Is Greece an "English problem" too?
I've experienced one major typhoon and
then been lucky enough to have been in FL during
hurricane Andrew and then Wilma.
One involved 30 days with no power, Wilma was 15 days.
Water, gas and certain food items get scarce.
If people get so crazy, as I have seen during
limited duration events, then I can only imagine what would
happen, if the event is of a longer duration.
Conversely, Japan's string of disasters, didn't result in
mass looting and disorder as far as the news has reported.
And it can classify as a longer duration event now.

Indeed. But compare Japan to America.
Who enjoys a more racially homogenized population? Lower crime rate? And greater income equality, per capita?
I agree. That's what I meant to imply with the 'racially homogeneous' statement, despite technically, as you pointed out, it's more cultural than racial. Japan is a remarkably upright and insular society. America is not. Nor is the UK, France etc.
Since time began to the mid 19th century there was no need for expensive prisons in Japan - the accused was beheaded.
The lower orders didn't try to question the system and still don't much.
Western cities have a sorta criminal under-class that riot and loot when they feel energetic enough and can find a cause. An annual cull would soon sort them out though.
