Asian Prosperity Sphere

The Asian Prosperity Sphere (APS) in an Economic Combine which includes all the nations of the Pacific rim and East Asia except Australia. It was established by the former nation-state of Japan in an effort to remain competitive with the European Community. This resurrection of a Japanese hegemony in the Pacific quickly prompted other blocs to form Combines. Despite this, the APS has failed to compete against the EC. In reaction the APS has turned inward, resorting to a new closed-door policy like that faced by Admiral Peary in the 19th century.

Government
The APS is led by Japan, which has fully revived the old Shinto religion – complete with ancestor worship and the rule of the royal family. Prince Uchida therefore functions as sole head of the vast empire, advised by representatives from the various countries.
