After Doomsday
It was bad in the 1962-64 weather break down and many people died as a result of it. The ice and permafrost was badly affected and swamps began to freeze, grow as an ice lake, thaw, swell, dry up, re-fill, freeze over and return to normalcy all out of sinc' with nature's rithum. A major cholera outbreak and famine hit the yet to be nation in 1963 and 1964, killing more people. As this happened, thousands of desperate Russians fled in to Manchuria and settled in make-shift camps on the banks of the Mudanjiang River.

The head party official for Chumikan, Sergi Azov and his wife, Anastacia, took control of the town in early 1965 with the help of a few remaining interior ministry and axillary army troops in the near by town of Okha. He had rallied the locals around his political stabilising the town's communist ruling clique in the centre of the Oblast and northern Sakhalin Island. A mixture of fear, a personalty cult, lies, astute collective farming ideas, propaganda and good luck kept him charged of the desperate land.

Martial law, resource sharing, food rationing, the use of penel labour and alike were offcialy declared in early 1965 until the agricultural recovery in the late 1970's.

Fist Contact
This was made with Yakutia, the city sate of Heihe and Mongolia in 1967, then Japan, Manchuria, China and Kamchatka in 1974. Explorers from Taiwan, Vietnam, Irkutsk and Tomsk found the nation in 1977.

The Journeys of Discovery
Chita Oblast was explored and partly annexed in the late 1970's. Other parts were already held by Mongolia since the mid 1970's or would also join Yakutia in the late 1970's. A journey to the coastlines of Ayano-Maysky District and Okhotsky District of the former Khabarovsk Oblast in the June of 1980, found little of worth beyond endless forest, peat bogs and a few Tungusic and Russian tribesmen, so they were ignored for the next 20 years.

1975-1987
Sergi had control of the most of Khabarovsk Oblast, the east Amur Oblast and the entire Jewish autonomous region of Birobidzhan by 1974.The autocratic Oleg Okladnikov was apointed leader in 1975 and helped consolidated the nation. The various city states of the former Primorsky Krai and the unassimilated town of Troitskoye were brutally crushed in early 1976.

The isolated Manchurian city of Heihe was besieged and defeated in late 1980. It would be then mostly peaceful assimilated in the mid-1980's. Japanese aid began to nurse the coastal parts of the nation back to health during the mid 1980's. New Vladivostok was started in 1982 and completable a year after scheduled in 1989.

The End of Communism
As Japanese, Chinese, Manchurian and Taiwanese trade poured in to Okha and Chumikan, so did much anti-communist thought and ideas. The reformist, Yuri Yanardi Radlov, came to office in 1987. New Vladivostok was started in 1982 and completable a year after scheduled in 1989. The communist system would be wound down between 1987 and 1989.

1990-1995
The pro-democracy politician Liu Jiang Nian took over in the elections of May 1st 1990 and gave the city of Heihe and the surrounding ex-Manchurian territories more autonomy.

Both Japan and Taiwan had layed idle due to lack of resources while China lacked technology and education, so they pooled resources and advanced as a single trade block called The Chegdu Pact of 1992, with Khabarovsk joining in 1993. The treaty became largley obsolete when those nations helped in creation of the economic and monitory union called the Khabarovsk Pact in 1997.

The towns of Chumikan, Birobidzhan, Troitskoye and Heihe florished under the economic and social freedoms caused by the fall of communism. On May 28, 1995, an earthquake measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale occurred, killing 2,154 people of the town of Neftegorsk, Sakhalin Oblast.

The Heihe race riots of 1996-7
In the wake of the race riots, in which 20 Chines and 16 Russians had died, the ethnicly half Korean/half Ukranian Choe Kim Khoroshavin won an emergency election in the May of 1997. His Civic Forum Party would continue the reforms that were in place and try to resolve the Sino-Russian racist problem. China and Mongolia were very concerned by the event.

1998-2000
Yuri Azov, the grandson of Sergi, was voted in to office on May 1st 2003. The close and binding Harbin treaty of May 12th, 1999, was singed with China on issues of stone trade, coal trade, iron ore smelting and logging permits. Both economies have developed greatly since.
