Crusader Kings III Available Now!
The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
You shouldn't worry, dear Ichi-chan, I have no intention of starting any foreign wars.

I accept my position as Interior Adviser.
Our nation need to be the center of Asia, an example to the other countries.
But to do this we have to reach the westernization. I know: a lot of Daimyos and Samurais think that this will be the end of the Empire but I want to be clear. Became westernize doesn't mean destroy our traditions. I am loyal to the Emperor and I will always be.
So I ask to the Tairo to encourage clergymen in Shikoku.
Long live the Emperor and Japan.

It is time for Chugoku's armies to be modernized and expanded to match the standard set by the other regions of Nippon and as such Chugoku shall do this. A port will also be built in Okayama to allow the further strengthening of Nippon's navy.
