The extent of the country covers four main islands including Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku and Hokkaido along with some processions in the Pacific Ocean including Okinawa.

Historically, religions such as the Asia based Buddhism and the native Shinto religion were adhered by the majority of the population. Despite enjoying success Japan endures modern problems such as depopulation, a high national debt and vulnerability to earthquakes.
