Hey guys come with me to Japan there are only a few discounted spots left. The more people we get the more trips we can arrange www.trovatrip.com/trip/asia/japan/japan-with-steven-bell-nov-2023
@@stakuyi you could do a part two but instead of vanilla hoi4 japan you play milemiun dawn japan. I know it would be fun, well fun to watch you suffer 😂.
P.S.: I feel like Ultimate Deterrence is a research group for Allies. By doing that focus you get bonuses for research other nations in Allies already researched.
FUN FACT. Japan was a constitutional monarchy (like today) with a functioning government and strong democracy. Then the military went rogue and ignored the government, proclaiming the emperor as the true authority, while also saying that the emperor cannot interfere in something beneath him, like matters of governance. So in effect it went from a britain inspired parliamentary democracy to a military junta. It was never directly ruled by the emperor.
The military consolidated full control of Japan and declared an official military junta, the "imperial rule assistance association" as the sole legal political party in charge of the government. So yes, Japan was originally a constitutional monarchy but by 1940, it was officially a military dictatorship.
Can you imagine how things would have changed if the Taisho era government had maintained power? Japan could have formed a real Pacific Treaty o Organization and this would have fulfilled their desire for East Asian Hegemony with limited bloodshed.
@@The_Viscount Taisho democracy could only get to be right if they solved the ministry lockdown (which was basically unconstitutional) So, what is th ministry lockdown? Well, it's simple, If an government minister does not work, for example, ministry of infrastructure, the government stops. This is normally solvable if we nominate another architect to this ministry Things got fuzzy when we see the angle that to be an ministry of the army or ministry of the navy, you would only be able to recruit someone like an major. If all the majors cross their arms in favour of an random agenda, you would either be obliged to do it, or have your government basically shut down. (And the majors were organized, Remember, 50 years ago, they were the former samurai clans roaming the court of the Tokugawa) While that happened, some junior officers were invading some random parts of china, If the invasion got right, they would not be punished Things got weird when they invaded manchuko, This is where we can say that Japan had basically an military govt. separate from the civilian government, since the civilian government was agaisnt and tried to call off the manchuko thing. However, they won in Manchuko, It was such a big win that some of them wanted to after WW2, keep fighting in Manchuko after japan surrendered, because it was an army-controlled state.
To this day I'm puzzled why japanese political focuses are all exclusive to each other and not grouped in pairs: democracy and communism - coup, fascism and non-aligned - agressive conquest of Asia.
@@stakuyi P.S.: I feel like Ultimate Deterrence is a research group for Allies. By doing that focus you get bonuses for research other nations in Allies already researched.
Because the historical and non-aligned focuses are literally two sides of the same coup. Search 2.26 incident (feb 26 incident), historically it gets shut down. Paradox gives the successful coup scenario as the young officers putting the emperor back in power, hence non-aligned.
@@ShinySalamence1 I'm aware of that. But the whole fascist tree makes no sense IF Japan conquers China(and under the player it does). Meanwhile non-aligned one is presented as more opportunistic one as you still get into war with China, but not as single entity, you get to kick the soviets while they're down, you avoid war with US as long as possible. Do YOU need to look up what war with US entailed to Japan?
Communism and democracy do not mix. Communists would never let people vote their way out of communism (which would prevent the communists from achieving their utopian fantasy).
Isn't the ultimate deterrence thing a research faction so you get bonuses to nukes? Also I thought you had to update an aircraft design once you choose a manufacturing modifier to actually apply the bonuses, it should show the manufacturers symbol on the design once it applies.
The last focus isnt supposed to make a faction , it creates research group ,like the commonwealth , and those contries join that group , works like the focus technology sharing on the generic focus tree
japan deffinetly needs a rework hope it happens with the next dlc(along with nordic focus tree or south america.even be happy with just siam and phillapines to go with japan) side note wish i could join the japan trip but do cotract work so whont know if i can until 1 month in advance😅
The democratic path for Japan is actually pretty good, you can get China into your faction and also grab the european colonies in south east asia. The only proplem is that the focus tree is small and most things you're gonna end up doing is not related to the focuses itself.
I would readily go to Japan with you price isn't the problem the problem for me is passport I don't have one so have fun in Japan ill be excited to hear about it
Just played a dem Japan run. OH GOD, I interrupted this in 42, I didn't even know how to fix things decently unless I had wanted to keep playing till 1987
Soporific Professor voice: Following a quick civil war in December of 1936, a democratic Japan emerged.

