How to Get the Meiji Restoration – Victoria 3 GigaChad Guide – Japan

Welcome to the GigaChad Japan Guide. I’ll be showing you how to get the Meiji Restoration as Japan in Victoria 3, and some further goals beyond that to ascend your nation into a true GIGACHAD nation. This run has no particular mechanical focus, but instead tries to use every aspect of the game to create a beautiful nation of immense power.
