V1:
-Changing the ideology of British Malaya and Dutch East Indies to non-aligned just like British Raj (turned democratic if steps up to Dominion), the colonial governors followed suit with appropriate name change for the neutrality party to Volksraad (People’s Council) for Dutch East Indies
-Changing the Trans-Javan Railway (from Batavia to Soerabaja) to follow the main Northern Coastal Railway route (through Semarang) instead of the Southern Railway route (through Djogjakarta). The supply hub location were changed appropriately
-Add the Southern Sumatra Railway (from Palembang to Teloekbetoeng), represented as a level 1 railway from Palembang to Teloekbetoeng (a port bay village that has been used as a main hub connecting the southern third of Sumatra)
-Changing Philippines’ autonomy from puppet to Dominion for Together for Victory owners without Man the Guns and Supervised State for Man the Guns owners with appropriate name change. With the current update, Supervised State would took almost 7 years before becoming independent with 2 autonomy points daily.
-Added the East Coast Railway Line of the Federated Malay States Railways, represented as a level 1 railway from Gemas (south of Kuala Lumpur) to Kota Bahru (completed in 1932) and continues all the way to Hat Yai (completed in 1921)
-Added the Manila Railroad Company two lines of Manila-San Fernando Line (completed in 1892) and Manila-Guinayangan Line (completed in 1917), both as level 1 railway lines.
