And America. We never broke off trade relations with you, and we're willing to fill out your orders for those tanks!

Germany would like to make a statement referring to the Japanese tank designs. While they have no lack of ambition, Japan simply does not have the means to produce them. Germany developed their own mechanized armor over the course of the last year, with a strong economy to back up our research. The Japanese hope to develop their new tanks over the course of a few months, following a worldwide embargo.
Based on German and Australian development and research history, we can reasonably predict that Japan will have a functioning version of all of these tanks deployed by about 2126, assuming they have no trouble scrounging up the resources to produce it. If the Americans assist them, we can move that time frame to spring of 2121, assuming the USA isn't crippled economically when the sanctions are inevitably applied to them.

Nobody will instigate sanctions against the PAU on a multinational level, so the matter is mute.

Good. We will be happy to co-operate with our American friends.

Aahh the gold old days...
A bit of lore on Oceania, responding to the question of the very origins of our proud nation:
Part 1:
The beginnings of this story go past until before the cataclysm, where an event happened that altered the course of this nation.
The doom was near, and all the major occidental governments made several plans to protect everything possible.
One of those plans regarded the safekeeping of all the major works of art of humanity for future generations. Several worldwide organizations worked jointly in this massive super secret project, such as the NATO, the Commonwealth and some other nations of the G-20.
All these works of art would be stored in a secret place that nearly no one would knew it existed.
And the choice was Nauru. The tiny island nation, with an incredible history that nearly everyone in this thread knows about I think, was chosen because of a decent infrastructure network, remoteness, and a crippled environment within the island, perfect to invest massively on huge storehouses and give employment to a population with no work, as the guano exploits were depleted.
No time for more right now, sorry, but I have the outline.

Let it be known to all nations of the world, that the Pan-American Union values three things above all: freedom of seas, the freedom of sovereignty, and the sacred liberty of the individual. The Union exists, primarily, to serve and further the cause of the North American peoples - and that cause includes the free trade with all nations that grace this great green Earth. The Union of Nations that the Pan-American Union, and its constituent states, have been apart of for several years now has, with the advent of Resolution 14, has stopped leaning in favor of liberty and instead wishes to use the power and authority of its laws to bend the sovereignty of nations for the selfish purposes of a handful of nations - particularly the UAR.
Henceforth, the Pan-American Union, with the consent of all its member states, has decided that, in the interest of preserving the sovereignty of the Union, defending the freedom of the seas & trade, and safeguarding the independence of our citizenry, has decided that it will officially and voluntarily withdraw from the United Nations. It is a defunct and corrupt institution that we wish no part of.
The Pan-American Union is willing to fight for its freedom, make no mistake; and it is a fight that we can most definitely win.

The Pan-American Union's defense of free trade is admirable and Germany has no qualms with it. However, we still believe that until a law on the subject is passed, a nation cannot legally withdraw from the UN.
If they truly wish to leave though, that's their problem. In the meantime, Germany will suspend trade with all nations in the PAU, since they no longer consider themselves subject to UN trade regulations.

the Roman Empire is shocked that Germany would suspend trade with the PAU, simply because they are not bound by UN regulations. therefore, we will increase trade with the PAU to compensate for Germany's cessation.
...the Roman Emperor is also considering leaving the UN. he believes that it is too slow and too cumbersome, with a lot of nations choosing not to take part, to truly be called a UN. its more like UAR plus its supporters. well, that and it seems that all importance of the Empire vanished.

