After the revival of Japan with their markets and innovation after they lost to the 'Allies' in World War 2 I envisioned them to Unite and Expand. Their Yakuza path of Expansion in Asia was to exploit all the islanders for their own gain.
This is the past. We are now living through a nightmare of youth trying to figure out what the problem is on Earth, at the same time we have a mostly misled population of Educators who believe that Government is still the answer to Systemic Market failures. We still have fascism guised as Central Bank run economies. The Banks now talk about Stimulus when in reality they are supervising all private property and trade.

During the Dot com boom there was a fierce competitive healthy market of Electronic advancement as well as Credit Expansion created by these huge currency moves which gave some Currencies more leverage. This threw the whole Currency markets out of their currency basket scamwick job.
As you know Japan is a huge economy, when their population was at prime Age they took advantage of the Technology markets and were America's fiercest competition.
In a healthy way as opposed to World War 2, or Modern day Communist China who doesn't even allow competition.
