Primorsky - Khabarovsk

Primorsky-Khabarovsk ; ( Russian: Приморский - Хабаровский ), officially the Republic of Primorsky-Khabarovsk ( Russian : Республика Приморский - Хабаровский ') Is a sovereign state in East Asia. It borders Russia to the north, the People's Republic of China to the west, the Japanese Sea to the east and North Korea to the south. The country's capital and largest city is Vladivostok.

On the months of turmoil in Russia leading up to the treaty of Brest-Livotsk, dozens of Ukranians fled Ukraine and into the Russian Far East, using mostly the trans-siberian railway before the Russian Civil War started. This mass migration shaped the demographics of the area to have the Russian majority become an important minority, with the Ukranians replacing the Russians as the majority in the area.

During August of 1991, when turmoil across the USSR reached a boiling point, Far East generals mutineed and occupied the current lands owned by the Republic. On August 20th, the Republic of Primorsky-Khabarovsk was declared by a military junta, with no defined head of state. Following the independence, a decade known locally as "самодержавие" (Autocracy) took place, where the military junta established by the ex-soviet generals took control of the apparatus of state. Encouraged by the United States, the Japanese government supported the government.

In July 25th, 2001, the Military Junta backed down from power and called for free elections. The Party for a Future (Russian : Партия будущего) won the elections with 70% of the vote. After this, the Eastern Congress based in Vladivostok was created as the Legislative part of the apparatus of state. Following this, Primorsky-Khabarovsk became economically alligned with Japan, this followed rapid industrialization brought in by Japanese investment, and the Eastern economy began to grow rapidly. Today, the Republic enjoys high standards of living and a healthy economy ranking 23rd in nominal GDP behind Taiwan (561,453 US$MM). The population remains stagnant around 4.320.112 million (2011 Census)
