Talk:China (Japanese Alaska)

Capital
Nanjing (Nanking) makes more sense as a capital of a China Federation, from a logistical point of view because of its location on the fertile lands along the Yangtze.

Kyoto or Tokyo would be the capital if Japan were to become a part of this federation.

Constituent States
The Han are not ethnically homogeneous, so it's doubtful that they will have one territory. I am also assuming that this Federation was established around the time when the ROC was established in the real history, and that Russia had been weakened.

I would suggest the following list of member states:
 * 1) Canton (present-day  Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan Island)
 * 2) Fukien (present-day Fujian and Taiwan Island)
 * 3) Kiangnan (present-day Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Shanghai)
 * 4) Szechuan (present-day Sichuan and Chongqing)
 * 5) Zhongyuan (present-day Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, and eastern Qinghai)
 * 6) Uyghuristan (present-day Xinjiang and northwestern Qinghai)
 * 7) Tibet (present-day Tibet and southwest Qinghai)
 * 8) Mongolia (present-day Tuva Republic, [Outer] Mongolia and southern [or western] Inner Mongolia)
 * 9) Manchuria (present-day Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, northern [or eastern] Inner Mongolia, Russian Manchuria (up to the Stanovoy Range), and Sakhalin Island)
 * 10) Choseon (present-day North and South Korea)

Notes:
 * Kiangnan and Zhongyuan can probably be broken down further, but more research is required.
 * Whether Choseon and Taiwan are included or not depends on what Japan wants to do with the Federation, which sounds like a Japanese client state. Because both territories would be Japanese colonies at this time in the real world.
 * It might make sense for Japan to join the Federation as well, as the main seat of this powerful entity. It would have to be named something else besides the Chinese Federation, but given that all of East Asia shares very close cultural ties, a suitably East Asian name can be established, like Celestial Federation 天下聯邦 천하연방 てんかれんぽう
 * Whether Russian Manchuria and Sakhalin Island are incorporated into Manchurian Republic depends on how badly beaten up by the Japanese the Russians were.
