So updated plan: reversion to the original. Sort of.
Kazemura will drop the Red Paper and announce their intent to seek reunification under a federation. This will also be a power play by the Empress against her relative, the Mad Emperor (the “baddie” for the next expansion). As we discussed, Chikasu will likely balk at the idea of there being a Monarch, even one limited in power. Shimazu may be more favorable on the whole. That being said Kazemura will try to meddle in the upcoming election discreetly to get a pro-Federation force going. That’ll likely fail beyond Shimazu. Tensions escalate, and everything breaks out over Shimazu; Kazemura will use the moment to attempt to not just (re)claim Shimazu but bring Chikasu into the fold and form the foundations for the federation. Attention will then turn eastward towards that small island that holds the symbolic throne which I should name soon as the Mad Emperor makes his move.
Possible points of divergence include:
1. Chikasu gains a pro-federation government: Kinda self-explanatory. The war gets skipped and the terms of the new foundation are a lot smoother. Heiwana will likely be a lot more democratic on the whole.
2. Something goes awry and Kazemura can’t close the war with Chikasu fast enough: The ensuing war becomes a three way battle for the fate of the archipelago between Kazemura, Chikasu, and the Mad Emperor’s State. Drubang likely complicates it further with their expansion. Things get ugly and destructive. Fast.
3. Kazemura fails: The Mad Emperor will still initiate his expansion and will be in a position to take control of the archipelago as no major force can arise to oppose him in the region. An authoritarian Heiwana would likely emerge unless someone stops him... or another shift takes place that no one could ever imagine...
It’s the commies
