Merge the following information about the post-1868 surviving Tokugawa shogunate ruling over feudal Japan in Muv-Luv being the same state as its counterpart in Hyakka Ryouran with the information fabout the Empire of the Rising Sun from Command and Conquer and alternate history scenarios to form a united prompt: Japan is a technologically advanced island nation on the Pacific Rim, strategically positioned as part of the Far East Defense Line. Its geography, marked by surrounding seas and volcanic activity, provides both natural defenses and vulnerabilities to foreign invasions.

Political and Historical Background:

In 1867, instead of the Tokugawa shogunate collapsing, the Tokugawa clan allied with anti-shogunate daimyo to overthrow the existing pro-western government and restore imperial rule under the the post-660 BC reigning imperial family of Japan, the main branch of the Hànzú-Yamato Japanese royal family, noble family and Shinto priest line and warrior clan of the Minamoto dynasty/the Imperial House of Great Yamato with a new Shogun and the 5 Regent Houses of Koubuin, Ikaruga, Saionji, Kujo, and Takatsukasa,

. The Tokugawa shogunate continued as a semi-autonomous and semi-isolated local government into the 21st century, with power shared between the Emperor, the Shogun (selected from the Five Regent Houses), and an elected Imperial Diet overseen by the Prime Minister.

Despite this, the imperial structure remained central, upheld by a complex hierarchy of noble families and vassals.
the political event of 3 January 1868-8 November 1867 that restored imperial rule to Japan in 1868 under Minamoto Mutsuhito of the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato, who was the 122nd emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession, reigning from 1867 until his death in 1912, reigning under the combined era and regal name of Meiji, and although there were ruling emperors before said event, the events restored practical power to, and consolidated the political system under, the Emperor of Japan, and the Restoration led to enormous changes in Japan's political and social structure and spanned both the late Edo period (often called the Bakumatsu) and the beginning of the Meiji era, during which time Japan rapidly industrialised and adopted Western ideas and production methods, [the political event of 3 January 1868-8 November 1867 that restored imperial rule to Japan in 1868 under Emperor Meiji] known as the Meiji Restoration, referred to at the time as the Honorable Restoration,[2] and also known as the Meiji Renovation, Revolution, Regeneration, Reform, or Renewal, [the Meiji Restoration in this timeline] instead being a compromise between Emperor Meiji and the 15th and last shōgun of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan, who was part of a movement which aimed to reform the aging shogunate, but was ultimately unsuccessful, and resigned his position as shogun in late 1867, while aiming at keeping some political influence, Prince Tokugawa Yoshinobu of the Tokugawa clan, where the Minamoto Emperors would regain political power and national power and also gain the right to select the Japanese prime minister from the winning party of Japan's multiparty, free and fair democratic national elections held via secret ballot through the Japanese Diet, and head the Japanese Armed Forces in addition to being the chief priests of Shinto and Japanese imperial dynastic royal heads of state, while the position of shōgun held by the Tokugawa clan since 1600-1603 would evolve into a combination of the German and Austria-Hungarian Reichkanzlers and the constitutional royal monarchs of Europe, after Yoshinobu's death in 22 November 1913, his [Yoshinobu's] adopted son, Tokugawa Iesato of the Tayasu branch of the Tokugawa clan, [Yoshinobu's adopted son Tokugawa Iesato] succeded him [Yoshinobu] as shōgun of Japan, [Iesato as shōgun of Japan in this timeline] reigning under the Meiji era, the reign of Meji's son and successor as Emperor of Japan, Minamoto Yoshihito, who [Yoshihito] was [Yoshihito] the 123rd emperor of Japan [Yoshihito] according to the traditional order of succession, [Yoshihito as Emperor of Japan] reigning from 1912 until his [Yoshihito's] death in 1926 under the combined regal and era name of Taishō, and then Taishō's son and successor as Emperor of Japan, Minamoto Hirohito, who [Hirohito] was the 124th emperor of Japan [Hirohito] according to the traditional order of succession, [Hirohito as Emperor of Japan reigning] from 25 December 1926 until his [Hirohito's] death in 1989, [Hirohito as Emperor of Japan] reigning under the combined regal and era name of Shōwa, who [Emperor Shōwa] remains Japan's longest-reigning emperor [Shōwa] as well as one of the world's longest-reigning monarchs, and when Iesato dies in June 5, 1940, Tokugawa Iesato's eldest son, Prince Iemasa Tokugawa, [Iemasa] succeeds him [Iesato] as shōgun of Japan, [Iemasa as shōgun of Japan] reigning until his [Iemasa's] death in February 18, 1963, and when he [Iemasa] dies, his [Iemasa's] grandson, [Iemasa's grandson] Tokugawa Tsunenari, [Iemasa's grandson Tokugawa Tsunenari] succeeds him [Iemasa] as shōgun of Japan, [Tsunenari as shōgun of Japan] reigning from 18 February 1963 to 1 January 2023, [Tsunenari's reign as shōgun of Japan] lasting from the end of the Shōwa era and Hirohito's son and [Hirohito's] successor to the role of Emperor of Japan, Minamoto Akihito, [Akihito] who reigned as the 125th emperor of Japan from 1989 until his abdication in 2019 under the combined era and regal name of Heisei, and the end of the Heisei era and the start of the reign of Akihito's son and [Akihito's] successor to the role of Emperor of Japan, Minamoto Naruhito, who acceded to the Chrysanthemum Throne following the abdication of his father, Akihito, on 1 May 2019, beginning the Reiwa era, and is the 126th monarch, according to the traditional order of succession, [Tsunenari as shōgun of Japan] abdicating the role of shōgun of Japan, along with the position of head of the Tokugawa clan, to his [Tsunenari 's] successor as head of the Tokugawa clan in both OTL and this timeline, and successor to the role of shōgun of Japan, Tokugawa Iehiro on 1 January 2023, who [Iehiro] is [Iehiro] the current shōgun of Japan [Iehiro] as of the present day [2025].

thus the so-called "Taishō democracy" of Imperial Japan during the reign of Taishō, and Taishō's son and successor as Emperor of Japan, in which Japanese politics were dominated by the post-June 1, 1927 to pre-August 15, 1940 Japanese political party, that was one of the main political parties in pre-war Empire of Japan, calling for rule by the Diet of Japan rather than bureaucrats, elimination of disparities in wealth, international cooperation, and protection of personal liberties, doing polities of retrenchment of government spending, tightening the money supply and encouraging exports while stabilizing foreign investments through returning to a fixed exchange rate, being a progressive party that respected individual liberty and originality, aiming for freedom and equality, implementing strong 'Parliament-centric politics' through good operation of the universal suffrage.", the Rikken Minseitō [Constitutional Democratic Party |Rikken Minseitō|] that infact continued well into the era of Shōwa, never ends in this timeline as it is never defamed by the Allies or the Soviets in this timeline.

Unlike in many historical scenarios, Japan kept its full territorial integrity after World War II—retaining provinces such as Korea, Taiwan, the Pengu Islands, Sakhalin, and the Kurils post-1945 into the 21th century and beyond—and avoided major war crimes.

In China, Chiang Kai-shek, the head of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime, and the then leader of the Zhang family-ruled Fengtian Clique before becoming the commander of the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese "Northeastern Army" after he, his family and his supporters were kicked out of Manchuria by the Japanese and the Manchu people in 1933, the "Young Marshal" Zhang Xueliang, are both killed in the Xi'an Incident due to a mistimed bomb, crippling both the jointly US-Soviet-backed KMT Nationalist regime and the UK-backed CCP Chinese Soviet Republic.

Wang Jingwei, the true heir and successor of Sun Yat-sen and the real leader of the KMT-ruled Nationalist China, reclaims control over the KMT-ruled Nationalist China with Japanese support, revives the old Beiyang Government, and merges the remnants of the Beiyang Government with the KMT-ruled Nationalist Chinese regime to reform the Beiyang Government as the first Republic of China as the Japanese protectorate of the collaborations, pro-Japanese, Pan-Asian KMT-ruled Reorganized National Government of the Republic of China from 1938-1940.

