Something like "Republic of Sakha", "Sakha federation", "Yakut republic" etc. would also count.

The purpose of this market is to predict if the Sakha republic would secede from Russia.

If a country with a similar name is member of the UN that has no relation whatsoever to the Sakha republic that is currently part of Russia, this is not enough to trigger a YES resolution. This question refers to some kind of descendant of the current Sakha republic.
