(A/N: This version of the Empire of Japan belongs to Wattpad Author WWIIFanHistory. The same goes for its military arsenal. Let me make this absolutely clear: NO, it is NOT the same Japanese Empire we learned from our history books. This variation NEVER committed the war crimes depicted in WW2. In the Kaiserreich Timeline, this version of the Empire of Japan fights FOR humanity and NOT against them.)

Its technological innovation supported the UN's scientific research and development goals, while its military strength enhanced peacekeeping operations. Additionally, its efficient industrial practices contributed to the UN's economic development initiatives.

The Empire of Japan's reputation for technological advancements, efficiency, and discipline drove progress in various fields. It contributed expertise in areas like robotics, mechs, electronics, advanced manufacturing, and infrastructure development, as it had a strong industrial base and technological advancements. Its disciplined work ethic inspired and influenced the work culture within the United Nations. Additionally, it had a well-developed manufacturing sector, particularly in sectors such as electronics, automobiles, and shipbuilding. The empire also had a rich cultural heritage and a strong tradition of craftsmanship, which contributed to promoting cultural exchange and preserving traditional arts and crafts.

The Empire of Japan also contributed its technological expertise and manufacturing capabilities to the UN. It played a role in areas such as electronics production, automotive manufacturing, and shipbuilding, given its well-developed manufacturing sector, particularly in electronics, automobiles, and shipbuilding. Its industries were known for their efficiency, precision, and high-quality products. The empire's manufacturing excellence contributed to the United Nations' initiatives in industrial development, technological transfer, and sustainable manufacturing practices.

The Empire of Japan has undertaken the modernization of its education system, blending Western curricula with a strong focus on Japanese values and traditions. There is an emphasis on the cultivation of moral character, loyalty, and discipline alongside academic and technical training, with the preservation of the elite university system and meritocratic selection of civil servants.

In Japanese society, gradual democratization and the incorporation of modern Western political ideas are balanced with respect for traditional Japanese social structures, as efforts are made to integrate diverse ethnic and regional identities under the banner of a unified Japanese identity. The hierarchical, group-oriented social structure remains, although it has adapted to incorporate more individualistic and egalitarian norms.

The Empire of Japan continues to revere Shinto, samurai traditions, and other elements of classical Japanese culture, while embracing international cultural exchanges and technological advancement, all while preserving a distinct Japanese identity and promoting the Japanese language, literature, arts, and martial arts as sources of national pride and unity.

The most famous of its contributions were Japan's cultural exports, such as anime, manga, traditional arts, and cuisine, which gained global popularity over the course of years. These cultural elements were harnessed within the United Nations to promote cultural exchange, tourism, and creative industries, fostering mutual understanding and appreciation among nations.

The Empire of Japan's military forces, the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces, had a renowned militaristic tradition, emphasizing discipline, honor, and loyalty. They were known for their efficiency and technological advancements, possessing advanced military technology and expertise in areas such as naval warfare, infantry tactics, aerial combat, and space warfare. This expertise could contribute to the UN's defense capabilities, peacekeeping missions, rapid response units, and technological developments and advancements.

The Empire of Japan's ideology, characterized by notions of emperor worship, nationalism, and a desire for regional dominance, continued to shape and influence its cultural identity and historical perspectives within the United Nations. Although the UN operates as a single world government, these elements of the empire's ideologies influenced its cultural identity and perception of global affairs, regional relationships, and cultural heritage.

And so, the Empire of the Rising Sun earned the other name, 'The Rising Dominion', which captured Japan's historical emergence as an imperial power and its ambitious pursuit of regional dominance, signifying its imperialistic rise to power and its desire to establish its dominion over neighboring territories for the Emperors/Empresses and the House of Yamato. Hence, Calina Ilyich Lenin called their characteristic imperialism 'Imperialist Collaborative Samurai Dominion', capturing the image of the samurai class as agents of Japanese imperialism and reflecting the historical role of the warrior class in driving Japan's imperialistic ambitions. This term also highlights the collaborative nature of the socialist and social democratic parties' participation in the ruling coalition, suggesting that they collaborated with the empire's expansionist agenda without effectively challenging or transforming it, but rather only made laws and policies to advocate and defend human rights while protecting the imperialist systems.
