Ukraine (Poland Falls)

The Grand Ruthenian Empire of Chernigov-Ukraine, known more commonly as Ukraine, Ruthenia, Chernigov, or Chernigov-Ukraine, is a large nation in east Europe. It borders Russia to the north and east, the to the south, the United Provinces to the North, and Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, and Bulgaria to the east.

Foundation
Chernigov was founded in 1951 by Alexei Lysenko, following the nuclear bombing of several cities, some of which were in Ukraine, as people feared being a part of the Soviet Union could lead to bombing of their homes.

Alexei Lysenko founded the nation along with Igor Svitlo and Grygoriy Pratsivnyk in Chernihiv. Chernihiv became a city-state, with its own government and constitution, as well as military. Funded by the west to fight against the Soviets, the Chernihiv City-State became the Grand Ruthenian Empire. It took up territory from the Soviets, conquering a large portion of Ukraine by the end of 1951. In 1952, it was renamed the Grand Ruthenian Empire of Chernigov-Ukraine.

Eventually, the USSR fell and in the remains Ukraine continued to expand, absorbing many small city-states.

Throughout the following years, Alexei I led Ukraine in border wars mainly with the Republic of Russia.

Government
Ukraine has a type of Constitutional Monarchy.

Tsar
The Tsar deals with mainly international relations. The Tsar of Ukraine can declare war, create deals, treaties, etc., as long as the First Representative agrees. The Tsar also has supreme veto power, and is able to veto any law. However a veto can be overridden (like in the U.S.) by a two-thirds majority in the Uyavlennya.

Uyavlennya
The Uyavlennya is the representation of Ukraine. A majority in the Uyavlennya can pass laws in Ukraine. The Uyavlennya can also declare war (2/3 majority required). Uyavlennya representatives, called a Zastupnyk, are elected every three years, one from each province of Ukraine. Zastupnyks after an election vote for other Zastupnyks on who will become the First Representative.

First Representative
The First Representative has the same power as the Tsar, except does not have supreme veto power. The First Representative also appoints Secretaries, however Secretaries must be agreed on by the Tsar.
