여기 한국인 있어요.

Korean here.

There couldn't. There were like assassination, protests, and bunch of bat shit crazy shit happened. There were pros and cons of Japanese occupation. Korea was modernized/industrialized by modern Japanese techs and stuff.

However, just like any other colonies, Japanese treated us like shits. Such as forcefully changing people's names to Japanese names, stole people's rice and land, tried to steal our Buddhist relics and send it to Japan, infamous comfort women, ect…. Eventually leading to obvious uprising.

>tfw no Korea flag in /his/

Kill the able bodied men, and rape the women. They'll obey a strong and burly dom who puts them in their place

I guess I can make a bit of contribution in this thread. For starter, I was born and raised in Sarawak, "the Land of the White Rajah", as National Geographic once called it. We still welcome the current pretenders and doesn’t shoo them away despite what the libruls want you to believe. Our newspaper from time to time writes about those old days, with a touch of nostalgia. I do find it funny that the critics of the White Rajahs mainly come from outsiders.

OK. You managed to get hold of a country. How are you going to cement your rule and make them fight for you?

Well, for starters, you have to expect a couple decades of unrest. Natives aren't just going to look at you and say "he looks like someone we should follow".

Of course, to keep yourself together in these 20 years or so of hardship, you need people under you. You must employ people who are pursuing something greater than material well-being. For example, soldiers who want to repent because of the way the British did to the Native Americans couple of century ago. You need these kinds of people to wake up at 5 am every single day and work until 8 pm. Also try your best to get rid of people whose goals are not aligned with yours.

Speaking of material well-being, the next thing you need to worry about is finance. See, here’s your dilemma:

1. You want to rule over the natives and then let them fight for you.

2. The natives aren’t so stupid just to let some money-grubbing white people to grab their wealth and go away.

3. Hence, you need to get rid of the thought of exploiting the natives for material gain.

4. However, if there’s no material profit to be gained, why should anyone finance your quest?

This is no small matter, anon. The first of the English Rajahs, Sir James Brooke, became senile at the end of his life because of this and tried to get rid of his country as fast as he could. However, no great power wanted it simply because the country wasn’t making money. Finance is important for obvious reason. To maintain a certain level of stability, to pay the people under you, to pay the neighbouring rulers so that they won’t interfere, etc.

Now, to get money, the easiest is to say you’re on a quest to turn the heathens to Christ. However, you need to be careful because this might upset the natives. The best way is to set limit to the would-be evangelist. Who cares if they call you an atheist, you have a mission to rule! This is not a stable source of finance. It depends on the whims of people who couldn’t care less about you.

Alright, you want a stable source of income. Bring in immigrants! Hey, those Ming Chinese want to escape China, so why not bring them here. However, as contemporary European politics have shown us, this can backfire badly. At first, yeah, it’s awesome getting all those money. This would entice further immigrants to come because they see opportunity in your country. Before you know it, there are immigrants everywhere and your natives start complaining. Since your goal is to rule and have the natives fight for you, you need to take the side of the natives and limit the rights of these immigrants.

These immigrants would feel they are unwelcomed and oppressed and would form their own pseudo-nation. These would further alienate the immigrants from your natives and before you know it, they hate each other. Before you know it, violence erupts and immigrants were killed by the natives. This would turn your country from a centre of immigration to a centre of emigration. The innocent immigrants would feel threatened and try to run away from your country. And with it, your labour and your sweet money. The solution seems to be, instead of bringing 5000 immigrants in 5 years, why not bringing in 5000 immigrants over the span of 50 years.

>C-crap, anon. This is way too difficult!

Oh, we haven’t even got into the topic of dealing with your mother country. Your parliaments, the public in your mother country, your neighbours, neighbouring European powers, the Tories and the Labour who hates you for whatever reason, and many others. And most importantly, how to deal with those squabbling natives who like to fight each other.

>Well, it’s going to be easy after 20 years of tribulation, right?

OK, sure. If you did things right for the past 20 years, the natives wouldn’t be that much of a problem. Now, the problem is your neighbour, and other jealous colleagues. And lastly, Sir James Brooke died a broken man. I doubt he’s happy for the last couple of years of his life. Sure, in the end, he managed to rule over the natives and were able to make them fight for him, but was it really worth it, anon?

I’m tired of writing now. Maybe I’ll continue later on.

Take up the White Man's burden, Ye dare not stoop to less—

Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloak your weariness;

By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do,

The silent, sullen peoples Shall weigh your gods and you.

I doubt spirits exist in this world, but if they do, I want the spirit of Sir James to know that the silent, sullen peoples have benefited greatly from his quest.
