Do realize that the USSR would probably NOT come to your aid if you provoke or attack a NATO country since that would lead to WW3. Also, be thankful it's only sanctions and nothing more at the moment.

And it seems strange that there has been no Japanese revolution yet. But I guess give it time. Empires don't last forever, that's why the French Empire was replaced with a series of departments that are equal to their metropolitan counterparts.

He agreed to come to my banquet, so if he ends up being allied to me, Madagascar, Africa, and Hongma it just might be enough to ward off destruction from either china or the U.S.S.R

I was thinking about RPing as a Japanese rebellion, but I didn't know how that would have worked, but I am now thinking that I could try to RP something out if Korea would accept or the OP would.

The way I have set up my nation (Thailand) is it having become the epicenter of former Japanese soldiers who fled here due to the friendly government and the fact that if they returned to Japan which had become communist, they would have been prosecuted or killed.

The leader of the nation in the shadows is former Field Marshal Hisaichi Terauchi of the Southern Army Group, who is opposed to the Korean occupation and is seeking to build up Thailand so they could retake the country (which would be unrealistic without support) but he is also trying to see if he can smuggle some members of the extended Imperial Family (Japan over the hundreds of years have had many branch offs that have been somewhat forgotten so there are a number of people distantly related to the Imperial Family) since I read the Emperor was supposedly killed out so they can continue the line as Emperor.

So if I am allowed I would like to RP Terauchi arranging for contacts in Japan to start rebelling, causing trouble, that sort of stuff.

If that is aproved, I'll ship weapons in support.

History/IC-wise, I guess the Polarian Empire did colonize those regions. I was being vague af on what the Polarian Empire even colonized, but I guess it was those regions plus some others.

That really does mess-up History, at this point, but this entire thing's an alt-hist so I assume it's okay.

Everything's changing, alot. When I got here, this was a three-way (Capitalism v. Communism-Socialism v. Islam/Theocracy/Religion), now it's a four-way with Nationalism and/or dictatorial regimes.

Again, having a militarized police force makes it hard to incite enough public support for the cause. Japan already receives a great amount of semi-autonomy but that can change quickly, have no worries.

Japan resides in an emergent economy, enjoys a pleasant way of life, maintains Japanese traditions, and is VERY much warweary after literally being obliterated just 4 years ago there shouldn’t be many people wanting more futile bloodshed. Reasons for rebellion are far and few between imo.

It’s kinda whack but fun too. It’s became a whole new game than to what it was, pretty fun story arc. WW3 is basically imminent at this point too.

I know. I thought Polaria's lore/canon was wack, in itself. Also, everyone's claiming land, and that means at some point, I'll have to give away my African colonies (I'm playing both Polaria and Portugal, to remind you) and then those colonies get radicalized by some commies or something.

I'm just having fun, w/ the whole Pagan thing. Plus, it's unique. No one really rps or cares about Paganism (quotations were there because people called everything that wasn't Christian "Pagan," at this point, I might not even use the quotation marks anymore since it gets annoying to type.)

Okay cool I think I might include in my next post a former Japanese commander coming out of hiding and urging the people of Japan to fight back (although with Korean censorship they probably won't get it, and maybe have the Field Marshal send some guys over to convince former army officers and politicians to encourage the people to rise up.

It has only been 4 years since the end of the war, and people in Japan wouldn't be happy to be colonized by Korea, a nation they had been taught to view as inferior, and seeing as though there had been a great deal of propaganda among Japanese citizens during the time, who were taught the ideals of state Shinto, they would probably rise up with encouragement, and if there is a member of the Imperial Family or the extended family that could encourage it, that would incite a sizable pool of the population.

Even today, there are many hardliners who are very ultranationalistic.

I can think of one huge reason. Honor. The fact that Japan, once the strongest and most powerful nation in Asia (if you don't count the colonies of European countries or the USA) is now being subjugated by their former subjects. This is 1949, four years after the end of WW2. No matter how war wearry Japan may be, the fact that the people they used to dominated and rule over now do the same to them is at best a cruel twist of irony and at worst a crime within itself in the eyes of the Japanese populace. If Japan is unacceptably rude and incensitive towards Koreans and Chinese IRL (2020), then the idea of being dominated by Korea is going to be very, very hard to swallow.

It took two nuclear bombs for the USA to make Japan surender IRL, and likely it was a similar case in this timeline. So the idea of Japan not deciding to revolt or at the very least make Korea hurt in a time like this is in my view unlikely at best and impossible at worst.

Correction, it took two nuclear bombs AND an invasion of Manchuria by the Soviet Union to get them to surrender

It's unknown. Korea claimed a while back that they where alive, but knowning how communisim and monarchies mix, thats dubious at best. And yes, sorry for forgetting the Soviet Invasion of Manchuria.

Still, a peaceful Japan? If France couldn't keep Indochina for much longer after 1945, then Korea should really be strugelling against Japan.

1. give me a history dont make me search all over the goddamn place
2. just convert the modern gpa to 1949 money it wont be completely accurate but it will be fine
3. there was no chungas republic in 1949 so no it was not 'real'
4. there is no way your naming your country chungas

Yeah, I find that claim Japan "peacefully" surrendered to not just Korea, but a COMMUNIST Korea very unlikely.

Especially with the monarchy thing. The US had the sense to know that removing the Emperor was a terrible idea: in the people's eyes the Emperor's supposed to be a God and Japan was fully willing to fight to the bitter end even after the bombings and the invasions if it weren't for the Emperor finally getting his act together and saying "no, we're done."

If Japan barely bowed for one of the two industrial superpowers in the world, who had the sense of allowing the monarchy to remain, then they'd most definitely not bow to the whims of not just a former colony and the upholder of an ideology they held in even more contempt then Western Imperialism who doesn't have nuclear weapons, but also one who dissolved the monarchy (and knowing North Korea, probably dissolved the monarch too).

Don't mean to offend at all, I'm just sceptical I suppose. I'm always a bit sceptical whenever one guy decides to take a bunch of territory on a whim while not considering the ethnic and nationalist repercussions (yes, that goes for the France and Canada controlling Denmark thing too).
