Write an realistic, plausible alternate history scenario set on the world of the alternate history scenario with no references to the real world, OTL, or even to the fact that this is an alternate history scenario after all in the form of a lengthy, descrptive, exposition-filled real documentary history book chapter set in the world of the alternate history scenario, in which the 1868 Meiji Restoration in the then Tokugawa shogunate-ruled Japan does not lead to the displacement of the Tokugawa clan as shoguns and the samurai class due to the Japanese imperial family, the Imperial House of Great Yamato regaining its power due to the Meiji Restoration, but is instead a compromise between the conservative feudal elites that support the shogunates and the liberal democrats who support the imperial family in Japan. The Cantonese Hakka-medical student turned Han nationalist, revolutionary, politician and statesman Dr. Sun Wen, [Wen] better known as Dr. Sun Yat-Sen is [Wen/Yat-Sen] assassinated [Wen/Yat-Sen] by a joint team of the UK's foreign intelligence M16 and the Russian Empire's combined secret police and foreign intelligence agency, the Okhrana when [Wen/Yat-Sen] studying in the Japanese Imperial House of Great Yamato/Minamoto dynasty-ruled unitary parliamentary semi-constitutional royal imperial monarchy of the Great Japanese Empire/Empire of Japan/Great Empire of Japan/Great Japan/Imperial Japan/Third Japanese Empire] ruling [the Great Japanese Empire] over [the territories ruled over by the Great Japanese Empire] Sahlakin and the Kurils, the Korean peninsula, Taiwan and the Pengu Islands, Palau, the Carolinas and the Marinas from [the Great Japanese Empire's homebase] the Japanese Home Islands under the Japanese alias  Kikori Nakayama [when Wen/Yat-Sen studied in the Japanese Empire under the name Nakayama] from 1899 to 1903. 

The  10 October 1911 – 12 February 1912 Xinhai Revolution against the Manchu Imperial House of Aisin Gioro-ruled, Manchu-dominated imperial absolute dynastic federalist royal monarchy of the Great Qing Empire ruling [the Great Qing Empire] over Han China, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, East Turkestan, Tibet, Inner and Outer Mongolia and Tuva from [the Great Qing Empire’s stronghold] Inner and Outer Manchuria, [the Xinhai Revolution] launched [the Xinhai Revolution] by [who launched the Xinhai Revolution] the Han Nationalist, Han supremacist and Han expansionist secret society/political organization/militant group of the Tongmenghui, Han nationalists and Han monarchists along with unassociated Cantonese independence groups, with the CCP being the modern day equivalent of the House of Aisin-Gioro and the PRC being the modern day equivalent of the Great Qing Empire, the [Xinhai Revolution] still occurs but [the Xinhai Revolution in this timeline] is [the Xinhai Revolution in this timeline] more focused on its [the Xinhai Revolution's] main goal of [the Xinhai Revolution's main goal] "Overthrow Qing, restore Ming", in other words, [ "Overthrow Qing, restore Ming"] restoring the pre-Qing and pre-1662, post-1368 Han Chinese Imperial House of Zhu-ruled absolute imperial dynastic royal monarchy of the Great Ming State/Great Ming Empire/“Ming dynasty” as the government of China after the overthrow of the Qing in the China region due to the strengthened influence of the millennialist Chinese folk religious sect focused on militant self-defense and tax resistance along with romanticised monarchism, wishing to restore the pre-Qing Han Chinese Imperial House of Zhu-ruled absolute imperial dynastic royal monarchy of the Great Ming State/Great Ming Empire/“Ming dynasty” as the government of China, the Yellow Sand Society over the Tongmenghui and the Han nationalist, Han supremacist, Chinese nationalist, Chinese imperialist, Marxist-Stalinist political party/militant group/secret society founded by Wen/Yat Sen in 1894 in Hawaii, the KMT/Kuomingtang due to Wen's/Yat Sen's assassination by MI6 and the Okhrana in this timeline. 

