I would like to know how many of those who were brought here come from a place that is or used to be known as "Japan". Please reply to this message if you either are from a place that meets that description or know for certain about a person who is present in this place who fulfills this criterion.

11 will approach everyone who looks like they might be Japanese and greet them, hoping to get to ask his question. "Good day to you."

I was there for a tennis tournament and I guess some sight-seeing.

[subjugated]

I hope you liked the sights?

[imperceptible]

Wasn't the sights as much as the people. Japan's got some pretty amazing players.

[subjugated]

I assume that I the country of Japan would still be independent in your world?

[imperceptible]

Independent...? Yeah, of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?

[subjugated]

For all nations there is the possibility to fall to the superior strength of another nation.

[imperceptible]

Well yeah, but Japan hasn't been at war with anyone for like. Decades.

[subjugated]

This does not hold true in my place.

[imperceptible]

What do you mean?

[subjugated]

From what I have been able to gather, not all people in this place are from the same world, or rather, we do not share the same histories. Where I am from, the Japan that a modern foreigner could know has never been without a war for an extended amount of time.

[Yeah he... kinda guessed there was something Star Trek-y going on here already.]

Like what? WW3?

[subjugated]

I ...assume it would not be too unlikely to call it that.

[After all it is definitely a world wide conflict. Even though it is different from the other wars.]

[imperceptible]

Well what do you call it?

[subjugated]

The part that would be relevant here would be called Second Pacific War.

[imperceptible]

What was it even for? Because some guy pissed off someone else?

[subjugated]

You might argue that it always comes down to that in the end, but in this case it was more about the distribution of resources.
