See how Japan compares →

His reign saw the Meiji Restoration, when Japan abolished feudalism, industrialized and became a major power within decades.

Emperor Meiji sits in the left-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: slightly state-led and strongly authoritarian. The clearest positions are strongly tech-optimist on technology, strongly religious on religion and strongly nationalist on nation.