The Second Sino-Japanese War ends before the USA can even deploy the atomic bomb, and Japan expands its control by liberating Mongolia, Tuva, and the Russian Far East from Soviet occupation but retains its imperial government with diminished power.

Of course that means that the Japanese protectorates of the Qing imperial family, the Manchu Imperial House of Aisin-Gioro-ruled Empire of Manchukuo in Manchuria and the side branch of the main branch of the Genghis Khan descended, Mongolian Imperial House of Borjigin-ruled Mongolian Autonomous Federation/Mengjiang in Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan provinces are never invaded by the USSR in 1945 to be "returned" to the KMT like OTL, and thus the Imperial House of Aisin-Gioro-ruled Empire of Manchukuo in Manchuria and the side branch of the Imperial House of Borjigin-ruled Mongolian Autonomous Federation/Mengjiang in Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan provinces both survive post-1945 into the 21th century and beyond.

To avoid more international condemnation and to keep the peace in Asia, Japan replaces the Soviet protectorate of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party-ruled Mongolian People's Republic in Outer Mongolia with a restored spiritual head of the Gelug lineage of Tibetan Buddhism who also hold the title of Bogd Gegeen, making them the top-ranked lama in Mongolia known as the Jebtsundamba Khutuktu[a] or Khalkha Jetsün Dampa Rinpoche ., highest authority of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia, as theocratic sovreign under the title Bogd Khan or "Holy Ruler"-ruled Bogd Khanate of Mongolia/Great Mongolian State as per the the efforts of the Mongols to form an independent, theocratic state that included Inner Mongolia, Barga (also known as Hulunbuir), Upper Mongolia, Western Mongolia and Tannu Uriankhai ("pan-Mongolism"), and also puts the side branch of the main branch of the Imperial House of Borjigin that ruled over the Great Yuan Empire/"Yuan dynasty' as Khans of Mongolia and Emperors of China known as the Imperial House of Kublai back on the Outer Mongolian throne, restoring both the Bogd Gegeen-ruled Bogd Khanate of Mongolia/Great Mongolian State and the Imperial House of Kublai-ruled Great Yuan Empire/"Yuan dynasty' in a dual monarchy format as the government of post-Soviet Greater Outer Mongolia.

the Japanese protectorate of the side branch of the main branch of the Genghis Khan descended, Mongolian Imperial House of Borjigin-ruled Mongolian Autonomous Federation/Mengjiang in Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan provinces remains a separate state from the Japanese protectorate of the jointly restored Bogd Gegeen-ruled Bogd Khanate of Mongolia/Great Mongolian State and the Imperial House of Kublai-ruled Great Yuan Empire/"Yuan dynasty' ruling over post-Soviet Greater Outer Mongolia.

In Europe, the European Axis survived post-1945 to 1949 and managed to hold on to the Balkans, Eastern Europe, the Caucuses, Central Asia, European Russia, Greece, the Balkans, Northern Africa and the Horn of Africa and even managed to grab Sub-Saharan Africa from the Allies thanks to a panicking Nazi German Wehrmacht nuclear tipped ICBM commander nuking Washington D.C, London, Moscow and Los Almanos [where the American nuclear project was] when the Germans began to lose ground in the USSR, this allowed the Axis to finish off Free France, secure Scandinavia and even invade the British Isles, although the British government fled to Canada, and the USSR trapped in Siberia essentially fell apart,

the Axis in this timeline forms the EU openly and also forms NATO to protect itself against what is left of the Soviets, Free French and the British,

after the failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, the chancellor and leader of Nazi Germany, and overthrow the Nazi regime on 20 July 1944, and he plotters were part of the German resistance, mainly composed of Wehrmacht officers, and leader of the conspiracy, Claus von Stauffenberg, tried to kill Hitler by detonating an explosive hidden in a briefcase. However, due to the location of the bomb at the time of detonation, the blast only dealt Hitler minor injuries, and the planners' subsequent coup attempt also failed and resulted in a purge of the Wehrmacht, [the failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, the chancellor and leader of Nazi Germany, and overthrow the Nazi regime on 20 July 1944] known [the failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, the chancellor and leader of Nazi Germany, and overthrow the Nazi regime on 20 July 1944, and the plotters, unaware of their failure, then attempted a coup d'état, and a few hours after the blast, the conspiracy used Wehrmacht units to take control of several cities, including Berlin, right after giving them disinformation on the intention of the orders they were given, using the German World War II emergency continuity-of-government operations plan issued to the Territorial Reserve Army of Germany to implement in the event of a general breakdown in national civil order due to Allied bombing of German cities, or an uprising of the millions of foreign forced labourers working in German factories, but German Army (Heer) officers, General Friedrich Olbricht, Major General Henning von Tresckow and Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg modified the plan with the intention of using it to take control of German cities, disarm the SS, and arrest the Nazi leadership once Hitler had been assassinated in the 20 July plot, as Hitler's death (as opposed to his arrest) was required to free German soldiers from their oath of loyalty to him (Reichswehreid), and after lengthy preparation, the plot was activated in 1944, but failed, [the German World War II emergency continuity-of-government operations plan issued to the Territorial Reserve Army of Germany to implement in the event of a general breakdown in national civil order due to Allied bombing of German cities, or an uprising of the millions of foreign forced labourers working in German factories] known as Operation Valkyrie ,and part of the coup d'état attempt is referred to by the name "Operation Valkyrie", which also has become associated with the entire event, [the failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, the chancellor and leader of Nazi Germany, and overthrow the Nazi regime on 20 July 1944, and the conspiracy used Wehrmacht units to take control of several cities, including Berlin, right after giving them disinformation on the intention of the orders they were given, using Operation Valkyrie] known [the failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, the chancellor and leader of Nazi Germany, and overthrow the Nazi regime on 20 July 1944, and the conspiracy used Wehrmacht units to take control of several cities, including Berlin, right after giving them disinformation on the intention of the orders they were given, using Operation Valkyrie] as the 20 July plot, [the 20 July plot] succeeds in this timeline, but as the Allies were decapitated by the nuclear bombs and the Wehrmacht had already invaded Sweden from Nazi occupied Norway and the Nazi-occupied Baltics, what ends up happening is that the Axis is the one carrying out and implementing Operation Unthinkable using the surrendered armies of the British, Free French and Soviet Axis collaborators after the Allies were decapitated by the German atomic bombs to kick the Soviets out of Europe into Siberia in this timeline, Nazi Germany fragments into several successor states:

The restored German Empire, dominated by the Hohenzollern-ruled restored Kingdom of Prussia in the north of what was once Nazi Germany.

The restoring Kingdom of Poland under the side branch of the main branch of the Swiss-Austrian House of Hapsburg.

A rump Nazi German state in Greater Austria expands control over Hungary, Croatia (including Bosnia and Herzegovina), Tyrol, Serbia, and parts of former Nazi-occupied France.

Serbia is restored under the pro-Austrian Obrenović royal family, and the Danubian Federation is formed under the main Hapsburg line from the rump Nazi German state in Greater Austria that also controls Hungary, Croatia (including Bosnia and Herzegovina), Tyrol, Serbia,, implementing Franz Ferdinand's "United States of Greater Austria"

France is divided: Northern France is moving toward restoration under the main branch of the French House of Bourbon-ruled Kingdom of France as a protectorate of the Danubian Federation; Vichy France in the south becomes the German protectorate of a Napoleonic French Empire under the Bourbon-Orléans.

Brittany is revived as a duchy and German protectorate.

