}}{{Quote|Hello, to the people of Japan!|{{i|Johnny Somali}} [[Johnny Somali Thought|Johnny Somali]]}}'''Japan''' is <s>the most glazed</s> a country located in {{i|Asia}} [[East Asia]], made up of many islands. She is a very developed country known for {{i|Technocracy}} [[Technocracy|advanced technology]] along with a stable and safe society with {{i|AuthCon}} [[Authoritarian Conservatism|law and order]]. Japan is the longest lasting {{i|Monarchy}} [[Monarchism|monarchy]] in the world (but only {{i|CerMon}} [[Ceremonial Monarchism|ceremonial]]). Japan has a {{i|Moralism}} [[Moralism|high trust society]], and it really irritates her when foreigners come to take advantage of it.

Japan is famous in the West for sushi, anime, and more, from the iconic bullet trains that whisk passengers across the country at incredible speeds to the intricate craftsmanship seen in traditional tea ceremonies, Japan seamlessly blends her ancient {{i|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|traditions]] with cutting-edge modern innovation.

Her neighbors are {{i|NKorea}} [[North Korea]], {{i|SKorea}} [[South Korea]], and {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China]] to the west; {{i|Taiwan}} [[Taiwan]] to the southwest; and {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] to the north. Her maritime borders are the {{i|Water}} [[Sea of Okhotsk]] to the north, the {{i|Water}} [[East China Sea]] and the {{i|Water}} [[Philippine Sea]] to the south, the {{i|Water}} [[East China Sea]] to the west, and the {{i|Water}} [[Pacific Ocean]] to the east.

Since Japan is a group of islands located right on the {{i|RingofFire}} [[Ring of Fire]], she is very vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis.

==歴史 (History)==
===歴史的背景 (Historical Context)===
{{i|JapEmp}} [[Empire of Japan|Japanese Empire]] had dreamed of being the biggest and strongest empire in the world, surpassing {{i|British Empire}} [[British Empire|Britain]]. So he invaded and ruled Southeast Asia and another {{i|Australia}} [[Australia|county]] which looks white. He committed many war crimes. He also tried to rule all of {{i|ROC}} [[Republic of China|China]] but failed because China refused to give up even in the most extreme situations.

When he attacked {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|America]], America blocked him and killed Japan with two nukes (named Fat Man and Little Boy). So Japan failed to achieve his dream. America then {{i|JapanRawr}} [[Occupation of Japan|occupied Japan]] until 1952.

===新しい始まり (A New Beginning)===
Japan experienced rapid economic growth in the 1950s, becoming the second-largest economy by 1970, restoring her status as a great power. In the early post-war period, she implemented the "tilted production method" policy, which gave priority to the development of the coal and steel industries. Later, in the 1950s and 1960s, Japan introduced a series of {{i|Industrialism}} [[Industrialism|industrial]] rationalization policies to improve the production efficiency and {{i|Internationalism}} [[Internationalism|international]] competitiveness of basic industrial sectors. It also provided support and protection for emerging and growth-type industrial sectors, restricted imports, and limited direct foreign investment in Japan.

However, the asset price bubble burst in 1992 caused Japan to have a decade of economic stagnation and low growth. Despite this, Japan did not sign a {{i|Pacifism}} [[Pacifism|peace treaty]] with {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] due to a territorial dispute over a part of {{i|Sakhalin}} [[Sakhalin|Sakhalin Oblast]] in the south {{i|KurilIslands}} [[Kuril Islands]], called {{i|JapEmpSane}} [[Chishima]] (千島), which was seized by the {{i|USSR2}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] after the {{i|JapEmp}} [[Empire of Japan]] surrendered.

Japan became the third largest economy, after {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|detention camp prisoner labor]] surpassed her in 2011. She can make anything but is very good at advanced futuristic tech-y things like cars, ships, high-speed bullet trains, technology, and electronics. Japanese cartoons, called "anime", became {{i|Earth}} [[Earth|world]]-famous.

On 11 March 2011, an MASSIVE earthquake and tsunami destroyed a huge chunk of Japan's clay, which also caused a nuclear meltdown in {{i|Fukushima}} [[Fukushima]] that poisoned another big chunk of clay. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake recorded in the world since modern seismography began in 1900. It took tens of thousands of lives and caused hundreds of billions of dollars in damage. This was a very bad day for Japan.

===軍事活動 (Military Activities)===
From 2012 to 2018, Japan got angry when {{i|NKorea}} [[North Korea|Kitachōsen]] fired missiles in the {{i|Water}} [[Sea of Japan]].

Japan struggles with her {{i|Pacifism}} [[Pacifism|pacifist]] 1947 {{i|Constitutionalism}} [[Constitutionalism|constitution]] that prevents her from having a normal military. She has the {{i|JapanSelfDef}} [[Japan Self-Defense Forces]], which was the 4th highest ranked in 2015. She also has a security alliance with {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|USA]] and relies on him if the needs for offensive military duties come, and USA wants Japan to do more military activities in the alliance. Disputes with {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|Organ Harvester]] imperializing in foreign waters caused Japan's military resurgence. In 2015, collective self-defense was allowed. Japan now does more regional security in {{i|Asia}} [[East Asia|East]] and {{i|ASEAN}} [[Southeast Asia]]. However, there is still big opposition to changing Article 9 of the 1947 constitution that was written by USA, and the disasters in {{i|Fukushima}} [[Fukushima]] back in 2011 galvanized opposition to nuclear proliferation. The {{i|Tokugawa}} [[Tokugawa Shogunate|samurai]] have not fully returned yet…

And on 14 April 2016, multiple earthquakes struck the island of {{i|Kyushu}} [[Kyūshū]]. This seismic activity was followed by an earthquake in {{i|Ecuador}} [[Ecuador]] three days later, leading him to blame Japan for the damage to his country. There were concerns that the earthquakes might trigger another one on the {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|US]] west coast, but fortunately, nothing happened.

