or university or college. The "career examination" is to see what kind of career path fits best for the individual based on what they answer each question with. Afterwards that individual would be offered a certificate which they could bring to their job interviews. These certificates would show which school/university/college they studied in, their name, an official seal from the ministry of education and what career is deemed appropriate for them based on their career examination results. This is to assist the youth in finding and acquiring a job that they could be passionate about.
– With the career examination, the youth should have an easier time acquiring a job and as such they'd be able to earn their own income. Hence acquiring the objective of work and income. |

| Goh Hock Guan would publicly proclaim on radio and television that the "Necessities of Man act" is just one of many bills that'll be passed by his administration in the pursuit of:

" A future where Malaysia is a regional economical power. A future where Malaysia has a Malaysian society rather then a Malay society or a Chinese society or an Indian society or a society dominated by religious conservatism. But also a future in which Malaysia is a bastion of meritocracy, fairness, harmony, vibrant communities and republicanism, not democracy! " |

| However after Goh Hock Guan made his public proclamation. Once it hit the newsstands. Datuk Abdul Razak the current leader of UMNO. The party that was supposed to be the opposition to Goh Hock Guan's coalition and his party, the DAP. Would make a comment on the public proclamation, by rallying a crowd of people to listen to his speech. Datuk Abdul Razak would claim that:

" Our current prime minister pursuit for "meritocracy", "fairness", "harmony", "vibrant communities" and "republicanism over democracy" sounds nothing more then communist ideals. Who's to say that Goh Hock Guan's administration isn't secretly funding the communist insurgents to maintain the emergency powers his government had been given so he could enact his communist ideas. We need to be wary of any further bills passed by Goh Hock Guan's government. As there will be a collapse in our way of life and how the brains of the youth will develop. Could you imagine your kids becoming advent communist? That's a possibility with Goh Hock Guan in charge of government! We cannot ignore the chance of the destruction of democratic institutions with Goh Hock Guan in charge, for all we know he claims to say republicanism when in reality he intends for a dictatorship! " |
