My point is living in Japan you feel the presence of the State more than in India. It is a feeling, hence admittedly likely biased.
Anyway, other examples for adults: rules for the medical checkup at work, and rule for any device emitting radio waves (e.g.: if you come live in Japan with a device not regulated by the Japanese government you are illegal and could be sanctioned, even if it uses the ISM bands).
Please note, I am not anti-government, I am against too much government.
Rules are different wherever you go! You didn’t notice that? If you went to Pakistan and tried to buy beer or whiskey, you would have a very difficult time. Smuggling silver and gold out of India into Nepal was a no-no, too. Rules change by countries because cultures are different.

I see... when did you leave Japan for India?
Japan has a declining population.
India have over 1 trillion.
Japan is or will be less crowded.
Are you fluent in Japanese? What Indian language do you use?
reply
Actually, over 1 billion.
Japan is perhaps more crowed if you go to Kanto or Kansai areas. The rest of Japan is mostly mountainous. Those are some of the few places where there is enough flat ground for building cities. So, they are very heavily populated. The countryside not so much. Though I have to say you will never see situations in Japan like in Calcutta or Bombay, or even Delhi or New Delhi.

obviously I mean a billion not a trillion lol
I've been reading about deficits and debt
reply
Yeah, that would cause confusion, just look at those idiots running the state.

2 years ago, but I didn't leave Japan strictly speaking. I still use my Japanese driver license for example. And I am traveling so it is not only India but other countries in Asia too.
I speak fluently Japanese, if by speaking fluently you mean reading/writing/speaking fluently. I don't speak Hindi (not even thank you), so conversations are in English.
I am not sure to understand what you meant with the population decrease but I still prefer Japan over India, however I didn't agree with OP about his views of India, for the reasons mentioned previously. I learned many things in India and other Asian countries, and I believe India is still a great civilization which influenced Japan as well by the way.

You will be hard put to find “thank you” in Hindi. Danyawad just doesn’t mean the same, in my opinion.
Yes, India influences Japan through Buddhism. You won’t find very many Buddhists in India now, though. The Hindus subsumed the religion into theirs by making Gautama an avatar of Shiva (I think).

Japan is losing population because of its low fertility rate. The number of deaths exceeds the number of births. Geriatrics outnumber pediatrics
You were born in Japan? Do you consider yourself Japanese like shohei ohtani?
reply
I am not born in Japan and prefer to avoid saying where I am born for privacy reasons (sorry).
I didn't know Otani Shōhei, sorry.
That being said going to other Asian countries and knowing Bitcoin made me quite optimist for Japan in the future.

Clearly you are not Japanese or a baseball fan
Regarding Japan's future:

Is there a problem with a declining population? Isn’t that what Be-ill Gates and the motherWEFers want? What, a 95% recede, isn’t it?
I think the Japanese will adapt to it through using machines to do the manufacturing that they need. The problem will be the lost skills, though. I think a lot of cultural practices may go by the wayside due to nobody to practice them.