===現代 (Modern Days)===
On 1 May 2019, Crown Prince {{i|CerMon}} [[Ceremonial Monarchism|Naruhito]] became the new Emperor after {{i|CerMon}} [[Ceremonial Monarchism|Akihito]] abdicated the throne, symbolizing the state and unity of the people of Japan. {{i|Shinzo Abe}} [[Abenomics|Shinzo Abe]] resigned, leaving Japan feeling sad, but {{i|FisCon}} [[Fiscal Conservatism|Yoshihide Suga]] was chosen as the new Prime Minister, committed to continuing what Abe aimed to achieve but couldn't.

In 2021, Japan hosted the {{i|Olympics}} [[Olympic Games|Olympics]] <s>though no one came because of COVID restrictions</s>.

On 3 September 2021, Suga resigned due to controversy, and {{i|PatCon}} [[Paternalistic Conservatism|Fumio Kishida]] succeeded him as Prime Minister on 4 October. On 8 July 2022, Shinzo Abe was tragically assassinated by {{i|Psychopathy}} [[Psychopathy|Tetsuya Yamagami]]. On 19 May 2023, Japan announced that she would host the {{i|G7}} [[Group of Seven|G7]] summit in {{i|Hiroshima}} [[Hiroshima]] and held a remembrance for Hiroshima bombing victims.

On 24 August 2023, Japan insisted on releasing "nuclear-contaminated water" into the sea despite various opposition. Though the water wasn't actually that bad (it was filtered a lot) and many {{i|CCP}} [[Chinese Communist Party|CCP]] enthusiasts used it as an opportunity to fearmonger and also excuse hate on Japan. Many Chinese rushed to buy radioactive detectors only to find that the soil they're living on has nuclear waste buried in the ground. Even ''if'' the waters were really radioactive and harmful, the currents of the {{i|Water}} [[Pacific Ocean|ocean]] where the water goes to flows to {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] and {{i|USA}} [[North America]] first.

Today, many people predict that another giant natural disaster is going to strike Japan soon. And the population is of decline <s>because people love anime girls more than real girls</s>.

==社会 (Society)==
===リーガルシステム (Legal System)===
Japan is known for her super strict legal system. Suspects could be held in custody for up to 23 days, and even if they don't charge the suspect they could start a new investigation and reset the clock.

In custody, suspects have no legal rights to make a phone call and can be interrogated without a lawyer present. The right to remain silent won't help much, as {{i|PolState}} [[National Police Agency (Japan)|police]] is known to force confessions through verbal intimidation, physiological pressure and sleep deprivation. These forced confessions are treated as real and concrete evidence, which is why Japan has a conviction rate of 99.8%.

Japan is also one of the only {{i|Dem}} [[Democracy|democratic]] country to use the {{i|DeathPen}} [[Death Penalty]], alongside the {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|United States]]. Justice system is very harsh, inmates can't talk to family and {{i|Medicine}} [[Medicine|medical]] care is usually denied.

===アメリカンワナビー (Western Wannabes)===
Some Japanese people want to distant themselves from their {{i|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|traditional]] culture and go out of their way to become more "Western". This led to these Japanese to consume {{i|ModernLeft}} [[Western New Left|overly-liberal]] values promoted by the Mainstream Media in the West, and most of the Japanese media persons are part of this group of {{i|Elitism}} [[Elitism|elites]]. {{i|Female}} [[Female|Women]] who are a part of this are called "pocahontases" because they do their makeup and hair like {{i|Disney}} [[Disney]]'s {{i|3ball}} [[Powhatan|Pocahontas]].

These types of people are disliked by the general public in Japan because overall, Japan is a {{i|NatCon}} [[National Conservatism|conservative]] society, and these people are obnoxious, acting like they're better than regular Japanese people. Many Japanese media, especially from this group of elites, try to promote degenerate values regarding gender and race, for example "{{i|LGBTQ}} [[LGBTQ+|a women is anything you want it to be]]" and trying to pretend that they know more about {{I|8ball}} [[Africans|black people]] than black people themselves.

Many {{i|Plutocracy}} [[Plutocracy|wealthy]] woke {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|Americans]] come to Japan trying to convince everyone that {{i|Trump}} [[Trumpism|Trump]] is evil.

