Historical Japan
About This Mod
Improve Japan’s borders and more. Time for colonial exploration is over. Conduct industrial research quickly and strive for wealth and power.
I did so because it seemed strange to me that Ryukyu, paying tribute to the Satsuma clan for the invasion, would be considered a shogunate territory, and Ezo, transferred in 1799, would become a non-stimulating area.
Focusing on the borders of the Kuril Islands prior to the Sakhalin-Kuril Exchange Treaty, the Kuril Islands up to Etorofu Island were designated as a shogunate territory.
Decisions on issues that are relevant in modern times are mostly based on the position of the Japanese government.

Basically, there are no conflicts, but please put "Historical Japan" at the end of the mod loading order in the launcher.
The following changes have been implemented in Japan.
All of Hokkaido, except for the Northern Kuriles, is now Japanese territory.
Kamchatka, which was formerly a Russian territory, is now considered the Northern Kurils.
Siberian region is removed, and the territory of the Ainu turned into the Northern Kuriles (Tokunash - Utsumori-shima) and the entire region of Sakhalin.
Historical adjustment of the Ainu and Japanese populations.
The northern Kuriles were changed to the Russian territory of Hokkaido.
The Ogasawara Islands were moved from Kyushu to Kantō.
The mysterious archipelago over the Northern Mariana Islands was moved to Kanto (what kind of islands are they? Please inform).
Sugarcane cultivation is permitted in the Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan.
The Northern Mariana Islands, originally part of Kyūshū, were moved to Western Micronesia.
The Yaeyama Islands became a Japanese territory.

The Seto Inland Sea is transferred to the jurisdiction of the Chugoku region, where the city of Kure is located, to weaken Shikoku.
Kyushu is modified to produce iron.
Sakhalin has been modified for oil production.
Hokkaido was altered to allow sugar production (sugar beet cultivation began in the 1870s).
The Sakishima Islands east of Taiwan were changed to Japanese territory.
Added Ryukyu Kingdom as a Japanese protectorate.

The Kuril Islands became independent states.
Decisions on the Kuril Islands-Sakhalin Exchange Treaty.
The decision to dispose of Ryūkyū.
The requirements for industrialization have been relaxed due to the increase in the number of areas.
Fixed that the Korean Peninsula had claims to the entire Korean Peninsula (Is that a bug?).
The amount of oil in the central part of the country has been reduced from 30 to 5.
North Borneo (Brunei).
Future plans (WIP)
Rename Edo to Tokyo after the completion of the Meiji Restoration.
After the completion of the Meiji Restoration, change the name of Esochi to Hokkaido and add a buffer to facilitate emigration for about 50 years.
Annexation of Japan and Korea.
Divide Korea into eight provinces.
To transfer southern Sakhalin to Japan after the victory in the Russo-Japanese War.
Change demographics so they are more relevant. Improve literacy rates.
Change the balance of Buddhism/Shinto.
∙ Launch events to open the country to the outside world.
∙ Add Polynesian Taiwan natives.
Add a leadership struggle analogous to German unification, treating each clan as a separate country (as an extended mod).
Foreigners for service
Invite British, French, German, Russian and American experts on every technology, such as railroad, engineering, chemistry, electricity, economics, law, political science, army, navy, etc., and provide them with a big bonus in technology.
...and spend influence and money.
*If you have other ideas, leave them in the comments.
*It would be strange to claim the rights to a mod that is simply cut and pasted code from the original Vic3, so you can use internal data for other mods or anything else.
