Don't forget, an invasion map is fluid because entire nations can vanish and boundaries pushed every which way over a period of time. There is no reason to discount the possibility that there had been many other small countries nearby, but Britannia had "Numeralfied" them prior to the Japan invasion.
There is also the possibility that in the face of overwhelming threats from Britannia, many small nations near China voluntarily joined the Federation in exchange for protection.
Don't forget, Japan was only focused in that map because it was a map made for the invasion of Japan. Only those nations which Britannia suspect would interfere or otherwise have any impact at all against the invasion would be worth displayed on the map.
