_Exactly_. There are how many zaibatsus in SR? How many products coming
from Asia? Not to mention all the -Pacific- trade done in Seattle (the
home ground for SR). I think Japan is more important than a Germany
sourcebook, or even a Great Britain sourcebook. Look at the treatment both
the Tirs received... Japan is irrelevant? Hardly. Renraku, Mitsuhama,
Fuchi. The electronics industry. The Yakuza. 'Nuff said.
