Peoples Republic of Sakhaliya [Russian - Сахалинcкая Народная Pеспублика] was formed in 1948 to end the disputing over who should claim ownership of the Area [Russia or China]. After a short 2 year occupation by Soviet and US forces it was decided that the Region should be free to Govern itself, leading the speedy birth of the nation. It is a small Country that occupies the far Easterly border of Russia and also lays claim to the Island of ‘Sakhalin’ wich the country derives its name from. The country has coasts with the Pacific Ocean, Sea of Okhotsk, Sea of Japan, the Sakhalin Straight and shares its borders with Russia to the East, China to the South East and the KSSR to the North East [wich, due to high Tensions between the Governments, Sakhaliya refuses to acknowledge the existence of].
Sakhaliya has a Council Seat in the Independent Pact of Nations [IPON], its main focus is the promotion of workers and Union rights amoungst the Pact members although it is occasionally critisized itself over the lack of Democratic establishment and poor Economic Development. Dispite this, it has well established Diplomatic relations with many nations, including the United States whom many still believe are trying to supress Communism from existance. Sakhaliya's two large Neighbours, Russia and China, both support Sakhaliya in many ways including Militarily and Finacially. This is seen as the main contributing factor to why the United States will not interfere with the developing Nation by any means.
The geography of Sakhaliya is made up of rugged hills and vast marsh lands wich are extremely hard to construct on. The largest of the marshlands is the Komsalomsk Area wich is widely though to have been the River Amur's pre-historic flood plain. Much of Sakhaliya sits roughly over half a km above sea level, and consequently suffers from high winds daily, the wind erosion has made Sakhaliya's soils very thin and useless for farming except in some of the sheltered valleys away from the sea.
Sakhaliya's main industries are Coal Mining and Machinery Building, although Garment Mills are on the rise as an increasing amount of Women are leaving the household to find work. In 2003, oil and natural gas deposits were found beneath Sakhalin Island and Sakhaliya's Territorial Waters. Once extraction begins in 2008 the oil revenues could profoundly affect Sakhaliya's economy
History
1945-1960
The Peoples Republic of Sakhaliya was formed in 1948 to end a dispute between Russia and China over who claimed ownership of the area formerly occupied by the Japanese. The US put forward that it should become an Independent Nation, free from either's control (although it is widely believed that the US wanted an Ally in the Area incase it needed to take action against the USSR or the increasingly Communist China).
Although the USSR had forced the Japanese out of Sakhalin, they let Sakhalin self Govern, yet the Island itself was only populated by a few thousand Japanese farmers so the Soviets under US guidance also set up a what was supposed to be a temporary Government in the city of Khabarovsk. In 1947 The US argued that the new State would never be able to survive with the resources on Sakhalin Island and held talks with the USSR about a possible hand over of Khabarovsk and its surrounding Krai to the new nation.

The 1947 Sakhalin Statemate
Andrei Gorchenko was one of the candidates. The son of a Farmer, Andrei Lanskya Gorchenko was at the time one of Josef Stalin's top advisors. Stalin personally chose him to be a Candidate for the Sakhaliyan Governing seat, if elected he was to turn Sakhaliya into a Soviet style Republic keeping close ties with the USSR. After the first choice was announced, the US insisted that they chose a Candidate that was more democraticly minded next time or they would be forced to withdraw all previous offers and continue occupation of the area untill either China or the USSR backed down from claiming the area.
