The fuel stockpile at Port Arthur is now seriously depleted. This is probably because I have aggressively expanded HI throughout China.

Ditto the resource stockpile at Keijo, and likely for the same reason.

How do you keep motivated? Your opponent appears to have done next to nothing all game.

He has not done nothing, far from it. I don't report everything, and he is constantly chipping away at the edges of my temporary Empire.
Consider how you would play against an augmented Japan that is operating on a "uber-defensive" basis? If you are risk averse, which is exactly how the Allies were in reality, it makes life difficult.
Both of us are enjoying the game immensely. Personally I think it makes a great contrast to the usual 6 month pointless spoogefest that seems to comprise most PBEM games. This will go the distance.
