In the 1630s, Japan's rulers, under the Tokugawa shogunate, implemented a policy of isolation known as Sakoku, which included banning the introduction of new technologies, particularly firearms and foreign ships. This was aimed at maintaining social order and preventing the influence of foreign powers, particularly European nations. The ban contributed to Japan's self-sufficiency and preservation of its culture for over two centuries, until the country eventually opened up to the West in the mid-19th century.

How do the existing rulers react to the people in Libya?

The term "react" is odd. Most of the rulers in Libya are representative of their regions and are doing what they can to advance their regional interests (often over the national interest).