The restored Hohenzollern-ruled German Empire controls much of Eastern Europe including the Baltics, European Russia, the Caucasus, and parts of Scandinavia:

Russian territories see restoration of historic or newly created monarchies as protectorates of the restored German Empire in the place of the Nazi Reichprotectorates: Romanovs in European Russia ruling over the Russian Empire/White Movement-ruled Russian State, House of Urach in Lithuania ruling over the Kingdom of Lithuania, House of Meckelburg in the Baltics ruling over the United Baltic Dutchy, Kingdom of Georgia under the Savoys, Kalmyk Khanate restored in Kalmykia, a Don-Kuban Union under the Swedish Rurikid line in Russia's Kuban region, Ukraine's Donbass region, Russia's Rostov Oblast, , the Ukrainian State under House of Skoropadskyi (without Donbass), and the Kingdom of Finland in Finland under the House of Hesse expanded to include gave Russia Karliea and the Kola Peninsula.

Denmark is annexed into Germany, Norway as well, and Sweden becomes a German puppet state.

The Hapsburg-ruled Danubian Federation is officially called the Greater Germanic Reich, encompassing much of Central and Southeastern Europe under a restructured imperial system reminiscent of the Hapsburg-ruled Holy Roman Empire.

The European Axis forms both the EU and NATO in the 1950s.

The United Kingdom? Weak, divided, shattered into German protectorates after the Nazi bombing of London with a nuclear ICBM in the 40s.

After the return of monarchy in what was once Nazi Germany after Hitler's death, the Nazi protectorate of Reichprotectorate England in occupied England gave way to the German protectorate of the Kingdom of England under a compliant branch of the Windsors starting with Edward VII, a German protectorate of the Dutchy of Wales in Wales and a German protectorate of the Kingdom of Scotland in Scotland ruled by the descendants of the Scottish House of Stuart who intermarried with the Bavarian royal family, the German House of Wittelsbach.

There is a "UK government in exile" in Canada that quickly absorbs all of the other Allied "governments in exile" into itself and also seizes other Allied colonies in the Caribbean along with the pro-British former Confederate American states of South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

Japan also takes Hawaii from the Americans.

The US suffers badly from the decapitation of the US nuclear program at Los Almanos along with the destruction of Washington D.C, NYC and Richmond by Nazi nuclear tipped ICBMs during the war and the loss of territory, but expells the Blue Dog Confederate Democrats [FDR is the last Blue Dog Confederate Democrat to rule as President of the USA in this timeline] to the now "UK in exile"-governed Canada controlled pro-British former Confederate American states of South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina, gets rid of all the Soviet, British and KMT agents, spies and operatives in the USA during the "Red Scare" period caused by the Axis exposing all of the Soviet atrocities to the public, then from the late 1940s to the 1960s reforms into a right-wing populist, democratic authoritarian nation, more specifically a unitary Right-Wing populist constitutional republic under authoritarian democracy based on the ideals of Huey Long, denouncing the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few and criticizing the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties for failing to respond adequately to the ongoing crisis, which enacted the neo-capitalist policies of the Share Our Wealth programme to stablise the economy, bring social reforms and establish new civil rights. Heavy industry enterprises, especially oil and coal companies were to remain nationalized, a progressive tax code was implemented and the 18th Amendment, alias Prohibition was terminated, , whose economy was heavily dependent on agriculture, social services and industrialisation, and whose foreign policy involved a firm influence in the Caribbean and strong diplomatic ties with the post-WW2, post-Nazi German Weltreich, promoting mutual strategic, technological and economic assistance against the Soviet-KMT Bloc, known as the American Union State.

Italy under the rule of the Franco-Spanish Italian House of Savoy-ruled, Italian Fascist Party-governed Kingdom of Italy conquers the Horn of Africa and secures Libya,

and also, Bulgaria under the rule of the part-Hungarian, Catholic, Bulgarized side branch of the main branch of the German House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha known as the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Koháry-ruled Tsardom of Bulgaria, also known as the Third Bulgarian Tsardom, usually known in English as the Kingdom of Bulgaria [under permanent royal dictatorship post- April 1935, where political process was controlled by the Tsar, but a form of parliamentary rule was re-introduced, but however, political parties remained banned, and uncharismatic prime ministers were appointed by the monarch, and he didn't restore the traditional political supremacy of the Sabranie and write a new constitution, and in 1936 a broad coalition, the People's Constitutional Bloc, brought together nearly all leftist and centrist factions in a nominal opposition that had the blessing of the tsar, the then Tsar of Bulgaria Boris III delayed holding a national election until 1938. At that time, only individual candidates were allowed in a carefully controlled election procedure that excluded party candidate lists. Boris claimed that domination of the new subranie by pro-government representatives justified his non-party system, although the People's Constitutional Bloc seated over sixty delegates. Elections in the next two years were strictly limited in order to maintain Boris's control over his parliament, and with the rise of the "King's government" in 1935, Bulgaria entered an era of prosperity and astounding growth, which deservedly qualifies it as the Golden Age of the Third Bulgarian Kingdom, which lasted nearly five years in OTL, governed by prime minister Georgi Kyoseivanov, whose Premiership oversaw the trials of the instigators of the 1934 military coup and also concluded pacts with Yugoslavia and Greece as Nazi Germany undertook a policy of economic isolation of the Balkans], [Bulgaria] becomes a complete German satellite, [Bulgaria] taking Macedonia from Yugoslavia, Thrace from Greece and of Southern Dobruja from Romania during WW2 like OTL,

Romania under the Romaianized side branch of the senior branch of the House of Hohenzollern, known as the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen known as the House of Hohenzollern-Romania-ruled Kingdom of Romania [minus Transylvania and most of the Banat, Romania remains stuck under the a totalitarian fascist regime which governed Romania for five months, from 14 September 1940 until its official dissolution on 14 February 1941, which was led by General Ion Antonescu in partnership with the Iron Guard, the Romanian fascist, ultra-nationalist, anti-communist and anti-Semitic organization, and was a unitary parliamentary constitutional royal monarchy under a legionarist one-party totalitarian duumvirate known as the National Legionary State, here, there is no strong USSR to control Eastern Europe, Central Asia, European Russia and the Baltics like OTL and the nuking of NYC, Washington, Moscow and London by the Germans |by accident|, allowing the Germans to come back in the final days of the war, allows the Axis to find the remaning Soviet, Free French and English documents describing all the Soviet war crimes and atrocities, any atrocities commited during the European and African front of WW2 are blamed on the Soviets, Free French and the UK], [Romania in this timeline] also becomes a German protectorate

the Axis takes the role of the US and the West in the real life Cold War but being smarter, more technologically advanced and effective, there is no Zionist movement or communism in Europe as that was wiped out by the Axis after the nuking of Washington D.C, London, Moscow and Los Almanos, the US and Siberian Soviets play the role of the USSR [for the USA] and the KMT-ruled Nationalist China [for the Siberian Soviets] in the OTL Cold War in this timeline, and Canada is this timeline's version of the CCP-ruled PRC, in 1989-1991 the USA collapses just like the USSR in real life, and like the KMT-ruled Nationalist China in real life, the Siberian Soviet Republic is eventually replaced as the government of Siberia by a democratic, multi-party presidential parliamentary republic that is a democratic Republic of Siberia in all but name, but using the Soviet government, military, police force and embassies, the CPSU in Siberia in this timeline, post-1980s, is like the KMT in Taiwan post-1980s in real life, bunch of old foreigners holding on to the past of their host nation who no one gives a f about locally

Globally, the European Axis powers and Japan suppress the US Weapons of Mass Destruction programs before they can succeed, employing Nazi German nuclear-tipped ICBMs as part of the Wunderwaffen program.

With Japan’s key rivals weakened or fragmented (e.g., the USSR confined to Siberia and Europe controlled by a victorious European Axis), Japan signed a limited peace treaty with the USA and USSR in 1945, retaining its imperial government albeit with reduced authority.

