Japan is a country. How can there be a Japanese country that isn't Japan? :|

Japan has not always been a single unified country. In fact no country in the world has.
Meh... semantics. It wasn't Japan before it was Japan, so previous countries occupying that territory were not Japanese countries. QED.[QUOTE="Johnny_Rock"]

What does that have to do with what I said?

Same land, same people, same culture, thus an old kingdom/country/nation-state/whatnot could be called "Japanese" without referring to the modern nation of Japan. Kinda like how "British" has existed long before the United Kingdom of Great Britain came into existence.

Then is it a country then? Or would it make more sense to say a district?[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="worlock77"]Meh... semantics. . I had to double check the username for a second.
