Yilou (Korean: 야레 yaleo, Japanese: 沿海州 jilou) officially the Yilouan People's Republic (Korean: 야레어 인민 공화국 yaleo-eo inmin gonghwagug,Japanese: 沿海州の人民共和国 jilou no jinmin kyowakoku) is a sovereign state located in East Asia, bordering Russia to the North, China and North Korea to the South West and Japan to the East across the Sea of Japan. The name of Yilou comes from an ancient tribal kingdom which existed from 2333 BC. Yilou lies in the north temperate zone with a predominantly mountainous terrain. Yilou has a total population of 15 million people, the majority of which reside in the area surrounding Yilou's capital, Engaiju. Yilou's official languages are Korean and Japanese. Yilou has been inhabited since the Lower Paleothic Period, and its civilisation began with the tribal kingdoms integration into the kingdom of Gojoeson in 700 BC. Yilou later became part of the Korean Kingdom of Joseon during the 15th century, and later the Empire of Korea in then end of the 19th century. During the 20th century Yilou remained under Japanese colonial rule, until 1945 when it became part of the People's Republic of Korea under the Soviet Union occupation, until it separated from North Korea in 1946 and created the Yilou People's Republic. During the 1950's a series of Military Coup d'etats installed a new regime, which was starkly socialist, however took an anti-Soviet stance. The new government was set up with the intention of espousing socialism, without the political oppression and cruelty that had been displayed in both the Soviet Union and North Korea in recent years prior. Taking influence from non-Eastern Bloc aligned countries, such as Westland.
