{{I|Mongolian}} Mongolian|Gender={{I|Female}} [[Femaleball|Female]]|textcolor=|themecolor=}}{{I|Japan}} '''Japanball''' {{I|Japan}} is a countryball located in East Asia, made up of many islands. She is a very developed countryball
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 Japanball includes sushi. Japan is also the longest lasting {{I|Monarchy}} [[Monarchismball|Monarchy]] in the world.

Her neighbors are {{I|North Korea}} [[North Koreaball]], {{I|South Korea}} [[South Koreaball]], and {{I|China}} [[People's Republic of Chinaball]] to the west; {{I|Taiwan}} [[Taiwanball]] to the southwest; and {{I|Russia}} [[Russiaball]] to the north. Her maritime borders are the {{I|Water}} [[Sea of Okhotskblob]] to the north, the {{I|Water}} [[East China Seablob]] and the {{I|Water}} [[Philippine Seablob]] to the south, the {{I|Water}} [[East China Seablob]] to the west, and the {{I|Water}} [[Pacific Oceanblob]] to the east.

Since Japan is a group of islands located right on the [[File:RingofFire-icon.png]] [[Ring of Fire]], she is very vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis.

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

When he attacked [[File:USA-icon.png]] [[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. [[File:USA-icon.png]] [[United States of America|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 [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]] due to a territorial dispute over a part of [[File:Sakhalin-icon.png]] [[Sakhalin|Sakhalin Oblast]] in the south [[File:KurilIslands-icon.png]] [[Kuril Islands]], called [[File:JapEmpSane-icon.png]] [[Chishima]] (千島), which was seized by the [[File:USSR-icon2.png]] [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] after the [[File:JapEmp-icon.png]] [[Empire of Japan]] surrendered.

Japan became the third largest economy, after [[File:PRC-icon.png]] [[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, 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 <s>almost as bad as the day that she surrendered in WW2</s>. And on April 14, 2016, multiple earthquakes struck the island of [[File:Kyushu-icon.png]] [[Kyūshū]]. This seismic activity was followed by an earthquake in [[File:Ecuador-icon.png]] [[Ecuador]] three days later, leading [[File:Ecuador-icon.png]] [[Ecuador]] to blame Japan for the damage to his country. There were concerns that the earthquakes might trigger another one on the [[File:USA-icon.png]] [[United States of America|US]] west coast, but fortunately, nothing happened.

=== 軍事活動 (Military Activities) ===
From 2012 to 2018, Japan got angry when [[File:North Korea-icon.png]] [[North Korea|Kitachōsen]] fired missiles in the [[File:Water-icon.png]] [[Sea of Japan]].

Japan struggles with her pacifist 1947 constitution that prevents her from having a normal military. She has the [[File:JapanSelfDef-icon.png]] [[Japan Self-Defense Forces]], the 4th highest ranked in 2015. She also have a security alliance with  [[File:USA-icon.png]] [[United States of America|USA]] and relies on it for offensive military duties. [[File:USA-icon.png]] [[United States of America|USA]] wants Japan to do more military activities in the alliance. Disputes with [[File:PRC-icon.png]] [[People's Republic of China|Organ Harvester]] caused Japan's military resurgence. In 2015 collective-self defense was allowed. Japan does more regional security in East and South-East [[File:Asia-icon.png]] [[Asia]]. However, there is still big opposition to changing article 9 of the 1947 constitution that was written by [[File:USA-icon.png]] [[United States of America|USA]], and the disasters in [[File:Fukushima-icon.png]] [[Fukushima]] <code>[[File:LittleJohn-icon.png]] galvanized [[File:LittleJohn-icon.png]]</code> opposition to nuclear proliferation. The [[File:Tokugawa-icon.png]] [[Tokugawa Shogunate|samurai]] have not fully returned yet....

=== 現代 (Modern Days) ===

On May 1, 2019, Crown Prince [[File:CerMon-icon.png]] [[Ceremonial Monarchism|Naruhito]] became the new Emperor after [[File:CerMon-icon.png]] [[Ceremonial Monarchism|Akihito]] abdicated the throne, symbolizing the state and unity of the people of Japan. [[File:Shinzo Abe-icon.png]] [[Abenomics|Shinzo Abe]] resigned, leaving Japan feeling sad, but [[File:FisCon-icon.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|Yoshihide Suga]] was chosen as the new Prime Minister, committed to continuing what [[File:Shinzo Abe-icon.png]] [[Abenomics|Abe]] aimed to achieve but couldn't. In 2021, Japan hosted the [[File:Olympics-icon.png]] [[Olympic Games|Olympics]] <s>though no one came because of COVID restrictions</s>. On September 3, 2021, [[File:FisCon-icon.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|Yoshihide Suga]] resigned due to controversy, and [[File:PatCon-icon.png]] [[Paternalistic Conservatism|Fumio Kishida]] succeeded him as Prime Minister on October 4. On July 8, 2022, former Prime Minister [[File:Shinzo Abe-icon.png]] [[Abenomics|Shinzo Abe]] was shot dead by [[File:Psychopathy-icon.png]] [[Psychopathy|Tetsuya Yamagami]]. On May 19, 2023, Japan announced that she would host the [[File:G7-icon.png]] [[Group of Seven|G7]] summit in [[File:Hiroshima-icon.png]] [[Hiroshima]] and held a remembrance for [[File:Hiroshima-icon.png]] [[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 [[File:CCP-icon.png]] [[Chinese Communist Party|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 [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[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 <s>because people love anime girls more than real girls</s>.

== トリビア (Trivia) ==
* Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world.
* Unlike most [[File:Dem-icon.png]] [[Democracy|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 {{i|SocProg}} [[Social Progressivism|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 {{i|NatCon}} [[National Conservatism|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 {{i|Plutocracy}} [[Plutocracy|wealthy woke Americans]] coming to Japan trying to convince everyone that {{i|Trump}} [[Trumpism|Trump]] is evil.
