The Democratic People's Republic of Sachalin is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Shagidzyanov Yaroslav with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.024 billion Sachalinis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kremlev. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.0%.

The powerhouse Sachalini economy, worth 97.4 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, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, 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 95,155 Sachalin Rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 327,577 per year while the poor average 20,251, a ratio of 16.2 to 1.

Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands, armed security details escort librarians to their homes, and nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very 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, and its national religion is Atheism.

Sachalin is ranked 70,443^rd in the world and 2^nd in Raspberry Commune for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,398.08 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
