My original point had nothing to do with looking for an indicator of 
imperialism, though.  It only made a simple point: Japan has been 
economically better off than all other Asian nations, Africa, Latin 
America, and the Middle East, because it never became a Euro/American 
colony and was subject to the fewest malign foreign interventions in 
the age of colonialism.
