Japan is the most indebted nation of the developed world and is by far the most difficult nation to play in Democracy 4. In this narrated challenge we will attempt to balance Japan’s 1.3 trillion billion yen debt using austerity… but is this even possible? This video was recorded on the latest Democracy 4 update, including the Democracy 4 nation pack DLC, and is the latest in a series exploring the political potential of every major country on Earth. Enjoy the latest AlzaboHD CK3 video!

love your videos alzabo
I cant find your clan, there's no results found?
Does clash really need more players, damn
Yo, the leader of the happiness party died the day after this video. What the heck happened?
@@pufl_ no shit, he actually just wants you to pay him to install the game.
I think "Democracy" is the most ironic name for a game where the most fun is had perverting the ideals of democracy.
Russia.jpg
Since Democracy is “freedom”, people can freely make the country a communist or fascist if the majority desires
Just like real democracy
Hitler came into power through a majority vote, and we all know that was the most fun democracy had ever gotten.
@@ryantutt1045 nah the « real » democracy you’re talking about is capitalist democracy-
For anyone curious, this game actually undervalues Japanese debt by about 99.9%, as it is closer to 1.3 quadrillion yen, or about 10 trillion US Dollars.
What the actual hell? Considering the drastic measures that Alzabo took to remove the debt, how does Japan plan to pay it's debt IRL?
@@AbdulGoodLooks From what I understand they actually increased consumption taxes by about double, and that was pretty much it lol. Most of the debt (about 40%) is held by the Bank of Japan too, so if they default their economy is well and truly screwed. Honestly, it is just a result of bad luck. They had economic destruction left over from WW2, they had a bad economic meltdown in the 90s, and they have had several disasters such as the 2011 Fukushima Disaster and the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami that have sapped their funds, to the point where they really have no way out.
@@kingzog4400 There is a way out, it just requires extremely unpopular policies and accepting their country's quality of life will not increase for a long time. Honestly they would probably be doing pretty well had their birth rates not crashed and burned, their population could be at over 200 million rn.
@@kingzog4400 Wow you mentioned all of that and you still did not actually mention the reason why they are totally screwed
There will no longer be much Japs left in this world except old grannies and grandpas on their death bed in a few decades, for each 25 year old there will be two 75 year olds. the Japanese economy, was built for short term profit and longterm collapse, like many of the other economies right now, for example Germany has the same exact issue as Japan, but unlike Japan, Germany is a parasite country, actually better yet, a leech country that relays on immigration for population and new skilled workforce by braindraining their poorer neighbors, as the Germans themselves are on the extinction table. Japs on the other hand still have some sort of honour (minus the anime) so they do not accept much immigration the only way to salvation for the Japs is: 1- Mandatory de-urbanization 2-Mandatory de-industrialization 3-Mandatory impregnation facilities for like 10 to 20 years, and then they can return to normal. the reason for deurbanization is to drive up the birthrates, as no city had a replaceable birthrate in history ever. for de-industrialization then that is not necessary per-say but will be if you want to deurbanize, you can still industrialize town by town but it will be times inefficient to just focusing on a few major cities. for mandatory impregnation I was honestly just meming, deurbanization and deindustrialization will restore the birthrates on their own without issue, it just might be not as fast as would be needed for Japan to stand back on its feet, so if the Jappies want a fighting chance in a world that would eat them up if they ever showed weakness then they'd need as many new Japanese as fast as possible.
you essentially turned the clock back on japan about 100 years
No debt no worries!
@@AlzaboHD I suppose there can't be any debt if all the debt collectors have been conscripted for eternity.
Back? More like forward.
Japan just orders to erase its own debts.
you turned japan into a dystopian corporatocracy, nice
He turned Japan into Japan
@@_6HavoK9 Japan (1939) (anime edition)
He turned Japan into modern day America.
So he basically created the overlord Japan
Well that's Japan before WW2
It’s crazy how much you do fucked up things when it’s a game. It’s genuinely like Ender’s Game
The founder of Happy Science, Ryuho Okawa died shortly after this video was released, Alzabo out here predicting the future!
