Japan

"Japan is now crumbling due to the might of Lola Loud. Now Hirohito doesn't like the sound of this."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Sunset

Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies off the eastern coast of the Asian mainland and stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and China in the southwest.
