The newly restored Tolé District, Panama
The Congress of the Panamanian Federation approved the admission of a new member, the District of Tolé, in a session on October 21 of 2021. The local autonomous state was organized in land under the Federation's control that lies between its two largest members, the capital and the Republic of Azuero. Much of the remaining territory in that region was annexed to other nearby member states. Tolé is the first new member to be admitted to the federation since its re-foundation in 2013, and the first new state organized under the auspices of the federal government. Panama's foreign ministry issued a statement that Tolé is "a sign of our continuing success in rebuilding our nation." The Panamanian Federation governs most of the land between the Canal Zone and the Costa Rican border; Colombia has made efforts to occupy some of this territory.

Butrón Castle, Euskadi.
It´s located in Gatika, in the province of Biscay, in northern Spain.

It dates originally from the Middle Ages, although it owes its present appearance to an almost complete rebuilding begun by Francisco de Cubas (also known as Marqués de Cubas) in 1878.

The castle has a fairy-tale look about it inspired by Bavarian castle models. The present building was created as a hobby for its then owner and to create something which is visually spectacular rather than to produce something in which people could actually live.

It fell into disuse and was later renovated and opened to the public. This proved to be unsuccessful and the building was closed to visitors although the grounds remained open, now being a farm

Agafia Karpovna Lykova, a Russian Old Believer, part of the Lykov family, who has lived alone in the taiga for most of her life. As of 2016, she resides in the Western Sayan mountains, in the Khakassian ASSR (established after Doomsday). Lykova became a national phenomenon in the early 1980s when Vasily Peskov published articles about her family and their extreme isolation from the rest of society. Lykova is the sole surviving member of the family and has been mostly self-sufficient since 1988, when her father died,

(The Republic of Khakassia wasn´t separated of the Krasnoyarsk Krai until 1991 IOTL, so I assume that it was created after DD, and Peskov died on Doomsday)

Rjurik Lonin Museum of Veps Ethnography in Sholtozero is a museum located in Sholtozero, in the Republic of Karelia.

The museum was founded in 1967 by a Veps resident of the Sholtozero village, sovkhoz worker Rjurik Lonin (1930–2009), who was originally from the Kaskez' village, likewise located in the Prionezhskiĭ District, at the southern border of the Karelian Republic.

Lonin had been interested in collecting folklore already in his early years during the Finnish occupation of his home area in the Second World War. Later, when he was living in Petrozavodsk, Nikolai Bogdanov, a researcher of the Veps language in the Karelian branch of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, in the Department of Languages, Literature and History (YALI), encouraged Lonin to collect Veps folklore.

In the 1980s, the museum was given new premises in the so-called Mel’kin House in the Mel’kamättas ('Mel’kin's Hill') neighbourhood, where it is now located. According to the home pages of the museum, this house "was built in the mid-19th century and it is a monument of Karelian wooden architecture". This house was built by Ivan Mel’kin, who was a famous stonemason, known for his work with porphyry stone. According to Lonin, Mel’kin built the Red Bridge or the Theater Bridge that crosses the Griboyedov Canal, and in the past this bridge was known as "Mel’kin Bridge". The last master of the house was Ivan Vasil’yevich Mel’kin. The last noteworthy representative of this family was Nikolai Mel’kin (b. 1929), who was a prominent and long-time member of the Sholtozero Veps National Choir.
The Tuchin House, located behind the Mel’kin House, is also part of the museum. This house was originally located in the village of Kalinansar', along the road to Matfejansel’g (Matfeyeva Sel’ga), and it was moved to its present location in 1977. During the Finnish occupation its residents were Dmitriĭ Yegorovich Tuchin and his wife Maria Mihaĭlovna Tuchina. Dmitriĭ Tuchin functioned as the village elder in the Finnish administration, but he also accommodated Soviet partisans in his house. The novel The Operation in the Vacuum Zone by Oleg Tikhonov tells about the activities of Dmitriĭ Tuchin during the war. An excerpt of this novel has been published in Finnish in the journal Punalippu ('The Red Flag').

A well known resident of this house during the war was Sylvi Paaso, a Finnish-born Soviet partisan and radio operator, who kept the Soviet troops up to date on the movements of the Finnish troops along Lake Onega.
