I think that it wouldn't be a big deal for countries like Japan or Korea to overthrow brathead localgoverments than, soon as they got all buisines things done.

Whos next?

PRC - East and south soastal Africa.
ROC - Madagascar
Korea - Madagascar, Central Asia
Japan - Central Asia, ???

CA... I thought that was the abbreviation for California. That would be really funny though. I thought it read: Japan are to establish it's own colonies in California

Hoho, looks like PRC, ROC and Korea got all of them dumped over Madagascar colonies!
