Welcome Aboard John
Interesting thread indeed....
Depending on how you or your GM wants to play out The land of the rising sun and the rest of the twillight conflict, they could have increased food/oil storage (spare parts too) in reserve banks and prolly got hold of some nukes too as HQ suggested. Depending on info release from the national government (in regards too the food situation) they could have set up huge LANDCRAB-breeding facilities ( they allready eat bassically anything in asia) and/or other non-conventional food breeding facilites to fight the upcoming famine....
On the other hand they are immensly overcrowded so going back to a more imperialistic feudal and aggresive system where they would even try a sneak attack on their neighbours would also be a possibility ( why loose possible soldiers in famine when you can give them a rifle, a clip, and a frag - put them in a boat and say you are on your own or attack the chineese
PS: I like strange scenarios I know
