Japan

Japan, officially the Empire of Japan, is an Empire that consists of the Japanese islands, Korea, a couple of small coastal towns in China, Sakhalin, and some minor pacific islands.
== History ==
Before the emergence of Jimmu as Emperor, Japan was a island filled with Tribes and Clans. Their Emperor united them together, and has been for over 2000 years. The Imperial house of Yamato is the world's oldest currently reigning Dynasty.
Starting from the 1100s to 1868, Japan was ruled under the Shogun system. With Shoguns ruling different clans across Japan, with their Emperor as their unifying head of state. This was until 1868, when Emperor Meiji, at merely 16 years of age, he rebelled against the Shogun government, and replaced it with a similar system to European monarchies, such as the UK, Germany and Spain. Japan begun expanding into Taiwan, than Korea, than got some of Russia, than topped off was their full-fledged invasion into China, turning it into a puppet state in 1937, it eventually stopped being a puppet, but it is still under the influence of Japan, and many of it's costal cities are under Japanese control.
In the 1960s, animation in Japan began becoming more popular, deemed nowadays as "Anime", Japan also begun advancing in technology, and being where alot of video games are produced since the 80s, this turned Japan into a great power, not to mention it's leadership in the Pact of Tokyo.
