Oh noes! you confuse what I meant buy rich. Not whats in the country's coffers.
But what I meant is japan is the second biggest Economy in the world.
I was not referring to their coffers. I was listing them by Nominal Gross Domestic Product, Per Capita (Japan: 25th).
In GDP-PPP, Per Capita, it's Liechtenstein-Qatar-Luxembourg-Bermuda-Kuwait-Jersey (Japan: 27th).
These figures are the factor the IMF and WB commonly use to establish how "rich" a nation is.
In terms of economic size, i.e. absolute GDP-PPP, the ranking goes EU-USA-PRC-JPN.
