Ainu Republic

The Ainu Republic is a country located in Hokkaido, in the Northeast corner of the map. The Ainu Republic is named after the Ainu, native to Hokkaido, the Kuril Islands, Southern Sakhalin, and Northern Honshu. Due to the low population, player SkinOfChild was not able to claim the Kuril Islands. Thus, the Ainu Republic is restricted to Hokkaido alone.Due to the small size of the Ainu Republic, and SkinOfChild's inability to PvP well, the Ainu Republic chooses to remain neutral and peaceful as possible, making alliances with its neighbors, as well as the Republic of Mendel Islands.

The Republic currently only has the city of Sat Poro Pet, however the cities of Hakodate, Wakkanai, and Kushiro-Nemuro are being planned. In Sat Poro Pet, one can see 1 house, inhabited by SkinOfChild, a restaurant, and a hotel, along with a garden across the small stream and a few farms here and there. Beyond such, forests and former forests logged (albeit poorly) by Japan. Just outside of Sat Poro Pet lies a small port, with a single boat owned by SkinOfChild.

The Ainu economy is mostly self sufficient, with Ainu farming consisting of Sweet Berries, Wheat, Potatoes, Carrots, Melons, Pumpkins, and Sugar Cane. As such, the Ainu Republic is able to sell Paper, Sugar, Melons, Pumpkins, and Sweet Berries from the farms. The Ainu Republic also has Wood and Tourism as other markets. However, most other players have pointed out that, because these items are rather basic, most will not buy them, which until now seems to be true. Furthermore, SkinOfChild sometimes goes on expeditions in North America for fish, wood, and cactus, adding to the Ainu Republic's Supplies.

As of now, SkinOfChild is attempting to gain citizens of the Ainu Republic, but until now these efforts have been fruitless. Thus, SkinOfChild is open to anyone joining the nation, and will likely continue to until the land starts becoming crowded.