It then became a central Far East base for the European Axis during the Cold War, receiving Axis support for rearmament aimed at containing Soviet instability and American revanchism.
As Japan "demilitarized" in the late 1940s to early 1950s in this timeline and let the post-15 November 1955 major conservative and Japanese nationalist political party in post-WW2 Japan, the Liberal Democratic Party and the post 17-November 1964 to November 7, 1998 political party in post-WW2 Japan which is generally considered as centrist and conservative, the Kōmeitō win the Japanese elections, after the Rikken Minseitō won WW2 for Japan, although the post-1951 Japanese political party and far-right political group with an ideology of Ultraconservatism (Japanese), Anti-communism, Pro-Americanism and Ultranationalism, the Dai Nippon Aikokutō [Greater Japan Patriotic Party |Dai Nippon Aikokutō|] and the major socialist and progressive[3] political party in Japan which existed from 1945 to 1996 with an ideology of Socialism, Progressivism and Pacificism, Nihon Shakai-tō [Japan Socialist Party |Nihon Shakai-tō|] and the Nihon Shakai-tō's successor political party, the post-19 January 1996 political party in Japan which has advocated pacifism and defined itself as a social-democratic party having an ideology of Social democracy, Democratic socialism, Progressivism and Pacifism, the Shakai Minshu-tō [Social Democratic Party |Shakai Minshu-tō], compete for the fringes of Japanese society. and at the far end, the post-1 September 2023 politically conservative,[19] Japanese ultranationalist[8] and right-wing populist[20] political party, which claims to "protect Japan's national polity and traditional culture", and is opposed to immigration, opposed to LGBTQ rights[23] and uses historically revisionist rhetoric, which opposes LGBT rights in Japan,[21][32] immigration,[33] and gender equality, and also supports welfare chauvinism,[35] revising the constitution,[35] and a stronger foreign policy against China and North Korea, the Nippon Hoshutō [Conservative Party of Japan |Nippon Hoshutō|], and the Rikken Minseitō's successor party, the post-3 October 2017 liberal[12] political party in Japan, which is the primary centre-left party in Japan, whose platform supports raising the minimum wage, expanded welfare policies, the legalization of same-sex marriage, increased gender equality,[16] renewable energy policies, decentralization, a multilateral foreign policy, the revision of the U.S.–Japan Status of Forces Agreement, tax reform and electoral reform, and the party itself strongly opposes efforts to amend the Japanese Constitution to reinterpret Article 9 or codify the status of the Japan Self-Defense Forces and also opposes nuclear power, the Rikken-minshutō [Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan |Rikken-minshutō|] compete for the far end of Japanese politics, the Japanese Home Islands [including Sakhalin and the Kurils] and Okinawea both still transform into the post-May 3, 1947 unitary parliamentary constitutional royal imperial monarchy ruled by the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato/the Minamoto dynasty from the Chrysanthemum Throne in the Kyoto Imperial Palace located in Kamigyō-ku, Kyoto, [the post-November 29, 1890 to May 3, 1947 unitary parliamentary constitutional royal imperial monarchy ruled by the main branch of the the Imperial House of Great Yamato/the Minamoto dynasty from the Chrysanthemum Throne] known [the post-November 29, 1890 to May 3, 1947 unitary parliamentary constitutional royal imperial monarchy ruled by the main branch of the the Imperial House of Great Yamato/the Minamoto dynasty from the Chrysanthemum Throne] as [the name of the post-November 29, 1890 to May 3, 1947 unitary parliamentary constitutional royal imperial monarchy ruled by the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato/the Minamoto dynasty from the Chrysanthemum Throne] the State of Japan like in OTL, however as Japan won WW2 and is also simultaneously still under the Tokugawa shogunate post-1868 here, this is more of a voluntary choice than anything for Japan, as international observers were complaining that the post-12 October 1940, pre-13 June 1945 Japanese political organization that was the Empire of Japan's ruling political organization during much of the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II, which was created by Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe on 12 October 1940, to promote the goals of his Shintaisei ("New Order") movement, which was organized along national syndicalist lines, with new members assigned to branches based on occupation, which would then develop channels for mass participation of the common population to "assist with the Imperial Rule" and evolved into a statist, para-fascist[13] ruling political party which aimed at removing sectionalism and factionalism from politics and economics in the Empire of Japan, creating a totalitarian one-party state in order to maximize the efficiency of Japan's total war effort against China and later the Allies, with an ideology of Statism, Totalitarianism, Japanese ultranationalism and Japanese imperialism, the Taisei Yokusankai [Imperial Rule Assistance Association |Taisei Yokusankai|], and the Japanese political slogan meaning the divine right of the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato/the Minamoto dynasty-ruled Great Japanese Empire, to "unify the eight corners of the world." which basically stated that the basic aim of the main branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato/the Minamoto dynasty-ruled Great Japanese Empire's national policy was "the establishment of world peace in conformity with the very spirit in which our nation was founded." and that the first step was the proclamation of a "new order in East Asia", indicating the making of a universal brotherhood implemented by the uniquely-virtuous Yamato people, Hakkō ichiu [ "eight crown cords, one roof", i.e. "all the world under one roof" |Hakkō ichiu|] [the Taisei Yokusankai] was [the Taisei Yokusankai] dominating too much of Japanese life and politics during the War.

Sociopolitical and Economic Status:

This Japan experienced a postwar industrial and technological boom akin to a non-interrupted Meiji/Showa-era modernization, achieving sustained economic growth without the historical “Lost Decade.”

Politically, the Imperial Diet, led by an elected Prime Minister, manages most governance, while the Shogunate oversees imperial and noble family affairs, maintaining traditional status and security forces.

The nation embraces a mix of feudal aristocratic traditions combined with modern administrative structures.

Military Structure and Role:
Japan’s military is highly experienced and multifaceted, split into:

Imperial Japanese Army / Mainland Defence Force (IJA/MDF): Primary land combat forces defending Japan and conducting overseas operations, organized regionally to facilitate rapid response.
It includes combined arms units like armored regiments and TSFs (tactical strike fighters) that integrate air, land, and armor components.

Imperial Japanese Aerospace Force: Merged air and space forces operating advanced fighters, orbital assets, and transport capabilities, which supports both national defense and international cooperation.
Imperial Japanese Navy: The third-largest and strongest navy globally, critical for maritime defense, transport, and amphibious operations.

The Navy includes elite Imperial Marines who use TSFs and TSA vehicles for assaults and maintaining beachheads.

Imperial Japanese Royal Guard: An elite, aristocratically staffed force responsible for protecting the Shogun, Regent Houses, and imperial legitimacy. They operate independently of other forces and maintain unique equipment traditions.

Japan functions as a key strategic player in the Far East Defense Line, cooperating closely with European Axis powers—paralleling the UK’s role in Europe—with shared military tactics and objectives primarily aimed at countering the KMT-Soviet threat and maintaining regional stability.

Key Characteristics:

Preservation of the Tokugawa Shogunate as an enduring political-military institution, balancing imperial authority and modern governance.

A layered noble hierarchy with Five Regent Houses and hereditary vassals maintaining political and military influence.

Successful postwar retention of empire and territories, avoiding historical losses and devastation.

A robust, multi-branch military integrating advanced technology (TSFs, orbital units) and extensive combat experience against alien threats.

Strategic positioning as a linchpin in the Asian-Pacific defense network under the aegis of the European Axis.

Overall, this alternate Japan represents a fusion of enduring feudal traditions under a continued Tokugawa shogunate with high technology and modern political institutions, thriving economically and militarily in a complex Cold War without the historical disruptions of war defeat or occupation.