==トリビア (Trivia)==
*Japan has the highest {{i|DeathWorship}} [[Death Worship|suicide]] rate in the world.
*Many Japanese consider {{i|Jesus}} [[Jesusism|Jesus]] as a mythological figure, like {{i|Zeus}} [[Norse Paganism|Zeus]]. Jesus is featured in multiple Japanese anime, and is not treated with such seriousness as in the {{i|Christi}} [[Christianity|Christian]] countries in the West.
*Many {{I|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|Chinese]] tourists in Japan likes to trespass private property and stand in the middle of the road to take pictures.
*Often in Japan, citizens would surround drunk people with water or drinks to help them rehydrate themselves when they wake up. So sometimes you would see a passed-out man in public surrounded by water bottles.
*Mochi are linked to good health and longevity in Japanese culture. But these large sticky rice cakes become a choking hazard for the elderly and children, especially during New Year celebrations. Japan has tried to make preventions by making mochi safety guidelines and mini mochi snacks. Authorities issue warnings and are on high alert during the New Years time period, and companies markets special sucking devices to save victims. Over 90% of the victims are people over 65.
*In Japan, new drivers have to put a special sticker on their car for a year. If someone tries to cut a car with the sticker off, they will lose one point off their license.
*Sometimes in Japan, when you pay you are expected to place the money in a "placing tray", and the accountant will put the change back in the plate for you to take.
*Many elevators in Japan have seats for the elderly, sometimes even a toilet for emergencies such as earthquakes.
*There are baskets sized for children shopping in shops in Japan. Child items are usually placed at the bottom of the shelves, encouraging children to learn shopping at an early age.
*In Japan, some tourists (esp. from {{i|PRC Societal Model}} [[PRC Societal Model|China]]) are buying stacks of {{i|McDonald}} [[McDonalds|McDonald]] meals just for {{i|Pokemon}} [[Pokémon]] cards, then dumping the food and leaving. It's upsetting locals, staff, and kids.
*Historically, due to the previous {{I|State Shinto}} [[State Shinto]] laws highly restricting religion under the Empire, Japan has been extremely free of any restrictions on religion, allowing for the flourishing of {{I|Cultism}} [[Cultism|cults]] like {{I|AumShrinrikyo}} [[Aum Shinrikyo]] or the {{I|UnificationChurch}} [[Unification Church]]. This was the primary motivating factor in the assassination of {{I|Shinzo Abe}} [[Abenomics|Shinzo Abe]].

Many Chinese rushed to buy radioactive detectors only to find that the soil they're living on has nuclear waste buried in the ground. Even ''if'' the waters were really radioactive and harmful, the currents of the {{i|Water}} [[Pacific Ocean|ocean]] where the water goes to flows to {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] and {{i|USA}} [[North America]] first.

Today, many people predict that another giant natural disaster is going to strike Japan soon. And the population is of decline <s>because people love anime girls more than real girls</s>.

==社会 (Society)==
===リーガルシステム (Legal System)===
Japan is known for her super strict legal system. Suspects could be held in custody for up to 23 days, and even if they don't charge the suspect they could start a new investigation and reset the clock.

In custody, suspects have no legal rights to make a phone call and can be interrogated without a lawyer present. The right to remain silent won't help much, as {{i|PolState}} [[National Police Agency (Japan)|police]] is known to force confessions through verbal intimidation, physiological pressure and sleep deprivation. These forced confessions are treated as real and concrete evidence, which is why Japan has a conviction rate of 99.8%.

Japan is also one of the only {{i|Dem}} [[Democracy|democratic]] country to use the {{i|DeathPen}} [[Death Penalty]], alongside the {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|United States]]. Justice system is very harsh, inmates can't talk to family and {{i|Medicine}} [[Medicine|medical]] care is usually denied.

===アメリカンワナビー (Western Wannabes)===
Some Japanese people want to distant themselves from their {{i|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|traditional]] culture and go out of their way to become more "Western". This led to these Japanese to consume {{i|ModernLeft}} [[Western New Left|overly-liberal]] values promoted by the Mainstream Media in the West, and most of the Japanese media persons are part of this group of {{i|Elitism}} [[Elitism|elites]]. {{i|Female}} [[Female|Women]] who are a part of this are called "pocahontases" because they do their makeup and hair like {{i|Disney}} [[Disney]]'s {{i|3ball}} [[Powhatan|Pocahontas]].

These types of people are disliked by the general public in Japan because overall, Japan is a {{i|NatCon}} [[National Conservatism|conservative]] society, and these people are obnoxious, acting like they're better than regular Japanese people. Many Japanese media, especially from this group of elites, try to promote degenerate values regarding gender and race, for example "{{i|LGBTQ}} [[LGBTQ+|a women is anything you want it to be]]" and trying to pretend that they know more about {{I|8ball}} [[Africans|black people]] than black people themselves.

Many {{i|Plutocracy}} [[Plutocracy|wealthy]] woke {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|Americans]] come to Japan trying to convince everyone that {{i|Trump}} [[Trumpism|Trump]] is evil.

