The Gosduma of East Sakhlin is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Konstantin Rodzaevsky with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The cynical, devout population of 4.17 billion Sakhalinsks 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aleksandrovsk-Sakhalinskiy. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Sakhlinian economy, worth 504 trillion Saks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 121,084 Saks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that Konstantin Rodzaevsky has won three lotteries in a row, postcards from East Sakhlinian driving test centres are popular souvenirs, war vets look after war animals, and the police turn a blind eye to desecration if it's done in the name of religion or protest. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Sakhlin's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Russian Orthodox.

East Sakhlin is ranked 197,183^rd in the world and 8,018^th in the South Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 63.95 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
