The Democratic People's Republic of Sachalin is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Shagidzyanov Yaroslav with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, soft-spoken computers, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 952 million Sachalinis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Larionovgrad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.3%.

The powerhouse Sachalini economy, worth 87.7 trillion Sachalin Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 92,085 Sachalin Rubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 346,096 per year while the poor average 17,103, a ratio of 20.2 to 1.

Top government officials are seen nervously grocery shopping among the general public, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, it is well recognised that you can't sustain communism without a bit of spirit, and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sachalin's national animal is the Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sachalin is ranked 66,375^th in the world and 2^nd in Raspberry Commune for Fattest Citizens, with 12.66 Obesity Rate.