The stratocratic [military dominated/military governed |stratorcratic|] Beiyang Government-ruled federal parliamentary presidential republic of the first Republic of China ruling over Han China proper formed [the Beiyang Government-ruled first ROC] after the Xinhai Revolution still comes into being but  [the Beiyang Government-ruled first ROC] retains its  [the Beiyang Government-ruled first ROC's] status as a provisional regime  [the Beiyang Government-ruled first ROC] and a regency state  [the Beiyang Government-ruled first ROC] for the restoration of the monarchy [the Imperial House of Zhu and the Great Ming State] in post-Qing Han China,

Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, East Turkestan, Tibet, Inner and Outer Mongolia and Tuva all break away from Manchuria during and after the Xinhai Revolution along with Han China like in OTL but are never claimed by the Beiyang Government-ruled first ROC due to Wen's/Yat Sen's assassination by MI6 and the Okhrana in this timeline.

Japan also [Japan] retains in a strong influence in Manchuria, which [Manchuria] comes under the rule of the Han Chinese warlord faction/bandit clique/military junta of the Fengtian Clique lead [the Fengtian Clique] by Manchuria-based Han Chinese bandit turned bannerman in the Manchu/Qing military system, Zhang Zhuolin, [Zhuolin] known as "the Old Marshal", [Manchuria coming under the rule of the Fengtian Clique] after the Xinhai Revolution like in OTL and [Japan] makes post-Xinhai, post-Qing Manchuria under Fengtian Clique rule into a protectorate of Japan.

Former top dog in the Great Qing Empire's post-1895 modernized army corps,  envisioned as a regular and professional fully trained and equipped according to Western standards with a reserve,  the New Army turned rising star in the Beiyang Government-ruled first ROC's political establishment and eventually its [the Beiyang Government-ruled first ROC's] first president, the Han Chinese Yuan Shikai, [Shikai] still transforms the Beiyang Government-ruled first ROC into the unitary parliamentary imperial royal monarchy under a military dictatorship of the Empire of China on  12 December 1915 and [Shikai] makes himself [Shikai] Emperor of China, [Shikai's seizure of the Chinese throne] triggering the National Protection War of 25 December 1915 – 14 July 1916 between the Beiyang Government-ruled ROC as the Empire of China in Han China proper and the KMT-ruled Unitary, adhering to Sun Yat Sen's three principles of the people, nationalism, democracy and socialism [social welfare] one-party ruled and dominated directorial republic under a military dictatorship of the Second Republic of China/Nationalist China/National Government of the Republic of China in Guangdong and Guangxi, but the National Protection War becomes a stalemate due to Cantonese nationalist and independence elements taking over Nationalist China and the Empire of China being under eternal regency after Yuan's death in 6 June 1916 unlike in OTL. 


Sun's/Yat Sen's most famous student, the Cantonese revolutionary turned corrupt politician and then dictator who was Stalin’s puppet in China, Jiǎng Jièshí, who [Jièshí] was [Jièshí] better known as [Jièshí’s more famous alias] “Chiang Kai Shek”, [Jièshí/"Chiang"] still [Jièshí/"Chiang"] seizes control of both the KMT and the Nationalist Chinese government in 1926 with help from Soviet dictator Josef Stalin and [Jièshí/"Chiang"] forces Sun's/Yat-Sen's rightful heir and [Sun's/Yat-Sen's] other student, the Han Chinese revolutionary and statesman Wang Jingwei, into exile and [Jièshí/"Chiang"] subsequently still [Jièshí/"Chiang"] launches the military expedition launched by the KMT's military arm and Nationalist China's armed forces, the National Revolutionary Army [NRA] against both the Beiyang Government-ruled first ROC and the Fengtian Clique-ruled Manchuria in order to "unify' China" which occurred from  9 July 1926 – 29 December 1928, the so-called "Northern Expedition" but [Jièshí/"Chiang"] fails unlike in OTL due to Japanese support for both the Fengtian Clique-ruled Manchuria and the Beiyang Government-ruled first ROC, the people of Cantonia being used to independence and freedom and not liking Jièshí's/"Chiang"'s authoritarian policies and [Jièshí's/"Chiang"'s] connections to the Soviets, and the earlier death of Sun/"Yat-Sen" leaving both the KMT and Nationalist China disorganized and confused. 

