Did not expect Japan's GDP per capital to be lower than the European Union. But perhaps the fact that the Yen has nil inflation for a long time (until very recently) helps to lessen the blow. The Yen carry trade exists for a reason.

The Europe is poor discourse isn't about wealth.

Japan's GDP per capita is around $33,850, the average for the European Union is significantly higher, around $43,350 per capita. 

No one talks about how poor Japan is compared to Europe or the US.
