Default yeah

but its not too far fetched to see the Japanese revert to a less peacable constitution and go on a landgrab against China or other areas to get some farmland or other resource.At least not as long as we are talking possibilities in the T2K universe.

And not if the target country is in disarray from the war, or if Japan has taken some hits and the situation could be considered an emergency that would allow leaders to amend or sidestep constitutional law .

In our campaign -Japan has crumbled as a central state and a variety of factions fight eachother for the available resources,mainly driven by hunger and a few mad megalomaniacs that escalate the situation to further their own goals.

One major income source is piracy or in fact conducting large scale raids on coastal areas in neighbouring countries.

a certain General engaged in trading rations for slaves in Japan for a while ,before his blackbirding ways were discovered by MILGOV and he was run out of Osaka with bullets flying everywhere.

Like they were going to share the Japanese market ...

Depending on info release from the national government (in regards too the food situation) they could have set up huge LANDCRAB-breeding facilities ( they allready eat bassically anything in asia) and/or other non-conventional food breeding facilites to fight the upcoming famine....

On the other hand they are immensly overcrowded so going back to a more imperialistic feudal and aggresive system where they would even try a sneak attack on their neighbours would also be a possibility ( why loose possible soldiers in famine when you can give them a rifle, a clip, and a frag - put them in a boat and say you are on your own or attack the chineese

PS: I like strange scenarios I know
