Edit: lol grand indochina just said "ye we're catholic now lol", completely disregarding the fact that Sweden was the most important player, aside from maybe Austria, when it came to the initial beginnings of the reformation and the thirty-years-war. They just went with "Alright, you know those teenie tiny viking settlements that we once set up like 800 years ago? Guess what. The celtics love us. And we're catholic. No clue how that happened, but just roll with it. Anyway: We never turned protestant. Cool change right? What do you mean the entire history as we know it from mid-1600 onward wouldn't be the same? What do you mean Germany wouldn't exist? We're catholic lols, just accept it. Also: We somehow took hold of Chinese colonies. A fucking lot of them. What, the Thai, Vietnamese and Indonesian people are quite difficult subjects to control and the Vietnamese people have fended off two world powers in like the last 80 years? So what? We Swedes had like two trading ships, and now they all love us."

National Figure(s): ?
History: In 1600 the Sengoku Jidai ended, on top was the knew shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tokugawa had successfully brought the entire oda clan into his domain years earlier, and his second in command was Toyotomo Hideyoshi, a trusted friend. Hideyoshi would lead a trade expedition to china in 1610 and die of the bubonic plague. Ieyasu would grieve at his loss and would lose his life only a couple years later to the same disease. This left his unprepared sun in charge. The feudal lords took this to their advantage and the centralized the government. By the in 1703 the Tokugawa War broke out in which the northern lords all fighting for power broke loose. This would begin a gap between the South and the North. The North wanted modernization and secretly began communicating with Russia and Spain to help them overthrow the government, neither thought the deal would be profitable, but Russia would send a ship of emmissaries in attempt to formalize the relations. However Japanese ships (who believed it to be an invading force) would sink it, sparking the HIRMS Izhevsk incident. The northern lords would grow angry and claim it was a hospital ship sent to help a town which had been devastated by an earthquake. The Izhevsk incident would lead the northern lords to sign the secret Sendai Pact. In 1735 Emperor Nakamikado would be persuaded to begin helping the cause. He agreed to go meet the shogun to discuss the possibility of opening up with the west. However Nakamikado would die only 3 hours after reaching the capital of old age. The lords disagreed and claimed the shogun had poisoned him.
Years later Nakamikado's son, Sakuramachi, would persuade the Shogun to allow the west to trade via the port of Nagasaki. They jointly created the Sakuramachi Treaty with the British and Dutch that would allow them to trade but forced them to promise not to try and convert the population to Christianity or damage the Japanese culture. This trade would spread the teachings of the west throughout the island of Kyushu and prompt the Lords their to join the northern lords. They worked closely to create nippon-no-houhou (The way of Japan), this would combine western technology and learning with Japanese culture.
The emperor would work closely with the lords to consolidate his power in the north and in Kyushu, and wielding this he would get the rights for the city of Edo to modernize. Edo would become a manufacturing hub by the 1850s and would see some of the best Ship building and food processing factories in the east. However this cities success was seen else where. Growing tired of the waiting the Kyushu uprising would start in 1876 and whilst it would fail, the emperor got some of his supporters to light a factory on fire in edo. The Emperor would claim that he needed a security force to protect his city and palace.
The Shogun allowed the creation of the Kempeitai, the emperors personal army. He would fill it with fanatical supporters that would be brainwashed into thinking the emperor was a god. They were tought the way of japan, and turned into fierce and orderly troops. They can be found standing perfectly still at street corners and important buildings making sure the city is safe. The emperor would reopen relations with Russia in 1901, sending his personal emissaries to Moscow to "ensure his shipment of sugar would be met on time" of course the real purpose was to make sure the kempeitai received the best equipment. The emperor also allowed Russian companies to create branches in japan, but these branches would be under part ownership of a Japanese conglomerate so technically it was part of a Japanese company.
In 1910 the Edo Expo would begin and would show the ways of the west. The Japanese marveled at this and it effectively has been turning the populace against the Shogun since. The current situation is quite stiff, the emperor and shogun are publicly facing off and the Emperor has gotten support of over 65% of the country to overthrow the shogun.

Government Type: Federal semi-constitutional monarchy
Government Explanation: The New Roman Empire has a similar structure to the old Holy Roman Empire - as there exists numerous states with the Empire, whom all have their own personal King, Duke or Pope to administer the territory - while swearing loyalty to the Monarch. Some regional territories have a legislature alongside their monarch (Venice, Naples) which are elected by the people, while other regions may have an absolutism (Papalcy) which is control of all avenues of the state. The federal structure is composed of the Senate and the Emperor/Empress - the senate being made of one-hundred and one members, which are elected from the various states that make up the Empire (either by the monarch or the people) in charge of the Legislative Branch. While the Emperor/Empress is in charge of the Executive Branch of governance, having an absolute veto on any laws passed and commander-in-chief of the Imperial Armed Forces.
Ideology: Conservative-liberalism, federalism, monarchism.

