I hope a ultra-conservative Japan means more manga, games, movies, cars and tech and not that they start invading stuff.

I have been told Japan has retreated from much of its own countryside, so maybe they'll try an invasion to take that back.

Which of its neighbours could they possibly invade? They don't have the manpower to even do anything
