Rheinland is also friend of Gallia, supposedly omnited fact by many.
As for Kusari, there are several homages to the real life Japan. Look at Kyoto Base, it derives name from actual Kyoto, which was place in which emperors were. Shogun Hideyoshi is homage to the real Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who founded his (short-lived) Imperial line and after his death, his former lord-regent Tokugawa Ieyasu won in single battle, crushing loyalists - what later give foundation to his (more homage) Tokugawa Shogunate. Shogun Edo is yet another homage, as actual political power came not from Emperor's city of Kyoto, but from Tokugawa's city of Edo (now: Tokyo). But, as seen many times, both Emperor and Shogun of Japan were usually from the same clan, until Tokugawa kicked in. (Despite being counted as Shogun, Nobunaga Oda never got his title officially as he was assassinated at Temple Honno nearby Kyoto.)
That's why I pressume Emperor was given so marginal role his actual position is only titular.

Nice read. doesnt change that much though, it seems.
As I wrote above, it's small difference, as I pressume that Emperor is in very marginal position, with Shogun being in factual control of Kusari (military regime). That would make Kusari's situation right now even funnier, because Kishiro replaced one regime with another regime. And, to make it even funnier, no one actually stated that Kusari doesn't have a new Emperor, just in the very marginal place as he was.