==トリビア (Trivia)==
*Japan has the highest {{i|DeathWorship}} [[Death Worship|suicide]] rate in the world.
*Many Japanese consider {{i|Jesus}} [[Jesusism|Jesus]] as a mythological figure, like {{i|Zeus}} [[Norse Paganism|Zeus]]. Jesus is featured in multiple Japanese anime, and is not treated with such seriousness as in the {{i|Christi}} [[Christianity|Christian]] countries in the West.
*Many {{I|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|Chinese]] tourists in Japan likes to trespass private property and stand in the middle of the road to take pictures.
*Often in Japan, citizens would surround drunk people with water or drinks to help them rehydrate themselves when they wake up. So sometimes you would see a passed-out man in public surrounded by water bottles.
*Mochi are linked to good health and longevity in Japanese culture. But these large sticky rice cakes become a choking hazard for the elderly and children, especially during New Year celebrations. Japan has tried to make preventions by making mochi safety guidelines and mini mochi snacks. Authorities issue warnings and are on high alert during the New Years time period, and companies markets special sucking devices to save victims. Over 90% of the victims are people over 65.
*In Japan, new drivers have to put a special sticker on their car for a year. If someone tries to cut a car with the sticker off, they will lose one point off their license.
*Sometimes in Japan, when you pay you are expected to place the money in a "placing tray", and the accountant will put the change back in the plate for you to take.
*Many elevators in Japan have seats for the elderly, sometimes even a toilet for emergencies such as earthquakes.
*There are baskets sized for children shopping in shops in Japan. Child items are usually placed at the bottom of the shelves, encouraging children to learn shopping at an early age.
*In Japan, some tourists (esp. from {{i|PRC Societal Model}} [[PRC Societal Model|China]]) are buying stacks of {{i|McDonald}} [[McDonalds|McDonald]] meals just for {{i|Pokemon}} [[Pokémon]] cards, then dumping the food and leaving. It's upsetting locals, staff, and kids.
*Historically, due to the previous {{I|State Shinto}} [[State Shinto]] laws highly restricting religion under the Empire, Japan has been extremely free of any restrictions on religion, allowing for the flourishing of {{I|Cult}} [[Cultism|cults]] like {{I|AumShrinrikyo}} [[Aum Shinrikyo]] or the {{I|UnificationChurch}} [[Unification Church]]. This was the primary motivating factor in the assassination of {{I|Shinzo Abe}} [[Abenomics|Shinzo Abe]].

}}{{Quote|Hello, to the people of Japan!|{{i|Johnny Somali}} [[Johnny Somali Thought|Johnny Somali]]}}'''Japan''' is <s>the most glazed</s> a country located in {{i|Asia}} [[East Asia]], made up of many islands. She is a very developed country known for {{i|Technocracy}} [[Technocracy|advanced technology]] along with a stable and safe society with {{i|AuthCon}} [[Authoritarian Conservatism|law and order]]. Japan is the longest lasting {{i|Monarchy}} [[Monarchism|monarchy]] in the world (but only {{i|CerMon}} [[Ceremonial Monarchism|ceremonial]]). Japan has a {{i|Moralism}} [[Moralism|high trust society]], and it really irritates her when foreigners come to take advantage of it.

Japan is famous in the West for sushi, anime, and more, from the iconic bullet trains that whisk passengers across the country at incredible speeds to the intricate craftsmanship seen in traditional tea ceremonies, Japan seamlessly blends her ancient {{i|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|traditions]] with cutting-edge modern innovation.

Her neighbors are {{i|NKorea}} [[North Korea]], {{i|SKorea}} [[South Korea]], and {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China]] to the west; {{i|Taiwan}} [[Taiwan]] to the southwest; and {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] to the north. Her maritime borders are the {{i|Water}} [[Sea of Okhotsk]] to the north, the {{i|Water}} [[East China Sea]] and the {{i|Water}} [[Philippine Sea]] to the south, the {{i|Water}} [[East China Sea]] to the west, and the {{i|Water}} [[Pacific Ocean]] to the east.

Since Japan is a group of islands located right on the {{i|RingofFire}} [[Ring of Fire]], she is very vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis.

==歴史 (History)==
===歴史的背景 (Historical Context)===
{{i|JapEmp}} [[Empire of Japan|Japanese Empire]] had dreamed of being the biggest and strongest empire in the world, surpassing {{i|British Empire}} [[British Empire|Britain]]. So he invaded and ruled Southeast Asia and another {{i|Australia}} [[Australia|county]] which looks white. He committed many war crimes. He also tried to rule all of {{i|ROC}} [[Republic of China|China]] but failed because China refused to give up even in the most extreme situations.

When he attacked {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|America]], America blocked him and killed Japan with two nukes (named Fat Man and Little Boy). So Japan failed to achieve his dream. America then {{i|JapanRawr}} [[Occupation of Japan|occupied Japan]] until 1952.

===新しい始まり (A New Beginning)===
Japan experienced rapid economic growth in the 1950s, becoming the second-largest economy by 1970, restoring her status as a great power. In the early post-war period, she implemented the "tilted production method" policy, which gave priority to the development of the coal and steel industries. Later, in the 1950s and 1960s, Japan introduced a series of {{i|Industrialism}} [[Industrialism|industrial]] rationalization policies to improve the production efficiency and {{i|Internationalism}} [[Internationalism|international]] competitiveness of basic industrial sectors. It also provided support and protection for emerging and growth-type industrial sectors, restricted imports, and limited direct foreign investment in Japan.

However, the asset price bubble burst in 1992 caused Japan to have a decade of economic stagnation and low growth. Despite this, Japan did not sign a {{i|Pacifism}} [[Pacifism|peace treaty]] with {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] due to a territorial dispute over a part of {{i|Sakhalin}} [[Sakhalin|Sakhalin Oblast]] in the south {{i|KurilIslands}} [[Kuril Islands]], called {{i|JapEmpSane}} [[Chishima]] (千島), which was seized by the {{i|USSR2}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] after the {{i|JapEmp}} [[Empire of Japan]] surrendered.

Japan became the third largest economy, after {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|detention camp prisoner labor]] surpassed her in 2011. She can make anything but is very good at advanced futuristic tech-y things like cars, ships, high-speed bullet trains, technology, and electronics. Japanese cartoons, called "anime", became {{i|Earth}} [[Earth|world]]-famous.

