While his nom de guerre is GeneralSmoker it is unclear if he truly is a general of an army which smokes, he smokes and is a general of an army, he will smoke almost anything, he cures via the process of smoking anything, generally smolders a lot, or just happens to like One Piece.

Recent development have shown that while a tactical genius he may be to have been able to wrest control of minglongland from minglong, GeneralSmoker's strategic vision may need further development. Flying in the face of everything Machiavelli espoused, GeneralSmoker employed many mercenaries (most famously PlusVee, and her keeper OsisNie), stayed away from the conquered kingdom for prolonged periods of time, and all around far too generous and benevolent. As a result, not enough preparation was put in place for when the inevitable disaster, triggered by the foreign mortgage-backed credit crunch, occurred. His mercenaries fled, and GeneralSmoker was left in a severely compromised position.

Once again showing his tactical genius though, GeneralSmoker was able to salvage his position, notably with a judicious use of partisan fighters which sprung up in response to the premature launching of Plan D, and is currently in a power-sharing agreement with minglong. Pundits claim he has absolutely no intention to launch a counter-counter-coup (a Plan D-D-D if you will, as apparently Plan D-D had already been trademarked before GeneralSmoker hypothetically didn't officially think of the idea). Nope. None at all. Of course not. That would just be silly.

Surprisingly, young Gohan's still services proved invaluable in that he provided the flag pole from which GeneralSmoker placed his flag of victory. Thus Gohan gained credit for being half the founding pair of the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship (GeneralSmoker providing the other pendent half of the flag).

Purportedly to reward him for his beneficent timing, GeneralSmoker gave young Gohan authority over all modest plot of land across the channel. (Modern research has recently suggested that this was in fact a plot by OsisNie to remove any competitors to his power, but OsisNie has steadfastly denied any such plots.) Gohan happily accepted stewardship of the land GeneralSmoker offered, and thus took the title of Daimao. (Psychologists think this is a perverted spelling of "daimyo" caused by Gohan's childhood traumas.) There he remains to this day happily daimaoing (we don't know either, ask Gohan_Daimao) the land, except for when his presence is required in the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship due to GeneralSmoker's strict alternative attendance system.

Possibly as a result of this limited attendance, Gohan_Daimao doesn't seem to be aware of recent political developments in the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship. His closest advisors seem to prefer things this way as they can skim off extra tribute without his knowing, and top officials of the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship don't want to break the illusion lest this be the spark which triggers a Gohan_Daimao Rebellion and the inevitable end of the last samurai in all of the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship.

Previously his presence was presented in a present presence of absence, having traveled to the land of created war to further his skills; undoubtedly regaling everybody in earshot about his supposed fifty-first provincial conquest of minglongland. However he has since returned, having honed his skills to better serve GeneralSmoker (as well as gained the credibility and knowledge to overthrow GeneralSmoker and reform the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship in his own image, but that is a secret... shh...).

Unbeknownst to OsisNie though, while he was away, minglong's semi-successful (albeit premature) launching of Plan D had resulted in a fundamentally different power structure of the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship. Ever the consummate politician and tactician, OsisNie immediately came up with a counter-plan. While supposable supporting the new world order, OsisNie has modeled a new counter-play for power based off of minglong's successful Plan D, called Plan E (having checked in the trademark office and seen D-D, D-D-D, D Day, D Cup, and D Iv were all trademarked).

OsisNie has found several people "LFG" and surrounded himself with several newly-promoted and loyal minions. However as it is a "PUG", he is currently "LFM" until he has enough to run a "raid", although he needs to do this carefully lest the increased attention draw the "aggro" of either minglong or GeneralSmoker and his conspiracy be "wiped" before it reaches fruition, not to mention the constant danger it be stumbled upon by a "pat". (#nipponsei benevolent dictatorship linguists are befuddled at several of these terms, and are currently investigating their meaning and etymology, quite possibly buying OsisNie some valuable needed time.)

While there have been minor reports of tension between OsisNie and CLASSIFIEDdivCLASSIFIED, most often over ^ and her (at the time of this writing) splits (usually banana), the nature and extent of these conflicts vary from report to report, and can not be substantially substantiated.

She looks up to OsisNie, who she looks up to as an authority figure, and under his careful tutelage has been learning new tricks. Three notable tricks among others are her fortune telling abilities, her ability to appraise almost anything, and her astounding memory. She can frequently can be found quoting memorable statements she has overheard, usually to the amusement of the general population and the embarrassment of the one who said the line.