Red Alert 3 official website ”
The Empire of the Rising Sun is the imperial regime of Japan, led by the Emperor and the Shogunate. Created as a result of Anatoly Cherdenko's erasure of Albert Einstein from the timeline, the Empire of the Rising Sun declared war on both the Allies and the Soviet Union during the Third World War, believing that it is its "divine destiny" to rule the world. Influenced by nationalism, militarism and imperialism, the Empire has adopted aggressive policies, viewing the Allies and Soviets nothing more than "western barbarians".

The flag of Japan

Despite the removal of Adolf Hitler, the USS Arizona Memorial and Iwo Jima Memorial are present in the timeline of Red Alert and Red Alert 2.[2][3] The independence of Korea during the Third World War indicates that the Empire of Japan collapsed long before 1972 and gave independence to her colonies. Notably, a telephone with "Tokyo" written on it can be seen next to the one with "Moscow" written on it that Michael Dugan uses to call Alexander Romanov during the opening of Red Alert 2.[4] It is unknown whether the presence of that phone has any significance.

In the first iteration of the Third World War, Japan was colored blue on the map at the start of the war so it was either neutral or loosely affiliated with the Allies. During the first mission of the Guardians of the East campaign, South Korean forces fought the Soviets along the coast of Japan for naval supremacy of the Pacific.

Formation
Yoshi
Emperor Yoshiro played by George Takei

The Empire of Japan transformed into the Empire of the Rising Sun after 1927 following two significant temporal events: the erasure of Adolf Hitler by Albert Einstein in 1924,[5] and the erasure of Einstein by Anatoly Cherdenko in 1927.[6] By the time of the Third World War, the Empire extended to Oahu in the mid-Pacific.

Spurred by Emperor Yoshiro's vision of "divine destiny" and global hegemony, the Empire undertook a significant expansion of its armed forces prior to the war. The Allies and Soviets estimated the Empire's resources as greatly inferior to their own. The sophistication and scale of the build up, including notable developments in Wave-Force and nanotechnology, went largely unnoticed.

Rise of the Empire

The following is based on the Imperial campaign of Red Alert (iOS) and might contradict canon.
The Empire made its first moves in the Pacific, eliminating both the rival Moon Clan and the Allied presence in the Bonin Islands.[7][8] Following this the Soviet Union, interested in the Empire's psychic research, kidnaps one of the Empire's earliest psionic commandos, Izumi. In response, a skillful Imperial commander leads a team into the USSR, rescues Izumi, and destroys the Soviet psychic research facilities.[9] Enraged by the Soviets, Izumi slaughters the soldiers and inhabitants in Sochi.[10]

Shocked by the recent events, the Allies sent a massive fleet to the Pacific in order to pacify the fledging Empire. But, with Izumi and the new Psionic Decimator, the Imperial forces were able to eliminate the Allied fleet, cementing the Rising Sun's control in the far east.[11]

Third World War
“ The day of destiny has arrived. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen. The western barbarians will bow before us... or their nations will cease to exist.

Emperor Yoshiro's threat to the Allies(src) ”
Imperial strategy took advantage of circumstances generated by the war between the Allies and the Soviet Union. The concentration of Soviet forces in Western Europe was an opportunity not to be missed. The Imperial bid for world domination opened with an offensive on the relatively poorly defended eastern territories of the Soviet Union.
Emperor Yoshiro waited until the Allies expended themselves pushing the Soviets out of Western Europe before announcing the Empire's ambitions to the world. The deployment of floating fortresses into the North Sea and western Mediterranean to force European submission coincided with the announcement. The question then becomes: can the upstart Empire fulfill its destiny and triumph over two global superpowers?

The wait for the answer was not a long one.

The Allies and Soviets organized a truce and a combined European counter-offensive against the Empire. The North Sea floating fortress was destroyed when its power reactors were induced to overload by enemy sabotage action. With the immediate threat to Europe removed, the Allies began planning an attack on where the Empire of the Rising Sun calls home: Japan.

With the war developing apace the Supreme Shogunate held a meeting in Tokyo. Allied spies learned of this and an Allied/Soviet joint strike on Tokyo was organized to eliminate the Imperial leadership. While Soviet forces abandoned the offensive to prepare for a resumption of operations against the Allies, the Allied component was equal to the task. Allied forces, under the command of Lissette Hanley and an unnamed Allied Commander, successfully destroyed the Empire's military infrastructure, as well as its military headquarters, the Toyama High Command. With its ability to wage war effectively crippled, the Empire no longer posses a threat to the rest of the world, ending its campaign of conquest.

The Uprising
After the decisive defeat of the Empire at Tokyo Harbor and the death of Emperor Yoshiro, the Empire's citizens feared for the Emperor's only son, Crown Prince Tatsu. However, rather than fall prey to desperation or despair, Tatsu did something no one, not even the Allies, expected: He surrendered, and agreed to cooperate with the Allies to put an end to their war. The Imperial people perceived this surprising move as bold and cowardly in equal measure.

Imperial campaign

Until a future game comes out and says otherwise, all Red Alert 3 - Uprising missions are treated as canon.
One of the remaining Imperial Commanders still loyal to Yoshiro's legacy, commanded by Emperor Tatsu, was assigned to relieve Kenji Tenzai of his defense post in a bid to fend off Soviet incursions, namely the one taking place at Sakhalin Island. However, the Commander's next assignment was of cultural and moral importance: left to their own devices, the Soviets can pretty much defile the Oki Island tomb of the late Emperor Yoshiro, resulting in a disgraceful blow to Imperial morale for generations to come, so the Commander saw to it to deny such an atrocious action from the Soviet invaders led by Moskvin, effectively sending the Soviet invasion falling to pieces.

The fall of Vladivostok was the finishing touch of Emperor Tatsu's show of independence from his Allied slave-drivers. In spite of facing both Allied and Soviet forces in one theater of combat, with Giles poised to quell Tatsu's uprising, the brilliant Imperial commander made sure none of them were a match for the crown jewel of Imperial military robotics: the Giga Fortress.

Vladivostok's destruction, in the end, proved a symbolic victory, for the Empire of the Rising Sun has risen from its ruins just as the Phoenix rises from its ashes. Now Tatsu and his Commander shall start together their trick to the Allied Occupational Forces on Japan, in order to restore the power they lost during the war.

Allied campaign
Despite the Empire's surrender, several Imperial commanders refused to obey Tatsu, and rebelled against the Allied occupational forces. Because of this, the Allied Commander from the previous war returned to duty, and was tasked with quelling these insurrections with assistance from Tatsu.

The Commander's first target was Shinzo Nagama, who retreated to his ancestral home in Shin Iga Province after the Emperor's death. He secretly gathered followers, and prepared to rise against Tatsu. However, the Allied Commander defeated his loyalist forces, and froze his mansion with cryo weapons. The aged Imperial warlord attempted to escape in a disguised Sudden Transport, but was still captured and transferred to Detention Camp Dakota.

With Shinzo's defeat, his forces swore allegiance to Tatsu. However, the uprising was not over. Even after Shinzo's capture, former Shogunate leader Kenji Tenzai was still marshalling his forces in Osaka. Kenji was prepared for the Allied Commander's arrival, and protected his manor with three modified Nanoswarm hives, capable of operating indefinitely, making it indestructible. However, the Commander's forces managed to disable or destroy all of the Nanoswarm hives.

With the help of reinforcements from Tatsu, the Commander destroyed Kenji's manor, forcing Kenji out of hiding. However, Kenji had one last card up his sleeve: a stolen Allied Technology inhibitor and a customized King Oni for his own use. The activation of the Tech Inhibitor disabled all structures and vehicles in the area (except his personal King Oni), and caused all aircraft to crash, including his own. However, the Allies sent in a squad of Cryo Legionnaire and Agent Tanya, who killed all of Kenji's loyal infantry, destroyed the Tech Inhibitor, and froze Kenji's King Oni. Soon, Kenji joined Shinzo in an Allied detention camp.

