21st century-era map of Earth
According to a 21st century-era political map of Earth, Japan was an Eastern Asian country. It had coastlines on the North Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Japan, and the East China Sea. Major cities were Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Osaka, Sapporo, and Yokohama, Its territories were Nampō-Shotō, Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa), and Marcus Island. The Kuril Islands were, "Occupied by the Soviet Union in 1945, administered by Russia, claimed by Japan." This Central Intelligence Agency map, which was seen in the remastered "The Cage", was published either in April 2007[1] or September 2008.[2] The difference, which was not noticeable at the resolution of the image from the episode, was the addition of Kosovo, which gained its independence between the releases.
