Well at least back then it was nationalist authoritarianism, and not controlled by internationalist forces and finance. (Also they were ruled by the military before not the Emperor. the Emperor worship was more cause he was considered a symbol of the country and connected to religion)
but now the military have lost their power and the country has become a vassal state and vulnerable to international forces and finance.
