Come on Ponder, be a sport. I tried to answer without too much thought. (Not hard for me).
Yea Juni, interesting in lots of ways. Very similar on many counties. I thought TVg's were a hoot...I think TV is the guy of guy who would be cracking jokes (some dark) just before brain surgery.

You know that's only going to lead to stereotyping, and I hate to even get started at that. OK, I don't care for some governments so much, but people are basically the same. I don't think it's good for us to think we're that much different than them, that always seems to go to a bad end.

Runaway Ant farm?

The Borg manifest as cybernetically-enhanced humanoid drones of multiple species, organized as an interconnected collective, the decisions of which are made by a hive mind, linked by subspace radio frequencies.

Basically the Japanese remind me of robots.

Run away ant farm... over populated
