| - The Democratic People's Republic of Japan (Japanese: 日本の民主人民共和国; Hepburn: Nihon no minshujinminkyōwakoku), commonly referred to as North Japan, is a country in East Asia that encompasses the northern half of the Japanese archipelago. It is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east and the Sea of Japan to the west. It has no land borders except with South Japan. Sapporo, located in Hokkaido, is the country's capital and largest city with a population of 1.9 million. Japan was invaded by the Soviet Union on July 15, 1945 and the northern half of the country fell under Russian control. The United States then dropped two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki a month later, compelling Japan's surrender. The United States began its occupation of the southern half while the Soviets occupied the north. The north was then governed by a provisional socialist government installed by the Soviets from 1946 until 1953 when the DPRJ was proclaimed by Rokuro Matsushita, the first premier. North Japan is officially a socialist state and has been ruled by the Japanese Workers Party (JWP) for over seven decades. The party has been accused of various human rights abuses, particularly violations of freedom of speech and the press, claims the party denies. Elections are held in the country every three years but their validity has been questioned by the U.S. and its allies. It is a developed country whose standards of living have increased since economic reforms were undertaken during the mid-1960s which opened up trade with North Japan's neighbors as well as relaxing various government controls. However, North Japan's economy remains highly centralized which critics claim is responsible for its under performance compared to its southern counterpart while its supporters claim is responsible for the decrease of social inequality. It is a member of the United Nations and the Eastern Bloc. It maintains relations with all Warsaw Pact nations as well as most NATO members.
- The Japanese People's Republic, informally known as North Japan, was the state that the Soviet Union established on the Japanese island of Hokkaido and the northern part of Honshu at the end of World War II, under Fedor Tolbukhin with some Japanese Reds acting as his puppets. Similarly, the U.S. established the Constitutional Monarchy of Japan (South Japan) in southern Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. Hirohito's 12-year-old son Akihito became the new emperor, although it was General Dwight Eisenhower who actually ran the country. The Agano River was the border between the two states with a demilitarized zone of three miles in either direction. In 1947, the Soviet military began building the "People's Liberation Army" in North Japan. In response, the U.S. created the "Constitutional Guard" in South Japan. Throughout 1947 and into 1948, U.S. commanders along the demilitarized zone sent reports to their superiors, expressing concern about North Japan's activities. In June 1948, the North Japanese People's Liberation Army invaded South Japan, beginning the Japanese War. While the south's military was initially sent into retreat, the PLA's invasion was halted by U.S. forces at Utsunomiya. From there, the U.S. and South Japanese, with bloody and hard fighting over the following year, forced the invaders back to Sendai, well north of the border. The United States destroyed Sendai (and a good part of the North Japanese military along with it) with an atomic bomb on August 6, 1949. In response, Soviet Premier Leon Trotsky ordered the bombing of the South Japanese city of Nagano three days later. The war ended in a stalemate, with a restoration of the status quo ante bellum. With the fighting over, the North Japanese government began to clamp down on its population, even shooting those who attempted to cross into the South.
