==== Petropavlovsk Agreement ====
After the Pacific War had come to an end, the Kuril Islands ended up under an American military administration. Japan had claimed the islands as being part of its territory since, but hadn't pressed the claims as they too were under an American administration. Following the foundation of the Republic of Kamchatka the American-supported Russian nation laid claim to the island chain as well, creating an issue internally within the Organization of Free Nations.
With the return to an civilian administration within Japan, the issue of the Kuril Islands were seen as a priority issue that needed taking care of. Though the Japanese wished for the entire island chain to be ceded back to their control, the Americans realised their fledgling Russian state needed to be given support and legitimacy. Thus the Petropavlovsk Agreement was signed between both nations in which the south Kuril islands were ceded to Japan, while the northern islands were given to Kamchatka, in return for Japanese fishing rights in the islands territory.
