Japan Expansion: The Southern Colonies

Hello and welcome to this expansion mod for Japan. This small mod adds a tree for the development of the southern colonies within the Japanese Empire, with a particular focus on the South Seas Mandate. It aims to be as historical as possible in its content whilst adding some much-needed buffs to Japan. Overall, it is quite similar to the Manchurian Project branch but with a naval flair that benefits Japan directly.

Notes

This tree is going to be part of a larger mod I am working on. I uploaded it in advance as it seems great by itself as well and in case the other mod isn't to some people's liking.
