Eastern Russian Republic (Volatile Disposition)

The Eastern Russian Republic, or as it is commonly referred to, Eastern Russia, is a Federal Presidential Republic in East Asia. It is a member of the AEAN and the 16th largest country on Earth in terms of population size.

Eastern Russia became separate from the Russian Federation following the Third World War, when a joint Japanese-American administration set into place a new administrative division of the Russian Federation, initially called the Russian Far Eastern District. However, with the eventual retreat of American forces from China in the 2040s and then Russia, both of which experienced a nationalist resurgence, the RFED became a permanent nation with a surge of Russian refugees and Japanese immigrants, becoming the Eastern Russian Republic in 2047.

The country is militarily dependent on Japan and Korea as one of the supporting members of the AEAN. It is, while technically at war with the Western Russian Federation, still a pacifist nation dedicated only to self-defence.

In contrast, Eastern Russia is an economic powerhouse of Japanese and American creation. It is economically a welfare state with free market elements that allows it to survive in the region, attracting investors from international locations thanks to its resources and growing population, the fastest-growing in the world.

Eastern Russian culture is a fusion of Japanese and traditional Orthodox Russian. It is an odd postmodern type of culture best described as one of the most unique in the world.