This political ideology defies categorisation. But we know Alzabo's videos are always great.
Klepto-Pinnochet Environmentalism. Kleptocracy = basically stealing all a country’s worth. Pinnochetism = extreme authoritarian capitalism. Environmentalism = well obviously.
Honestly it's basically what Imperial Japan was. Ultranationalist, highly militarized, and featuring an insane level of cooperation between giant private corporations and the state. The only thing that's out of place is the environmentalism tbh.
It is the Rush Debt = 0 ideology.
Alzaboo's Japan was like: "Legalize nuclear bombs"
Call the fire department, we just nuked the debt
Damn, wonder what Shinzo Abe is gonna think
Not a whole lot nowadays :)
Shinzo abe would prob think something like "banzai"
His abenomics were atrocious. ok maybe not they were actually pretty decent but I kid you not, he wanted to drive up the birthrates and guess what he did? he allowed more women into the workforce to momentarily boost the GDP. honestly a pure retarded move. if you want birthrates you need women at the house not wasting their youth in offices getting abused by their bosses or what not lmao.
He was assassinated in july 2022
@@fernandoluis5117 apologies, but that was the intended joke behind the comment
Yes, you can.
Nothing is impossible!
@@PillowWillow007 Not for him
Alzabo tries to rule a nation without turning into the next North Korea (impossible)
North Korea is communist state were private ownership is severely restricted. He made a free-market fascist state.
I genuinely didn’t expect a 26 min video about a political game can be so absurd & make me laugh so much at 3 am
funny how the founder of happy science coincidentally died the same day this video was uploaded look up ryuho okawa
NOT AGAIN! The day after my "live a long life CK3" video aired (with a joke about Charles being an old heir) the Queen died! And he became King! I need to stop uploading videos lol
@@AlzaboHD make a video about russia
@@krystofkarda4170 AHAHAHAH that is a good one.
Ah, a democracy 4 video just what I needed right now :D
He just created a neo-Showa era Japan. That's basically what this is lol.
Sumary: How to fix Japan's economy? Just revive a 21st centuty version of the Japaneese Empire.
ban anime? that's the biggest crime against humanity!
I haven't watched him in a while since the celtic ck3 video where he got a little memey. Now I can see he has completely gone from professional to FUNKY!!
is this Cyberpunk 2077 lore?
I personally love when you play Democracy 4, you're the only KZhead who I watch this content from as well. Great Video!
Happy to see more Democracy 4 from you! I will always watch these
I love the use of the PSO 2 ost. Nostalgic
I'd love to see a game played from when you got rid of debt trying to re-introduce socialised policies
I have been waiting for more of this game
Love your content, man
the advanced wars music forever ingrained in my brain love it!
Another high quality video by alzabohd! Also how the hell did you get a clash of clans sponsorship?
Is that the PSO ost that I’m hearing? I knew I recognized it somewhere Pioneer 2 theme gives me some good memories
Love the throwback to Advance Wars. Such an amazing strategy game.
Advance Wars! Loved that game back in the day.
Indeed you can, good job.
That’s the first time I’ve ever seen my name in a KZhead video, im not co producer tier so it’s someone else but I still had to double take when I read that
As a Japanese, I say HAI!! To your humorous Japanese references.
You can do it! I Belivie in you
Bro made real life mirror's edge.
Great video 👍
If I am being honest, compulsory work for the unemployed feels like a cop out to avoid dealing with unemployment, it is kinda OP in my opinion.
Bro made night city but with less crime
Video: The entirety of Friendship Democratic Party (20th Century Boys) explained using Democracy 4
Great music choice!
the ai art in the background is looking good
Cheers! I'm glad you like them, wanted to add some extra flavor to this series.
@@AlzaboHD it definitely does! at first i thought it was an "event screen" from the game until i read the ai art part at the bottom ^^
What ai art generator got used?

Switzerland is neutral not pacifist they spend quite a lot of GDP on defense.
Bro turned japan into Guangdong from TNO.
