      Every country is sovereign in its territorial. This means that they can:

      • confiscate actives in japan
      • to pass fines
      • to ban the access to the servers
      • to ban the operations on its territory
      • to jail the company’s representative of the country
      • etc etc

      As an example the EU did exactly this when the gdpr came into play
