I would dispute question 2. With over 2.7m foreign nationals, 1m plus Okinawans, Ainu, mixed race, and naturalized citizens, I think 98% is wrong. However the Japanese government doesn't survey its citizens for ethnicity hence why you have the erroneous figure of 98%

there may be 2.7 foreign nationals, but most are NOT citizens of Japan. It's actually very hard to become a citizen of Japan.

I completely agree with this dispute, but sadly I think it's hard to tell because of how they classify ethnicity. But yeah, there's no way it's over 98% because during the Meiji period, they reclassified Ryuukyuuans as Yamato.

Would remove the 'Chinese' option on 7, considering it was actually the ruling Yuan dynasty of China that launched the invasion.

So did I :D and also question 7. "So the Mongols came over, ready for war, and died in a tornado. But they tried again and had a nice time fighting with the Japanese, but then died in a tornado." Thank you Bill!

Again, I should read the questions more carefully. I gave away the first question because I missed the word "density"...

As a Japanese person I got the emperor question wrong because deceased emperors are most commonly referred to by [era name] Emperor or Showa Emperor in this case
