Japanese Empire (Hitler is an American---Version 1)

As a victor in WW2, Japan, like America, Brazil and Iran, was elevated to superpower status. In order to consolidate their position in South East Asia, Emperor Hirohito suggests that the East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere (Hitler is an American---Version 1) be set up. China is the first to join, since they saw it as repaying a debt for Japan helping them defeat communist insurgents. Eventually, most of South East Asia and Oceania would be under this bloc.

Today, Japan is one of the most technologically advanced countries on the planet, with the best healthcare in the world.
