Latin America is western by many definitions, and I have no idea how you are going to exclude EU member nations. I get the feeling you're just going to pare it down so that the list fits your argument, which makes this a waste of time. Also, as has already been pointed out, Japan has the third highest nominal GNP in the world, meaning it has the third largest economy, and it registers fourth in PPP. If you're talking about the average citizen, Japan ranks 15th in median household income. Trying to make Japan seem poor compared to the west makes no sense at all. You do realize that fansubbing has very little to do with the old children's anime you linked? |
I could have said first world countries this is what i had in mind. So If we talk about in political context, NA, Western Europe and Australia are the core of the West. It should be easily understandable youre the one debating.
Having a bigger economy doesnt necessarily mean the country is richer than the other. By that logic Norway is piss poor and China is ultra rich.
Japan is on average poorer than other Western First World countries this is a fact. They also work the most hours than any other first world country which people forget

and they earn so much less in return than in comparison to the US. Yet people from richer countries like the US think its okay to prirate their work?
