Japan (Atomic Dreams)

Japan, once a dreaded member of the Axis Powers is now one of the United States's best allies. Following US Occupation Japan found it's place in the world community as a manufacturer of electronics and has a strongly devoted civilian workforce employed by companies that are in a sense part of the community.
== Politics ==
Japan is a Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy focused on economic development, and suppressing communism. Since 1955 the Liberal Democratic Party has held the majority and is opposed by the Japan Socialist Party which seeks to end defense agreements with the United States as part of the party's Anti-Military stance.
=== Political Parties ===
The Liberal Democratic Party is a Market Liberal Social Conservative party invested in Democratic ideals and maintaining good relations with the US. It's opposed by the Japan Socialist Party which seeks organized labor and strict pacifism with one desire being to end mutual defense agreements with the United States. The Japan Socialist Party is allied with the suppressed Communist Party of Japan which seeks an end to the Monarchy and the adaptation of a Soviet Model of Government. This alliance is born of similar labor reforms both parties want to put into effect and a desire to keep relations with the Soviets positive.

Japan does have atomic powered jet cars (known overseas simply as Atomic Jetters) for the purpose of automotive sport racing however it has not embraced atomic power for casual vehicle travel. The domestic automotive companies are slow to even embrace the idea of a fully electric vehicle.
