You missed the Ranshe Mei fun a few episodes back over Ranka's mom.
RANka SHEryl RANSHE!!!! anyway... Spoiler for Sheryl:
As an aside, I have read articles that Japan typically does grossly understate their crime statistics, as well as some scary things about their laws (which honestly may have changed) regarding detaining prisoners without charge (Napoleon laws) but um... I'm tired. |

Here's a University of Tokyo report on it Quote:
Dunno which country you are imagining, but the Japanese government officials and SDF officers I met during the three years I lived there on official business did not give off the impression that they are a weak state. Just ask their Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean neighbors. Quote:
As for law... well, all I have to say is don't get in trouble with the Japanese police. They can hold you for up to 48 hours without charge. If they feel like they got enough, then they can request an indictment from a prosecutor. The prosecutor has 24 hours to get a detention order from a judge, and then they got up to 20 more days to decide whether to file charges or not. Usually there are no bails for foreigners, and the detention facility condition is poor. I recall someone informed me that it was like "Lord of the Files." Since I only visited a post-sentencing jail with strict discipline on official tour, I can't say if the description of pre-trial detention facility is accurate or not. Regardless, I don't recommend going there. Last edited by Darial; 2008-07-29 at 02:36. |

Of all the years I have lived there, I can easily dispute your claim with many examples.
Never mind Japan is a very safe country, certainly not an easy accomplishment if it was as crime-ridden as you claim it to be. Not to mention Japan still has one of the best welfare systems in the world right now. Again making the case that the government is actually useful. In any case, with my experiences there, I can easily say that the Japanese government is in fact far more efficient and certainly more well rooted to the society than most others, even amongst First World Countries. Quote:
The Japanese self defense force is known for being the most effective armed forces in Asia. Obviously, the JSDF does not have numerical superiority, but its overall quality is an envy to its neighbors. Moreover, the Japanese navy, as well as its air force are the strongest in the region. There is no dispute in that. I do not know where you get your false impressions from, but I do suggest you read up some facts. - Tak

I probably know the JMSDF better than most people here in RL. All I can say is just because they chose to call a bazooka an air rifle doesn't change the fact it can still blow up tanks. Appearance (made to appease international sensitivities) can be very deceiving sometimes to the general public. Regrettably, the Chinese saw right through it, hence we're having a nice little naval arms race in NE Asia right now.

You peeps are all wrong. We, the Sheruminati, own this world.
And all your daughters will be our smex slaves. And the women that closely resemble Sheryl will be my personal smex slaves, I mean my wives - you gotta treat each incarnation with respect or she beats the crap outta you. She's not easy you know. Thursday is too long a wait...and then another Thursday. |

Back to Frontier politics, after the events in the game VF-X-2 IIRC, there should've been a shakeup in the UN Government, and then some more perhaps. Thus what we have in 2059 is the New UN Government.
Spoiler for earth vs colonies in anime:
