With a POD no earlier than 1900, your challenge is to give the British Isles a larger population than the Japanese archipelago. Bonus points if you can do so in an AU where Formosa and Sakhalin are under Japanese rule, and considered as part of the Japanese archipelago as well; and even more bonus points if you can do so without reducing the Japanese islands' net population relative to OTL (i.e, 126.32M for the Silver Challenge, 150.4M for the Gold Challenge). What do you reckon- is it possible? And if so, how?
