Do you know much about Japan or their culture?
Yes of course i know that have about  6,852 islands.
That is A LOT of islands!  I didn't realize it was comprised of a bunch of islands.
What do you expect of them when they were located in the pacific ocean. They lie off the eastern coast of the Asian mainland
I guess.  Do you know anything about Japan's culture, what they eat, how they live?
I do not know what they eat but i know they are divided into 47 prefectures in eight regions
So does that mean that their government is split up as well?
No they are unified and in fact we have  98.5%  Japanese in Japan
