Any moderate Japanese Empire TL's here?

I was just wondering, are there any timelines here where the Japanese Empire goes down a more moderate path, one not as extreme as it did historically.

I just like the idea of an at least semi-honorable and goodish Japanese Empire surviving to modern day, especially with the possibilites for what directions it could go.

A Japanese Empire that works the way of Britain counts here, or perhaps is what I'm actually referring to.

So, anyone know of such a timeline?
 
It's certainly possible, but honestly I think that in all of AH Japan is one of the countries that gets the least change. Often you'll see it kind of stay where it is, or get invaded by the US, or turned Communist, but I haven't seen much else.


Oh wait, in "Not by a Mine" The Japanese empire ends up consolidating and keeping Korea and Taiwan and stays an empire. It is also very well-developed.

I wish people would do more with Japan in AH. Changing it at the right time could have so many interesting consequences.
 
Well, I might not be an expert, but I did toy with the idea of Oda Nobunaga winning the Sengoku Jidai period and surviving long enough to become Shogun/Emperor and start a dynasty that wouldn't be quite so closed to the west. The problem came in sense I had no idea how Japan worked beyond the Samurai class and the civil war period. :(
