The entire premise of Hatsunia is about being the futuristic country people expected Japan to be.

The question is: if Japan did not lose its economic and technological competitiveness after the 1990s, would it be welcomed as a fellow competitor or viewed as a threat?
In 1991, George Friedman wrote "The Coming War with Japan," believing that the US and Japan would become the main economic and geopolitical rivals after the decline of the USSR.

On August 31, I started playing Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix (Mega 39s)
The ISS, a Soyuz-like rocket, and the EVA pod from 2001: A Space Odyssey can be seen in the music video for Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya! (the Nyan Cat song)

Hatsunia represents an optimistic counterpart to the trope of โJapan as a dystopian Cyberpunk superpowerโ and tech doomerism in general.
So it is inspired by aesthetics like Cyberprep and Frutiger Aero, which emphasize "the positives of technological advancement."
October 21, 2015 in Back to the Future Part II (1989) was intended to be a subversion of dark and gritty cyberpunk media like Blade Runner.
But it was still based on the 1980s idea that Japan would become an economic superpower (the fear of which being known as โJapan-bashingโ).

On October 21, 2015, President Biff Tannen leads the US in an alliance with Japan, both being corrupt corporatocracies.

Small scale government space activity: โjustified scientific researchโ
Large-scale commercial space activity: โevil waste of money that should go to fixing Earthโ

"Japan is the most advanced state in the world, the pioneer of just about every new piece of tech out there."

An alternate history in which India was never partitioned, if it could be kept stable with decentralized regional autonomy and protections for religious minorities, could have mitigated the rise of the Taliban and al-Qaeda and prevented 9/11.
In the 1980s, Hatsunia (ๅ้ณๅฝ) launched the "Martian Moons Discoverer" (MMD) spacecraft to Phobos and Deimos.

Congratulations on the launch of JAXAโs Martian Moons eXploration spacecraft!
It aims to be the first spacecraft to return samples from Marsโs moon Phobos.
I am working on tracing Hatsunia's terrain and rivers (made using GIMP and the Wilbur erosion simulation software) into a vector format in Inkscape.
It is taking a long time because of the high level of detail.
The base of the International Space Elevator in Ace Combat 7 and 8 resembles the X-Seed 4000, a proposed megatall arcology for Tokyo, Japan that would have been taller than Mt. Fuji.
Belka is supposed to be Ace Combat's analogue of WWII Germany, but there are some similarities to Russia.
Both lost influence in the 1990s, and both have revanchists who sow divisions in other countries.
While Yuktobania represents the idea of US-Soviet/Russian reconcilation.
