I think Japan is really lucky. >Learn from Chinese without becoming a tributary >Mongols repelled by nature >Only asian country to fend off colonialism due to being opened by Perry-san rather than euros >Kanji too hard for third worlders and too un-western for durkas to attack/immigrate to (Ineffective a gainst chinese, however) >Island country, no land borders >Nationalist with impunity >Good base culture for civlized society and tons of domestic entertainment (Don't need English)
Only problem is natural disasters, but I feel Japan is extremely lucky otherwise.

>Only asian country to fend off colonialism due to being opened by Perry-san rather than euros More like the fought head and toe against it.
The Portugese king literally asked his ministers if an invasion of Japan was possible, so they went ape shit and slaughtered every Christian in the lands (good fucking riddance).
It's not a coincidence that Japan didn't end up like most of Asia( colonized by N. Euro's) or even the Balkan Europeans (colonized by Central Asians).
It's just that most people barring nips and (northern) snowniggers are effectively weak and serventile.
God Bless you Japan. You really are honorary Aryans.

Well fuck me.

I mean, we're lodged between Russia, China, and North Korea too. It's just we have the ocean in between so it's not as bad as it could be.
