And on her first week as Prime Minister of Japan, Empress Noriko, Representative of the Imperial Palace has passed into law major reforms on a variety of topics:
Firstly, Polyamorous Marriage has passed into law. When asked how this will affect tax policy, she said that was for the tax man to figure out, stating the point of this law is to reduce barriers to non-standard families, and to diversify the ways in which love can be expressed in Japan. And nodded to it as a means to try and help boost the declining birthrate.
Secondly, drug reform has been put in place, with a general sweep of investigation of more complicated drugs and drug policy to be investigated, and reforms to be proposed. At bare minimum, Marijuana and LSD and select Mushrooms will be moved to general sale and consumption by the public, along with a push for an increase of safe and consensual hypnosis. Also, drug tests on two drugs developed by YUGGOTH and Black Velvet are being performed: Ambrosia, a general euphoria inducing drug, and Persona, a drug meant to be taken to help induce fugue states. The government will be investigating their general application.
Thirdly, the Empress signed orders to accelerate the national adoption of VRASHai, VRASHos, VRASHtagram, VRASHsky, and other Japanese (and allied states) programs, citing national security, as the Chinese and American governments become increasingly difficult to contact.
She's also cited a need for the nation to have stricter controls on media, citing the seeming turmoil around the world as well as the danger caused by potentially non-human actors that may wish to endanger the country and its citizens.
Critics continue to complain the Empress has effectively subverted democracy, turning the nation into a constitutional monarchical dictatorship, but the Empress has offered them tickets to Black Velvet spas and resorts. And when asked about it herself, the Empress said "Sometimes, there can be a little too much democracy, and we need to break the logjams that have plagued the country for the last few decades. Also, I think I might have chipped a nail..."
