Kunashir
Kunashir (Russian: Кунаши́р, koo-nah-SHIHR) is the southernmost of the Kuril Islands in Sakhalin Oblast. Known Kunashiri (国後) in Japanese, the island is only 24 km away from Hokkaido, Japan, and is visible on a clear day. Appropriately enough, the Japanese characters mean "after the country", although the original Ainu name actually means "Black Island".

gollark: Funnily enough, the 32 byte limit is *barely* long enough that I can define and use... the identity function.
gollark: `9**9**9**9**9**9*9` is greater than 2^64, probably, so I cannot be stopped with C/Rust.
gollark: Unless we are just ignoring such limits.
