Kusari Political Parties - Printable Version

Standing the test of many centuries, our morals that showed no defect from the times of our earliest ancestors, combined with the high character of our people, Kusari set up an example for the whole of Sirius to follow. With the protection of our ancestors and the infinite wisdom of our Emperors, Kusari stood tall and mighty among all the other Houses.

Yet, we - Kusari people - had to face many difficulties:

Jien Kogen lost the Mandate of Heaven, and his disappearance led to social unrest and to an identity crisis across our society.
The heavy losses our forces suffered in Bretonia and the Taus incited criminals to plague the core systems of our house.

Tested by the gods, we had to give many of our heroes as sacrifices. The defence of our country came into question with every losing battle on the Bretonian front. Our nation was at the verge of a crisis unseen before; without a proper defence force remaining at guard in our home, our very existence was threatened.

Since the takeover of the Democratic Party of Kusari we have witnessed a shift in power from the forces that protect us, to those more involved with economics. Our people's protection was not the topmost priority of the government that replaced the exiled Emperor's.

Our police force took the brunt of the damage, while our naval forces struggled still. Undermanned, underpaid, they kept going with their unyielding spirit and heroic nature, taught to them in their cradles by their mothers. They kept going with the knowledge that they stood between our good people and the wolves that would dare to prey on them. They gave many sacrifices, and still are giving for you, everyday, not seeking any return from it, unlike the corporations, except for the hope that Kusari will be able to live on to the tomorrow. They do not begrudge their lives from us, to give us a chance to return Kusari's mighty nature, its roots it sprung from and protected it from the time immemorial.

We can not answer our heroes, our sacrifices, in the afterlife, if we allowed ground for the corporate deals seeking to make cheap profits in exchange for the safety and future of our people.

We are bound with honor and tradition to protect our Kusari from the forces that seek to harm it from outside and inside. We vow to die before seeing the future of our children threatened. This is the Sunrise Party.

Despite our promises being centred on security matters, we are also concerned with the welfare of our people and are well aware of the fact that Kusari can not survive without its economy. Neither its citizens can live decently, without a good enough income.

Furthermore, our House can only survive with secured resources, allowing our defensive capabilities to be restored, and thus, allowing Law enforcers to ensure our economy prospers.

The restoration of such a virtuous circle is what we are aiming for.

We are aware of our ambitious project, which will require all our citizens to be dutiful and ready to serve Kusari with joy in their hearts. We'll cherish with them their patriotism, their hard work, and their good will. Our community will rediscover their self-worth and their values, becoming happier, better and stronger themselves as they strive for a better Kusari together with their loved ones and fellow Kusarians.

In order to start our project, we believe in allowing more legal powers to our law enforcers, co-operation with the other house enforcers, and an increased spending on the protection measures especially for our civilians.

We promise to focus on these objectives:

An increase in military and police spending.
Re-instatement of capital punishment.
A Conscription act: to bolster our forces if the need arises.
A retired officers fund.
Legal provision for enforcers to set and alter legal policy based on threat assessment.
Legal provision allowing enforcers to seize assets and execute suspects as they see fit.
Every citizen trained, prepared and armed for planetary/station invasion defence.
Enforce curfew in higher crime areas and increase patrols in those areas to ensure the peoples safety.
An increase in taxes for foreign financial bodies.
An increase in export tax on goods.
Legal restrictions on foreign shippers and companies.
An increase in public spending on specific educational sectors including: Personal defence, Health & well-being, Moral values, Military history.
Ensure a reliable series of contracts that will maintain and increase export of technologies and raw materials within realistic limits considering our own stockpiles.
We pledge to preserve Kusari culture through limiting work visas and preservation of Kusari only communities.
Income of Visitors from other houses is regrettably vital to the re-building of our nation. To maintain these arteries into Kusari we pledge to increase border and trade patrols through military incentives.
We vow to ensure that both Samura Heavy Industries and Kishiro Technologies would be held in equal measure if were elected to power.
Contracts would be split as evenly as possible, taxes and subsidies would be allocated in a financially balanced fashion, to ensure neither corporation pays more than the other.
Our government would also forward agendas on behalf of each corporation fairly, or when possible, as a joint venture: which the work in Rheinland should serve as an example of.

To summarize,

We aim to bring strength back to Kusari both in character and with military might.
We aim to bolster Kusari economy by exacting costs from foreigners who would exploit us.
We aim to limit the use of arms and strike craft amongst non-peacekeepers in order to decrease the amount of space faring criminals.

