Empire Over the Horizon: The ISOT Chronicles

Title: Empire Over the Horizon: The ISOT Chronicles

Synopsis:
In January 2014, a cataclysmic four-minute global earthquake upends reality. Vast regions of Asia-China, Mongolia, North and South Korea, Taiwan, Nepal, Bhutan, Arunachal Pradesh, Kashmir, and northern Vietnam-are replaced by the Imperial State of Japan (Dai Nippon Teikoku), a superpower isoted from an alternate timeline. In its original world, this Imperial Japan stood as a titan in a tripolar Cold War against the United States and a now-vanished Nazi Germany, rivaling both in economic, industrial, military, and agricultural strength. Thrust into Our Timeline (OTL), this empire faces a world unprepared for its might.

The first contact ignites in the waters of Okinawa, where the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), led by the awe-inspiring 400-meter Type 001 Aircraft Carrier-modeled after the futuristic USS Nemesis from *Modern Warships*-encounters Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF), a loyal U.S. ally, and the rival U.S. Seventh Fleet. In their timeline, the U.S. was a bitter adversary, and the sudden absence of Nazi Germany only deepens their suspicion. The JMSDF, caught between its modern alliance with America and the overwhelming power of this alternate Japan, struggles to prevent escalation. As advanced technology clashes with historical echoes, will diplomacy bridge the gap between timelines, or will old rivalries plunge OTL into chaos? Dive into a gripping alternate history where an unstoppable empire collides with our world, testing loyalties and reshaping destinies.
