The Second Tsardom of East Sakhlin is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Tsar Brutus Rurikids I with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.117 billion Sakhalinsks are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of East Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. The average income tax rate is 42.6%.

The all-consuming East Sakhlinian economy, worth 118 trillion Saks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 105,715 Saks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 Orthodox Christianity.

East Sakhlin is ranked 132,800^th in the world and 6,013^th in the South Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 10.77 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
