    So, Afganistan, Iran and Mongolia are listed as “European sphere of influence”, but Japan and Korea are not?

      Yeah, it seems kind of strange to say that Japan has never been in Europe’s sphere of influence considering the history of how the Dutch East India Company and later the British East India Company operated in Japan.

      I think is more in a power relationship mean, like Japan and Korea are influenced by Europe because they are partners, not because they are influencing their government.
