  1. * Island nation

    * Monarchy

    * Tea drinkers

    * Emotional repression only released in unhealthy drinking sessions

    * Like fish

    * Quality sense of humour

    * Challenging relationship with nearby continental landmass

    * History of war crimes in country to the west

    * Dodgy imperialist past

    Finally, our true allies

  2. Do you think that Tokyo will send a frigate in the channel to help London against the invasion of migrants from France? That would be funny.

  3. Japan is almost certainly going to push for membership in the 5 eyes. They even asked for the UK to help them get in when they signed the UK-Japan trade deal. They’ve also asked Australia and Canada but not NZ funnily enough.

    Unlikely that Japan will be allowed to join though.
