Japan Can Make anything a State

[jmschaub]

I don't know if this is intended or nothing can be done about it. It doesn't bother me playing Japan, it actually makes things easier. But in most European / American nations to grant statehood there must be a land link. But Japan, probably because its an island nation, doesn't have this restriction. Just Wondering....like i said probably a WAD.

It seems like Japan is considered part of two "continents", Asia and Oceania. So they can create states in the Pacific Islands as well as Korea/China, which seems to make sense historically. I assume that's what you mean by being able to make "anything" a state. Did you test this anywhere else? If Japan can create states in Africa or the Americas that would be a prety serious bug.

i hold up the whole pacific region and huge parts of afrika and i cannot create any state not even korea.

but i can grant statehood to colonies.

Please be more precise - have you granted statehood to an african colony whilst playing as Japan. If so, were there any provinces with a japanese immigrant majority. If there was a state without a majority japanese province then could you please send a zipped or rar'd save game file to victoria dot bugs at btinternet dot com.

I'm in the process of collecting african provice from European scum right now...

But so far just in china, borneo, indonesia

Then that is perfectly normal. You can always make a colony on your home continent a state. AFAIK Japan's capital is in Asia therefore it should be able to make a state of any colony in Asia. The islands should be Oceania - which means that Japan is getting an advantage here but one it probably deserves. I don't know why Japan can make states in both these continents - but I don't believe thats a bug.

If they can make states in Africa - THAT'S a bug.

ok... different...

I cannot grant statehood to provinces in afrika etc... but i can grant statehood to provinces in asia... oceania, here everything is fine.

But... i cannot release f.e. Korea into independence nor any other country. I hold up all their provinces and still i cannot create a satelite state "korea", this seems to be a bug for me.
