Germany's current standing army's authorized strength is 1 million troops. 42 infantry divisions, 6 mountain divisions, 9 panzer divisions, plus corps-level units of regimental and smaller size. The Luftwaffe also has 3 fallschirmjaeger regiments with a 4th forming, but they're not counted as part of the Heer so fall outside the 1 million total.
Well slighltly smaller overall than the Belgo-Dutch combined force, but with more mechanization, and with the armor more concentrated. The Belgian force is the roughly the historic size, and I based the Dutch home strength off of that. Both have considerably more armor, air and AT than historic, thanks to no Great Depression.

If you were looking for something like this, I suppose the place to look would actually be the Phillipines/NEI border regions. Say an unimportant island, ownership somewhat disputed, is suddenly discovered to be at the heart of a large oil field. Claim, counter-claim, someone fires a shot, and the war's on,. That might work.....

Heh, but consider the neighbors: the only country that can realistically threaten Ireland pulled out pretty recently so probably don't want to come back. Chile only has 3 neighbors, and mostly controls one of those, just defeated the second, and is allied to the third.

Also in a SATSUMA vs FAR war, Australia would not stand by its SEAR commitments.
SATSUMA vs FAR or AEGIS are viable scenarios, and could potentially lead to a breakdown of other alliances which would open the way for more wars. One other thing, the US is a big wild card and is more likely to fight with SATSUMA than against her.

Australia and Canada have made very clear before they don't have to abide to the British treaties and the British have indicated they are fine with that.

For once I agree with DF. A Chinese attack on Hainan will be a very localized war. (until either Mexico and/or US decide to take advantage of the situation.) The only problem was the deployment of troops by CG. Ten divisions in Hainan makes any amphibious attempt suicidal. But is a doable scenario.
Satsuma vs. Far IMO will be a Russian wankfest. This will be the kind of war the Russian Army have being training for close to a decade in a silver platter.
US for Satsuma that against them? That is a very interesting piece of news. But DF is right. Hrolf stated US have no interests in the Pacific but one of their possible enemies in their perceived "sphere' being occupied must be tempting for them. Not that will go for it but tempting nevertheless.

As for 'small island'- it's slightly larger than Belgium, which fielded 22 divisions in this period. There is plenty of room for 10 divisions.
