Heh. On current figures (which are clearly unrepresentative) this place is on a per-capita basis more Australian than American. 15 Australians from a population of 22M and 79 from the US out of a population of 330M. ---

I have a spouse visa in Japan, but no permanent residency. They don’t just hand those out. You usually have to demonstrate social contribution and have lived in Japan for a significant period of time. I wouldn’t even apply to become a Japanese citizen because I would have to give up my US citizenship. ---
