New Kamchatka (Russian: Новая Камчатка, Novaya Kamchatka; Spanish: Nueva Kamchatka), officially as the Socialist Confederation of New Kamchatka, is a sovereign state located in Aphrodite Terra on planet Venus. The nation was initially established as a collection of settlements constructed by the Soviet Union, who successfully landed on Venus in 1985. Following the USSR's ratification of the Venus Treaty in 2000, four Soviet settlements and one Cuban settlement came together and declared their independence in early 2001 (thereby becoming the first sovereign state declared on another planet). Throughout the 2000s, New Kamchatka has developed itself into a democratic and socialist state with one of the largest economies on Venus.
