This run explores Japan, explaining how to build up a market and an industrial economy essentially from scratch in the early game under conditions of total agrarian isolation. This will not necessarily be a run focused on reform. We will be making slow, measured changes in the Japanese system without losing sight of or respect for traditional methods of production and governance.
This episode has a lot of work on the bureaucratic expansion as well as building up the necessary industry to support it, going on in the background, but the primary focus is on moving from Serfdom to a system of Tenant Farmers with the help of the Industrialists. It's a difficult, tense process--will we be able to improve the situation? Or will the Shogunate stop us, keeping Japan cleaving closely to the old ways?
Episode Timeframe: July 1869 - June 1871
