Major ideologies
Major ideologies:

Coprospism (Co-Prosperity Sphere-ism):
Imperial or Monarchic Coprospism (sometimes called Hirohitoism after Emperor Hirohito) was a branch of Coprospism with a strong monarchistic component, where a king or emperor stood atop the society. Imperial-coprospists often believed that their rules were divine and send by the gods, making them religious fanatic and very loyal in some chases. The Coprospists in Nippon, Chosen, Manchukuo, Mengjiang, Taikoku and later Tibet had this ideology.

Authoritarian or Totalitarian Coprospism (sometimes Yanism called after Yan Xishan) was a form of Coprospism that focused on a single authoritarian or tyrannical leader with no religious aspect to his rule, but often a strong family tradition, or self proclaimed dynasty to rule after him. This authoritarian-coprospists often hoped to expand their leader cult to a true religious aspect and become imperial-coprospists over time. Authoritarian-coprospist societies and states were a little more open then imperial-coprospists societies in regards of cultural and society changes. The Coprospists in Wang Jingwei's Nationalist China, Yankoku, Taikoku and Yikoku had this ideology.

Democratic Coprospism (often called the the Philippine Way) was a form of Coprospism with democratic elements. While it still could have a monarchic or authoritarian leader, most of the power lay by the parliament and elections by the people. To integrate this way with the rest of the ideology of Coprospism, there was a strong emphasis on the cultural and traditional basis of the ideology, the Clans and Families that build the Asian societies. Often more open and free with debates and discussions about the government and the state, this form of Coprospism often allowed and encouraged parties, union, publications and newspapers that were not a part of the government. This allowed for more different views and ideas to flourish, sometimes even these critical of Coprospism, or the own state and people. The Coprospists in the Philippine had this ideology.

National Coprospism (sometimes called Ri Ginism or Uimin/Euiminism) was a form of Coprospism, where the Co-Prosperity Sphere member state was heavily populated by a single national ethnic and could therefore focus on being Imperial or Authoritarian Coprospism more easily because they had a unified and single population or ethnic they could rely on in their nation state. National-coprospists often wished to see their nation in a stronger, or hegemonic position inside the Co-Prosperity Sphere beside their neighbors, while at the same time working together with them on common threats and enemies. National-coprospist states and nations were often already more hegemonic and united than others. The Coprospism in Japan, Chosen, Tibet, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and to a extend in Mengjiang, Tibet, Yankoku and Wang Jingwei's Nationalist China had this ideology.

Multinational Coprospism (Puyiism after Puyi/ Pu Yi or after Lu Xing-Yong, depending if someone asked in former northern or southern China) was a form of Coprospism were the state was formed out of many ethnic groups without one clearly dominating the other. Multinational-coprospists often had two goals to form strong National Coprospist nation states. Some multinational-oprospists tried so by assimilating all ethnic groups into one of them over time (either the already biggest ethnic or culture, or the one they themselves came from), while other tried to merge all ethnic groups into a single new one (either a historically, or one of their own creation) for their new nation. The Coprospism in Manchukuo, Taikokuo and Yikoku had this ideology.

National Monarchism or Fascist Royalism:
Fascist Royalism (sometimes called the Italian/ Romanian Way, Mussoliniism or Francoism) was the original Italian root of Fascism that served the Monarchy. Fascist-royalists believed that both the King and the Leader (sometimes but not often the same person) were important for a strong and powerful state. This authoritarian leader(s) had a cult of loyal followers and hold the main political power in their states and nations, even if some form of parliament and senate was still present in someway. Fascist-royalists saw themselves as the true inventors of the whole ideology and believed that their form of it was the most efficient way to govern their home states and colonial empires. The Italian Kingdom/ Empire and the Nationalist Spanish Kingdom had this ideology.

National Monarchism (sometimes called the German Way, or Wilhelmism) was a form that originated in Germany and united a strong centralized Emperor or King in a position were all government power was in his hands in the end. While there may still be some senates and parliaments in these states they heavily listen to their beloved Emperor. This form of Fascist Royalism also relied on a single ethnic group that was the core population of the central empire, that sometimes ruled over their minorities like others ruled over their colonial population. The German Empire as well as the, French Empire, the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of White Ruthenia, the Kingdom of Ukrainia and the United Kingdom of the Netherlands had this ideology.

Austrofascistmonarchism (sometimes called the Austrian-Hungarian Way,Schuschniggism or Ottoism) was a form of National Monarchism and Fascist Royalism that combined parts of both ideological parts in them. This meant that the Emperor or King of the Austrofascist movements served as a benevolent leader that often was the unifying figure and element of his whole (most often multi-ethnic) country. The Austrian-Hungarian Empire as well as the United Baltic Duchy had this ideology.

Fascist Monarchism (sometimes called Mosleyism, the Anglo Way or Democratic Fascist Monarchism or Democratic National Royalism) was a form of ideology that came from Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley, the 6th Baronet of Ancoats (and the British politician who was the leader of the British Union of Fascists - BUF). Because Oswald hat not the same popularity and influence in Great Britain and the British Empire than Mussolini had in Italy or even Hitler before had in Germany, he tried to ally with the monarchy in his own version of Fascist Monarchism and National Royalism to gain more power, popularity and influence. What would later be called Mosleyism because of him, kept elements of democracy and focused more on a constitutional fascism monarchy/ constitutional national royalism. Because of slowly growing popularity and acceptance of the British Union of Fascist under Oswald Mosley, as well as the in the same way slowly growing popularity of the soon similar structured Monarchistic German American Bund (MGAB)/ Monarchistic German American Federation (MGAF) this more democratic form of the ideology was popular in the Anglo world and became later known as the Anglo Way because of it.

Major points of divergent will be:

the Anschluss (joining) between Germany and Austria:
if Austria and Hungary have already joined once again, and Hitler still demands Anschlss (focus), a military coup will end Hitler and the NSAP, bringing the DNVP to power with him remaining as Chancellor (for now), but bringing back Emperor Wilhelm II as head-of-state. This will give Germany a new focus tree and new decisions. Wilhlms return will also boost monarchistic ideologies in nearby/ surrounding states by a few %

the Japanese Imperialist coup of 1934:
very similar to OTL, but it will open a new Coprospist focus tree and new decisions if the C-PS reformist path is chosen as a middle way. This will automatically lead to the Tokia Conference, a independent Chosen/ Korea under Coprospist ideology and the forming of the Co-Prosperity Sphere as a alliane for Japanese and it's puppets/ allies (Korea, Manchu an Mengjiang). Korea, Manchuko and Mengjiang will also gain a Coprospist government with this and open up their own Coprospist focus trees and decisions
 
I doubt there would be any support for a second Austria-Hungary and the neighbors wouldn't tolerant it.
There was some during the time and with A-H, they have little power to stop them, as their major allies France and Italy had no plans to go against Austria, because they preferred a strong Austria not owned by Germany over the alternative. Also in a game mod it's about the major players choices, not realistic history.
No way in hell Japan would give up Korea by choice
They are not in the TL if you read it. ;D
