Therefore, from this moment until otherwise stated, the region will be run by Burn Up Blade and Hsaur as new joint Kanreis of the region. The two will work together for the betterment of the region and I trust both of them explicitely. Both have been great for Feudal Japan since the beginning and my inactivity is only serving to drag the region down. Please join me in welcoming Hsaur and Burn up Blade officially to the duties they have done so well with on their own. Again my apologies. Nobunaga." His nation eventually ceases to exist, on April 27th 2006.
