Excluding Japan and New Zeland, top 10 countries are Scandiavian countries or Europe. That's OK.... but this means Japan is surrounded by dangerous countries such as Korea (N&S), China, Russia, Taiwan, USA.
Scary, isn't it?
Let's keep checking fingerprints of visitors from those neighbours.

Cannot be helped ... because they are born as a US citizens, they must go to WAR anyway or their next generation will go to war again. Thus they are always frustrated and becoming offensive.
In a way, they are unlucky people as they are born there.

Same roots, aren't they?
FYI. Australian GPI = 27, better than USA, but worse than Bhutan (26) and Oman (25). Congratulation.:blush:

Oh I second the motion and I will send you the empty Kirin bottles, belay that, cans to you. Glass breaks while shipping. I'd share the full one's but I am way too greedy today. It's the thought that counts.:-)
Sure is nice to live in a peaceful country where it seems the only George Bush Jr wannabe types that try to instigate wars are on internet forums and have handles like Astroboy!
