All countries have their strengths and weaknesses. Back before World War 2, Japan had one of the largest navies in the world, easily able to rival America.
After they were left with almost nothing by the dropping of the Atomic Bombs, they stood up and rebuilt their country even better. Most Plants, Art, Landscaping etc and some Martial Arts are associated with Japan. On top of that, Japan became hugely successful in the electronics industry. They adapted to change and didn't let it outdo them. They built buildings resistant to earthquakes and perfected evacuation procedures while other countries in similar situations were yet to get up and do something about it.
Because of these attributes and many others, Japan is indeed a very awesome country.
Kudos to them.
