Japan

A country off the coast of china. If you have a cell phone, it was made there. If you have a car (and are not a conservative hatemonger), it was made there. Also created Transformers, ninjas and other incredibly bad ass things.

Relations with U.S.A.

Japan has been a very close ally and friend during and after the Cold War. This friendship continues to this day. Japan is very closely tied economically with the United States. However, if you are a conservative, then damn you and you probably think that they are going to attack the USA the moment they get a chance. If you don't think that and are conservative you are a freak of nature.
