The Democratic Republic of Īsutarando (Japanese: Īsutanrando Minshu Kyōwakoku ) was a socialist state in South America. It was established after the February Revolution of 1973, in which soldiers and civillians, inspired by the principles of the Juche ideology overthrew King Morohito after a number of political and economic incidents. The new government attempted to put an autarkical plan in place, ensuring the Īsutarandonean self-suffiencicy, and engaged heavily in anti-imperialist efforts, banning most foreign pieces of culture except for few authorised North-korean and Soviet influences. While initially somewhat prosperous due to massive industrialization projects and Soviet economical aid, the situation quickly deteriorated due to failed economic attempts at collectivation and widespread political reppression. The Īsutarandonean Hunger Crisis, starting in 1975, would take over 5 million lives until it's end in 1986, well after the fall of the socialist regime. The dire conditions of living generated unrest in the populace, who revolted against the government in April 1981. The US, aiming to take advantage of the opportunity, allied itself with Morohito, launching an invasion and successfull Coup D'Etat in Īsutarando in the start of 1982, marking the end of the regime and restoring the monarchy.
