Japan

Japan is an island country in East Asia. It is located on the edge of the Pacific Ocean and it lies to the east of China, Korea and south east of Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea in the south. The characters that make up Japan's name (日本) mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is sometimes identified as the "Land of the Rising Sun". The katana which is unlockable in Halo 3 multiplayer, originated from Japan, along with the word Hayabusa, which translates as peregrine falcon.