On 11 March 2011, an MASSIVE earthquake and tsunami destroyed a huge chunk of Japan's clay, which also caused a nuclear meltdown in {{i|Fukushima}} [[Fukushima]] that poisoned another big chunk of clay. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake recorded in the world since modern seismography began in 1900. It took tens of thousands of lives and caused hundreds of billions of dollars in damage. This was a very bad day for Japan.

===軍事活動 (Military Activities)===
From 2012 to 2018, Japan got angry when {{i|NKorea}} [[North Korea|Kitachōsen]] fired missiles in the {{i|Water}} [[Sea of Japan]].

Japan struggles with her {{i|Pacifism}} [[Pacifism|pacifist]] 1947 {{i|Constitutionalism}} [[Constitutionalism|constitution]] that prevents her from having a normal military. She has the {{i|JapanSelfDef}} [[Japan Self-Defense Forces]], which was the 4th highest ranked in 2015. She also has a security alliance with {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|USA]] and relies on him if the needs for offensive military duties come, and USA wants Japan to do more military activities in the alliance. Disputes with {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|Organ Harvester]] imperializing in foreign waters caused Japan's military resurgence. In 2015, collective self-defense was allowed. Japan now does more regional security in {{i|Asia}} [[East Asia|East]] and {{i|ASEAN}} [[Southeast Asia]]. However, there is still big opposition to changing Article 9 of the 1947 constitution that was written by USA, and the disasters in {{i|Fukushima}} [[Fukushima]] back in 2011 galvanized opposition to nuclear proliferation. The {{i|Tokugawa}} [[Tokugawa Shogunate|samurai]] have not fully returned yet…

And on 14 April 2016, multiple earthquakes struck the island of {{i|Kyushu}} [[Kyūshū]]. This seismic activity was followed by an earthquake in {{i|Ecuador}} [[Ecuador]] three days later, leading him to blame Japan for the damage to his country. There were concerns that the earthquakes might trigger another one on the {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|US]] west coast, but fortunately, nothing happened.

===現代 (Modern Days)===
On 1 May 2019, Crown Prince {{i|CerMon}} [[Ceremonial Monarchism|Naruhito]] became the new Emperor after {{i|CerMon}} [[Ceremonial Monarchism|Akihito]] abdicated the throne, symbolizing the state and unity of the people of Japan. {{i|Shinzo Abe}} [[Abenomics|Shinzo Abe]] resigned, leaving Japan feeling sad, but {{i|FisCon}} [[Fiscal Conservatism|Yoshihide Suga]] was chosen as the new Prime Minister, committed to continuing what Abe aimed to achieve but couldn't.

In 2021, Japan hosted the {{i|Olympics}} [[Olympic Games|Olympics]] <s>though no one came because of COVID restrictions</s>.

On 3 September 2021, Suga resigned due to controversy, and {{i|PatCon}} [[Paternalistic Conservatism|Fumio Kishida]] succeeded him as Prime Minister on 4 October. On 8 July 2022, Shinzo Abe was tragically assassinated by {{i|Psychopathy}} [[Psychopathy|Tetsuya Yamagami]]. On 19 May 2023, Japan announced that she would host the {{i|G7}} [[Group of Seven|G7]] summit in {{i|Hiroshima}} [[Hiroshima]] and held a remembrance for Hiroshima bombing victims.

On 24 August 2023, Japan insisted on releasing "nuclear-contaminated water" into the sea despite various opposition. Though the water wasn't actually that bad (it was filtered a lot) and many {{i|CCP}} [[Chinese Communist Party|CCP]] enthusiasts used it as an opportunity to fearmonger and also excuse hate on Japan. Many Chinese rushed to buy radioactive detectors only to find that the soil they're living on has nuclear waste buried in the ground. Even ''if'' the waters were really radioactive and harmful, the currents of the {{i|Water}} [[Pacific Ocean|ocean]] where the water goes to flows to {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] and {{i|USA}} [[North America]] first.

Today, many people predict that another giant natural disaster is going to strike Japan soon. And the population is of decline <s>because people love anime girls more than real girls</s>.

}}{{Quote|Hello, to the people of Japan!|{{i|Johnny Somali}} [[Johnny Somali Thought|Johnny Somali]]}}'''Japan''' is <s>the most glazed</s> a country located in {{i|Asia}} [[East Asia]], made up of many islands. She is a very developed country known for {{i|Technocracy}} [[Technocracy|advanced technology]] along with a stable and safe society with {{i|AuthCon}} [[Authoritarian Conservatism|law and order]]. Japan is the longest lasting {{i|Monarchy}} [[Monarchism|monarchy]] in the world (but only {{i|CerMon}} [[Ceremonial Monarchism|ceremonial]]). Japan has a {{i|Moralism}} [[Moralism|high trust society]], and it really irritates her when foreigners come to take advantage of it.

Japan is famous in the West for sushi, anime, and more, from the iconic bullet trains that whisk passengers across the country at incredible speeds to the intricate craftsmanship seen in traditional tea ceremonies, Japan seamlessly blends her ancient {{i|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|traditions]] with cutting-edge modern innovation.

