Donovan Zoi
The Return
Welcome to the Foreign Affairs Office for Term 4!
Minister: Donovan Zoi
Deputy: CivGeneral
--------------------------
People of Japanatica,
As this term opens, we find ourselves at odds with the entire world. Were this a real world scenario, I believe that the Zulu and French would already be using our skirmish with the Iroquois as a chance to attack our northern border in the hopes of staving off a major threat to their very existence. But alas, this is a simple game of Civ, so it seems we are free to strike unchecked anyone who stands in the way of our desires, no matter how insignificant the spoils.
This is why I felt it important to come out of semi-retirement for this term. We need to bring a sense of honor back to our intentions. We need to know how to send a consistent message to interlopers without becoming butchers ourselves. Our nation has laid the groundwork to become the example for all nations to follow, yet we must exhibit a newfound sense of kindness to do so.
Do we have the wherewithall to hold our malevolent instincts in check, so that we can become the leaders of a free and prosperous world? I believe that we do. And with the peoples' blessing, I will do what I can to gain favor back from nations who no longer trust us.
There are many of us who wish for a Diplomatic Victory, and I would like to help deliver that if it is still a prevailing option. But it will take some reprogramming of our natural Civ tendencies to pull it off. Please join me in closing the book on the barbaric history of Japanatica, so that we may enter an era of peace and prosperity. And please join me in helping to play this game as if there were real world consequences, instead of painting in the numbers to yet another DemoGame Conquest victory.
What do you say, Japanatica? The eyes of the world are watching........
Respectfully.
Donovan Zoi
