Historical Information
Preceded By:	Occupation of Japan

Japan is a country located in East Asia, made up of many islands. She is a very developed country known for advanced technology. 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 traditions with cutting-edge innovation. Classic food from Japan includes sushi. Japan is also the longest lasting Monarchy in the world.

Her neighbors are North Korea, South Korea, and People's Republic of China to the west; Taiwan to the southwest; and Russia to the north. Her maritime borders are the Sea of Okhotsk to the north, the East China Sea and the Philippine Sea to the south, the East China Sea to the west, and the Pacific Ocean to the east.

Since Japan is a group of islands located right on the Ring of Fire, she is very vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis.

歴史 (History)

歴史的背景 (Historical Context)

Japanese Empire had dreamed of being the biggest and strongest empire in the world, surpassing Britain. So he invaded and ruled South East Asia and another county which looks white. He committed many war crimes. He also tried to rule all of China but failed because China refused to give up even in the most extreme situations.

When he attacked 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 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 its status as a great power. However, the asset price bubble burst in 1992, leading to a decade of economic stagnation and low growth. Despite this, Japan did not sign a peace treaty with Russia due to a territorial dispute over a part of Sakhalin Oblast in the south Kuril Islands, called Chishima (千島), which was seized by the Soviet Union after the Empire of Japan surrendered.

Japan became the third largest economy, after 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, Anime, became world-famous.

自然災害 (Natural Disasters)

On March 11, 2011, an earthquake and tsunami destroyed a huge chunk of Japan's clay. It also caused a nuclear meltdown, poisoning a big chunk of Japan's clay. This was a very bad day for Japan almost as bad as the day that she surrendered in WW2. And on April 14, 2016, multiple earthquakes struck the island of Kyūshū. This seismic activity was followed by an earthquake in Ecuador three days later, leading Ecuador to blame Japan for the damage to his country. There were concerns that the earthquakes might trigger another one on the US west coast, but fortunately, nothing happened.

軍事活動 (Military Activities)

From 2012 to 2018, Japan got angry when Kitachōsen fired missiles in the Sea of Japan.

Japan struggles with her pacifist 1947 constitution that prevents her from having a normal military. She has the Japan Self-Defense Forces, the 4th highest ranked in 2015. She also have a security alliance with USA and relies on it for offensive military duties. USA wants Japan to do more military activities in the alliance. Disputes with Organ Harvester caused Japan's military resurgence. In 2015 collective-self defense was allowed. Japan does more regional security in East and South-East Asia. However, there is still big opposition to changing article 9 of the 1947 constitution that was written by USA, and the disasters in Fukushima galvanized opposition to nuclear proliferation. The samurai have not fully returned yet....

現代 (Modern Days)

On May 1, 2019, Crown Prince Naruhito became the new Emperor after Akihito abdicated the throne, symbolizing the state and unity of the people of Japan. Shinzo Abe resigned, leaving Japan feeling sad, but 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 Olympics though no one came because of COVID restrictions. On September 3, 2021, Yoshihide Suga resigned due to controversy, and Fumio Kishida succeeded him as Prime Minister on October 4. On July 8, 2022, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot dead by Tetsuya Yamagami. On May 19, 2023, Japan announced that she would host the G7 summit in Hiroshima and held a remembrance for Hiroshima bombing victims. On August 24, 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 CCP enthusiasts used it as an opportunity and excuse to hate on Japan. Even if the waters were really radioactive and harmful, the currents of the ocean where the water goes to flows to Russia and North America first.

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

トリビア (Trivia)

• Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world.
• Unlike most democratic countries in the world, Japan still uses the death penalty.
• Japan’s justice system is very strict. Inmates can’t talk to family, medical care is usually denied and they also face abusive interrogation tactics.
• Japan has a 99.8% conviction rate.

アメリカンワナビー (Western Wannabes)

Some Japanese people want to distant themselves from their traditional Asian culture and go out of their way to pbecome more “Western”. This led to these Japanese to consume overly-liberal values promoted by the Mainstream Media in the west. These types of people are disliked by the general public in Japan because overall, Japan is a conservative society, and these people act like they’re better than everyone else. Many Japanese media especially to this group of elites and try to promote these degenerate values, regarding gender and race, like “a women is anything you want it to be” and trying to pretend that they know more about black people than black people themselves. And we can’t forget these wealthy woke Americans coming to Japan trying to convince everyone that Trump is evil.
