Japan

Japan, officially the Empire of Japan, is a country in East Asia. It is mentioned throughout the Resistance Series.

History
Iwao Ryusaki, who designed the IWAO-R Chaingun for the Japanese combat planes, was born in Japan. Freddie Valmore reports on a Japanese attack on a Chimeran Terraformer above Nagoya, Japan. Thousands of Japanese resistance fighters are reportedly killed, but the Japanese vow to fight to the last man.

Trivia
Without the Great Depression, the rise of Adolf Hitler and World War II, the Japanese empire still exists, with Korea, Taiwan, South Sakhalin, Kwantung Leased Territory, and the South Pacific Mandate under Japanese rule. However, Japan did not go to war with other countries, due to the Great Depression and Hitler's influential ideals never existing.
