I think this is a great idea. We attack Iraq, Japan shames us by having us remove our military bases, North Korea laughs long and loud before melting the entire country of Japan. The 10 people left alive in Japan, as they die of the most painful radiation poisoning a human being has ever experienced, "you can put the bases back in actually."

So in that sort of way, Japan would experience a sort of really fast entropy.

Mad OED Genius Biographer wrote:

It has been known for at least the last eighty years that among the scores of volunteers who helped contribute quotations to the OED, and who are listed in the great Preface to Volume 1, there was a murderer. He was named William Chester Minor, and he was a wealthy American surgeon-soldier who went mad when he was forced to brand a deserter during the Civil War. He came to England, uncured and incurable, and during a fit of madness shot a man dead. He was sentenced to be confined without parole in the newly-built Broadmoor Asylum for Criminal Lunatics in Crowthorne, Berkshire.

It was while he was in his cell that Minor came across James Murray's famous Call for Volunteers, and decided, probably as a means of personal redemption, to begin work as a reader for the OED. Over the next thirty-eight years he contributed thousands upon thousands of quotations - prompting Murray once to say that ‘the supreme position is certainly held by Dr W. C. Minor of Broadmoor. So enormous have been Dr Minor's contributions...that we could easily illustrate the last four centuries from his quotations alone’.
