Nation_Report_Japan Nation Background Report: Japan Japan is a very old and intricate nation. In this paper I will not even begin to scratch the surface when it comes to talking about the Japanese expansive history but I am hoping to give a little insight into their past. According to the U.S. Department of State the population of Japan in 2001 was 126.8 million and the population growth rate was 0.18%. For some reason I was unable to get a current population size but I did however find a projected size for 2003, which was 1 million people greater than in 2001. It is hard to imagine a population of that size living in an area smaller than California, with California’s population about 33.9 million people. It is amazing that Japan can harbor almost four times the amount of people of California and still manage as well as they do. Politics have changed greatly in Japan’s long history. When a nation is as old as Japan (around 600 BCE) it has to go through many changes, a flux if you will, over time until hopefully issues have worked themselves out and a stable and just government japan, party, government, system, population, until, people, just, economy, democratic, years, world, size, new, nation, mostly, million, japanese, growth, exports, emperor, chinese, based, around, after, year, very, urban, under, times, state, started, shogunate, production, problems