The armed wing of the Beiyang Government created from Manchu and Han units of the now long-dissolved New Army and the Beiyang Government-ruled ROC's combined armed forces, the Beiyang Army, and the Fengtian Clique's armed wing and combined armed forces, the National Pacification Army, [the Beiyang Army and the NPA] annihilate the NRA during the Northern Expedition and  [the Beiyang Army and the NPA] incidentally wipe out the de jure Marxist-Leninist, socialist but de facto Han nationalist, Han supremacist, Chinese supremacist, Chinese Imperialist Chinese Communist Party and the CCP's armed wing, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army when  [the Beiyang Army and the NPA] destroying the NRA. 

Jièshí/"Chiang" is [Jièshí/"Chiang"] killed [Jièshí/"Chiang"] when [Jièshí/"Chiang"] attempting [Jièshí/"Chiang"] to [Jièshí/"Chiang"] escape from Nationalist China's de-facto capital of Guangzhou to the Soviet capital of Moscow during the fighting between NRA defenders of Guangzhou and the Beiyang Army and the NPA.

The Beiyang Army and the NPA almost "unify" China under the rule of the Beiyang Government-ruled first ROC but [the Beiyang Army and the NPA] are [the Beiyang Army and the NPA] convinced by the Fengtian Clique's Japanese backers to [the Beiyang Army and the NPA] release the Cantonia [Guangdong and Guangxi]-based Nationalist China as an independent state once more.

The Beiyang Army and the NPA also seize the Llama-ruled theocratic Buddhist absolute royal monarchy of the Kingdom of Tibet and the Soviet puppet state of the warlord clique/military junta/bandit faction of the Xingjiang Clique-ruled East Turkestan along with Soviet occupied Tuva and the Marxist-Leninist, Stalinist, far left Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party-ruled Unitary Marxist–Leninist one-party socialist republic of the Mongolian People's Republic occupying Outer Mongolia during the Northern Expedition with the help of the combined armed forces of the Great Japanese Empire, the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces, more specifically  the IJAF's ground combat arm, the Imperial Japanese Army. 

The institution of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party consisting as the Mongolian People's Republic's armed forces, the Mongolian People's Army and the military forces of the Xingjiang Clique are absorbed into the Beiyang Army after the conquest of Outer Mongolia and East Turkestan by the Beiyang Army. 

The Japanese subsequently make the once-again independent Cantonia [Guangdong and Guangxi]-based Nationalist China into a Japanese puppet state and [the Japanese] make Jièshí's/"Chiang"'s second in command, the Cantonese Guangxi-based and [Guangxi-born] warlord Li Zongren, [the Japanese making Zongren] into the leader [Zongren] of the now-Japanese controlled Cantonia [Guangdong and Guangxi]-based Nationalist China. 

The now-Japanese controlled Cantonia [Guangdong and Guangxi]-based Nationalist China becomes the Republic of Cantonia controlled primarily by Cantonian independence and anti-Chinese unification merchant factions. 

After the Soviet combined foreign intelligence agency and secret police agency, the NKVD, [the NKVD] assassinates Zhuolin when he [Zhuolin] is [Zhuolin] traveling [Zhuolin] in his [Zhuolin's] personal train in [when the NKVD attempts to assassinate Zhuolin] 4  June 1928 and [the NKVD] attempts to blame it [Zhuolin's assassination] on the elite units of the IJAF, more specifically the IJA stationed in Manchuria to protect the South Manchuria railway, the Kwangtung Army, Zhuolin's son, Zhang Xueliang, [Xueliang] succeeds him [Xueliang] as leader of the Fengtian Clique.

However, since Jièshí'/"Chiang" and the CCP are [Jièshí'/"Chiang"] both [Jièshí'/"Chiang"] long gone [Jièshí'/"Chiang"] by now and Soviet influence has been removed from the China region due to the failure of the Northern Expedition, Xueliang and the Fengtian Clique are [ Xueliang and the Fengtian Clique] both [ Xueliang and the Fengtian Clique] removed [ Xueliang and the Fengtian Clique] from power in Manchuria and the Imperial Japanese pre-WW2 era and WW2 era protectorate of the Qing imperial family, the Imperial House of Aisin-Gioro-ruled and monarchist, Manchurian nationalist, anti-communist, Pan Asian political party Concordia Association-ruled Unitary personalist one-party constitutional imperial royal parliamentary monarchy under a totalitarian military dictatorship of the Empire of Manchukuo, [Manchukuo] replaces the Fengtian Clique as Manchuria's government, with the NPA becoming Manchukuo’s combined armed forces, the Manchukuo Imperial Army and police units in Manchuria nominally operating under the Beiyang Government's control becoming  the main law enforcement agency of Manchukuo, managing the central police department responsible for all police in Manchuria after Manchuko’s formation, with a Maritime Police to combat smuggling along with cracking down on smuggling and maintain maritime security within Manchurian waters, first under the Manchukuo Ministry of Public Security and then under the General Directorate of Security Affairs, the Manchukuo Police. 

