Recorded in 2009, Japan ranks as the second largest economy in the world. With the United States of America in the number one position. Japan was one of the most powerful nations during the first two world wars and today its power is thriving as a nation of economic progress.

In Japan, a large family is a symbol of power and abundance. Much of the developments can be seen in its capital city, Tokyo. Its name means "sun origin" and it is often times called the "Land of the Rising Sun". Japan is an archipelago made up of almost seven thousand islands in the Pacific Ocean. Its largest islands make up almost the entire country are Honshu, Kyushu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Okinawa and most of its islands are mountainous, many of which are active volcanoes. Japan is popular for one of the highest volcanoes in the world, Mount Fuji.

Japan is also famous for its love for robots which can be seen in many of their modern literature like comics, magazines and television shows. It is well known for a great fiction creature called "Godzilla", a dinosaur that terrorizes the country. This ancient creature, they say, has been inspired by the many series of earthquakes that happened to Japan, leaving millions dead and the country in ruins. True enough, Japan sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, the name given to the location of three tectonic plates that frequently cause low-intensity tremor and volcanic activity. This is the reason why there are many beautiful hot spring resorts in the country.
