Maybe your country wants to be a colony, not others, there are over 30000 US troops stationed in Japan and Germany respectively to watch and control the two countries, their foreign policies and politics have to bent to American wills often. Their countries are neutered and are not allowed to possess any offensive strategic weapons such as nukes, nuke submarines, aircraft carriers and ballistic missiles. You call such countries independent ? Colonies with slave soul identity, they maybe rich though. For one thing, China definitely doesn't want to be a bigger Japan to US as US wants, and that's why you have cold war 2 between US and China now as some call it. That's what Americans think every country loves US and wants to be their poodle.I don't think there is any country in the world, that if told, can be made into Germany or Japan (say by magic), will say no
