Zaibatsu Absorption Announcement Speech and State of the Nation

This event has been televised throughout the entire island.

Shogun Lesato:

Thank you all for joining me on this glorious day. After four years, we have gone from a lowly position, a mere clique, teetering on collapse, to a force to be reckoned with. This past month I have secured the support of the Russian Empire. Supplies are coming. However that is only one reason I have called this speech. Today, Zaibatsu leaders have agreed to let us absorb their territory and people. Their companies will also be protected and will not be dissolved. I am loosening restrictions on corporations and making the country more capitalist. Private corporations are encouraged to build military vehicles and equipment. I am authorizing many more factories to be built, and a Bill of Rights is being drafted as we speak. A legislative assembly is also being created. Conservatives fear not, there will be no democracy in the sense of choosing leaders. Details are too NY to be revealed later. On another note, we formally declare independence from the communist nation of Yue. We refuse to let them have influence over us any longer. We are also giving citizens the right to bear arms. Guns and swords are going to be for sale from now on. I hope this has convinced more people to pledge their allegiance to me. Goodnight
