Booming economy. Strong conservative presence. Island nation with no land borders. Homogenous society.

Don't envy. They have a serious problem with procreating.

Highest debt to GDP ratio in the world. Their debt is 222% larger than their GDP

For comparison, the US is at 76.5%.

Surprisingly, Russia is one of the lowest @ 10%

Both reasons they may cease to exist. They need to either allow for more immigration or do a lot more playing around so to speak.

They are homogeneous as frick. Only country I've ever felt discriminated in and God bless them for it. Its THEIR country and how it should be.

Now that I've been a few times and better understand how to act / present myself I am welcomed more warmly.

Go to Nagano and nearby - especially where the snow monkeys are (I forget that towns name). Closest comparison is the UP.

Ramen is literally the closest thing to gumbo on the planet. Instead of making shrimp stock from heads / tails of shrimp they make pork stock from head / tail / hooves of pigs.

Instead of Okra and rice, cayenne and bread and sassafras they use scallions, cornstarch, eggs, noodles and peppers
