Well, by the 2.3K timeline, the UK is also able to help generate the Saudi garrison -- so I'd say worst case scenario, Japan is more in line with SGUK than, say, Y2K Germany and Poland or a return to the Shogunate. The fact they manage to show up for the Saudi garrison job to get their share of the oil sort of points not only to a given level of functionality, but where at least some of the resources driving their subsequent recovery were coming from.
