User:Seiga Miyako/Differences from OTL (World of the Rising Sun) (Old)

Here is the main differences from this time-line and OTL:


 * Japan had first civilisation (main POD)


 * Technology develops faster, empires and nations start earlier.


 * No Islam, and no Christianity. Main religions here are: Shintō, Buddhism, Hinduism.


 * Byzantine Empire survives.


 * Slovakia, Japan, Britain and Portugal colonise most of the world, with Finland, Norway, Russia, France, and Nepal only colonise Afurika (Africa)


 * All continents have a Japanese name.


 * The Japanese Imperial Calender is used. Though it's not like OTL. It starts from when Emperor Jimmu became the first Emperor of Japan, and the years count off from there. Compare and.


 * Some people turn out different in this time-line. This also includes fictional characters (main example in this time-line: 東方Project). The fictional characters can be created by different artists, companies, or even by the governments.


 * Speaking of which, the 東方Project still exists in TTL, but in a whole new way. Some characters are not in the game as said characters had already been created/drawn by other people in TTL. Only Four characters from the OTL 東方Project do not exist at all in this TTL (see next bullet below).


 * Also Chen, Chiyuri Kitashirakawa, Ran Yakumo, and Flandre Scarlet (all of which are from the 東方Project in OTL) do not exist in any shape or form in this time-line. Simply put, no one in this time-line cared to create/draw such stuff.


 * Also, there is no Flanders, and the names: Flan, Flandre, Flanders, etc. do not exist, at all.


 * Some of the characters from OTL 東方Project that have been drawn/created by other people are as follows: Nue Houjuu, Youmu Konpaku, Rin Kaenbyou, Byakuren Hijiri, Koishi Komeiji, Sanae Kochiya, Sakuya Izayoi, Aya Shameimaru (few more to be added later..). This means that the characters said do not appear in 東方Project games in TTL, because they were already created before the game existed.


 * Most tribes are destroyed early on, hence why a lot less languages.


 * Australia and Colombia/Venezuela have a completely different name, as they are mainly established by Japan.


 * The Mystic Oriental Alliance Union is basically just a LoN and UN, but in completely different form.


 * There was no civilisation appearing in Africa in this time-line, hence why there is land from other nations still being held there.


 * Some sports and companies are different, with some sports (like Formula One in OTL) and companies not existing in this time-line, and instead is replaced with something different (like Need for Speed in TTL, instead of Formula One in OTL), or with something that would have never really existed in OTL.


 * Most clothing companies in OTL do not exist in TTL. Instead, it is replaced with companies that would never exist in OTL for (sometimes) obvious reasons. In TTL, there are only 10-15 clothing companies total. For fast food/restaurants, only 25-30 of them exist (company-wise, and at least 20 of them operate world-wide).


 * Some car companies in OTL are slightly different in TTL (sometimes under a different name).


 * Most of the world is similar to the Eastern World (Eastern Asia to be exact) in TTL save for United Kingdom, New Zealand, Mexico, Canada, Russia, France, and Texas.


 * Fascism does not exist in any way shape or form in this time-line, same goes for the ideology that starts with an 'N' and ends with an 'i', and has an 'a' and 'z' between it. Instead, a bit of fascism ideology is mixed into communism.


 * Also, A-doll Hit-her and Mussolini do not exist in TTL. They both died at birth in TTL. Same goes for their friends who helped them.


 * Some people from OTL have different names in TTL, or don't exist at all.


 * Emperors basically re-place Monarchy. Except for the United Kingdom and New Zealand, however, they have NO power in government politics and are simply just there to continue the tradition. The Emperors have 75% control over the government, but are not like dictators. They are more kind and etc.


 * Also another difference, Tornadoes with +F3 on the scale are named.


 * Kseniya Lukyanenko (Russian: Ксения Лукьяненко), a Russian Storm-chaser, invented what is called the "Kawashiro Typhoon Scale" (Japanese:川代台風スケール). However in France, Russia and the Republic of China, they call it the Vodkastorm Scale (Russian: Водкашторм шкале [Vodkashtorm Shkale], Chinese: 伏特加风暴秤).


 * The Commonwealth use their own Scale for rating Typhoons in the Atlantic Ocean and is called the Commonwealth Typhoon Scale while the Kawashiro Typhoon Scale is used for Typhoons in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Though, when news about a Typhoon is talking about a Typhoon in Indian or Pacific Ocean is broadcast in any Commonwealth nation, both scales are used (as comparison and other things), and vies versa when a Typhoon in an Atlantic is broadcast in any Mystical Oriental Alliance Union nation.


 * Thunderstorms that cause Typhoons and Tatsumaki (Tornadoes), are much more powerful and the storm-cells are larger by width and height (when looked down upon) then OTL. The F6 and F7 exist, and the UK Typhoon's scale has a Category Six and Category Seven. Not only that, but the Fujita scale also officially ranks F6 and F7 as well.


 * Most nations in the world drive on the Left. A few others drive on the right. However, France and Russia drive in the centre (basically driving that would take up two lanes). Texas has no roads at all, as they drive off road anyway.
 * Left driving nations: All members of the Mystical Oriental Alliance Union (except Finland, Portugal, Brazil, Slovakia) All The Commonwealth members (except Mexico), and the Republic of China.
 * Right driving nations: Finland, Portugal, Brazil, Slovakia, and Mexico.
 * Centre driving nations: France, Russia
 * No specific side: Texas (they have no roads, they only drive off road).

(May be more differences, but these are the main ones.)
