Commonwealth of Dosei (Solar Wars)

Founded in 2438 following its independence from the Republic of Saturnalia, the Commonwealth of Dosei is a small, majority Japanese nation consisting of Saturn's moon Iapetus. Though it has a small population and an almost non-existent military, Dosei has strong relations with Saturnalia, including a defence treaty guaranteeing protection. Many consider Dosei a vassal state of Saturnalia.
