Awful.

Their farm crops have basically been obliterated because of the tsunami. For a country where agriculture is a huge industry, that's horrible. Japan's economy has been deep in the dumps for nearly 20 years because of huge loans from other countries (mostly the US), and it doesn't look like it will be improving anytime soon.
I heard that this earthquake was about 1000 times stronger than the one in Christchurch. And out of all earthquake prone nations in the world, Japan was the most prepared.
I can't even begin to imagine what the devastation would be like if the epicentre of the quake had been closer to Tokyo, a city with about 35 million people (that's including all the surrounding suburbs).
