That homogeneous and mostly pleasant culture is killing itself, apparently. We may get to witness a nation commit suicide, which ought to be interesting from the outside. I hope the insularity ends up being worth it for them, but history is not on their side.

>That homogeneous and mostly pleasant culture is killing itself, apparently. No, this is literally the post-WW2 boom dying off.

They currently have 125mm people living in a land area the size of California which is 75% uninhabitable (mountains).
