Poetry, books, plays, and the like are being published all across the country as people make their language and culture a greater integral part of their identity.
-Cuba finally gets on board with the industrial revolution, importing trains and railway tracks from Ambrosia alongside steam engines for factories and specialists to build steel foundries.

-Masjed is seized, ending the war. Orientale is annexed and the armies return home to jubilant parades.
-Japanese immigrants once again force their way into newly conquered lands, renaming cities in their wake. Unlike in Doon, Orientale is much better developed, well populated, and entrenched. The Japanese communities are unable to quickly overcome the native population and instead remain a powerful minority. In many places, it is easy to tell a person's political alignment simply by asking for the name of their home; if the name is Japanese, they are for the empire, if they say the Orientale name, they are local nationalists. This is used as a convenient identifier for Unit 731 agents to haul off the right targets to concentration camps.
-To celebrate Japan's glorious history, great recent triumphs, and their notoriously poor orchard output, a national anthem is made.
-Harbor defenses are built up in the new territories to further guarantee Japan's security. Military reforms introduce new, modern weapons to the armies, and the fleet is upgraded to newer dreadnought models.
-Research into the field of atomic theory has revealed a theoretical ██████ ██████████ ██████ that Unit 731 has ████ ██████ ████ ███████████. Plans for █ ████ using this new █████ ██████ have been put together and ██████ without any ██████. Except for ███████ █ ████████ the ████ project has █████████.
-Anime is invented. A glorious day for Japan, indeed.
