Japanball 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 Monarchy in the world.

Her neighbors are North Koreaball, South Koreaball, and People's Republic of Chinaball to the west; Taiwanball to the southwest; and Russiaball to the north. Her maritime borders are the File:Water-icon.png Sea of Okhotskblob to the north, the File:Water-icon.png East China Seablob and the File:Water-icon.png Philippine Seablob to the south, the File:Water-icon.png East China Seablob to the west, and the File:Water-icon.png 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 Japanese Empire had dreamed of being the biggest and strongest empire in the world, surpassing File:British Empire-icon.png 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 File:ROC-icon.png China but failed because File:ROC-icon.png 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 File:Sakhalin-icon.png 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 Soviet Union after the File:JapEmp-icon.png Empire of Japan surrendered.

Japan became the third largest economy, after File:PRC-icon.png 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 File:Kyushu-icon.png 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 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 USA and relies on it for offensive military duties. USA wants Japan to do more military activities in the alliance. Disputes with File:PRC-icon.png 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 USA, and the disasters in File:Fukushima-icon.png Fukushima File:LittleJohn-icon.png galvanized File:LittleJohn-icon.png opposition to nuclear proliferation. The File:Tokugawa-icon.png samurai have not fully returned yet....

現代 (Modern Days)

On May 1, 2019, Crown Prince File:CerMon-icon.png Naruhito became the new Emperor after File:CerMon-icon.png Akihito abdicated the throne, symbolizing the state and unity of the people of Japan. File:Shinzo Abe-icon.png Shinzo Abe resigned, leaving Japan feeling sad, but File:FisCon-icon.png Yoshihide Suga was chosen as the new Prime Minister, committed to continuing what File:Shinzo Abe-icon.png Abe aimed to achieve but couldn't. In 2021, Japan hosted the File:Olympics-icon.png Olympics though no one came because of COVID restrictions. On September 3, 2021, File:FisCon-icon.png Yoshihide Suga resigned due to controversy, and File:PatCon-icon.png Fumio Kishida succeeded him as Prime Minister on October 4. On July 8, 2022, former Prime Minister File:Shinzo Abe-icon.png Shinzo Abe was shot dead by File:Psychopathy-icon.png Tetsuya Yamagami. On May 19, 2023, Japan announced that she would host the File:G7-icon.png 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 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 File:Dem-icon.png 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 File:SocProg-icon.png 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 File:NatCon-icon.png 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 File:Plutocracy-icon.png wealthy woke Americans coming to Japan trying to convince everyone that File:Trump-icon.png Trump is evil.