Manchukuo retains its [Manchukuo's] independence from the Beiyang Government-ruled ROC ruling over Han China like the Republic of Cantonia in Cantonia. 


The Shōwa Restoration of February 26, 1936 in the Japanese Empire, [the Shōwa Restoration] also known as the February 26 incident, [the Shōwa Restoration] being [the Shōwa Restoration] organized [the Shōwa Restoration] by a group of young Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) officers belonging to the ultranationalist secret society with the goal of reorganizing the Japanese state along totalitarian militarist lines and state socialism, the Cherry Blossom Society [the Shōwa Restoration being carried out] with the goal of purging the Japanese government andJapanese  military leadership of their [the young officers' carrying out the Shōwa Restoration's] factional rivals and ideological opponents, [the Shōwa Restoration being |the Shōwa Restoration| carried out |the Shōwa Restoration|] with the goal of restoring power to the then newly enthroned Japanese Emperor Shōwa [personal name Hirohito] and simultaneously abolishing the liberal Taishō democracy, with the Taishō democracy within the Japanese Empire being [the Taishō democracy] replaced [the Taishō democracy] a small group of qualified people backing up a strong Emperor, [the Shōwa Restoration in the Japanese Empire] succeeds [the Shōwa Restoration in the Japanese Empire] due to NKVD agent Richard Sorge being [Sorge] by the IJA’s military police with civilian secret police, espionage, and counter-intelligence roles within the Greater Japanese Empire with duties of maintaining military discipline, enforcing conscription laws, protecting vital military zones, and investigating crimes among soldiers while also issuing travel permits, recruited labor, arrested resistance, requisitioned food and supplies, spread propaganda, and suppressed anti-Japanese sentiment in areas occupied by the IJA during wartime, the Kempeitai and the Japanese policing organization, established within the Japanese Home Ministry for the purpose of carrying out high policing, domestic criminal investigations, and control of political groups and ideologies deemed to threaten the public order of the Japanese Empire with functions of criminal investigation and counter-espionage, the Tokkō and [Sorge] quickly neutralized, with the spy ring he [Sorge] had built in Japan being [Sorge’s spy ring] mopped up without the Soviets being anywiser and the Japanese domestic and foreign intelligence organizations being reorganized in order to prevent further breaches of security, [the mopping up of the Soviet spy ring in the Japanese Empire] preventing them [the Tokkō and the Kempeitai] from noticing domestic threats.

Although the Shōwa Restoration succeeds [the Shōwa Restoration] in [the Shōwa Restoration] returning power to the then newly enthroned Emperor Shōwa and simultaneously abolishing the liberal Taishō democracy while also reducing the power of the corporate multinationals within Japan, Emperor Shōwa is [Emperor Shōwa] forced [Emperor Shōwa] to [Emperor Shōwa] make concessions to Shogun Iesato in order to transition the Beiyang Government-ruled ROC ruling over Han China into a restored Chinese monarchy [the Great Ming State and the Imperial House of Zhu]. 

The Beiyang Government-ruled ROC ruling over Han China becomes the Provisional Government of the Republic of China in 14 December 1937, with  Wang Kemin, a major political figure [Kemin] in the Beiyang Government-ruled ROC, [Kemin] serving as its [the Provisional Government of the ROC's] president [Kemin].  

The New People's Society, a political organ [the New People's Society] that [the New People's Society] was [the New People's Society] designed [the New People's Society] to spread the government's [the Provisional Government Government of the Republic of China's] ideas to the Chinese public and [the New People's Society] mobilize economic and military support for the Provisional Government and Japan, while [the new People's Society] training future civil servants, sending students to Japan, giving medical services to remote villages, providing disaster relief, establish free tea houses, promoting Han Chinese art and pilgrimages to Confucian temples, as well as discussing political events in their radio stations and official newspaper, the New People's Daily with the core values emphasized were Confucian virtues, familial piety, respect for authority, and devotion to scholarship, [the New People's Society] proving useful in reeducating the Chinese people into supporting the Provisional Government and Japan, [the New People's Society] essentially becomes the Chinese version of the Concordia Association. 

