Japan is a developed country it also belongs to the IMF or Group of 7 or which the United States is a member. One obvious country that is not a member is Russia, who is following the Group of 7 around like a lap dog trying to get in. \n\nJapan does not have a Army nor does it have nuclear power to make war, yet it is economically stronger than most countries of the world.\n\nThe Japanese have a very good thriving economy, with a healthy export of cars and techno products. The rank up there is the top 4 or 5 countries of the world as far as economies goes.\n\nSome countries that you might count as developing are India and China, they are on the edge of becoming  a developed country, both have nuclear power

No, it is probably considered a second-world country as it's main cities are fairly developed and industrialized, however, it can not be consider a third world or a first world country.

Why not every other developed country is corrupt?

Quickly:\nEach are headed out by a leader. Japan has an emperor and Europe has a king. Neither controlled a huge amount of power for small regions and so that power was handed down to others.\n\nIn Japan there was the shoguns and in Europe they had their lords. Working under the lords were knights and the Japanese version of a knight is the samurai.\n\nAt the bottom were peasants for both Europe and Japan, though merchants were even below that in Japanese feudal society.

India is still considered as a developing country. I think its gonna take a long time before it can be declared as a developed country.

No.  China has many benefits such as low wages, but with time the people will want better wages.  As a nation industrializes, it faces the same burden as we have faced.  Their workers will demand more safety for its mines and factories, more benefits and better regulation of free enterprise.  Japan has gone through the same growth pain and so will China.  We went through it the earliest.  Understand that China has limited natural resources within its land.  We have a lot of natural resources.  China must import most of its oil for its industries, that will limit the growth to the ability of the Middle East to supply the oil.\n\nAs their economy grow, they will face a problem.  The problem is when the next generation has money and want political freedom.  This will curtail the growth for some time as the China will be forced to change from Communism to a more democratic form of government.

"Asian politics" is a broad spectrum, considering the various form's of governments that includes, but overall the net trend has been conservative. For example, China has dabbled in free markets on a very limited basis, which may on the surface appear progressive, but it has made no corresponding changed in human rights's or individual freedoms. Japan has been in a nearly ten year long recession, and has made no new economic policies to work it's way out. Taiwan is still quasi-independent, quasi-rebel china province, no progressive change there for 50 years. Vietnam is still a communist country, with very moderate economic reforms but little change elsewhere.  well, we could go on, but you see my point. There has been little change, other then economic expansion, but not nearly enough to be considered progressive. Quite the opposite, most nations roll at a snails pace, and would probably be considered very conservative.

Japan´s population has very low population growth, and has been going on for 20-25 years. \n\nChina is not overcrowded. Have you seen the amount of land they have? But yes, population grew at very high rates, so since the 1970, goverment has been teaching about birth control and forcing just 1 child per family.

Japan more or less has always been ruled by an emperor over a feudal state.  Most of the power was in the hands of the nobles, shoguns, and samurai.\n\nCheck my source for more info...

In the last decade, we have seen the birth of terms such as "4th world countries"...these are countries that are so under-developed that they cannot sustain their economies under any circumstances. Nigeria is still a sustainable economy since it has some wealth in natural resources like oil & gas.......\n\nI think know, the poorer countries are those that are recently emerging from civil war e.g. rwanda, somalia, sierra leone etc...their infrastructures is very impaired as a result of the war.

Japan's new constitution stated that it would never again fight another war. Japan disbanded it's military, and this has remained te same even till the present day. Japan has only the Defense Forces, which are police and coastguardsmen.\n\nIt took decades for Japan to recover economically and physically from the bombings of WWII. Tokyo, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, and other cities were bombed almost to the point of extinction.\n\nUS military bases were also put in Japan to keep peace in the area, but it's also because we had leverage on them and few other countries in East Asia.\n\nHope I helped,\n\nth3wise1

This question has multiple answers, as there are different types of "developing" countries.\n\nThe top strong, consistently developing countries are:\nChina, Mexico, India, Brazil, South Africa, Turkey, the Philippines, Egypt, much of South America, Malaysia, Thailand, and a few others.\n\nInconsistently developing countries include:\nMost countries in Africa, Central America, and the Caribbean (except Jamaica); much of the Arab world; most of Southeast Asia (except Singapore, Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia and Thailand); 76% of the world's nations fall under this category\n\nThen there are "developing" countries in long-term civil wars or dictatorships:\nHaiti, Somalia, Sudan, Burma, and even North Korea

A third world country these days usually refers to a developing country. IOW third world means a poor country with a low standard of living, limited healthcare, limited education and so forth.\n\nThere used to be second world countries, but not any more.\n\nAfter the second world war the world was described as being divided in two. The first world consisted of the westernised capitalist nations headed by the US and England but including Japan, Australia, Canada and so forth. The second world was the communist bloc headed by the USSR and China but including Poland, Cuba, Vietnam, Poland and so forth.\n\nThe term "Third World" was coined to describe all those nations that were not strongly aligned with either camp. Initially this referred to nations such as India and Egypt or Chile that were quite happy to do business with Russia or America based entirely on who gave them the most aid. Eventually the term expanded to refer to all the poor nations.\n\nSo basically "First World" = westernised capitalist nations, "Second World" = communist nations, "Third World" = poor nations not aligned with either first or second world powers.\n\nThese days there aren't really any second world nations. China is the only communist power left, and it is becoming so capitalistic so fast that it hardly deserves the title communist. The remaining handful of communist nations such as Cuba and North Korea are so weak that they don't warrant the term 'second world'. Today we really only refer to first and third world, with Cuba for example considered to be squarely third world.\n\n\nMore commonly we simply refer to developed and developing world.
