lots of biplane trainers, some really wacky medium bombers and some insane ass fighters, yea

its japan/italy ig
I was thinking when it came to planes, they'd have less naval aircraft and more so army/air force planes adapted to the role. Perhaps a Ki-61n't but with folding wings sort of deal? Idk yet

They operate with roughly 1890s era *themes* when it comes to how the military looks. Kettle and Conical helmets, modern rifles (bolt actions, smgs and lmgs obs) but some stuff still left in the early 1900s.
The current vibes, African-Chinese/Japan inspired multiracial and cultural *regional* industrial power. They're vaguely a stand in for the Japanese Empire, though the issues which plague them are not just "large amount of land gained in short time".
For now, I won't get [too much] into the Nyikang-Besse Kingdom (Dynasty?)