Yes, intervention. The Soviets didn’t need to answer the call to arms. Moving on, WW3 came to a quicker end with the defeat of the Soviet Union on the 13th of September, 1944.
This tree could of been really interesting and possibly the best of the Japan trees (forming an alliance/ influencing China against Communism and fighting the Soviets would of been really fun imo)
I think they just need to overhaul democracy to make them able to declare wars, they r too reliant on focus trees which usually arent war focused anyway
Please make a video next about how you tricked people to spend 2500 USD in post-yen crash Japan to get 6 (!) hotel room nights in shared (!) rooms with two dinners so you can go on holiday for free. (4 star rooms with breakfast currently going for 110USD a night. for a whole room, not a shared bed :D )
I would sign up and I'd love to go but-- I got no money, my parents sure as hell aren't going to give me the money, and I got collage to attend. With a teacher who thinks collage lvl math is basic math..
The French focuses are very disproportionate, the Democratic tree is gigantic compared to all the others combined. The Monarchist tree is also quite small.
so i tried hoi4, the nazis declared war on me (france) and i instantly lost. now i know this game is supposed to be historically accurate but this is a little too much. what do
Build a shit load of forts on the border to Belgium and Luxembourg and have a large enough army to hold it while also building up an air force to at least contest the sky. Maybe build a fallback line too. As France, by doing this, you can hold out near indefinitely. Pushing the Germans back is a different thing though
@@thatonedudenextdoor7840 update: since i'm terrible at warfrare since i don't even know how to properly control my units, how to give mass orders, battlelines, spearheads and whatnot, i decided to download millenium dawn and the geopolitics sim is pretty fun and administering economic growth and exercising soft power is way easier for me than wars. 3 years in and i puppeted russia as germany lmao.
@@stakuyi it's a mod set about a decade before the asteroid strike that wiped out the dinosaurs. i'd link it here, but i think the last time i tried, it got eaten by moderation settings.
As cursed as the map got, mans was able to make democratic Japan look fun! Have to give him props for that, I remember my experience being a lot less fun than that 😂
I need more modern HOI4 Millennium Dawn doesn’t quite do it More like CW to Present Everything after normal HOI4 Basically HOI5 So Paradox when You thinking of making an actually good game again?
The British alt history democratic path is pretty powerful, managed to intervene when Germany tried to take the Sudetenland and puppeted Germany and Italy by 1940, then the USSR too when it tried to invade Poland, by 1942. Then went on to beat up Japan and ended the game being the by far most powerful country in the world. Is for a democratic nation, yeah, but it's a very powerful democratic alt history path.

Stakuyi: Worst Japan Ever
Also Stakuyi: Controls almost all of Asia
Have to make the best of a bad thing
Exactly, almost, not all
Considering what they did in world war two that....kinda is the worst Japan ever.
Not gonna lie Democratic Japan is basically overpowered
@@robland3253 And because it's democratic, that means this Japan could potentially end up with a Russian or Chinese president being elected.
I really like the additions R56 makes to the Japanese focus tree.
Only a few creators put a smile on my face when they upload.
11:52 "Philippines lead by a vampire", yeah pretty much the main reason why we changed his face into a younger version of him in the 20 Peso bill/coin

I'm not gonna lie, this is probably my favorite japan path
Larry I think you might've lied (joke)
@@RedLogicYT Not saying it's very good, its not, its just that none of japan's paths are that great, I just like invading the USSR with china

Please post videos abt the Japan trip, would love that personally and i am prolly not the only one
Hell yeah, iam going to wake up in 4 hours... One more video from stakuyi
Japan deserves a full reworking of it's focus tree. It's long overdue.
The democratic path for Japan is actually pretty good, you can get China into your faction and also grab the european colonies in south east asia. The only proplem is that the focus tree is small and most things you're gonna end up doing is not related to the focuses itself.
I would strongly recommend playing Hungary in RT56. Has all sorts of unique paths, such as a "Moderate Restoration" and improved Fascist focus tree.
“We finished off a civil war without a single casualty” is historically accurate for Japan oddly enough
Why is it Japan seems to either have a massive bloody war or nobody gets hurt and there is no inbetween
I am big equestria and war fan just wondering… Julia, equestria, airplanes part 2🤷♂️
Can't wait for you to try a playthrough as Iceland lol.
I would readily go to Japan with you price isn't the problem the problem for me is passport I don't have one so have fun in Japan ill be excited to hear about it
it’s not until November, lots of time to get one if you can
@stakuyi well now there's a new issue I'm going to new York to be in the Macy's day parade so I'm out either way

Just played a dem Japan run. OH GOD, I interrupted this in 42, I didn't even know how to fix things decently unless I had wanted to keep playing till 1987
I just realized the U.S.A got so quiet when Japan became democracy, they probably pushed through the "neutrality act."
