Asian Alliance:
* Japan
* Korea (South)
* (the) Philippines

Western Alliance:
* US
* Australia
* France
* Germany

AXIS OF EVIL:
* China
* Iran (Persia)
* Korea (North)
* Russia

Frontlines:
* South China Sea
* East China Sea
* Korean War / DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone)

Since the arrival of the German Navy in the area, and the increase number of Western powers, I wouldn't be surprised if the AXIS OF EVIL combines the SCS and ECS issues into one, potentially including the Korean War / DMZ as well. It's beneficial for them to do so since the Western powers are here to support:
* Korea (South)
* (the) Philippines
* Taiwan

We, the peoples of Japan, Korea (South), and the Philippines are once again caught in the middle of conflicts between superpowers.
