Japan is about 10,000 kms and 13 hours ahead of Ontario
Thailand is about 14,000 kms from Ontario
Japan is about 4,000 kms from Thailand
Country stats:
Region / Population / Land Area (sq km)
Canada / 32,569,394 / 9,093,507
Japan / 125,000,000 / 374,744 (1/4 of this is actually inhabitable)
State of California / 35,893,799 / 403,968
So what does this mean?
Canada is 24 * bigger than Japan, but Japan has 4 * the population. Japan is smaller than the state of California with 3.5 * more people. 1/4 of Japan is actually habitable.
The state of California has roughly the same population of Canada.

Wikipedia Article
World is a common name for the whole of human civilization, specifically human experience, history, or the human condition in general, worldwide, i.e. anywhere on Earth.
In a philosophical context it may refer to: (1) the whole of the physical Universe, or (2) an ontological world (see world disclosure). In a theological context, world usually refers to the material or the profane sphere, as opposed to the celestial, spiritual, transcendent or sacred. The "end of the world" refers to scenarios of the final end of human history, often in religious contexts.
World history is commonly understood as spanning the major geopolitical developments of about five millennia, from the first civilizations to the present.
World population is the sum of all human populations at any time; similarly, world economy is the sum of the economies of all societies (all countries), especially in the context of globalization. Terms like world championship, gross world product, world flags etc. also imply the sum or combination of all current-day sovereign states.
