Sakiland

Sakiland is a highly-developed country which was founded as a part of the Russian Empire in 1658. Formerly known as "Sakistan", it is a Japanese, English and Hindi speaking country.

## History

Sakiland interned Japanese Sakians during the war, and Sakians of Russian and European descent were forced to learn Japanese.

From 1946 until 1967, Sakiland was under communist rule. Sakiland ended the communist regime in 1967 following the death of the Marxist president Yuguchi Harumi, which allowed Sakiland to be converted into a capitalist country and the sanctions on the country were lifted.

In 2006, Sakiland located its capital city from Nijiyama to Kibōto.

## Description

Sakiland is an island country and is part of the continent of Granhaul. Sakiland shares the maritime border with Oihara to the west.

### Languages

The official languages are English, Japanese and Hindi. Japanese as one of the official languages was formed when Sakiland was under Japanese rule, in 1899. During the late 1960s, with the increasing number of residents migrating from Anglophone countries and South Asian countries to Sakiland, English and Hindi were added as part of the official languages. (Sakian English is a mix of vocabulary from British, American and Indian English.)

Sakiland embraces an English-based multilingual education system, despite having three official languages. Students are taught subject-matter curriculum with English as the medium of instruction, while the official mother tongue of each student — an Asian language (Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Malay, Filipino, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese), a European language (Croatian, Danish, Finnish, French, German, Greek (Modern or Classic), Hungarian, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish), an African language (Afrikaans, Igbo, Xhosa, Zulu), a Middle Eastern language (Arabic, Dari, Pashto, Persian, Urdu), or an Indian language (Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Odia, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu). The languages that the schools offer may vary by district to district and location to location nationwide.

A person who wants to become a Sakian citizen must only use English during naturalisation. Taxi drivers, bus drivers and ride-sharing drivers must know basic English and one other language, though with some exceptions.

### Currency

The official currency of Sakiland is Sakian Yen (SAK¥).