Her neighbors are {{i|NKorea}} [[North Korea]], {{i|SKorea}} [[South Korea]], and {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China]] to the west; {{i|Taiwan}} [[Taiwan]] to the southwest; and {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] to the north. Her maritime borders are the {{i|Water}} [[Sea of Okhotsk]] to the north, the {{i|Water}} [[East China Sea]] and the {{i|Water}} [[Philippine Sea]] to the south, the {{i|Water}} [[East China Sea]] to the west, and the {{i|Water}} [[Pacific Ocean]] to the east.

Since Japan is a group of islands located right on the {{i|RingofFire}} [[Ring of Fire]], she is very vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis.

==歴史 (History)==
===歴史的背景 (Historical Context)===
{{i|JapEmp}} [[Empire of Japan|Japanese Empire]] had dreamed of being the biggest and strongest empire in the world, surpassing {{i|British Empire}} [[British Empire|Britain]]. So he invaded and ruled Southeast Asia and another {{i|Australia}} [[Australia|county]] which looks white. He committed many war crimes. He also tried to rule all of {{i|ROC}} [[Republic of China|China]] but failed because China refused to give up even in the most extreme situations.

When he attacked {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|America]], America blocked him and killed Japan with two nukes (named Fat Man and Little Boy). So Japan failed to achieve his dream. America then {{i|JapanRawr}} [[Occupation of Japan|occupied Japan]] until 1952.

===新しい始まり (A New Beginning)===
Japan experienced rapid economic growth in the 1950s, becoming the second-largest economy by 1970, restoring her status as a great power. In the early post-war period, she implemented the "tilted production method" policy, which gave priority to the development of the coal and steel industries. Later, in the 1950s and 1960s, Japan introduced a series of {{i|Industrialism}} [[Industrialism|industrial]] rationalization policies to improve the production efficiency and {{i|Internationalism}} [[Internationalism|international]] competitiveness of basic industrial sectors. It also provided support and protection for emerging and growth-type industrial sectors, restricted imports, and limited direct foreign investment in Japan.

However, the asset price bubble burst in 1992 caused Japan to have a decade of economic stagnation and low growth. Despite this, Japan did not sign a {{i|Pacifism}} [[Pacifism|peace treaty]] with {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] due to a territorial dispute over a part of {{i|Sakhalin}} [[Sakhalin|Sakhalin Oblast]] in the south {{i|KurilIslands}} [[Kuril Islands]], called {{i|JapEmpSane}} [[Chishima]] (千島), which was seized by the {{i|USSR2}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] after the {{i|JapEmp}} [[Empire of Japan]] surrendered.

Japan became the third largest economy, after {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|detention camp prisoner labor]] surpassed her in 2011. She can make anything but is very good at advanced futuristic tech-y things like cars, ships, high-speed bullet trains, technology, and electronics. Japanese cartoons, called "anime", became {{i|Earth}} [[Earth|world]]-famous.

On 11 March 2011, an MASSIVE earthquake and tsunami destroyed a huge chunk of Japan's clay, which also caused a nuclear meltdown in {{i|Fukushima}} [[Fukushima]] that poisoned another big chunk of clay. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake recorded in the world since modern seismography began in 1900. It took tens of thousands of lives and caused hundreds of billions of dollars in damage. This was a very bad day for Japan.

===軍事活動 (Military Activities)===
From 2012 to 2018, Japan got angry when {{i|NKorea}} [[North Korea|Kitachōsen]] fired missiles in the {{i|Water}} [[Sea of Japan]].

Japan struggles with her {{i|Pacifism}} [[Pacifism|pacifist]] 1947 {{i|Constitutionalism}} [[Constitutionalism|constitution]] that prevents her from having a normal military. She has the {{i|JapanSelfDef}} [[Japan Self-Defense Forces]], which was the 4th highest ranked in 2015. She also has a security alliance with {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|USA]] and relies on him if the needs for offensive military duties come, and USA wants Japan to do more military activities in the alliance. Disputes with {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|Organ Harvester]] imperializing in foreign waters caused Japan's military resurgence. In 2015, collective self-defense was allowed. Japan now does more regional security in {{i|Asia}} [[East Asia|East]] and {{i|ASEAN}} [[Southeast Asia]]. However, there is still big opposition to changing Article 9 of the 1947 constitution that was written by USA, and the disasters in {{i|Fukushima}} [[Fukushima]] back in 2011 galvanized opposition to nuclear proliferation. The {{i|Tokugawa}} [[Tokugawa Shogunate|samurai]] have not fully returned yet…

And on 14 April 2016, multiple earthquakes struck the island of {{i|Kyushu}} [[Kyūshū]]. This seismic activity was followed by an earthquake in {{i|Ecuador}} [[Ecuador]] three days later, leading him to blame Japan for the damage to his country. There were concerns that the earthquakes might trigger another one on the {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|US]] west coast, but fortunately, nothing happened.

===現代 (Modern Days)===
On 1 May 2019, Crown Prince {{i|CerMon}} [[Ceremonial Monarchism|Naruhito]] became the new Emperor after {{i|CerMon}} [[Ceremonial Monarchism|Akihito]] abdicated the throne, symbolizing the state and unity of the people of Japan. {{i|Shinzo Abe}} [[Abenomics|Shinzo Abe]] resigned, leaving Japan feeling sad, but {{i|FisCon}} [[Fiscal Conservatism|Yoshihide Suga]] was chosen as the new Prime Minister, committed to continuing what Abe aimed to achieve but couldn't.

