For the case of US, “Fallen” could just mean democracy ceased to existed, like a military coup after aforementioned economic crisis was mismanaged by congress.
 
It would be funny to see a famous figure in OTL become a US dictator, like Clint Eastwood or Michael Jackson.
"You could ask yourself a question, "Do I feel lucky?" Well do ya, punk?"
- Acting President Clint Eastwood after storming into the White House, deposing the last Populist President.
 
So I take it that Michael was shot?
Yeah, but he got better

Protagonist is... certainly a way to describe. Usually protagonist is associated with heroism, goodness or at least a morally grey atitude. The protagonist here is as sinister as it can get by this Point or View.
Conventionally, yes, but 'Protagonist' really just means who the story is about.
 
The working conditions were not only miserable but deathly, the arrival of so many new workers meant that most of them did not receive adequate equipment or protection, leading to crippling injuries or even deaths. In one famous example, a factory in the Shandong peninsula had 7 workers dying during one turn, but instead of their corpses being buried immediately, they would only be taken away at the end of the shift as all workers were forced to work extra hours to achieve the monthly quota of Steel.
LiveLeak is just the eternal spirit of China...
The "Ideological Unification" was coupled with the task of "Spiritual Mobilization", the idea of restoration of the Kokutai (National Spirit) was brought forwards by the Minister of Education and member of the new wing of radical nationalists that grew during the war, the literary writter Yukio Mishima. In his works, Mishima would many times decry the fact the Japanese people was like a plant plucked from it's garden, a "rootless" people losing it's cultural heritage and fickle like the wind under the influences of either the American Materialism or the Chinese Communism. As he became Minister in 1959, Mishima set to work on radically reshaping Japanese education through a purge on it's once growing intelligentsia.
Nice to see Mishima play a role in the new regime
One exception for that isolation, other than a few Asian and Middle Eastern countries, was Russia. Despite the potential flashpoint of Sakhalin and the Kuril islands, the two states, sharing a militant anti-communist belief and fearing the growth of China in the region, began to circle around the embargo. Hokkaido soon would become one of the main trading centers of Japan as the Island made the connection between Russia and the new Empire. Nigata and Akita, some of the main western ports of Japan, would also serve as a connection with Vladivostok where the Russian Empire provided Japan with crucial mineral and agricultural products that prevented the starvation of the Home Islands. On the other hand, Nishi had a level of skepticism, the Japanese dependence on many Russian products in the coming years, including of American companies that circumvented the Embargo by using Russia as a middle ground, ran contrary to the wishes to pursue Self-Sufficiency.

During the Ostkrieg, Japan also would give support for the Russian offensive, Nishi, desiring to give proper combat experience to the restored IJA, volunteered around 200 thousand Japanese troops that fought as far west as Rostov and Archangelsk, engaging in direct combat with the Wehrmacht. Despite the failure in the Russian reclamation of the West, not only did this war provide the IJA and it's new cadre of officers with vital information on the new styles of war, but it strengthened the bond between Yekaterinburg and Tokyo. In fact, after the war ended in 1967, a Treaty of Friendship would be signed with the two nations, with the Russians lifting up their part of the Embargo and opening an embassy in Tokyo. This made many in both nations feel nostalgic, as both countries were once allies and, indeed, the Harbin exiles that would form the Russian Empire were initially armed and trained by the IJA. This was a great step in restoring those ties, much to the aprehension of China and the United States alike.
Called it!