With Kenji's imprisonment, there is only one last rebelling Imperial Shogun left: Takara Sato. This renegade Imperial commander is planning a full-scale assault on the throne from Miyako. Once again, the Commander succeeded, forcing Takara's forces to retreat. However, Tatsu suddenly reveals that he has being using the Allies for his own purposes. He crowns himself Emperor Tatsu, and claimed that he will drive out the Allies using the surrendered forces of the warlords. For this battle, Tatsu deployed the devastating Giga Fortresses and a captured Allied Chronosphere (which was somehow able to Chronoshift structures) against the Commander. However, he was still defeated in the end, marking the end of the Empire's uprising.

Military doctrine
“ With enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is a true warrior who can master both.

Emperor Yoshiro ”
The Imperial military is a unique blend of Japanese tradition and technology. The Empire maintains its well known discipline and loyalty through the philosophy of bushido and reverence for the ancient warriors known as Samurai. The Imperial order of battle includes high-tech, highly versatile transforming units, more traditional ones and a living weapon - namely a young female commando with psychic powers, Yuriko Omega. The Empire's manpower is naturally not as much as the one of the Soviets and the Allies. However to compensate for this, they developed advanced technologies and mechas, drones and massive robots to fight for them along with their warriors.
Despite believing in honor above all else, the Empire is not above relying on stealth and subterfuge. For example, advanced androids are used to gather intelligence from both the Allies and the Soviets, Shinobis infiltrate enemy bases in the field, and Sudden transports are utilized to ambush the enemy from behind the lines. More recently, female warriors have also been accepted into the ranks of the Imperial Army, despite initial controversies amongst the Emperor's more-conservative subjects.

One of the Empire's greatest technological innovations is the Nanocore, which embodies both the Empire's mastery over nanotechnology and its aggressive, expansionist ideals. It allows the Empire to extend its control far and wide, building structures in distant location from the Construction Yard.

Under Emperor Yoshiro, Imperial military campaigns usually involve attacking an enemy by surprise with overwhelming force and demoralising the enemy into submission. To this end, the Empire concentrated their military operations against symbolic targets as well as using the media to win hearts and minds. This approach did not always work. One of the Emperor's more outspoken (by Imperial standards) critic is Crown Prince Tatsu, who advocated a simpler approach to war - namely killing all who stand in their way.

After the defeat of the Empire, the doctrine of what's left of the Imperial military (which has apparently reorganized into a resistance movement known as the Imperial Final Defense Force) shifted from offense to defense and guerrilla tactics. The Steel Ronins, originally created as a punishment for Imperial soldiers who cracked under pressure or displayed extreme violence, were activated as a last resort weapon for the defense of the Imperial homeland. Archer maidens, women who were rejected by the Rocket Angel ranks, defended the borders of their country with guerrilla-style ambushes. Takara Sato, former chief of the Rocket Angels' First Batallion, was experienced in surprise assaults, and launched a series of successful attacks on the Allied occupation forces.

Technology level
“ Though culturally they are a backward and superstitious people, technologically they are quite advanced.

Premier Cherdenko, on the Empire ”
The Empire of the Rising Sun had an impressive tally of technological achievements. Its military forces combine cutting-edge nanotechnology with traditional Japanese aesthetics. With soldiers wielding both rifles and katanas, men resembling ancient Ashigaru equipped with plasma cannons, and even mysterious ninjas armed with nothing but swords and shurikens fighting alongside towering mechanical walkers and transformable vehicles.
Nanotechnology
The use of nanotechnology is extremely prevalent in the Empire's military, due to its versatility. The most obvious example being the Nanocores used to construct field bases. Various different nanomaterials are also used in Imperial war machines: the Tsunami tank is equipped with nano-deflective armor that can dampen ballistic impact, the Naginata cruiser's hull is made of durable nano-steel, and the Wave-Force Artillery uses carbon nanotube supercapacitors to contain the massive amount of energy it generates. On a larger scale, the Nanoswarm hive houses billions of nanomachines, which can temporarily form an impenetrable barrier at a designated location.
Robotics
The Empire has the technology to create android infiltrators that are nearly indistinguishable from humans. Several of these infiltrators infiltrated both the Allies and the Soviets, and obtained the blueprints for their Mobile Construction Vehicles, allowing the Empire to develop its own. The Emperor also has his own android body double, to protect him from assassination attempts. However, these androids have to be remotely controlled manually and would go berserk if the connection is severed.
In addition, the Empire employs many different types of pilot-assisted robots, from the towering King Oni to the nimble Mecha Tengu. Many of these robots are also transformable, making them extremely versatile on the battlefield. After the end of the war, Imperial scientists created the Giga Fortress - a massive dual-form robot controlled by a sophisticated artificial intelligence.
Kinetic-burst weapons
The primary anti-infantry weapon technology used by the Empire. Kinetic-burst weapons are energy weapons that fire superheated slugs instead of conventional bullets, which cause painful lacerations and burns in unarmored targets. No shell casings or physical projectiles are left behind, making residues from these weapons untraceable, and reducing overall weight-of-equipment. Kinetic-burst carbine is the primary weapon of Imperial warriors, the greatbows used by Archer Maidens, and larger caliber versions are used by vehicles and stationary defenses, such as the Mecha Tengu, Sky-Wing and the Defender VX turret.
Plasma weapons
The plasma-cutter cannon was a unique anti-armor weapon developed by the Empire, capable of melting foot-thick steel in seconds, making them extremely effective against armored vehicles and structures. These weapons are used by the Empire's Tankbuster divisions. In addition, the Tankbusters' sunburst headgears may fire plasma beams straight down to cut out a man-sized hole on any surface, allowing them to burrow underground in order to set up ambushes or avoid being crushed by enemy vehicles.
Wave-Force technology
Supposedly inspired by the Empire's anthem, Wave-Force technology is able to generate a tremendous amount of power. In the case of the Empire's Wave-Force Artillery and the King Oni, uses a powerful generator to harmonize the waveforms of heavy matter particles. As each molecule is aligned, the matter begins to resonate, and soon this closed system takes on tremendous destructive potential. At the moment in which the system's energy can no longer be contained in the supercapacitors, all of it is channeled in a powerful long-range beam, which can tear through most known matter. Despite its destructive power, this beam is extremely focused, preventing unnecessary collateral damage.
This technology supposedly existed in research facilities for years, but engineers at Kanegawa Industries were the first to be able to create a version of the weapon that could effectively operate in the field. The energy weapon requires no bulky ammunition and very infrequent recharging due to a sophisticated energy recovery system. However, the delicate electronics require a nearby clean-room environment and regular maintenance.
The same technology is also used in stationary defenses, such as the Wave-Force tower and the Wave-Force Triguns of the Floating fortresses. Further more, localized wave-force fields can be used to fashion melee weapons, such as the wave-force glaive used by the Steel Ronin and the massive wave-force katanas used by the Shogun Executioner.
Psionics
Psionics is possibly the least understood of the Empire's various technological marvels. What is known is that Yuriko Omega, the Empire's psychic commando, is capable of crushing even the most heavily armored tanks and wiping out large groups of infantry using only her mind. She was also able to project a Psionic Shield that reflects enemy projectiles and dominate the minds of weaker minded foes.
The only other known Imperial Psionic was Izumi, who was considered one of the Empire's most precious assets prior to Yuriko's deployment into the war. While the full extent of her powers are unknown, she apparently had similar powers to Yuriko.
Both of these Psionic commandos were the products of Imperial research into psionics conducted at Shiro Sanitarium before it was utterly destroyed by Yuriko. Reports indicate that a detachment of Archer maidens volunteered to provide extra security for the Shiro facility in exchange for psychic training. However, whether or not Shiro scientists have indeed found a way to train more psychics is unknown.
Cloning technology
Through the use of cloning technology, countless clones of Yuriko were created at the Shiro Sanitarium and possibly other secret facilities. These clones were not as powerful as the original, lacking many of her unique Psionic Talents. However, they were still extremely powerful on the battlefield. They serve as Psionic commandos under Imperial Commanders, and were also used to power the ultimate weapon of the Empire: the Psionic Decimator.
Key people

The following is based on the Imperial campaign of Red Alert 3 and might contradict canon.
Emperor Yoshiro
“ Do not struggle against what is inevitable!

