Brief
Peoples Republic of Sakhaliya [Russian - Сахалинcкая Народная Pеспублика] is a small Nation that occupies the far easterly border of Russia and also lays claim to the Island of ‘Sakhalin’ which 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. It is often described as 'Stalin's last resting place', due to a poignant history it shared with the dictator who was uncharacteristically benevolent towards it's people.
Sakhaliya has a Council Seat in the 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.
Geography
The geography of Sakhaliya is made up of rugged hills and vast marsh lands wich is particularly hard to construct on. The largest of the marshlands is the Komsalomsk Area which is widely thougth to have been the Amur River'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
Main Article: History of Sakhaliya
Peoples Republic of Sakhaliya was formed in 1948 to end the disputing over who should claim ownership of Sakhalin; Russia or Japan. After a short 2 year occupation by Soviet and US forces it was decided that the Region should be free to Govern itself. Complications in the electorate procedure that conflicted with US demands lead to a military standoff between the Soviet Union and America. After a short non-violent stalemate, the US Army decided that the Region was a lost cause and all remaining US forces were shipped to Japan to help with reconstruction. The birth of the nation under a Communist banner is believed to have been a major catalyst that lead to the esculation of the Cold War in its early stages. Sakhaliya had a brief relationship with Stalin's regime; both Sakhaliya and the Soviet Union had an open border and trade policy and goods moved freely between the countries. The line between what was Soviet and what was Sakhaliyan soils was so thin that borders were only drawn up following the months after Stalin's death in 1953 when newly appointed Nikita Khrushchev initiated a fierce de-Stalinization campaign; cutting off most ties to Sakhaliya. During the 1960's Sakhaliya went into economic recession due to lack of trade and a series of crippling winters brought Agriculture to a halt. After some international assistance the nation was soon back on form, but not without a massive debt to pay. Come the discovery of Oil wealth on the island of Sakhalin and the appointment of Chairman (now Premier) Uri Buriya who loosened regulations on certain kinds of Commerce and Private ownership, Sakhaliya soon started to reap the rewards of homegrown business and used the majority of the new funds on Infrastructure such as Power Plants, Ports and Transit systems. Alot of money was also allocated to the formation of regional Councils who in turn built towns, managed roads and let large areas of landscape be de-forested. In the early 90's Chairman Buriya reformed the Politburo from a unkept morass to an efficient council-based mock Multi-Party system where only high ranking Military Officials could get into power and council members are chosen Technocratically. Presently, Sakhaliya is persuing advances in Nuclear technology, much to the distrust of the US and the EU nations. Sakhaliya assured the UN on the 30th May 2008 that its intentions were purely 'Civil' and had no intentions to persue Weapons of Mass Destruction, although it is believed that Sakhaliya may already have at least 5 Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles with a range of about 2,000 miles.
Government and Politics
The Peoples Republic of Sakhaliya is a Single Party state. The official Ideaology is 'Urist Utopianism', a Socialist Ideal unique to Sakhaliya, where the Premier holds the majority of the power over the two Commissar cabinets of the Politburo; The Commissars of Industry and the Commissars of Enterprise. The Cabinets are not seperate Parties as such, but have idealogical differences within the single party which they settle over debates, usually daily. This leads to more effective Governing by the Premier, who in a normal Single part democracy, would not be challenged to his decisions for fear of puishment. The Urist Ideaology surfaced after the collapse of the Soviet Union, with the prospect that China may be next to collapse economically, Chairman Buriya outlined Sakhaliya's first State Constitution, officially known as the Proletariat Reformation Bill [ Zakonoproekt Reformirovaniya Proletariata / Законопроект реформирования пролетариата]. It outlined the basis of a new form of Government wich would see the formation of two Commissar Cabinets with the Politburo, the transformation of the Chairman to the Offical title of Premier and the title of Vice Chairman changed to the new title of 'Commissar Prime'. It also dictated only the highest Military officials can become Commissar Prime, and eventually, Premier. This radical change in Politics sent chills through the Politburo, reminding them of the poor Political reforms Gorbachev had commenced in the USSR just a few years before its collapse. The plan seemed to stem the growth of lax, power hungry polititians within the Politburo however, forcing anybody who wanted to become leader to take the same path he had 30 years previously, the long hard road of Militaristic disipline. Those in the Politburo however, were landed with an increase in their flat-income as compensation for their misfortune and not to discourage any more budding polititians to join the Single Party. This was also effective to stem to increase in seperatism, since neither Cabinet could grab control of the country and abolish the other, Politburo members however could still become head of a specialist department and eventually head of the Cabinet they were part of.
Krai Provinces
There are 5 Krai in Sakhaliya, they tend to be controlled locally by Commissar Councils that can act by themselves but only under the strict guidance of the Politburo. The Councils generally look after local happenings such a road maintainence, Education and Healthcare funding and stablisation of the local economy. The National Government tends to take care of the more major tasks in the Krai, such as Construcion (usually done by Army Engineers), Resource extraction and Mining. The Krai are devided up usually into the Township areas of any surrounding built up area, but apart from that, the Krai tend to be considered whole and without any devisions.
