Empire of the Rising Sun


 * This article covers Japan in the Red Alert  storyverse, which has split off from the Tiberium-storyverse: for info on this country in the Tiberium-verse, see "Japan"

The Empire of the Rising Sun is the formal name of the imperialist government of Japan.

In Great World War II
Exactly what role Japan played in Great World War II, in which the Allied forces fought the Soviet Union, is unknown.

In Our Timeline, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan fought the Allied powers in the European and Pacific theaters respectively. Both of these governments rose to power as a result of the civil unrest of the Great Depression in the 1930's (in Germany, the Nazis; in Japan, the junta of top military officials who held the real power).

It does not appear that the Allied powers actually fought Japan in GWWII as they did in OTL. Einstein's removal of Adolf Hitler from the timeline is what prevented the rise of Nazi Germany and indirectly led to GWWIII between the Soviets and Allies, but removing Hitler would have had no direct influence on Japan.

In Great World War III
It seems that in some undocumented event, in the Red Alert storyverse Japan became a constitutional monarchy, because the global strategic maps display Japan as controlled by the Allies. Japan seems to have aided the Republic of Korea in repulsing the Soviet Union's advances on the Pacific coast, along the Russian Eastern Territories.

World War 3
After the events of Great World War III, the leaders of the defeated Soviet Union, in a last act of desperation, used their own prototype time-machine to try to alter history by removing Einstein from the timeline. While their primary goal succeeds, due to the many ripple-effects caused by changing history, the results are not as planned:

The Soviet Union still exists, but it has not defeated the Allies in the new timeline. The Allies are still around, though they are different due to the changes in the timeline (i.e. while they still possess some Mirage technology, however, the Prism technology from GWWIII has been lost). However, the changes to the timeline have resulted in the growth of a third world superpower in the East: the Empire of the Rising Sun, based in Japan and those territories of Asia that it has conquered. They possess military technology advanced far beyond human comprehension and their military is also influenced by Anime, the Tsunami Tank MBTs, the Sea Wing Bombers and the King Oni Battle Mechs being prime examples of this.
