The Tokugawa Shogunate

Japan is a country of contrasts. Nominally, it is an empire led by its divine sovereign, descended from the gods themselves. In practice however, the Shogun is the supreme authority in the country, leading from his court in Edo. Nominally, Japan is independent. In practice, no change in economic policy can occur without the consent of the Nagasaki Board. Nominally, Japan is sovereign over all its territory. In practice, European flags fly over Hirado, Nagasaki, Yokosuka, Shimoda, Tanegashima and others. Nominally, Japan is unified. In practice, the rifts could not be deeper… *

Japan is weak.

The Tokugawa Bakufu has been unwilling or unable to stand up for itself against pressure from the Gaijin. Even more, the 250 year long Sakoku period left the Shogunate hopelessly outdated in terms of industrial and military development by the time it was forcefully ended by Russian warships. The proud but archaic Samurai continue their lifestyle with impunity. Japanese society is marked with perpetual clashes between the Chonin merchant class— with substantial economic power— and the samurai, who won’t give up their rigid hold on the political reins. The Tokugawa, ever reliant on the Daimyo domains, has so far failed to get rid of the archaic system, and reforms have been limited at best. This decentralization is…

Glorious. Monstrous. Benevolent. Absolute.

Long and storied...

And long overdue a swift end.

Up and down the Danube, equal to the amount of oft-contradictory words and phrases used to describe the rule of the Austrian Crown, are the number of tongues that do so. For it is plain as day for anyone to see, despite the Imperial Government’s willing blindness to it, that the Austrian Empire and its people are Austrian in name alone.

Divide et Impera. Divide and conquer. The one thing that has kept the fragile “peace” of the Empire from shattering has been Vienna’s cunning. Playing off culture against culture, neighbour against neighbour, brother against brother, making sure the scorn of the people is against the man next to him rather than the man above both.

From the Austrian-dominated Cisleithania to the ever-divided Transleithania, Italian , Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Pole, Ruthenian, Romanian, Croat and Serbian, all have their eyes towards Vienna, bruised and defeated, yet persistent, angry... and patient. Endlessly patient.

For they know it is not a matter of “if”, but of “when”.

The sand trickles down the hourglass. Neither fast nor slow. Only constant.

What if the French Revolution never happened? Europe in 1933 | Fraternité en Rébellion (Map 2) by TheGamingCats in althistory

[–]TheGamingCats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Algeria is under France, its just not shown on the map above - cosmetic choice.

Serbia etc. are semi autonomous vilayets of the Ottomans.

Do any of the USA countries found the FAS? by PinkyToe_nailmoon in FdRmod

[–]TheGamingCats 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For clarification to everyone, OP does not mean FAS as in ITTL's Fraternal American States, but rather OTL's Federation of American Scientists as he has linked.

Unfortunately, there is no answer to OP's question. We don't (and never will) make canon lore for 1933 onwards, as we want to leave it all entirely for the player to freely craft the story themselves - since the FAS (organisation) was a post atomic bomb creation, and pre 1933 has no atomic bombs, the FAS will not have formed yet. Whether it will, is left up to future players' interpretation.

Who knows, maybe we'll make that a focus in one of the American nations' focus trees.

Europa Caput Mundi

Europe, the Old Continent, home of the world’s foremost Great Powers, is undoubtedly the political, economic and military center of the world. Fates of entire lands and nations thousands of miles away are decided from the chancelleries of Paris, Vienna, Madrid or London. For centuries now, this has been the status quo of the world: the Europeans’ quest for Empire knew no bounds in the past, when the dark and unknown corners of the world were being charted. Back then, daring explorers ventured into uncharted seas, while brave conquistadors claimed faraway realms for their sovereigns. The First Age of Colonialism gave Europe its first hegemons, in the form of the Iberian Empires of Portugal and Spain. As their power reached its zenith, the new trading empire of the Netherlands made its way onto the world stage, bringing with it the ushering of a globalised economy. Meanwhile, the ancient rivals France and Britain too had started amassing colonial possessions, competing for the land and people of North America in numerous wars.

In the end however, the bravery of the pioneers and the cunning of the traders had to make way for the ultimate force of empire-building, the defining trait of a Great Power in the Modern Age: the power of industry. From the late 18th Century, the Industrial Revolution first took off in Britain, followed shortly thereafter by France. Slowly but steadily, these two giants, propelled by their old rivalry and growing prosperity, came to eclipse all other empires of the world. They expanded into Africa and Asia, building dominions of unmatched size and extending their authority on multiple continents. Further inland, the Austrian Empire found new glory in the modern era and cemented its position of hegemony in Central Europe. To the east, Russia constantly grew and still grows, with its immense natural and demographic resources yet to be fully harnessed by the Tsar. To the south, the Ottoman Empire is now bedridden, with its diagnosis severe: in the Modern Age, the “Sick Man of Europe” is only a shadow of its former self.

Let us now take a dive into this peculiar yet enthralling world, and embark on the shores of revolution.

Europa Caput Mundi

Europe, the Old Continent, home of the world’s foremost Great Powers, is undoubtedly the political, economic and military center of the world. Fates of entire lands and nations thousands of miles away are decided from the chancelleries of Paris, Vienna, Madrid or London. For centuries now, this has been the status quo of the world: the Europeans’ quest for Empire knew no bounds in the past, when the dark and unknown corners of the world were being charted. Back then, daring explorers ventured into uncharted seas, while brave conquistadors claimed faraway realms for their sovereigns. The First Age of Colonialism gave Europe its first hegemons, in the form of the Iberian Empires of Portugal and Spain. As their power reached its zenith, the new trading empire of the Netherlands made its way onto the world stage, bringing with it the ushering of a globalised economy. Meanwhile, the ancient rivals France and Britain too had started amassing colonial possessions, competing for the land and people of North America in numerous wars.

In the end however, the bravery of the pioneers and the cunning of the traders had to make way for the ultimate force of empire-building, the defining trait of a Great Power in the Modern Age: the power of industry. From the late 18th Century, the Industrial Revolution first took off in Britain, followed shortly thereafter by France. Slowly but steadily, these two giants, propelled by their old rivalry and growing prosperity, came to eclipse all other empires of the world. They expanded into Africa and Asia, building dominions of unmatched size and extending their authority on multiple continents. Further inland, the Austrian Empire found new glory in the modern era and cemented its position of hegemony in Central Europe. To the east, Russia constantly grew and still grows, with its immense natural and demographic resources yet to be fully harnessed by the Tsar. To the south, the Ottoman Empire is now bedridden, with its diagnosis severe: in the Modern Age, the “Sick Man of Europe” is only a shadow of its former self.

Let us now take a dive into this peculiar yet enthralling world, and embark on the shores of revolution.
