Get the Japanmug. An over-rated, over-populated country, roughly the size of California, with far less habitable land. Geographically, it lies off the north-eastern coast of China, and has a few climate zones, namely the foothills and mountains, and the plains and forests. It is an archipelago, consisting primarilly of 5 main islands - Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa. Furthermore, roughly 75% of the land in Japan is unsuitable for most everything.
The culture is similar to the Chinese, for Japan consists heavily of immigrants of the various Chinese kingdoms, who ventured there prior to the Mongol invasion of modern-day China, circa 1210. Due to this, the language and religions are fundamentally similar, spare Shinto. The language is written as katakana, or kanji, both of which are very much like Chinese caligraphy. The religions practiced are, by large, Shinto and Buddhism. They have a heavy reliance on technology, like the US and EU, and are on the frontier of technology, also like the US and EU. Japanese people often take pride in their medieval past, where feudal dynasties employed mercaneries, called samurai - who often had a strict honor code - to fight eachother. There is also a fairly high population of closet pedophiles.
Art consists of music, the classical Japanese style which uses percussion and wood wind instruments, and J-Pop, which is a shitty cousin to the equally bad American and European pop music. The visual arts are oft comprised of anime and manga, which are animated cartoons, and comic books, respectively. The styles of which are generally generic, along with much of the content. These are characterized, usually, by fairly simple, talentless art, shitty dialog, poor humor, and exaggerated or inaccurate violence and anatomy.
Economically, it is third in total GDP, behind China and the United States of America, respectively. They are close allies with the US, politically, diplomatically, and economically. Their biggest export and import partner is the US, who imports agricultural products into Japan, along with raw materials, chemicals, some electronics, and manufacturing equipment. Japan then exports automobiles, electronics, and such to the US.

Get the Japanmug. An awesome country in the far east. It has fantastic horror movies, anime, songs, singers, and food. The capital is Tokyo and currently (as of 2010) the Emperor and Empress are Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko. The Japanese are very healthy people, since their foods are so healthy such as sushi, rice, tea, and many people walk more than drive, which gives them more exercise. Japan has been around for a long time, and its Kanji is derived from Chinese characters. 花is a japanese character meaning "flower" but it is also a chinese character. In Japan, their language has three main writing systems: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. Hiragana and Kanji are used for japanese words, and Katakana for foreign, or emphasized words. There is more than one kanji for many sounds, and there is more than one reading for most (or all) Kanji.
Person 1: Hey, have you ever been to Japan?
Person 2: No, what's that?
Person 1: Dude! It's one of the best countries ever! Awesome culture, food, songs, all that stuff! You need to go there.

Get the Japanmug. In a way, Japan is like both England and New Zealand. They are all islands off the coast of a continent, most of the countries therein not really liking them (see France for england, korea for Japan, Australia for New Zealand) because they both could charm the pants off any of their women and kick their bums in a duel. (yob vs. frenchman. Samurai vs. some kung-fu guy. maramite vs. vegemite)
All three had an Empire.
Both rock. More than rocks.

All three people are known for their reserve.
It's true. Japan, England, and New Zealand are all like...long lost brothers or something..