Yuan Shikai's eldest son, the half-Korean Yuan Keding, [Keding] accepts the offer of IJA officer Kenji Doihara to [Keding] join the Provisional Government of the Republic of China, even as the Provisional Government of the Republic of China later becomes the Reformed Government of the Republic of China in  28 March 1938. 

Japan's Imperial era WW2-era protectorate of the Genghis Khan-descended Mongolian Imperial House of Borjigin-ruled constitutional royal parliamentary federalist monarchy,  the Mengjiang United Autonomous Government/Mongolian Autonomous Federation, [the Mengjiang United Autonomous Government/Mongolian Autonomous Federation] is [the Mengjiang United Autonomous Government/Mongolian Autonomous Federation] formed [the Mengjiang United Autonomous Government/Mongolian Autonomous Federation] in Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan regions on 1 September 1939. 

Mengjiang’s combined ground combat and aeiral warfare forces, the Inner Mongolian Army is [the Inner Mongolian Army] formed [the Inner Mongolian Army] from Mongolian units of the Beiyang Army and Han Chinese units of the Beiyang Army located in Chahar and Suiyan. 


The IJA thinks of [the IJA] formally enthroning Shikai's descendants upon the Chinese throne after [the IJA] dissolving the Reformed Government of the Republic of China and [the IJA] making Keding the Emperor [Keding] of this restored Chinese Empire, but the Kempeitai agents deployed across the China region suggest otherwise, stating that Shikai destroyed China and [Shikai] paved the way for the modern warlord era by [Shikai] making himself [Shikai] Emperor, [the Kempeitai agents] instead suggesting using the popular sentiment for the return of the monarchy [the Imperial House of Zhu and the Great Ming State] to China and the influence the Yellow Sand Society has in China because of that as a means of securing order within the mostly Beiyang Government of the First Republic of China-ruled Han China.

The IJA, with the help of the Kempeitai, [the IJA and the Kempeitai] go on a rampage against anti-Japanese factions of the Yellow Sand Society and other anti-Japanese Han nationalist forces within Han China with the help of the Beiyang Army, [the IJA and the Kempeitai] succeding in this [eliminating anti-Japanese Han nationalism within Han China] due to the disorganized nature of the enemy and the IJA's status as the most powerful land army [the IJA] in East Asia.


When the Beiyang Government-ruled Republic of China becomes the unitary, adhering to  Reorganized Government in 30 March 1940, the first Republic of China is [the first  Republic of China] not reformed as the government [the first Republic of China] through the Reorganized Government like in OTL , instead the Empire of China created by Yuan Shikai is [the Empire of China] restored [the Empire of China] in an attempt to replicate what happened in Manchuria with Manchukuo and Inner Mongolia with the Mongolian Autonomous Federation with Han China, with Keding becoming its [the Empire of China’s] Imperial Regent [Keding] under the era name he [Keding] received when he [Keding] became the Empire’s Crown Prince upon its [the Empire of China’s] initial formation, Yuntai, [Keding becoming the regent of the Chinese throne] being [Keding’s ascension to the Chinese regency] ‘approved’ [Keding’s ascension to the Chinese throne] by the Beiyang Government’s post-1928 Bicameral legislative branch consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives, the National Assembly, which [the National Assembly] was [the National Assembly] known [the National Assembly] as the Legislative Yuan during the Beiyang Government-ruled Republic of China’s existence as the Reformed Government of the Republic of China and the Reorganized Goverment of the Republic of China, with Sun Yat Sen’s protégé and [Yat-Sen's] rightful heir who was his [Yuntai’s] brother in all but blood, Wang Jingwei, [Jingwei] becoming Prime Minister of the Chinese Imperial Cabinet as the search for a suitable candidate from the surviving descendants of the Chinese Imperial family [the Imperial House of Zhu] to be coronated as Chinese Emperor, begins in advance with the focus being on locating the descendants of the last emperor of the Great Ming State, Zhu Youjian, who [Youjin] had the era name of [Youjin’s era name] Chongzhen, and the last emperor of the Ming rump state of the Southern Ming, Zhu Youlang, whose [Youlang’s] era name was [Youlang’s era name] Yongli.

