I really wish you would disappear. You contribute nothing to JF.

im not dissing Japan,
even the Blank-cheque funded AMericans would have trouble to do this,
the work involved is not simple,
yes its easy to prove that someone was not using a Japanese Passport legally,
but if your going to withdraw citizenship and start legals you need hard proof.
and thats easier said than done.
you cant just call up the USA gov and say, "exuse me wondering if you had mr J Bloggs as one of your citizens"
they can say, well on a Japanese passport you can only stay in country x for 6 months and you were gone from japan for 8 years and have no VISA stamps in your passport,
however it is not an offence to the Japanese gov to be an illigal immigrant in another country, and unless your willing to allocate some hefty resources to that effect they have no way to know/prove it.
even then the work involved is not simple and quick or easy.
you would have to expose countless assests just to stop people claiming Dual citizenship.
the easiest way to "catch" people is just out of thier own stupidity, IE exiting Japan with one PP and entering new country on another, (exit and entry stamps must always match up)
its also worth using a 3rd way point (e.g. China) so book flight from Japan to china on Japanese passport, then China to where ever.
its also worth noting that passport stamp / visas can be issued on paper and do not actually need to go into your passport directly, again working in your favour
so again,
its very hard to prove that you have the second passport unless you physically bring it into the country and then get searched.
Japan has a 1% GDP military budget,
this means that the Japanese inteligence network actually takes up the slack in terms of actual Military inteligence (boeicho) as these guys get thier funding from the paltry 1%,
the Minestry of Foreign affaris (MOFA - Gaimusho) gets its funding seperatly and if secure cable volumes are anything to go by has been going from strength to strength with volumes up 8 fold from mid 90's levels.
Internal inteligence is taken care of by the National Police Safety Commision,
who have a security bureau under the national police agency (Keisatsucho)
there are a few other inteligence divisions and depts that deal with trade (JETRO & METI) and justice (Homusho). however to bring about proof of Dual citizenship would (unless the person is stupid) require close co-operation between departments,
and you can be pretty sure that if one of the other agency's requested that the MOFA investigate a citizen who may or may not hold another passport that this is not going to be on the top of thier list of priorities, and that the investigation (if any) will be a simple tick box operation.
hows that for a contribution?