Really enjoyed the Advance Wars music :D
"we've blasted toward authoritarian capitalism, and while things may seem less than ideal..." Hey, I know this one - it's the United States
Music from best game of my early years❤
When you say Gozaimasu, the U at the end is kind of silent, Just saying Gozaimas will likely produce the intended sound.
Your kitty is amazingly fluffy and cute
Thanks for teaching us how to turn Japan into China.
I want another Advanced war game now. Also yellow sun has the most busted COs
Cool vid bro
"the flesh is weak" lol
Dude unironically built the galactic empire
Damn I didn't know how cool this game was
Hehe, Advanced Wars Kanbei. Love it!
cool vid bro
Where is new video
nice vid!
Once AlzaboHD bans fe male drivers, you know he’s on the path to achieving his goal for the video

How about for the next Democracy 4, you play Turkey.
Turkey aint a democracy fuck erdogan
turkish people try not to shill for turkey challenge (impossible)
@@Smileyreal challange succeeded. For I, am not Turkish.
I was waiting for 1984. “Thought Crime” made it clear.
I like the fact you used sound bites from Vent harassment Oh dude 4 strength 4 Stan leather belt uhhh oooooooooo
LEVEL 18!? AAUUUGH OOOOH!
@@AlzaboHD I have been waiting for years for someone to use those sound bites... and then they absolutely know about it... well played sir.
I like how the game puts Reagan, Trump and Putin in the same political corner.
“No state for me, keep the market free!”
At first i was like "wtf are you doing?!" Lol
I dunno about you guys but it sounds like a S tier anime plot !
Well done Alzabo, well done. *HOWEVER...* I'm sure that the challenge of making Great Britain an actually nice place to live is well beyond your skill.
22:35 u meant 146% approval
A good video to watch at 3:00 AM
Bro turned Japan to Türkiye but rich. Congrats man!
Play as the UK next!
Ban anime = "+ Health". Very unbiased policy. /s
I was somehow okay with it all until he resumed whaling...
This game and its predecessors way of portraying government debt always really annoys me. How has noone involved in the development of this read anything about M0 debt? Or spoken to anyone who handles ways and means? This is not difficult information to find! Japan does not pay anywhere near 28.3% of its budget on interest (real figure is 10.95%). On it's newer debt it even gets paid interest as it issues negative interest bonds!
Agreed, that's one reason I stopped playing around with it. It gets ludicrous when the *only thing* border checks do is "Increase hostility of minorities". Like, I get it, it mostly just annoys people, but really? Removing even cursory customs examinations somehow doesn't lead to major increases in smuggling, but DECREASES?
@@AlphaNumericKeyit’s almost like the game was made to push certain ideologies.
@@stevemadden3642 this
@@stevemadden3642 Every game always includes the ideologies of its makers.
On the one hand, this is a horrific dystopia. But he did get Nintendo to make a new F-Zero game, so we should stay the course
This series is cool
Cheers! Thanks for the support
@@AlzaboHDwe'll save Japan with THE SECOND JAPANESE EMP... Ejem ejem, "neo-conservative ideas"
Arasaka loves it
Happy June 20th 2023!
CoC is going on a sponsor spree at the moment, really doing there best to be the new Raid Shadow Legends
This is funny AF😂
There's a new Vic 3 update
Looks great! Will check it out
i hate this video with every cell of my body good work
I can only imagine what Mishima would think of this
Japan but the Phantom Thieves failed hard
Wow, I genuinly didn't think you could make Japan worse then what the Conservative party had been doing. But apparently? You can!
It's scary how more effectively you can govern a nation if you don't care about the people you govern, isn't it?
I could turn a blind eye to everything, except the American cheese
Alzabo, you said I (me and everyone else) could join your clan. *WHERE IS IT*
do you use an AI to voice your vids?
does it sound like AI?
Doumo Arigatou Mr Roboto
The Compassionate group really is really the Moral 😇 group, but the developer doesn't want to admit the bad guys have them.
I did not enjoy playing this game, only watching it
0:22 Did you mean million billion?
Yes we Kanbei!
Papal States Italy run?