Emperor Yoshiro's Ultimatum ”
The Emperor of the Rising Sun. The longtime ruler of the Empire of the Rising Sun, he is cherished as a living god by his people and the military. Emperor Yoshiro is a traditionalist who strictly follows the code of bushido, the samurai way of the warrior. He fundamentally believes that the Rising Sun's destiny is to rule the entire world, he is Emperor by divine right and that his fate is preordained. He rarely shows emotion and often speaks in a seemingly wise tone.
While the Soviets and Allies were fighting each other, Yoshiro was building up a massive high-tech military force bent on world domination, and demands that both the Allies and Soviets submit to Imperial dominance. In case his Imperial Palace is destroyed, Yoshiro will jump in his own personal King Oni for a last resort.

In the Imperial Campaign, he gave the Imperial Commander the honorable title of Supreme Shogun.

Suki Toyama
“ The opportunity is here to destroy the Russian barbarians once and for all!

Suki before Crumble Kremlin Crumble Begins ”
An Intelligence Officer of the Imperial military and a childhood friend of Tatsu. She performs the same function as Lt. Eva does for the Allies, and like Eva, develops an attraction to the up and coming Commander. In the end of WWIII in the Imperial perspective, she's last seen in a bikini inviting the Commander, now Supreme Shogun, to join her a vacation in the tropics.
Toyoma High Command was named after her family, who have been serving the Emperor for generations.

Crown Prince Tatsu
“ I want their hearts and souls, commander. But I also want Krukov's head on a stick!

Prince Tatsu on the preparations for the Battle of Odessa ”
Emperor Yoshiro's son and heir. He is a major figure in the Imperial armed forces and directs many of the missions against the Empire's enemies. He wants to lead Japan with a more modern outlook, while maintaining his father's traditional way of thinking.
In the Imperial perspective of the War, he is revealed to be responsible for certain Imperial technologies such as the Shogun Executioner and the Howard T. Ackerman android. He takes command after Yoshiro's resignation and orders the commander to swiftly defeat the Soviets and Allies, earning his father's respect. Tatsu is later able to cheer up his father with the prospect that the Empire is creating their own destiny.

As the Crown Prince he fielded his own naval fleet and will take command of it whenever the situation arises. For instance he commissioned his navy to destroy the Allied invaders at Tokyo Harbour but was soon sunk by the Allied navy, ensuring Allied naval supremacy during the battle.

Tatsu served as the puppet leader during the Allied occupation of Japan and was deeply resentful of this. Under the guise of cooperating with the Allies, he aided the Allied effort to quell the uprisings of the rebel Shogunate leaders before betraying the Allies and attempting to rid the Empire of the foreign barbarians.

Commando Yuriko Omega

He was the one that helped mastermind the Imperial Invasion of Russia, and it's his goal to train the next generation of Commanders to carry out the Emperor's will. Kenji is at his best on the battlefield, and his knowledge of Imperial technology is unmatched. Thus, he is known for using vehicles over infantry in battle.
Tenzai Robotics, as reported by Allied forces in their drive for Tokyo, was named after this nationalistic and hyperactive shogun.

Shinzo Nagama
“ I die with honor you will not!

As one of the G7 nations, Japan was a founding member of the Global Defense Initiative. Despite this, Tokyo was identified as a Nod base of operations prior to the First Tiberium War.[12]

Sakura Obata hailed from Japan and was a former member of the Yakuza.[13]

Following the Firestorm Conflict, Japan was classified as Blue Zone B-6. In the initial stage of the Third Tiberium War, it was attacked by Nod forces as part of a coordinated attack on every Blue Zone in the world. Its fate following the Nod attack as well as the subsequent Scrin invasion is unknown.

Behind the scenes
The third faction in Red Alert 3 was originally the Swiss Army in a very early draft.[14]
In the Japanese version of Command & Conquer: Red Alert (iOS), the Empire of the Rising Sun's Japanese name is given as "暁の帝国" (Akatsuki no Teikoku, lit. "Empire of Dawn"). Another translation that is more commonly used among Japanese fans is "旭日帝国" (Asahi no Teikoku, lit. "Empire of the Rising Sun").
Trivia
The Empire of the Rising Sun is, obviously, based on Japanese popular culture and historical periods. The Japanese units and buildings are largely inspired by anime, manga, feudal Japan and the Pacific War.
The Empire's futuristic technological level alludes to Japanese post-war economic boom and the numerous high-tech products manufactured by the advanced Japanese industry.
The Empire's defense contractors and armament manufacturers are influenced by the concept of zaibatsu, a Japanese term referring to business conglomerates with strong political, economical and military connections in the Imperial Japan.
Yoshiro is worshiped by Japanese people as arahitogami (現人神), mirroring a primeval Japanese mythical tale of the Emperors of Japan being descendants of the sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami (天照大神).
Uniquely in Red Alert 3, the Empire of the Rising Sun has no Airfield/Airbase and instead utilizes two aircraft that are build in a Mecha bay and Imperial docks respectively: One is for anti-infantry walker/air superiority fighters (Mecha Tengu) and is built in the Mecha Bay; while the Imperial Docks can build anti-aircraft warfare midget submarines/attack flying wings (Sea-Wing). This could be a reference to the fact that Imperial Japan in real life never had an established any air force and instead had two separate air forces; one for the Army and one for the Navy.
The Empire's militaristic ideology and nationalist policies, like the belief of the "divine destiny" to rule all mankind, are inspired by the nationalistic slogan Hakkō ichiu, which was interpreted that the Japanese were a "divine" race destined to unite the world and adopt expansionist policies to establish dominion over the continental Asia. In the 1930s, the slogan culminated in the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, a Japanese concept to establish a bloc of Asian nations led by the Empire of Japan, which is alluded in the game by the Empire's attempts to establish a global hegemony.
The Japanese actually made claim on Hawaii in 1880-1890s, considering the Kingdom of Hawaii as their protectorate. The Japanese Empire protested against the US-inspired Wilcox rebellion in 1895 (which led to eventual annexation of Hawaii by the United States) and send warships to support their position, but eventually backed off, unwilling to start a war with USA in 1897. The presence of Japanese-controlled Hawaii in Empire of the Rising Sun may indicate that changes in timeline might actually went into the 19th century. [Alternate history info] Japan in HISTRUIT's worldview was the result of the successful modernization policies of Yoshinobu Tokugawa(徳川慶喜), who, with French support, eliminated local radicals, and the shogunate was shifted to a parliamentary government(公議政体).
The coat of arms was adopted by the reconstructed government after World War II.

It follows the Western style of the Coat of Arms, but symbolizes the mystical and mythical world of Japan.
The following is an introduction to the various elements that make up this coat of arms:

Yatagarasu (八咫烏) - Yatagarasu is a giant raven with three legs. It guided Emperor Jinmu on his conquest of Japan. It is also known as the symbol of the sun.

Dragonfly(蜻蛉) - In Japan, the dragonfly is an insect that brings good omens, and Emperor Jinmu mythologically compared the Japanese archipelago to a dragonfly.

The bow and arrow - a symbol of protection from evil in Japan.

Yasakani no Magatama(八尺瓊勾玉),Kusanagi no Turugi(草彅剣),Yata no Kagami (八咫鏡) - These are the three sacred objects(三種の神器) representing the authority of the Tennnou.Magatama are traditional ornaments of ancient Japan, and the actual Yasakani no Magatama is, according to one theory, more than one meter in length. It is also said that the kusanagi no Turugi actually has two branches.Mirrors were also objects of worship in ancient Japan. Reflected in the yata no kagami is the rising sun(日の丸).

