I recently learned that Ireland isn’t really in Europe according to some Irish people, so I think this is final straw: I’m adding Japan to Europe. We may lack the technology to make it a physical reality (yet!) but their recent history and culture are quite European. I wish they were an option for emigration in a post-P2025 world, but AFAIK they are not at all interested in asylum seekers, American or otherwise ;(

Really? Where do they think it is? yes, its an island but no-one says Japan (or Sri Lanka, or Java) is not in Asia!

I have known a lot of Irish people (I mean either over here in the UK temporarily or first generation immigrants) and I have never heard anyone say that.
