  1. AHC: Ezo Republic survives

    I recently learned of the Ezo Republic, and it seems like a fascinating potential topic to me. The first question I have is, how could they survive? It seems they had French backing, at least partway, so could the French potentially step up their involvement? I don't know how powerful the...