In 2021, Japan hosted the {{i|Olympics}} [[Olympic Games|Olympics]] <s>though no one came because of COVID restrictions</s>.

On 3 September 2021, Suga resigned due to controversy, and {{i|PatCon}} [[Paternalistic Conservatism|Fumio Kishida]] succeeded him as Prime Minister on 4 October. On 8 July 2022, Shinzo Abe was tragically assassinated by {{i|Psychopathy}} [[Psychopathy|Tetsuya Yamagami]]. On 19 May 2023, Japan announced that she would host the {{i|G7}} [[Group of Seven|G7]] summit in {{i|Hiroshima}} [[Hiroshima]] and held a remembrance for Hiroshima bombing victims.

On 24 August 2023, Japan insisted on releasing "nuclear-contaminated water" into the sea despite various opposition. Though the water wasn't actually that bad (it was filtered a lot) and many {{i|CCP}} [[Chinese Communist Party|CCP]] enthusiasts used it as an opportunity to fearmonger and also excuse hate on Japan. Many Chinese rushed to buy radioactive detectors only to find that the soil they're living on has nuclear waste buried in the ground. Even ''if'' the waters were really radioactive and harmful, the currents of the {{i|Water}} [[Pacific Ocean|ocean]] where the water goes to flows to {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] and {{i|USA}} [[North America]] first.

Today, many people predict that another giant natural disaster is going to strike Japan soon. And the population is of decline <s>because people love anime girls more than real girls</s>.

==社会 (Society)==
===リーガルシステム (Legal System)===
Japan is known for her super strict legal system. Suspects could be held in custody for up to 23 days, and even if they don't charge the suspect they could start a new investigation and reset the clock.

In custody, suspects have no legal rights to make a phone call and can be interrogated without a lawyer present. The right to remain silent won't help much, as {{i|PolState}} [[National Police Agency (Japan)|police]] is known to force confessions through verbal intimidation, physiological pressure and sleep deprivation. These forced confessions are treated as real and concrete evidence, which is why Japan has a conviction rate of 99.8%.

Japan is also one of the only {{i|Dem}} [[Democracy|democratic]] country to use the {{i|DeathPen}} [[Death Penalty]], alongside the {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|United States]]. Justice system is very harsh, inmates can't talk to family and {{i|Medicine}} [[Medicine|medical]] care is usually denied.

===アメリカンワナビー (Western Wannabes)===
Some Japanese people want to distant themselves from their {{i|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|traditional]] culture and go out of their way to become more "Western". This led to these Japanese to consume {{i|ModernLeft}} [[Western New Left|overly-liberal]] values promoted by the Mainstream Media in the West, and most of the Japanese media persons are part of this group of {{i|Elitism}} [[Elitism|elites]]. {{i|Female}} [[Female|Women]] who are a part of this are called "pocahontases" because they do their makeup and hair like {{i|Disney}} [[Disney]]'s {{i|3ball}} [[Powhatan|Pocahontas]].

These types of people are disliked by the general public in Japan because overall, Japan is a {{i|NatCon}} [[National Conservatism|conservative]] society, and these people are obnoxious, acting like they're better than regular Japanese people. Many Japanese media, especially from this group of elites, try to promote degenerate values regarding gender and race, for example "{{i|LGBTQ}} [[LGBTQ+|a women is anything you want it to be]]" and trying to pretend that they know more about {{I|8ball}} [[Africans|black people]] than black people themselves.

Many {{i|Plutocracy}} [[Plutocracy|wealthy]] woke {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|Americans]] come to Japan trying to convince everyone that {{i|Trump}} [[Trumpism|Trump]] is evil.

==トリビア (Trivia)==
*Japan has the highest {{i|DeathWorship}} [[Death Worship|suicide]] rate in the world.
*Many Japanese consider {{i|Jesus}} [[Jesusism|Jesus]] as a mythological figure, like {{i|Zeus}} [[Norse Paganism|Zeus]]. Jesus is featured in multiple Japanese anime, and is not treated with such seriousness as in the {{i|Christi}} [[Christianity|Christian]] countries in the West.
*Many {{I|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|Chinese]] tourists in Japan likes to trespass private property and stand in the middle of the road to take pictures.
*Often in Japan, citizens would surround drunk people with water or drinks to help them rehydrate themselves when they wake up. So sometimes you would see a passed-out man in public surrounded by water bottles.
*Mochi are linked to good health and longevity in Japanese culture. But these large sticky rice cakes become a choking hazard for the elderly and children, especially during New Year celebrations. Japan has tried to make preventions by making mochi safety guidelines and mini mochi snacks. Authorities issue warnings and are on high alert during the New Years time period, and companies markets special sucking devices to save victims. Over 90% of the victims are people over 65.
*In Japan, new drivers have to put a special sticker on their car for a year. If someone tries to cut a car with the sticker off, they will lose one point off their license.
*Sometimes in Japan, when you pay you are expected to place the money in a "placing tray", and the accountant will put the change back in the plate for you to take.
*Many elevators in Japan have seats for the elderly, sometimes even a toilet for emergencies such as earthquakes.
*There are baskets sized for children shopping in shops in Japan. Child items are usually placed at the bottom of the shelves, encouraging children to learn shopping at an early age.
*In Japan, some tourists (esp. from {{i|PRC Societal Model}} [[PRC Societal Model|China]]) are buying stacks of {{i|McDonald}} [[McDonalds|McDonald]] meals just for {{i|Pokemon}} [[Pokémon]] cards, then dumping the food and leaving. It's upsetting locals, staff, and kids.
*Historically, due to the previous {{I|Shinto}} [[State Shinto]] laws highly restricting religion under the Empire, Japan has been extremely free of any restrictions on religion, allowing for the flourishing of {{I|Cult}} [[Cultism|cults}} like {{I|AumShrinrikyo}} [[Aum Shinrikyo]] or the {{I|UnificationChurch}} [[Unification Church]]. This was the primary motivating factor in the assassination of {{I|Shinzo Abe}} [[Abeism|Shinzo Abe]].

