Tanganyika (Vegetarian World)

Japan, also known as Nihon or Nippon, has one of the largest economies in the world. A large percentage of major multinational companies, especially concerning technology, are Japanese. After a long period of isolationism, Japan had a revolution. Shortly thereafter (in the 1860s), it started its industrial revolution. It became the first Oriental nation to modernize itself. This would later lead it into conflict with its neighbors. Wanting European privileges like the ability to colonize other states, it eventually came under control of right-wing militants and started the war in the east, which would escalate into a major theatre of the. After the war, Japan lay in ruins. However, its economy took off in subsequent decades and it eventually became the economic powerhouse that it is today. Its largest city, Tokyo, is one of the most important cities in Asia, and the world.

Japan's contributions to international culture are numerous, and have been increasing rapidly over the past decades. Whereas Japanese companies gained prestige by the 1970s, Japanese culture itself only became rapidly disseminated by the 1990s. Currently, Japanese animation is the most popular animation globally, and Japanese music is the most listened-to of any single country's (with the born-in--and-living-in-Japan Japanese Utada Hikaru holding the title for most records sold by any artist or band). This pervasiveness of Japanese culture has increasingly promoted the Japanese language around the world, making it one of the more popular languages to learn as a second-language, especially among the most diehard fans of Japanese media.
