>> I will be a guest of the Japanese government this week

GST, is the Japanese economy really larger than all except the US ? How can a country with cramped spaces, an aging population and few natural resources, have larger production than the more populous countries of Europe, let alone China or India ? Just what do writers mean when they say "2nd largest economy" ? It seems to me Japan's economy is irrelevant to anyone outside of Japan. Their agriculture is likely much smaller than France or Spain. They make electronic gadgets, but so do Koreans and others. They don't have any aerospace industry. No oil, coal, gas. Even their electronics and auto production is being exported to Asian countries with lower costs.

Anyway, if they really are number 2 economy, do you know who the number 3, 4, 5 are ? And how far behind are they ?
