China:
Population, BILLIONS! eek
Has the most notorious violator of human rights.
Has the most abortions, most of which is forced.
Has a genocide, where infant girls are murdered.
Has the biggest rate of dog and cat murder, most of which is used in the fur industry. The meat is also consumed, though not as popularly as the Philippines.
Produces heavy amounts of pollution.
And after all the s**t China does, no one does anything because China kicks a**, lulz.

Japan:
- Today the country is highly industrialized and noted for its advanced technology.
- Population (2005 est.): 128,085,000.
- On the arable land, which is only 11% of Japan's total land area, the population density is among the highest in the world.
- The economy, one of the world's biggest, is based largely on manufacturing and services; exports include electronic and electrical equipment, motor vehicles, chemicals, and iron and steel products.
- Japan is one of the world's principal seagoing nations, with an important marine fishing sector.
- One of the world's wealthiest countries.
- The capital is Tokyo, which, along with neighboring Yokohama, forms the world's most populous metropolitan region.
- Kabuki, which developed at the end of the 16th century, was the first popular dance theatre for commoners. In its early days it was performed by female prostitutes and some of its manifestations were so immoral that the women were banned from performing it by the authorities. Male dancers then adopted the kabuki style, taking on the female roles themselves. Being an onnagata (female impersonator) became an honoured profession.
- Training, style, and repertoire were greatly influenced by the Soviet model.
- Today Japanese ballet audiences are among the most enthusiastic in the world.
- The Japanese educational system, established during the Allied occupation after World War II, is one of the most comprehensive and effective in the world. The two leading national universities are at Tokyo and Kyoto.
Oops, I think I went a little overboard there... but I didn't even mention the awesome festivals and food and-
O.o
Shutting up now.

-A bunch of Muslims, Roman Catholics to rule Europe
-The lost empire of Macedonia is in Yugoslavia
-A Communist country
-They've Already had 2 kings with the name of Alexander so why not make it 3?
-There very multi-cultural so many people live there