A modified version of the Kuomingtang's Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth flag becomes its [the restored Empire of China's] naval Jack, [the restored Great Ming State] replacing the Kuomintang's White Sun with a white-outer rayed, red inner-rayed yellow sun with the Chinese character for "Ming" in the middle of the yellow sun in tribute to the original Ming blue sky and red outer rayed yellow sun flag while the crossed 18-star iron blood flag of the Wuchang Uprising that [the Wuchang Uprising] was [the Wuchang Uprising] the start of the Xinhai Revolution becomes the Chinese army flag.

The Beiyang Government's five-color flag with a white outer-rayed golden-inner rayed, red sun version of the Nationalist China white sun emblem in the middle becomes the restored Empire of China's civil flag.

The Beiyang Government of the Republic of China’s Twelve Symbols national emblem is [the twelve symbols National Emblem] rechosen [the twelve symbols national emblem] as the Chinese national emblem, albiet with two crossed 18-star iron blood flags behind the main insigna of the emblem as tribute to the Xinhai Revolution, and a plum blossom/Chinese plum seal akin to the Japanese imperial family's, the Imperial House of Great Yamato's/the Minamoto dynasty's Chrysanthemum seal is [the plum blossom seal] chosen [the plum blossom seal] as the reinstated Imperial House of Zhu's seal while the peony remains the Chinese national flower.

The selection of an Emperor from the surviving descendants of Chongzhen of Ming and Yongli of Ming finally commences in 1941, with Yuntai handing over power to the chosen descendant of the Imperial House of Zhu and the chosen royal ascends the Chinese throne as the first post-1644 Chinese Emperor in a immense coronation ceremony on the Dragon Throne in the Forbidden City in Beijing, which [the Forbidden City] becomes the residence [the Forbidden City] of the Chinese imperial family once more, with Emperor Hirohito of Japan, Emperor Kangte [personal name Pu-Yi] of Manchukuo and the head of state of the Mongolian Autonomous Federation, Prince Demchugdongrub in attendance.


The descendants of Chongzhen of Ming and Yongli of Ming are then almagated into a single imperial house, with the descendants of Xueliang, Yuntai and Shikai's other descendants being assimilated into this single imperial house in order to prevent succession claims and rival claimants to the Chinese throne.


The regions of Central China ruled by the Hui Muslim noble family turned warlords of the Ma clan. Xibei San Ma is not reintegrated into China after the restoration of the monarchy [the Great Ming State and the Imperial House of Zhu] in Han China through the Beiyang Government, however it [Xibei San Ma] becomes a Japanese protectorate [Xibei San Ma] under a pro-Japanese member of the Ma family, [Xibei San Ma] restoring the Turko-Mongol Han Chinese Imperial House of Li-ruled Great Tang Empire/Tang dynasty to power as an Islamic sultanate in the model of the Arab Islamic monarchies, the Ottoman Empire and the pre Russian Empire Mongol Empire successor states in Central Asia.

Post Xingjiang Clique-East Turkestan becomes a restored Turkish Imperial House of Osman-ruled Ottoman Empire.

The restored Empire of China is [the restored Empire of China] officially known as the Empire of Hanland/Empire of the Han Region, or the Da Han Diguo in Traditional Chinese, and Hanchukuo in Japanese.

The restored Tang dynasty is also known as the Empire of Huiland/Empire of Xibei or the Da Hui Diguo in Traditional Chinese, or Huichukuo in Japanese.

The mopping up of Sorge's spy ring and the quick victory of the IJA and Japanese allied forces in China leads to the Japanese armed forces deciding to strike North due to the China region being pacified as a result of the failure of the Northern Expedition launched by the NRA.

As a result, the Japanese armed forces strike north into the Soviet Union just as the Nazis invade the USSR in Operation Barbarossa in 1941, causing the USSR to collapse under the combined pressure of the Nazi Wehrmacht and the Japanese armed forces. The Nazis set up Reichkomissariats in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Caucuses, and European Russia and [the Nazis] utilize the then newly developed wunderwaffen of nuclear bombs and ICBMs, along with rotating energy-powered flying saucers to [the Nazis] finish decimating the European Allies after [the Nazis] destroying the Soviet Union, ending the European front of WW2. 

