History:
In 1603, a Tokugawa shogunate (military dictatorship) ushered in a long period of isolation from foreign influence in order to secure its power. For 250 years this policy enabled Japan to enjoy stability and a flowering of its indigenous culture. Following the Treaty of Kanagawa with the United States in 1854, Japan opened its ports and began to intensively modernize and industrialize. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Japan became a regional power that was able to defeat the forces of both China and Russia. It occupied Korea, Formosa (Taiwan), and southern Sakhalin Island. In 1933 Japan occupied Manchuria and in 1937 it launched a full-scale invasion of China. Japan attacked US forces in 1941 - triggering America's entry into World War II - and soon occupied much of East and Southeast Asia. After its defeat in World War II, Japan recovered to become an economic power and a staunch ally of the US. While the emperor retains his throne as a symbol of national unity, actual power rests in networks of powerful politicians, bureaucrats, and business executives. The economy experienced a major slowdown starting in the 1990s following three decades of unprecedented growth, but Japan still remains a major economic power, both in Asia and globally. In 2005, Japan began a two-year term as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council and has finally joined the UN Security Council in the present year, 2020, undergoing a stagnant economic reform and a slightly more increased focus on defense spending.

We wish you strength and prosperity as well as the power to defend yourselves against enemies closeby.
Therefore we will divulge the plans and technology to our newest Main Battle Tank, the Cataphract, currently the most powerful known MBT in the world, since your armour is limited and consists mainly of older American units.
We have also been secretly making a new production line of main battle tanks to replace the old M3 Abrams MBTs used mostly in the empire. It is codenamed the "Cataphract", and around 100 have already made. General Ali Rafsanji hopes for it to replace all MBTs in the various armor groups of the Royal army eventually, though this will take a while, especially with money invested in other projects. For now the Cataphracts will receive their own smaller seperate group heading for combat.
It is to date, the most heavily armored main battle tank in the world, and carries the most powerful tank gun on a conventional tank to date, a 180mm cannon, with light support from a 3-barrel 35mm machine gun at the front.

Neo Nusantara extends it's hand in friendship and wishes to form a military alliance with Japan, also free trade between our nations could help in the strengthening of bonds between our people. The military pact shall have the same conditions as that of Persian and Japan.

Japan is still considering both of the above offers.
