COF
Emperor
It's not supposed to be Industrial Japan as much as it is supposed to be modern Japan. And weak is far from it lol, you guys underestimate how powerful a combo of science and tourism, the two most powerful yields, can be.
Receive a tourism bonus in the capital whenever a science building is built in the empire.
May not write a Political Treatsie. Mangaka increase Science in the empire by +20% for three turns after their birth.

The Mangaka you posted in your previous post was not.
UU: Mangaka (Replaces Great Writer)
The Mangaka creates Manga, Great works of writing unique to Japan. These Manga generate double tourism yields for 3 turns when Japan discovers a new technology, this time is increased by one turn for every other civ which has not discovered that technology.
Turkmenistan was, as befits the playground of the man who banned yoghurt, basically an exercise in capital-centric Civ design that makes the capital to the direct detriment of other cities. You're probably right about the UA, though. Here's an updated version.

Turkmenistan UA: Turkmenbasy
One third of the percentage bonuses in your Cities is redirected to the Capital, rounded up. Great Works and Theming Bonuses generate Happiness rather than Tourism.

Is that better? I think it's more in line with the whole "Ashgabat is the sandpit of Eternal President Loony" idea, though if anything it's even more abusable by the AI. You can get quite a lot of bonuses later, but because you're getting less yields everywhere that's not Ashgabat, it's kind of hard to get them.
Also, here's the reworked UAE UA.
---
UAE UA: Trucial Sheikhdoms
Generate +1 Tourism for each 200 Gold in your treasury. +1% Wonder Production bonus in the Capital for every 2 Tourism generated in it. National and World Wonders yield +1 Tourism every time you advance to a new Era.

Slightly more balanced, since while the bonus is powerful, it only affects one city - so best get those Culture Wonders out early! =]
How would people feel about switching out the Athlete/Sportsman in East Germany for a Bausoldat unit? (Sorry, DoctorMcGann...) I've found it difficult to come up with a good effect for the Sportsman.