}}{{Quote|Yes, we love this country as it rises forth, rugged, weathered, above the sea, with those thousand homes.|{{I|Norway}} [[Nationalism|Norway's Anthem]] (Yes, we love this country)}}'''Norway''', officially the '''Kingdom of Norway''', is a country located in {{I|Kalmar Union}} [[Northern Europe]]. He has one of the most beautiful anthems in the world. He likes to hike, ski and fish. He is also rich in oil and {{I|Iron}} [[iron]]. His prisons are also the {{i|Welfarism}} [[Welfarism|nicest]].

While he does worry about his fighting chance against {{I|RussiaHat}} [[Russia]], he has {{I|NATO}} [[NATO]] to protect him. He used to have the highest HDI (Human Development Index) in the {{I|Earth}} [[Earth|world]], until {{I|Switzerland}} [[Switzerland]] took that. Norway is ranked as the most {{I|Democracy}} [[Democracy|democratic]] country in the world as of 2025.

Norway has both {{I|Federalism}} [[Federalism|administrative]] and {{I|Politics}} [[Politics|political]] subdivisions on two levels: counties and municipalities.

==Historie (History)==
Norway declares {{I|Separatism}} [[Separatism|independence]] from {{I|Sweden}} [[Sweden]], ending the {{I|Sweden-Norway}} [[Sweden-Norway|union]] that had existed since 1814. {{I|Female}} [[Female|Women]] gained the right to vote in 1913 and continue to advance in {{I|Politics}} [[Politics|political]] and {{I|Social}} [[Society|social]] spheres throughout the 20th century.

In WWI, Norway remains {{I|Pacifism}} [[Pacifism|neutral]]. But Norway experiences {{I|Economy}} [[Economy|economic]] hardships due to disruptions in trade. Norway declares neutrality at the outbreak of World War II, but was {{I|Imp}} [[Imperialism|invaded]] by {{I|Nazi}} [[German Third Reich|Nazi Germany]] on 9 April 1940. The government fled to {{I|UK}} [[United Kingdom|Britain]], establishing a {{I|Norway}} [[Norwegian Government-in-Exile|government-in-exile]]. Norwegian resistance fighters, along with {{I|Allies}} [[Allied Powers|Allied]] forces, engage in acts of sabotage against the {{I|NorwayNazi}} [[Reichskommissariat Norwegen|German occupation]]. On 8 May 1945 Germany surrenders, and Norway is liberated.

Norway becomes a founding member of the {{I|UN}} [[United Nations]] in 1945. Norway joins {{I|NATO}} [[NATO]] on 4 April 1949. The country experiences rapid economic growth, particularly in the oil and gas sectors following the discovery of significant offshore reserves in the {{I|Water}} [[North Sea]] in the late 1960s. This made Norway one of the {{I|Plutocracy}} [[Plutocracy|richest]] countries in the world with a high standard living.

Norway plays an active role in brokering the {{I|Oslo}} [[Oslo]] Accords between {{I|Israel}} [[Israel]] and the {{I|PLO}} [[Palestine Liberation Organization]] (PLO) in the 1990s.

Fairly recently in the 2010s and 2020s, some {{I|Terrorism}} [[Terrorism|terrorists]] {{I|Jihadism}} {{I|Breivik}} are attacking Norway, including by bombing and mass shooting. This further encouraged Norway to continue to be a prominent advocate for peace, human rights, and {{I|Envi}} [[Enviromentalism|environmental]] sustainability on the {{I|Internationalism}} [[Internationalism|global stage]].

==Trivia==
*In Norway, it is uncommon for people to talk to others on a bus or other public transports but it is more common while on something like a nature hike.
*In Norway, 99% of the electricity comes from {{I|Envi}} [[Environmentalism|hydropower plants]].
*Norwiegns introduced the idea of 🍣 salmon on sushi to the {{I|Japan}} [[Japan|Japanese]].
*Everyone's income and earnings are publicly available to see in Norway.
*{{I|Alcohol}} [[Alcoholism|Alcohol]] over 4.75% can only be bought at a government-owned store called “{{I|Vinmonopolet}} [[Vinmonopolet]]” (the Wine Monopoly).
*Some {{I|USA}} [[United States of America|Americans]] mistaken the Norwegian flag for a {{I|CSA war}} [[Confederate States of America|Confederate]] flag and get really offended.
*In Norway, there are 500-year old houses made out of logs 🪵
*Norwegian prisons are {{I|Welfarism}} [[Welfarism|luxurious]]. People get fed fresh vegetables and protein-rich food such as fish balls, people can read books, play tennis and ride horses, people can also get therapy and supervised meditation.
