Hmm, well Japan has a population of about 120M. They tend to get about 50% voter turnout so under the theoretical condition that they all voted for the same Japanese candidate, that would put a theoretical Japanese president at about the same number of votes as the 2016 election though a touch...

I can't see China remotely matching the ludicrous flow California takes from the Colorado River. A cubic kilometer and a half of water a year, a maxed-out supertanker every two and a half hours. And Japan has a population of 125 million or so, so they literally would have over a quarter of the...