It is mildly amusing, and immensely concerning that one of the great nations of the earth of today, the former Empire of Japan, now Shogunate of Japan, has seen fit to revert to elder obsolete mindsets and to exacerbate in this way the entirety of the political and intellectual communities of the modern world. Not only have the spurning of all international law, the sheer disregard for the sanctity of human life, and the destruction of over a century of virtuous democratic procedure served to prove the fallacious and ephemeral nature of the current Japanese Shogunate, but the current actions of the ignoble Japanese government coupled with the disconcertingly quiet status of the Japanese, Japanese Chinese, and Vietnamese peoples (for the manifestly subservient condition of the so-called Empire of Vietnam under Tokyo, no matter what false pleas and excuses the Empire and then Shogunate may offer, is painfully apparent to all with a right mind) themselves show the several cracks in the seemingly invincible and omnipotent aura of totalitarian Japan, signifying the discontent status of the few thousands of oppressed peoples under the Japanese yoke.
In order to best understand the machinations of the political entity that drives the Japanese tyranny, we must first take a look at what sort of scale this aforementioned entity actually operates on. Initially, without further review of the complicated, obscured from public view Japanese political system, one might assume that as with traditional dictatorships, tyrannies, and absolute monarchies of the like of modern day Japan, our eastern neighbors might have a political engine limited to one sole person. Indeed, with the readily apparent obfuscation of domestic political matters, the Japanese propaganda machine has left observers with few clues and pieces to a grand master puzzle on the workings of the Japanese government. Of the few select personnel the Japanese political machine has provided to the global community, one stands out the most among them. The right esteemed Takeshi Ruchang, former Prime Minister of Japan, recently appointed the bizarrely historical title of Shogun, and placed in immediate cultural, political, and physical peril with his ascension to the merely propaganda-filled title, the so-called Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force against the Barbarians, a curious position to be filled by one of the most barbaric men of all. From what little is known about Shogun Ruchang, we can assume very few things, yet these key snippets of information have allowed us to construct a viable, valid file on the man. The acting head of one of the misleading political parties of Japan, the apparently Democratic Party of Japan, has, with the help of solely the propagandists of the DPJ behind him, slandered the name of the former Emperor, shunned the needs of the proletarian, and plowed through the resistance of his political opponents, most probably by force, bribery, and other most unsavory tactics. It is, as history has shown repeatedly in the past, and as the current weakening of Japans iron grip on its peoples and others is becoming more readily clear, solely the barbaric nature of the New Shogun and his fellow party members that have allowed their ready accession to a position of absolute power, an accession obviously against the wills of the general populace, and an accession that will begin the rapid descent of the Japanese Shogunate.
Now that the basis for the Japanese political system has thus been clarified, it is important that we take a closer look at the man behind the whole ordeal, Takeshi Ruchang himself. It is as of yet unknown what sort of origins Ruchang hails from, as the tight-lidded Japanese government has kept all details on the man from the public. All that we can glean from this information is a startling tale built off of hard evidence provided by refugees from Japanese China who fled mass persecution, conscription, and execution to Our Glorious State. Given the Chinese origins of Mr. Ruchang, gleaned from his name [here we operate under the assumption that Ruchang would not take a Chinese surname on purpose as an aside to a Japanese name for his political career], we can thus consider one of two most probable possibilities. The first of which being that Ruchang was an earlier petty warlord from China during Japans initial invasion and destruction of China, the second of which being that Ruchang was born into one of the few Chinese families in Japan to heavy discrimination, which may have prompted his obvious delusion and peculiarly vicious discrimination against his own peoples. Now it is only with the newly acquired information on the origins of the Tyrant Ruchang that we may better understand his methodology and his unique ideology. We note the sheer ridiculous capacity that the Democratic Party of Japan, with their Chinese figurehead, can use to fabricate information and manipulate personae behind the scenes. Witnessed first by the outside world with the promotion of Tyrant to Jiāngjūn, the immediate capitulation of the once proud emperor of Japan, whose name the world is not even privy to, to Ruchang reeks of foul play. For in order to take the name of Jiāngjūn, the former Emperor was stripped of all power, even ceremonial, that remained, and sentenced to a lifetime of virtual imprisonment. One of the most questionably queer aspects of the current Chinese administration of Japan is their insistence on the fallacious historical institution of slavery. Despite the ancient destruction of slavery and any ideals that support the aforementioned institution, the current Shogunate insists on, against the will of every party on earth and against the established opinion against slavery, Jiāngjūn Ruchang still insists on supporting a defunct and corrupt ideal. Most likely due to his inherent hate against his fellow Chinese countrymen, Ruchang is deadest upon the destruction of the Chinese people, using them as subhuman labor, pushing the proletarian protagonists into an abrupt spiral of sheerly disastrous wageless slavery. Japanese oppression shall be their downfall, for no matter how much you beat the dragon, he will rise up tenfold stronger. Even within Japan do we see the cracks beginning to form in a brutishly created police state, behind the thin veil of cheap, paper-weak propaganda. The false machinations of the Ruchang Propaganda Machine fall upon cautious ears and unbelieving eyes, and there is not one man, woman, or child in the world, or indeed Japan, who can continue to believe such mindless authoritarian drivel. Woe be him that fells modern society unto historical fallacy, for the revival of the title Jiāngjūn offers naught but sheer idiocy and complacency to the minds of the Japanese proletarian, manufactured by the false ideals of both the bourgeoisie and reactionary idiotic bureaucrats that occupy the upper strata of Japan.

A SMALL TREATISE ON THE FALLACIOUS NATURE OF THE NEW JAPANESE SHOGUNATE AND ON THE INHERENT IMMEDIATE FALL OF JAPAN

The
GRAND UNION OF THE SIX NATIONS OF CHINA
Citing the continuous inefficiency of Japanese occupation of Japanese China, the continued presence of the vile institution of slavery in Japanese China, the continuous defiance of global protocol in regards to the aforementioned grievances as well as the long denied now apparent revocation of previously promise peace in China, the Grand Union of the Six Nations of China henceforth affirms direct Chinese administration over the territories formerly under Japanese Chinese administration.
We congratulate the peoples of East China for their perseverance, and for their long-awaited liberation as well.
