Ah, the memories. Why is my room not on here?

(PS: 8.2 Billion Pounds? That kind of money was unheard of back then. The number "billion" had not yet been conceived. Think smaller, more realistic. The gun racks are all flintlock muskets, used primarily from 1660 to 1840. Guns from the 14th century were very impractical and looked dramatically different. Even through the 16th century, guns still didn't look like those on the rack, they were much smaller, matchlocks. Particularly, the arquebus, which was the first gun introduced to Japan in 1542 by shipwrecked Portuguese sailors. Guns that had the appearance of those on the racks didn't come around until the 17th century. Also, the Japanese aspects are unrealistic: Japan's gates to foreigners were closed except to the Dutch (who were only allowed access to a single port on Kyushu) until the 1850s, when Admiral Perry of the US Navy forced the Tokugawa Shogunate to accept unequal treaties by threatening to open fire on coastal towns with their superior cannonry and guns. Also, the samurai class didn't exist until the Gempei War in 1180, which established the first Shogunate, Minamoto Yoritomo. Sorry to totally butcher the historical accuracy of the page with all this, but it needs some changes)
