Samukan, officially the United Republic of Samukan, is a country in mainland Kennan, bordered by United Solcialist States of Jakeopia to the north and Ethan Foley to the east. The total area of Samukan is about 360,000 square kilometers (140,000 sq mi). It is the founding nation of Kennan, and one of its most influential members, currently holding the title of Secretary of Administration.
Samukan is a unitary presidential republic, headed by a central government containing the National Senate, High Court, President and their Cabinet. The country is divided into twelve provinces, each with its own legislative body known as the Provincial Senate and led by a Governor. Provinces are further divided into prefectures, which act as minor administrative divisions surrounding a major city or town, and are primarily used for organizing emergency forces and school districts. The government is primarily controlled by the Liberal Democratic Party, the Conservative Party, the Labor Party, and the Nationalist Party, although smaller political parties hold some seats in the Provincial Senates.
Samukan is primarily made up of deciduous forests and grasslands, but the country also contains the Sky Mountains to the east and some of the Jakeopian Desert to the north-west. Samukan also has territory on the Western Islands of Kennan, a strip of land running north to south with Samukanian territory located near the southern end, bordering Ethan Foley territory. Rivers cross the nation, a geographic feature that was key in the establishment of trade between (and later unification of) the Samukanian city-states shortly after its establishment.
