[edit] Organization
Unlike the EA, the Big 5 was an informal alliance with no formal pact, treaty, or rules (although the July 1918 USSR-Japan Treaty can be considered a pact for the alliance). The Big 5 worked only as an alliance of countries. However, Manchukuo, the Japanese puppet state in Manchuria was very closely linked to the Maoist government and the Japanese authorities.
[edit] Other Members
The USSR planned to admit Bulgaria, Romania, and the DRA in the alliance after the war. The Japanese did include their puppet-state of Indochina and "New Indonesia" (former Dutch East Indies) as "honorary members".
