日本国 What to expect:Posts of about 300-500 words. Hopefully about 3-4 times a week. Possible thread ideas:Opening of Japan. (America) Ansei treaties (Most imperial powers in the 19th century) Sino-Japanese War 1894-95 (China, with others on the side.) Japanese bubble burst. Tokyo and Nanking War trials (Allied Powers) Annexation of Korea - 1910. (Korea) Anglo-Japanese alliance (England) Ertuğrul incident 1890 - Turkey As always though I am more than open to anything anyone may suggest! And please do! Japan is not the recluse many like to make him out to be! |

So I noticed you have the Ertuðrul incident of 1890...which I think is awesome because not many people know of that incident. Have you heard of the repaying of Gratitiude that occured in september 1980 when the Iraq-Iran war began and there were many Japanese tourists stuck in Iraq and the Japanese government, airlines, etc, had refused to send in anything or anyone to go help their citizens.
It was Turkish Airlines and many Turks who gave up their seats on the plane so that they could safely transport the Japanese out and into Turkey. It was a risk on the airline, the staff on the plane but everyone was committed and had managed to save those Japanese tourists from possible chaos if they couldn't find a way out.
Anyway, I'd love to play out the Ertuðrul incident and then maybe if things work out we could play out the repayment of that gratitude. We Turks never forget when someone does something good to us.
Let me know what you think and then we can start planning this shit out!

I was thinking of the repaying of gratitude in 1980 too! But I thought it would probably be better to play out the actually incident before we reach the gratitude! It sounds great though! I would love to roleplay it all with you  I was thinking it might perhaps be an idea to have their first meeting be with Japan accompanying the corvettes he used to return the sailors? Because Japan was concerned with reaching out to other nations at the time to an almost healthy level and I feel he would have grasped this opportunity rather readily.. or perhaps more appropriately his bosses would have xD;; But then the Frigate was on a goodwill voyage so perhaps Turkey would have accompanied the voyage to meet Japan too... I dunno. Either way could be fun. If we have the first meeting with the Frigate then we could have an extended period of time where Turkey stays with Japan, on the other hand though Japan would be out of his element if they first met in Turkey. What do you think? |

Hahaha, we are on the same wavelength in that case. That's great! Makes planning a lot easier for the second thread.  I was actually more for the idea of Turkey joining the Frigate on its goodwill voyage and is one of the 'officers' that survives the disastor. Just because in that case it will me ten times more for Turkey that Japan went through all that effort to help him out when their relations really only consisted of meeting once because some of the Japanese Navy was heading to Europe for military training. I completely agree with you on that. There would be no point starting it off with their first interactions. But I think my main question will be, will Japan have anything to do with the kindness of the villagers who hosted the ship-wrecked sailors? Cause I'm fond of the idea of Japan nursing Turkey back to conciousness or health however we decide to play it out in the end. But I can understand how that can be conflicting as well. |

Japan nursing Turkey back to health sounds really good actually. Lots of opportunities for misunderstandings and the need for Turkey to claim responsibility xD
If you're happy with that we could start off the thread with Turkey already in Japan's house, with Japan tending to him?

Yeah! Perfect! I can start us off in that case. Unless you have an idea in which case you are more than welcome to get us going. xD

I can start if you want! I was thinking it could start with Turkey already in Japan's house and the Asian nation fussing over him?

I wouldn't mind playing out something. I noticed that you put down the opening of Japan, and I'd be willing to rp that. I'd also be willing to rp World War II or more modern things as well. I'm pretty open, so lemme know if you wanna plot anything!
