One of my relatives, who hails from @siggy47's cultural region, was trying to relay a news event to me and used the phrase "one of those Japanese countries" to describe the location that he couldn't recall.
The bounty goes to the first stacker who correctly guesses which country he was referring to.
Only one guess per stacker per hour

Where's the option to pay the bounty?
@sox, the "pay bounty" button wasn't there when I clicked on this comment from my notifications.

This post’s got a 'bug' when sorting items by ‘recent’. It doesn’t sort here, only works after you click ‘recent’ and hit refresh (F5). After the items are sorted, new comments don’t show up at the top. cc/ @k00b @ek @sox

I can reproduce here, but not in dev. Let's see what's causing this.
For now one clue is that this only happens in client-side navigation: click on a comment -> from the top SN bar go back -> sorts stop working
edit: only here
reply
Weird, the 'recent' filter is already working.
Thanks for the tip

@siggy47 grandparents are from Lombardi?

No. Calabria, Bari, and Abruzzo. I'm from the lazy south, not the industrious north.
reply
Calabria for the win!

Bueno supongo que Japón es un sólo país así que tal ves como como solemos generalizar, cada ves que vemos a un asiático solo lo definimos por chino. Tú amigo quiso decir lo mismo no se definió por un país más bien por cualquier asiático, da la respuesta igual para salir de dudas 👍

This is about getting inside the mind of a certain type of American

This is a psyop. PhD economists are known to run cruel human experiments.
reply
Experimental econ does not make use of deception. The experiment is what it seems to be.
reply
That's exactly what an experimental economist would say.

Did this even happen? Is there a right answer?
reply
This did happen and there is one correct answer

Is the answer a country?
Jeju island ?

How have we not figured this out yet. There are only 195 countries.
Tonga

Tonga is the new civilization available in Civ 7, it became available on the 4th of this month! ahah
reply
That's interesting. I'm pretty sure they've never had Tonga before.
reply
People keep repeating guesses, for one
reply
It's Hong Kong isn't it

Asked and answered

I was thinking that too.

Pretty good, but no and I'm not sure if that's warmer or colder

I still want to say Suriname. It's the most japanese-sounding latin-american country I know.
reply
Contest is over. @SimpleStacker got it with Iceland

I know, but Suriname is the most japanese-sounding latin-american country I know.
So, I DEMAND the result of the contest to be changed.

According to your map it might still be the closest country to japan that hasn't yet been guessed haha

reply
I'm back! hahaha. It'd be handy if you pinned a comment with the real hints, though.
Madagascar?
reply
nope
Real hints will go in the saloon
reply
Sri Lanka

I think that's been said?
It seems like there's an upper bound on the progress because as the thread becomes unsearchable people can't avoid repeating guesses.

I hope that displays

I think that was already guessed, but it's getting hard to remember or check
reply
Haha I don’t know why I picked that. Ends in AN like Japan. Grasping at straws
India and Pakistan are constantly fighting for Kashmir.

I already said no to both India and Pakistan, though

I'll give a hint that it is not a country with a claim on Antarctica