We humbly seek your support and your trust in us, so we can restore our Kusari to its lost nature with hard work and vigilance, learning from our past and building for our future.

"~Eight Chords, One Roof!~" De-facto party slogan.

The Kusari Prosperity Sphere is an organization and political party which has been long-present in the machinery of the Imperial Government, as blessed by the Divine Amaterasu, Goddess of the Sun, Queen of the Eight Million. We are an organization dedicated to the military growth and survival of the Greater Kusari Empire as a nation, as the last hope for eastern civilization in Sirius.

Among our ranks are oppressed ministers of the Empire, Admirals of the Divine Kaigun, State Shinto priests and shrinekeepers, and various economic movers and shakers, though the primary backing comes from the Kusari Military and especially the Kempeitai.

The Prosperity Sphere desires a "radical restructuring" of the Democratic Parties of Kusari into a "Proper" Imperial Diet, with the Imperial Throne restored under auspices other than Jien Kogen. This is nescessary for the continuity of Kusari. For as long as Kusari, and it's earthbound progenitor Japan, have existed, there was always an Emperor, a divine servant of Amaterasu, sitting atop the Throne, Watching over our great Nation.

Now that balance is threatened. For the Kusari Empire is hollow and helpless without the guidance of the Divine Throne, and direct links to the Divine. We hope to restore proper Imperial rule in a way that suits the needs of the Empire of Kusari.

Principals & Ideals:

"~Enrich the Country, Strengthen the Military~" Minister Suriyama (assassinated 816 A.S. by suspected Consortium cell)

The main and overall goal of the GKPS is the restatement of the Empire, National Mobilization; nationalization of the Keiretsu and all strategic Kusari assets, rebuilding of the military, and local participation in Imperial Affairs via Youth Movements and Neighborhood Associations.

We are a Pragmatic Organization; many policies of the Prior Empire are obsolete and must be balanced to the current day. Political corruption by Corporations, Crime Syndicates, and Agent Provocateurs must be expunged. Communist, Democratic, and Xenophillic lines of thought are highly dangerous to the integrity of the house and must be marginalized in a civil way best befitting the Nation.

Old policies of Sakoku and lingering xenophobia toward other houses must be eradicated to ensure free trade and profit for Kusari; in these times, trade with like-minded foriegn powers (such as Rheinland and Liberty) is an unfortunate necessity to ensure a solid industrial base strong enough to support a re-mobilized military.

The Greater Tau Conflict was righteous and justified, the surprise attack by Gallia was a traitor's move, Gallia is a direct and present threat to the survival of both Kusari and all of Sirius. Further aggression must be anticipated and countered with the full force of the Imperial Navy; we must rebuild our fleets and if nescessary, call on our allies abroad to crush Gallia.

Once the Gallic Threat is dealt with, we will settle the score with the Bretonian Aggressors whom instigated the Tau-Conflict on their own territorial interests.

Goals:

"~YOU ARE A PINATA! GIVE CANDIES!~" Ame-chan (Disappeared 817 A.S.)

Reimpose Imperial Rule under the Divine Throne of Amaterasu.
Reconstitute the existing parties under a new Imperial Diet, overseen by the Emperor.
Impose a National Mobilization Law; the State will take control of critical resources.
Institute a massive military build-up; restore the Divine Fleet to it's former glory.
Nationalize state Media, Labor Unions, and Corporations in anticipation for Total War with Gallia. Mobilize civic resources for defense purposes.
Normalize and strengthen relations with Liberty and Rheinland; expunge post-sakoku policies of previous agencies. If nescessary, bring in professional foriegn troops temporarily to defend Kusari from outside threats.
Purge destructive and hostile Communist, Ultranationalist, Criminal, and Xenophillic Influance from the State.
Improve public service and curb high delinquency rates through Creation of Youth Agencies and Neighborhood Associations.
Ensure future economic development and political stability through civic, economic, and legal programs.
Expand Kusari territory into uncolonized areas in the Edge Worlds; seek out new Natural Resources and Territories.
Deregulate cybernetics, optronic, biotech, psychic and archanotechnology-based institutes. Expand these fields to improve our technological base and fully exploit our economic output. Use of these technologies is the proper way forward.
Be prepared for any contingency; including but not limited to hostility by foriegn powers, invasion, or conflict with emergent Alien, Extradimensional, Memetic, Archanic, or Divine threats.
