Ukraine (Seyana)

Ukraine, officially the Ukrainian People's Republic, is a nation and the largest country in Europe. From the 22nd century, Ukraine emerged a military, economic, and cultural superpower; and its capital Kiev emerged as an alpha ++ global city, being the first European city to do so since the decline of London.

From the 2020s, Ukraine has further aligned with the West, and had joined NATO in 2026. The war in Donbass continued, going between ceasefires and low level conflicts until the collapse of Russia in 2060. Ukraine, along with NATO, intervened in the Second Russian Civil War. Ukraine had re-annexed Crimea, along with several neighbouring oblasts including Rostov Oblast and Krasnodar Krai.

Following the radicals victory in the Second Russian Civil War despite foreign intervention, Ukrainian-Russian tensions continued to be high. In the 2080s, the Intermarium Pact was established by Ukraine and several other Eastern European countries as an political, economic and military pact that aligned itself with NATO. Following the volcanic eruption in 2153 and the dissolution of NATO, the organisation went towards its own path but continued strong ties with the United States.

In the 2160s, the Great Eastern War took place, between the Intermarium Pact and Russia-Belarus. The war lasted for six years, and was an allied victory. Russia suffered more losses and became a satellite state of Ukraine, while Belarus was dissolved.

Foreign Relations
Ukraine maintains strong and friendly ties with the United States, especially having been a part of NATO in 2026 until its dissolution. The United States is among the longest standing ally of Ukraine, and vice versa, and have a "special relationship" nearly on par with American-English relations.

Ukraine also maintains decent relations with China since 2235, a year after the establishment of the Federal Republic, and maintains an economic and security alliance.
