Who are the members?Okay is there any way to establish this ? Japanese would still of course be leader but in the same vein of United States and Nato.
So with Butterflies starting in 1900 is this possible to happen ?
Who are the members?
If China is in, and not some horrible balkanized hell hole, then it can't stay Japanese dominated.Id say most of the The Asia (southeast asia ? cant remember the geographical name) Bonus points for putting china in.
You dont have countries you need to have in the sphere just atleast 60% of countries should be in said sphere.

It requires a drastic change in Japan's approach to foreign policy and their mindset towards fellow members. Then the other possible members need to become a bit more stable and in some cases not controlled by Western powers. You might be moving into the realm of ASB...
which is why i said POD 1900 because afer WWI it might already be ASB. We are still at precipice in 1900 but didnt yet move into ASB IMHO
The problem is that not only Japan needs to change, and those changes need to be pretty major.
More likely is that most parties join a trading bloc lead by Britain![]()
Sounds like you need to write a timeline in that case!we would need slighly different WWI and massively different Postwar and stuff. still it might be possible
Originally there was attempts made to integrate Koreans and to have them change their names to Jaoanese one's, but they changed course and forced them to change them back. If Hawaii was independent I can see it jointing the GEACPS, if only because it had so many Japanese people and a monarchy that would be reliant upon the Japanese. Better yet, wearing European styled regalia. I imagine they having Fiji and Tonga as independent, so they could have the royals for these areas, both in European style silk and diamonds, and in native dress, to show off how many diverse allies Japan has. Like how the lords of Satsuma had the delegations from the Ryukyu islands dress in their own clothing, so they could gloat to the other daimyos that they had a kingdom as their tributaries.Japanese back then considered themselves the Herrenvolk. Some say they considered the Koreans and some other Northern Asiatics honorary Herrenvolk.
