Japan runs at 100V, the lowest and therefore safest voltage in the world.

That's not really how electricity works is it?

My understanding is that with the resistance of the human body, once you exceed a certain voltage AC (much lower than 100 V), yes, current increases, but you're going to be severely electrocuted regardless.
