I could be a prick and just say no.  LOL, but I’m not going to.  I wondered if that’s what you were going to do anyway.

PLEASE NOTE:  I edited the political status to UNPROVOKED, as you DOW’d Japan first.  That way the US can’t join the war, which they could because you had set it to WAR, which is incorrect. UNPROVOKED in the political status means Japan needs a direct DOW against the US, or end of Round 4 happens for the US.

Also, in the interest of fairness, I added 5 PUs to ANZAC; they get the bonus for UK having Malaya and being at war with Japan.
