This is My Asia entry in the Mosaic Earth starting on Sept 1 1939. I know the POD is Weak but with a infinite possibilities........... [I dion't want to talk about the TL as Such but.....]
I have two problems with it
One] It is not Japan, Japan is the Islands off the Coast and this is a Nation on the Asian Continent.
I need a New Name, ?Any Sugestions?
Two] The Republic of Japan was set up by the USA in this timeline. When they left the Republic keep operaing under the US written [dictated] Consitution. With this ISOT this is about to break down in a Japanese/Chinese kind of slow melt.
I see my Princess in the Role of Ceaser 44 BC. [Hopfully with better luck] Trying to save the Day. ?Could Ceaser have Built his empire of Rome while keeping the appearance of the Republic more intact?
?How do you think a Japan/Asia would appraoch a New Consitutional Assembly. ? My Dad [He's dead but still getting smarter] always said that with the passing of the WW2 generation whe would see a new Miliant Japan arise . ?How would a Collaspe of Democratic Japan and a New Imperial State look?

Wednesday Septembre 1st , 0800 local........................
Economic Isoted Area
Japan has controlled Korea, and Manchukuo for , forty years, and Amur for twenty, As such while Korea is almost as Developed Industrially as the Home Islands, and Manchukuo the agricultural centre, Amur is still mostly underdeveloped, except for Electric production, The giant dam, the Princess was to open was the fifth of ten under construction. It is believed [wrongly of course ] that this will satisfy the electric needs for the next thirty years. Almost all Japanese and lots of American Companies, have subsisitary plants in Korea and Amur, Ranging from home Items to Trucks, Airplanes & Shipyards. There is a Extensive RR system, running high speed steam locomotives, thru a move to Electric Locomotives is underway. There are also about 500 miles of Autobahns, with more under construction. Oil was discovered in Habin, Manchukuo in 1937, and a large refinery is under construction in the area.
