Hokkaido (Wastelands: Map Game)

The Republic of Ezo, also known as Hokkaido, is a nation in East Asia. 
During the Third World War, Hokkaido lost Sapporo, Hakodate, and Tomakomai to nuclear missiles. Some time later after the war, the Republic of Ezo was established on Hokkaido, with Asahikawa being established as the capital.
Ezo supported the Amurian Confederation during their war against the Korea, with the latter being supported by the People’s Federation of China as well as Tokyo-Yokohama. Despite sending a bit of support, Amuria lost the war, and lead to the government backing down. Nevertheless, the government, unofficially, continues to be against Tokyo-Yokohama (later Honshu) and their influence; and is locked in a cold war while avoiding any possible direct confrontation at all costs. The Ezo government also has a general pro-Russian stance.
