It's about Japanese influence and not about the country from a geological point of view.

RPG is a genre. WRPG and JRPG are silly internet terms that fanboys have come up with and now everyone uses them.

Same as FPS and TPS ?

My take is that WRPG vs JRPG has a MUCH broader divide than a FPS and a TPS.  WRPGs tend to be FAR less linear than JRPG and focus on freedom more than advancing a storyline.  They lean more towards the sandbox than a movie or other form of storytelling.  The divide is also larger there, because people tend to prefer JRPGs or WRPGs over the other.  When you compare Halo to Gears of War, the audiences are similar.
