As written of the P. Japanese in Paislian Literature:

Lady Barbara vacations in the 1940's. "Life seemed to be getting much more settled in Paisley Palace, Until Barbara's Champions, The Order of the Argent Dragon, had been called into battle to protect the Faerie Amoret, Daughter of the Sun. The Order of the Argent Dragon sucessfully protected Amoret and in turn, the Paislians gained respect and became favored by Venus, the Sun, and the rest of Amoret's family."

Of Stripey Glen and the War that Never Was:

A blatant violation of the Belley Rule. Before the treaty that brought Paisley Japan into Paisley Glen's sphere of influence, it was ruled by the Countess of Titipu, on behalf of the Mikado of Paisley Japan, from a small island known as Stripey Glen. This countess was none other than the Lady Barbara Ragle, who had fled thence after the collapse of Paisley Germany. Her chief general was known as General Stripey, but everyone knew that he, the Red Baron of Paisley Tokyo, was in fact Lord Alucard Cuervo, her consort. The P. Japanese, a savage and warlike race, sent many threatening messages to Lord Edmund and the other Glenizens of the time. The threatened tackiness of their draperies was too much indignity for Lord Edmund to bear. He fired off missives left and right, and set Smegford and Amarantha to constructing whatever weapons they could. Sadly, many of these turned out to be Boffer Potatoes, which are very nearly useless in a fight. Edmund attempted to drum up support from Paisley Rome, and Paisley Japan called upon their old countrymen in Paisley Argentina. Both sides were ready for war. The day the first battle was scheduled to take place, neither sides' allies turned up. With each side being therefore too weak to fight, the leaders embaressdly turned to diplomacy. The result? Paisley Japan became a duchy of the Glen, with the caveat that they could remain entirely separate if they wished.
