Chapter 10
The reason why there were so many wars in Japan was that the Nip civilization was kind of qfeudal,
2For about two thousand years,
3rWhich maybe aren’t quite up yet,
4sUnless they are,
5tEven if it doesn’t look that way,
6To anybody but a Nip.
7Anyway,
8uThe Nip emperor depended on the help of a lot of Nip nobles,
9vWho owned land,
10wAnd peasants,
11xAnd a whole bunch of samurai,
12Which meant that things could get complicated,
13Every once in a awhile,
14Which is the way things go,
15Civilization being what it is.