Following the recent counter-coup of the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship, PlusVee has found a new interest in exploring and charting the unknown regions of minglongland and very occasionally opening up an appropriate location as a tourist site for the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship population. While this is officially being done for the betterment of all of the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship, some have found it suspicious she steadfastly refuses to share any information she discovers about the land to anybody except for OsisNie.

There is some hidden rivalry between PlusVee and ^, which has been compared before as a fight between a ergonomic chair and a penguin. It is unclear who is the chair and who is the penguin. When asked about this directly, PlusVee responded "* PlusVee brands ^: []". What this means is currently under investigation.

In more recent times, it can be confirmed he lent his support to GeneralSmoker after finding him with a picture and a paragraph. What kassatsu gets out of this arrangement we aren't sure, although bystanders remember hearing about northern constellations and fists a lot when they first met. Recent (unconfirmed) rumors about this secretive man include him traveling abroad to further the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship's ends, doing things such as ripping throats, building robots (suggesting he might be hedging his bets against a minglongian counter-coup), and buying off certain deities (such as CLASSIFIEDdivCLASSIFIED).

Strangely though, kassatsu could not be found during minglong's premature launching of Plan D. It is widely thought that if kassatsu had even just sent a photograph of his face to the right person, he could have stopped the counter-coup before it even started. We can only hypothesize that somehow kassatsu was somehow involved not only with the most recent overthrow of minglongland, but with this most recent plotted and semi-successful counter-coup. To what end though is unclear. Conspiracy theorists suggest that kassatsu might actually be playing minglong and GeneralSmoker against each other, although it is difficult to discover to what end as every time somebody gets close to revealing what might really be going on he or she mysteriously disappears. Putting the evidence all together though, the most likely explanat

Specifically, minglong had used the time and the (albeit lowly respected) position to develop and instigate a Plan D, namely Robot. (The connection between Plan "D" and "Robot" remains unclear even after the fact.) minglong generated a Nippon| robotic army, which are useful to infiltrate the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship's administrative functions to isolate and eventually overthrow GeneralSmoker, raise the profile and popular support for minglong, and/or EX-TERMINATE ALL HUMANS!!. Despite having a few kinks to work out of the bots (to the dismay of some unnamed unpersons of the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship) the monetary collapse of the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship presented a golden opportunity which minglong could not afford to pass up, and thus began the premature launch of Plan D.

The plan was mostly successful, although the imperfection of the bots and the incompletion of the take over of all military functions (particularly the remaining presence of ^) allowed for the creation of a largely successful partisan army. As a result, rather than a complete counter-coup, minglong only resulted in a partial ousting of GeneralSmoker, and was forced to engage in a power-sharing agreement with him.

minglong is currently continuing to control and build the bots, purportedly to maintain the peace of the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship. And of course it is inconceivable that minglong is actually planning on completely removing GeneralSmoker from the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship. Nope. None at all. Of course not. That would just be silly.

There has been some tension between minglong and ^. minglong is currently unofficially trying to remove ^ by means sparking antagonism between OsisNie and ^, in the hopes that OsisNie will properly teach PlusVee the necessary abilities so she can capitalize on her dislike of ^ and thus precipitate the removal of ^ by PlusVee and the creation of a power vacuum which can be filled by Nippon|minglong, and thus be in a position to finally oust Generalsmoker once and for all (for the third time) and restore the glory that was once minglongland.

As a result of these unholy, ungodly, unnatural, unreal, but otherwise fun experiments, ^ is now a shell of a person, reacting unconsciously to most stimuli subjected upon her. One particular favorite of hers is to put on glasses and hug the person acting upon her from behind, possibly as an unconscious manifestation of CLASSIFIEDdiv'sCLASSIFIED hypothetical meganeko tendencies. (Note that His meganeko tendencies are purely hypothetical, and are one of the subjects of investigation of Him.)

Generally considered less popular but more useful to PlusVee, she (at the time of writing) stands as the lowest among the Inner Circle (plus CLASSIFIEDdivCLASSIFIED Himself) of the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship, her unquestionable loyalty to CLASSIFIEDdivCLASSIFIED, to whom she has a "fear-and-adore" relationship as well as her unquestionable usefulness has put a hamper in minglong's attempts of subverting the #nipponsei benevolent dictatorship. The importance of this ladder breaker was shown most recently in the minglongian counter-coup, in which the unswerving loyalty of ^ to CLASSIFIEDdivCLASSIFIED resulted in the failure of minglong to fully prevent the creation of an insurgency.
