Victoria 3… JAPAN! | Ep 9 | Building an Economy From Scratch!

Japan is COMPLETELY different in vibe from anything we’ve played before. We are isolationists (at least to start!) and must build a complete industry chain from scratch. Do we open our borders? Do we open other people’s borders… by force? Let’s find out!

  1. There is a countdown for elections, and then a pop-up for both government reforms and illegitimate governments. You just keep ignoring them along with many event and decision pop-ups.

    Future Quill, please stop playing on speed 5, past Quill is missing a ton of things and not reading tooltips on screen that answer your questions.

  2. man i tried to do a japan game and i got my ass kicked, and i think it bugged out. It said i had 100% colonized Sakhailin (the northern most island above Hokkaido). but only 75% of is actually colonized and it wont let me settle or fight for the rest ^.^ also learned i expand way to fast

  3. The Shinto/Buddhist divide in Japan is actually pretty interesting in real life. The common saying to describe religion in Japan is "You are born Shinto, but die a Buddhist." This is because all of the life rituals the Japanese follow are based on Shintoism, but all of the death rituals are based on Buddhism. During the Meiji Era, the emperor actually banned Buddhism and enforced strict Shintoism as a form of imperial control (the Emperor is believed to be a literal God in Shintoism). However, after the Americans invaded in 1945, they forced Japan to adopt freedom of religion. This almost immediately reversed 50+ years of religious restrictions as the Japanese immediately went back to Shinto-Buddhism. Or at least in public, Shinto-Buddhism likely never stopped being practiced, just taken out of the public eye.
