Aki Akimoto: Woman of Duality and Confusion, New Edo Project, Blahaj Inc founded, Partial Mobilization, The Edo Theory and more | IANO

          Aki Akimoto, the Woman of Duality and Confusion and our take on the North American-European War. 

   Aki Akimoto, the leader of the Ajakon Confederation and former senator of The Japanese Isles, is a woman of mystery and yet laidbackness. She has been steering the very nation we live in into the North American-European War, as it’s mainly the ASPA vs the Soviet Federation, Iberia, and their allies. This war was watched by Ajakon Strategy Forums and the Ajakon Armed Forces, as it became suddenly known that the Ajakon Government had funded the Iberian forces, making many citizens and foreign diplomats, still reeling from the Soviet-Ajakon Split, wonder if the Ajakon Confederation was going to enter the war on the ASPA side, and many citizens took to the streets protesting and in some cases asking for a war like this, which would surely devastate Asia and Europe, self-destructing Ajako and Soviet in the world stage and military strength.

    These citizens, and us, were suddenly hit with the Treaty of Friendship announcement, where the Iberian Union switched sides of the war, siding with the very nation that declared war on it and allying with the Soviets. This has still been going on, as the war has started to spread into the rest of Europe, mainly between France and Italy, but other information has come to light, that the UEC would possibly intervene, an alliance seen as a paper tiger by Ajakon Strategists, until they realized the treaty web meant that it was most of Asia, along with Soviet, in a single alliance.

    Aki Akimoto has refused to give us a word on what her plan is, however, many people think we are still aligned with the ASPA about this, but Aki Akimoto has seemly steered us to support Sedrosia. Knowing Aki Akimoto, she may not even get us involved, but multiple military thank tanks suggest we are going on a war path on our interest’s side, as a partial mobilization has been ordered, and multiple wings of aircraft have been rebased to our ally, The Sedrosian Empire. 

          Blåhaj Inc. founded

   After finding a 70-year-old shark stuffy that her great-grandmother used to own and was passed down to her; a woman named Alexis Tsujino has started a company dedicated to making these shark stuffies in many different sizes, from minihaj to infinihaj. She has named the stuffy company Blåhaj Inc. The entire list of sizes of Blåhajs are listed here: Minihaj, Smallhaj, Mediumhaj, Normalhaj, Largehaj, Very Largehaj, and Inifnihaj. This company has already gotten 50 million preorders from across the world, including Austria, Ajako, and even places like Vostok Station(A former Russian research station that is now under the direction of the Ajakon Science and Technology Department and if the Soviet Federation wants to, the Ajakon Confederation will allow Soviet Scientists to research Antarctica alongside Ajakon Scientists). 

        New Edo Project

   Edo, formerly known and normally popularly known outside of the Ajakon Confederation as Tokyo, has been through a lot, including heavy fighting in every civil war of The Japanese Isles, being the heaviest hit city by the tsunami of The Collapse started by the terrorist state known as Eden’s Gate, An Antimatter bomb from RoDevs, leveling all of downtown Edo and killing an estimated 3 million people, and the near razing of Edo by military forces in a crazy crisis where dead bodies came alive. These crises have made Japanese/Ajakon citizens wary of Edo, and as such, the Greater Edo Metropolitan Area has fallen from 37,194,000 Pre Balkanization to approximately 6 million as of 2094, a mere 16% of what it used to be, with Sendai, Aomori, and Osaka becoming largest cities in Ajako, constantly switching titles at all around 10 million in their metropolitan areas. Edo is also experiencing major population loss, as people are still afraid of Edo, as major bad events always happen in Edo for enigmatic reasons. Maybe it’s just the universe’s laugh at us. 

    However, hope for Edo is not gone, as the Economic and Civil Engineering Department of the Ajakon Confederation has announced the New Edo project, where almost 50 billion Ajakon Yen will be slowly released to rebuild Edo and provide incentives for both immigration and relocation to Edo. This project will hopefully rebuild Edo in a fashion to compete with the world cities, such as London, Kyoto, Toronto (Canada, correct me please), Moscow, and many others. 

        Partial Mobilization in the Atlantic to defend Ajakon Cargo Ships. 

   As Ajakon interests in the Atlantic are threatened, and the Sedrosian Empire (An Ajakon ally) is possibly threatened, the Ajakon European and Atlantic fleets (along with the Nicaraguan Fleet) and fighters and other long-range aircraft have been mobilized to escort Ajakon Cargo ships to their ports of call, including Iberian ports, British ports, Sedrosian ports, German Federal ports, Italian ports, and Soviet ports. If any Ajakon ships are attacked, the Ajakon Confederation will swiftly move to strike back at the attackers. Despite this, the Ajakon Confederation remains confident in the fact that there will be no strikes on Ajakon-flagged vessels. Once again, if Ajakon ships are attacked by any entity, the result will be swift and judgmental. 

        The Edo Theory (Opinionated Article by Keni Oka, her final article with the IANO)

   A popular theory that has been circulating recently in Ajakon forums and universities is the Edo Theory, where Orbis is simply a simulated world for a turn-based video game, where a group of teenagers or young adults control our world, bending our reality for their pleasure. I believe this theory, as I have been in multiple situations where I should have died, but didn’t, including a stab wound to the chest. Despite popular opinion among theorists, the Edo Theory is believed by many people to be a hoax spread by a bunch of bored teenagers who play a nation simulation game where they play with a world called ‘Earth’. That’s all I have for you, and I thank you for reading all the articles I’ve written.  

        ‘Micro’Headlines

• Keni Oka retires to pursue a career in writing books, releases book.
• Aki Akimoto speaks out on the Edo Theory, calling it “Based yet Baseless, and a useless waste of brain cells.”
• Densetsu no Fune suffered a major reactor meltdown due to sabotage by Ainu terrorists and limped back to port on only 2 of its 8 reactors. It is currently under containment for possible radioactive contamination. 
• The widow of Haruto Taji committed suicide and as such, a flag half-mast has been ordered for all Ajakon households, government buildings, and anything that can go half-mast. This includes Ajakon Embassies across the world. A mourning period of a week has been set
• Mitsubishi Heavy Industries sued by the Army of the Ajakon Confederation for supplying them with substandard versions of the Type 93 Yakoi, and such, a recall of all Type 93 Yakois has been issued, in fears of all of them being substandard, with possible turret defects and engine issues. 
• For the first time in history, Ajakon Confederal top-line naval ships have been transferred to a non-allied nation, the Soviet Federation. It received 5 Shachi class destroyers and 5 Mizu class AA frigates in exchange for trade benefits and the sharing of tech developments in Soviet with Ajakon Scientists.
• A Medical Milestone: Ajakon Medical Scientists have put out a recent article, documenting reliable cures they have found for half of all currently known cancers. These scientists are hoping they can increase the horrible age expectancy of Orbis, even though the constant war is most likely the reason.