Goshichi no Kiri (五七の桐) - symbolizes the power delegated by the Tennnou. It is known as the emblem of Toyotomi Hideyoshi(豊臣秀吉) and the Japanese government.

Wisteria flower (藤の花) - used on the crests of many samurai families, known as the Fujimon (藤紋)

Amenonu Hoko(天沼矛) - It is the legendary spear that stirred the sea when Izanagi (伊邪那岐) and Izanami (伊邪那美), gods in Japanese mythology, created the Japanese archipelago.

雲立涌文様(Kumo Tachiwaki Monnyou) - The pattern resembles a cloud rising up, and has been traditionally used since the Heian period (平安時代,794-1185) as a very auspicious and auspicious opportunity.

Motto: "上和下睦、諧於論事、則事理自通" -
It is taken from the articles of Japan's first codified law "Juusichijou no Kenpou (十七条の憲法)" by Prince Shotoku (聖徳太子).
It means, "If the upper class is kind and the lower class is friendly, and if things are discussed and contented, things will naturally move in the right direction." For two centuries starting after Tokugawa Ieyasu's establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Japan had isolated itself from the rest of the world except for several trading posts with the Netherlands, Qing China, Russia, and Ryukyu. This policy, called Sakoku, would last until the expedition of Russian admiral Yevfimiy Putyatin in 1854, which forced Japan to open the ports of Nagasaki, Shimoda and Hakodate to Russian vessels, which precipitated the signining of further treaties between other western powers and Japan.

However, this series of unequal treaties imposed upon Japan was seen as a humilliation by a large part of the japanese population, and served as catalyst for the foundation of the Sonnō jōi movement (revere the Emperor, expel the Barbarians), which called for the restoration of the Emperor as the sole figurehead of Japan, and the overthrow of the shogunal system. Supporters of the movement inflicted attacks upon the increasing Western presence, included the shelling of foreign shipping in the port of Shimonoseki or the murder of merchants, most remarkably that of british trader Charles Lennox Richardson. During 1864, these actions were successfully countered by armed retaliations by foreign powers, such as the British bombardment of Kagoshima or the brief Russian occupation of Hakodate.

Despite the conflict with Britain, the Satsuma Domain became closer to the British and eventually modernized its forces with assistance from the British, who were eager to counter French influence within the shogunate's government, which had replaced Russian influence over the last decade. Meanwhile the shogunate strived towards the construction of a modern and powerful military: a navy with a core of eight steam warships had been built over several years and was already the strongest in Asia. In 1865, Japan's first modern naval arsenal was built in Yokosuka by the French engineer Léonce Verny.

In 1866, after Sonnō jōi elements seized power in the Chōshū Domain, the Tokugawa Shogunate sent a new military expedition against the renegade domain. However, this expedition was defeated by the newly modernized army of the Chōshū Domain, which in turn caused the Tokugawa to suffer a considerable loss of authority, while Chōshū secretly allied with the Satsuma Domain under the leadership of Satsuma General Saigō Takamori. By mid-1867, the advancing forces of Satsuma and Chōshū occupied Kyoto, and wrote a letter in the Emperor's name demanding the "slaughtering of the traitorous subject Yoshinobu". Against their plans, Yoshinobu accepted their demands and abandoned power. However, his government's structure continued to exist, and Yoshinobu and his clan remained a prominent force in the evolving political order and retained many executive powers, a prospect that the Satsuma and Chōshū domains found intolerable. On January 3, 1868, forces from these domains seized the imperial palace in Kyoto in a coup, and the next day the new Emperor declared his "own" restoration to full power. Satsuma's general Saigō Takamori threatened the assembly with the abolition of the title "shōgun" and ordered the confiscation of Yoshinobu's lands. Enraged by this, Yoshinobu returned to Edo and ordered the immediate subjugation of the rebel domains, sending an army of 15,000 men towards Kyoto. On January 27, both forces met at the Toba and Fushimi gates that led to Kyoto, and battle ensued. Due to numerical superiority and late modernization programs, the Shogun's forces won the battle, forcing Takamori's forces to retreat south after 2 days of battle, while the Imperial Court ultimately sided with the Shogunate. Yoshinobu and Emperor Mutsuhito met in Kyoto's palace, and a westernization of the state aswell as a return of political and legislative power to the Emperor was agreed on, while the Tokugawa dynasty would remain as the Shoguns in control of Japan. Following the conflict, the Shogunate and the Imperial Court agreed to carry out a large-scale modernization of the country, which included reforms such as the abolition of the personal armies of the daimyo and the creation of a national army, the reduction of the number of domains from 200 to 40, and the adjudication of the imperial provinces to the various military domains throughout the country. These reforms were repudiated by many and were the main cause of the Tohoku rebellions of 1874-75. However, these rebellions were quickly crushed and demonstrated the effectiveness and power of the new unified Japanese army. A decade later, Japan had emerged as a new industrialized nation, and had effectively escaped colonialism.

On March 7th, 1891, after several confrontations between Korean isolationists and Japanese, Japan imposed the Japan–Korea Treaty of 1891, forcing Korea, de jure under Chinese suzerainity, open to Japanese trade, and occupied the city of Keijō (formerly Seoul). Disgusted by this action, on April 28th the Qing declared the treaty as null and demanded that Japan withdrew from Korea. After the Chinese diplomats were sent back and the ultimatum was ignored, with Japanese troops coming to clash with the local Chinese garrisons, China's court pressured the Emperor to declare war on Japan. Clashing decisively in Pyongyang, Japan's modernization would be put to test as the outnumbered Japanese troops crippled and forced the surrender of the combined Qing and Korean forces, while in the Battle of the Yalu River the Chinese Beiyang Fleet was annihilated by the Japanese squadron under Enomoto Takeaki. In late 1891, the Qing requested an armistice, and on February 1892, China relinquished control over Korea, the island of Taiwan, and the port of Amoy, which were acquired by Japan. The war marked the end of China's hegemony over East Asia, and established Japan as one of the Far East's dominant powers. List of han

Economy
Japanese economy is largely agrarian, with the local daimyo controlling the production of rice, which depends on the domain. Nevertheless, some industrial cores have grown over the last decades in cities such as Edo, Kyoto, or Kagoshima, and Japan has turned into one of the world's main exporters of coal, in part thanks to the huge deposits found under Japanese soil.

Colonial Empire
Despite the conservative policies of the Shogunate, and in part due to the pressure of the Samurai, Japan pursued a limited colonial expansion which resulted in the annexation of the formerly Chinese island of Taiwan, the port of Amoy, while also submitting the Joseon Dynasty to Japanese rule as a protectorate.

A policy of "Japanization" is currently being pursued and imposed upon the island of Taiwan, whom some Japanese see as a more southern part of the Japanese Archipelago. This has resulted in unrest in the island, but the Japanese have crushed uprising after uprising, and the situation does not look well for the few independentist or pro-Chinese groups that remain in existence.

Culture
Japan's culture is among one of the oldest in the world, the Japanese imperial family in particular being the oldest unbroken line of succession dating back to the Kingdom of Yamato in 660 BC. Among their arts include calligraphy of "Kanji" (China's language carried over), "Ukiyo-e" paintings on tapestry or woodblocks, the "origami" paper-folding technique and the extravagant "Kabuki" or masked "Noh" theater performances.

Despite the recent entrance of Western culture and customs into Japan, the shogunate maintains a fine watch over new social advancements, with the Shinsengumi cracking down on revolutionary ideologies, most remarkably those of left-wing, like socialists or communalists. Nevertheless, the tight grip the bakufu holds over Japanese society is starting to weaken; Episodes of unrest like the bloody Edo Riots of 1902 have forced the government to make some concessions to the masses, like lowering the maximum amount of work hours to 12.