The Japanese restore the Far Eastern Republic on the Russian East Coast and make Siberia into a confederation of native tribes before [the Japanese] striking south against the European colonial powers, [the Japanese] being able to successfully do so due to the weakening of European colonialism, more specifically European Allied colonialism by the Nazis.

The Japanese integrate Macau into the Great Way Government governing [the Great Way Government] Japanese controlled Shanghai and [the Japanese] liberate the side branch of the Imperial House of Zhu, the Imperial House of Ngyuen/Ngyuen dynasty-ruled continuation/modernization/Government in exile of the Great Ming State, the absolute imperial royal dynastic  Empire of Vietnam in Vietnam from French settler colonialism occupation, [the Japanese while liberating Vietnam] allowing Vietnam to [Vietnam] keep the Khun Lo dynasty-ruled Kingdom of Laos in Laos and the House of Norodom-ruled Kingdom of Cambodia in Cambodia within itself [Vietnam] while [Japan] handing over Guangxi and Guangdong to Vietnam, which [Japan allowing Vietnam to keep Laos and Cambodia and |Japan| giving Vietnam Guangdong and Guangxi] essentially makes Vietnam a modern-day incarnation [Vietnam] of the post-204 BC, pre-111 BC Han Chinese Zhao dynasty/Triệu dynasty-ruled Nanyue Kingdom ruling over Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong, Macau, southern Fujian and central to northern Vietnam.

The NKVD, in its [the NKVD's] last efforts to try and wipe out Japan and revive an independent Nationalist China, [the NKVD] still launches the covert operation known as Operation Snow that [Operation Snow] leads [Operation Snow] to the attack of the IJAF on US-occupied Hawaii, more specifically the US port of Pearl Harbor on  December 7, 1941, but the IJAF, [the IJAF] not exhausted by [the IJAF] fighting in the China region like in OTL, [the IJAF] is [the IJAF] able [the IJAF] to [the IJAF] seize Hawaii after the Pearl Harbour attack, with the US naval presence in the Pacific being decimated by  the Pearl Harbour attack. 

When a overeager IJAF private accidentally unleashes the experimental Japanese nuclear arsenal on Los Angeles and the US Democrat Party's stronghold in the Southern United States and an overeager Nazi solider does the same with Nazi nuclear missiles which hit New York and Washington, DC, the USA falls apart in chaos.

The American Republicans rise in rebellion against the US Democrats and the US Democrats street arm, the KKK, which [the KKK] is [the KKK] occupied fighting off Communists in the US South and black radicals.

Secretly anti-Nazi elements of the Nazi military machine smuggle the Austrian imperial family, the Swiss-Austrian House of Hapsburg-Lorraine to the original thirteen states of the USA where a new Austria-Hungarian Empire is proclaimed with the help of the Japanese. The Nazis seize the Northern United States while the British, in exile in Canada seize the former Confederate American States with the help of the Democrats and the KKK along with New England.

The Japanese establish the puppet state of the Republic of Cascadia in the former US West Coast. 

By 1962: the world is divided into three power-blocs: the Japanese lead Greater Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere, the Nazi New Order and the British Imperial Confederation. After Shogun's Iesato's death in 1940, his [Iesato's] son Iemasa became the new Shogun, with Iemasa's grandchild Tsunenari expected to be the next Shogun after Iemasa. 

Emperor Shōwa is still [Shōwa] reigning [Shōwa] as Emperor of Japan, however it is expected that his [Shōwa's] eldest son Akihito will [Akihito] succeed him [Shōwa] as Emperor of Japan under the combined regnal and era name Reiwa. 

After the mysterious disapperance of Nazi Germany's leader Adolf Hitler in 1943, which [Hitler's disappearance] was hidden from the German people and the world, Germany came under a military regency disguised as a restored Weimar Republic before the German House of Hohenzollern-ruled German Empire was restored as the government of Greater Germany. 

The British Empire in exile in Canada is essentially ruled by the British nobility and aristocracy with the common Canadian suffering under imperial rule.