Ethnicity: German, Italian, French, Berber
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Roman, German
Other Culture(s): Algerian, Morroco, Tunisia, Italian
Type of Economy: Industrial
Economy Explanation: Italy is lacking in most of the important resources that are required to fuel an industrial machine, thus most of their resources are imported from New Carthage - making them reliant upon their North African colony more than other European nations. Although, in turn of industrial power, they are match-to-match with the Kingdom of France.
Important Resources: None(home). Colony(oil, iron, lead, gas, zinc)
Military Explanation: Most of the Imperial Armed Forces had been modeled after the Swiss - a heavy focus on discipline and morale. The Regio Esercito and the Guardia Pretoriana are the only branches of the armed forces which practice the notion of unified command and uniformity. Thus making infighting a rarity. The Regio Esercito has for years been modeling their operations after the Roman, Testudo or Turtle Model - which sees the combination of artillery and foot infantry mixed alongside scouting and engineer companies. This makes the Royal Army slow to move, yet very hard on the defensive and counter-attacks.
Military Branches: Regio Esercito (Royal Army), Regia Marina (Royal Navy), Regia Anti-Aeronautica Difesa (Royal Anti-Air Defense), Ufficio di Pretore (High Command), Guardia Pretoriana (Special Forces)
Army: Around ~3 million soldiers part of the Royal Army, which have integrated artillery and support units, alongside a quality training regiment that had been modeled after that of the Swiss Army.
Navy: Around twice the amount of the ships, that had been possed by the RL Italian Kingdom - with a better quality and better leadership.
Air Force: Non-existent, replaced by the RAAD whose mission is the protection of the air space of the Empire
Other Military Branch(es): The Guardia Pretoriana, also known as the Roman Foreign Legion a volunteer-based special forces battalion - specialized in mountain, desert combat and counter-terrorism force of the Empire.
Goals: Reunification of the Holy Roman Empire (most German territories)
Domestic Issues: Religious conflict, national identity
Foreign Issues: Colonial assimilation, German Republic
National Figure(s): Niccolò Machiavelli, Julius Caesar,
History: The New Roman Empire was born from the ashes of the Holy Roman Empire - which had been completely destroyed in the German Revolution and the following Revolutionary Wars. Those few in the Imperial Army, the German nobility, or Catholics in-general fled to Switzerland which had been turned into a Calvinistic Theocracy after the fall of the Holy Roman Empire resisted only by the Catholic group the Sonderbund. Although with the surge of soldiers, the Sonderbundskrieg soon turned around for the Catholic whom slowly destroyed the Theocracy and also started cracking down on the liberal and mostly Protestant major regions - which had nominally been supportive of the Calvinistic cause.
During the Revolutionary Wars, the survivors declared the German Republic illegitimate and declared the Holy Roman Empire reborn in Helvetia and decrying the German anarchists and liberals that reigned during the Terrorherrschaft - decrying of what was the end result of liberalism and nationalism. Although, the bitter survivors wouldn't manage to regain Germany or their lands - as the eventual war would be resolved in 1820 - with the Germanic Republic keeping and maintaining hold over many german colonies and german lands. Without any hope or chance for regaining the lost territories - the Holy Roman Empire remained as it was, a reactionary rump state of bitter German nobility protected only by Austrian power and subject to languish in their old pride. Until the start of the Italian Wars of Unification around 1840.
King Frederick Augustus, the son of Maria Theresa of Austria (Queen Consort of Saxony) and Anthony of Saxony - the strongest leader among the German Princes, soon proposed the idea of unification of Roman heritage. As the Italian peninsula, at the time was embroiled in bitter civil war as liberal and nationalist elements sought to eliminate Austrian rulership - as around the same time the Kingdom of Sardinia was seeking the notion of Risorgimento. Utilizing this to their advantage, the HRE around the time began supporting the southern kingdoms against the 'Savoy Dictator' - painting the attempts of Risorgimento as an Italian Region of Terror waiting to happen. This would eventually lead to conflict between the Holy Roman Empre and Venice against the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont. The monarch of the time, Victor Emmanuel II would be defeated and his lands would be annexed alongside his French conquests into New Frankia - it would take another two years, before his forces would be defeated on Sardinia and Corsica.
King Augustus would follow this victory by also annexing Naples - after the former had fallen to nationalist rebellions in the hope of joining Sardinia in Risorgimento. Following these two victories, the rest of Italy would be unified either by force or persuasion - as the resulting situation in Europe allowed a one a in a lifetime chance for those in the Italian Peninsula. Uniting under a shared Roman identity and future - the New Roman Empire would be formed in 1859 with the signing of the Imperial Compromise - which would keep the largest states in Italy intact with their own monarchs with their own local governance in exchange for uniting under the New Roman Empire and it's Emperor. Taking advantage of this new rise, the New Roman Empire proved their might as they destroyed the Barbary Pirate States which had been in a state of decay since the defeat of the Ottoman Empires almost three years ago. Annexing them as New Carthage - the first colonies for the New Roman Empire. Although, soon enough after that - the NRE turned attention North and began a massive industrialization and reform campaign to catch up to the Germanic Republic and Austro-Slavian Empire. While military spending also increased, as many feared a coming conflict with the northern Germans.

For all intents, and purposes Korea as a region in real life partly had its big nationalists come out of the woodwork because of Christianity. Even if the Korean form of protestant christianity took on a form that was intent on agitating the Japanese overlords to new levels. Though the Norths state enforced atheism practically saw the presence of catholicism in the North drop to near zero...the first kim had an ironically warm relationship with certain Christian branches.

Early Korea =/= North/South Korea. Especially with this timeline...depending on how much influence the missionaries may have had, realpolitik, the Seohak (New School Kids) could place either a Christian or largely pro-Christian monarch on the throne of a rising Asian power.
Westernization may come from Scandinavia or Austroslavia, and it's probably Catholic holdings, or depending on what/who is believing in what these days. There sure as heck ain't a united state in America to spread Protestantism, so perhaps the Bishop of Rome may help bring the Emperor of Korea into being accepted as a monarch worthy of the old blood of Europe.
The major colonial powers that I know of are Scandinavia, German Republic, Austroslavia, and France. So based upon these factors, Korea (and East Asia as a whole) would most likely be Germanized, (Austria and Super Germany). Which suits well with the Korean language structure...

I am aware, but in regards to Christianization the in real life Japanese occupied Korea, and the two koreas post independence were especially relevant as an example here. That being said Catholicism at least for now has the momentum where protestantism doesn't, but that could change in the following decades.
