I have to say I'm a little disappointed. If I can't believe that Canada is essentially Antarctica except occupied by a very polite populas, what else is left in the world?

There are also maple trees, lumberjacks, beavers, and an excellent socialized medicine system that, like in many industrialized nations, provides free health care without ruining taxpayers or impoverishing doctors. Canadians evidently have an average life expectancy 3 years higher than Americans.

Where's your freedom now, Muerica?

Should I point out that Australians have a life expectancy one year longer than Canadians? Still not as good as the Japanese though.

That's ok, when I picture the Great Lakes cities and the whole Northeast I imagine Megacity One.

Except the Japanese are slowly dying out due to low birth rates, and a large fraction of the population is too old to work...

Aging populations still present either an economic or humanitarian problem, depending on if you want to offer them any kind of welfare or not. In general you want a young healthy population with the production power to easily support a somewhat small number of elders.
The solution is to work smarter to compensate having less working people, but that sort of social advancement requires greater investment in all levels of education on a global scale, and frankly who needs schools when there are wars to wage, right?

[Descan]

That may very well be why Japan is so strong in robotics. >_>

[Max White]

Yea, they are trying hard to save themselves, but the thing about education is that what helps one nation tends to help all nations. It seems that no matter how much effort you put into your education system, nobody can go it alone...

Who knows, maybe 50-100 years from now, at least half of Japans workforce might consist of robots.

You mean they aren't right now? Japan has the strictest corporate environments in the world. I can't believe they aren't robots.

Robots all getting off work and going to the robot strip joint to oogle an old washing machine that's been set up on stage. After loudly finishing the rinse cycle the washer clunks to a stop and sprays the crowd with soapy water. They are enchanted. One robot-salaryman confides in her, drunkenly, that he would leave his robot wife (who is a reliable counter-mounted bread mixer with dough hook) if the washing machine would run away with him to live in Kitakyushu. The washer lets him have his dream as she just barely makes a lap dance happen. The sun sets over Kyoto's fuming skyline, jets of flaming exhaust flaring upward off the arcologies, and the sky darkens to television static.

Japan confirmed for being Futurama.

I can verify that it doesn't look like copypasta here.
