The Soviet Republic of The State of Karafuto is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Chairman Yamamoto with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and fear of technology.

Wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, the government is forced to pander to the will of every fruitcake politician, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, and war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The State of Karafuto's national animal is the pheasant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Secularism.
