Your Challenge: With a POD no earlier then July 8, 1852, Cause Japan to announce to the outside world on the 100th anniversery of the landing of Matthew Perry (July 8, 1952 for those who can't do the math) that it is closing itself off from the outside world. No diplomatic relations, no immigration or emmigration, etc. Trade must be limited a handful of ships landing at designated ports (Nagasaki for bonus) over a long period of time. This must be maintained by the Japanese government and respected by the Intenational COmmunity for a minimum of 25 years.

Bonus points for allowing Japan to maintain traditional culture and the Imperial System. Try to avoid cliches in order to do this (ex: no nazis rule world, japan in defensive isolation).

Go!!
