Have you ever visited the capitals of the Greater German Reich and Japan and ,by extent, the Greater Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere? As you all know the Germans won the war when the British bailed out in 1940 after they were crushed at Dunkirk which caused the fall of Churchill and Halifax becoming PM. The fact that President Garner utterly refused to break America's isolationism didn't help either.

The Nazis then invaded the USSR in June 1941 and made peace in 1943, getting a border running from Leningrad to Astrakhan and including the Caucasus. Hitler started his mad reconstruction program based on Speer's plans. I find it quite bombastic and a little superfluous really although I must say the Great Hall is very impressive. Did you know that like 160.000 people fit in there? I also visited the public areas of Hitler's palace which has a 700 m facade. The barok interior reminds me of Louis XIVs palace in Versailles. The art collection's in the museums in Berlin and Hitler's palace are also recommendable if you're into neoclassicism and barok, otherwise its a bit monotous. Same goes for the opera which is Wagner, Wagner and more Wagner. Must be boring to be a German radio host. Even after Hitler's death in 1950 and the ascension of Goering and the softening of the regime, German state broadcasts remained boring. The British should be happy they got a white peace. The triumphal arch with the names of all German casualties of the Great War and the European war (1939-1943) are engraved in it which spans the East-West Axis were there are all kinds of shops. The good public transportation system gets you everywhere easy and is a work of art in itself. I also visited the nuclear bunkers which they built during the fifties out of fear for a nuclear war with the Soviets.

To anyone who wants to go to Germany: Don't ever go out of German territory. Prussia is good but the general-government of Poland is a mess. Even after Führer Schröder's reforms it's impoverished and a hotbed of criminality, prostitution and even terrorism; same goes for Gotenland (Ukraine) and Moscovia (European Russia) and Caucasus. Ostland is relatively safe as the Baltic people were considered descendants of the Germanic race and thus 'übermenschen'.

Tokyo is a bit overcrowded for my taste with over 25 million people living there. Ever since the end of militarist rule in 1989 it has become a cultural hub with Koreans, Chinese, Indochinese, Indonesians, Burmese and Malaysians living there. The food is great but I couldn't care less for the war museum which glorifies their revolting history of war crimes. I visited the Yamato which is now a museum ship (although it was recently reactivated for a short time after that incident with a British frigate in the bay of Bengal). The Imperial palace is also recommendable.
