The Autonomous Autocratic Protectorate of the U.B.S. (Unified Balkan States) A.K.A.: THE FRENCH PROTECTORATE OF THE BALKAN STATES, THE AUTOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE BALKANS
The Autonomous Autocratic Protectorate of the Unified Balkan States began 10 years ago as a simple reincarnation of the old state of Yugoslavia. In a fearful show of force through military prowess and determination, the pre-French U.B.S. invaded Turkey, with an armistice being signed before the Balkan soldiers could reach the Middle East. The armistice called for a secession of both the Turkish Balkan area, as well as nearly half of the mainland country, stopping at the area dubbed with the name the '18th Parallel', to U.B.S. occupation, jurisdiction, and control.
After the continuing rise in tension between the French and the U.B.S. following the French invasions and annexations of Germany and Denmark, the U.B.S. promised to militarily support any other unjustly invaded country in Europe, providing they were victims of French or British aggression. When word reached the capital, Sarajevo, of the Peoples Republic of Great Britain and Ireland's invasion of Norway, the U.B.S. was quick to act and immediately declared war on Britain. In turn, through some sense of a defacto alliance, France declared war on the U.B.S., causing tensions to rise between the Austro-Italian Uni-Nationalist Republic and France. The entire Austro-Italian army was mobilized to the Austrian and Italian frontiers immediately, causing President Elliot Sarrade to threaten the country with military retaliation should the Austro-Italians get involved. Fear of the use of nuclear weapons began to rise, as both the U.B.S. and the French were nuclear powers. Sarrade dispatched a large naval force to the Adriatic coast, preparing to dispatch several naval commando teams directly into U.B.S. territory as to destroy every known Balkan nuclear launch facility.
This was done with stunning success, with only 3 commando casualties during the duration of the mission (codenamed "Opération : Soleil En bas" or "Operation: Sun Down"). The French were quick to take complete advantage of their quick victory, and demanded that the current government of the Balkans step down, to be replaced by a Frenchman, Marvin D'amour. If the demands weren't met within 24 hours, the French would launch a nuclear attack on Sarajevo. The U.B.S. officially surrendered to the French only an hour before the ultimatums expiry on the night of December 28th, 2399, and the next day the Autonomous Autocratic Protectorate of the Unified Balkan States was officially established as a protectorate of France, with an monthly economic toll being paid to Paris every month.
The Republic of the Crimea
A.K.A.: THE REPUBLIC OF THE UKRAINE AND THE CRIMEA
The Republic of the Crimea seceded from the Ukraine in 2367 amid international controversy on the matter. During the Third World War, it remained neutral (unlike its former ruler, the Ukraine) but shipped arms and resources to the forces of Britain and America. In 2379, a year after the end of the war, the Ukraine fell on hard economic times, and expressed its desire to reunify with the Crimea. The Crimea agreed, providing that the name of the entirety of the new nation remain as the Republic of Crimea, with the Ukraine becoming a province of the Crimea, and the former provinces of the Ukraine becoming states. The Ukrainians reluctantly agreed to this proposal, and were officially annexed by the Crimea in 2382.
During the French-Sarrade crisis, the Crimean government was quick to endorse France, despite inside sources in the Crimean Intelligence Services (Кримська розвідки in Ukranian) which knew very well of the propaganda of the Sarrade regime.
The Republic of Western Russia
A.K.A.: THE REPUBLIC OF OLD RUSSIA, THE PRINCIPAL RUSSIAN FRACTURE STATE, THE ORANGE REPUBLIC
In 2072, the Second Russian Civil War broke out between the 'New Soviets,' (Второй советские республики социалистов or Second Soviet Socialists Republic in Russian) as they were called, as well as the Russian Federation's government forces over ultimate control of the country. The New Soviets were born of a second economic depression created by the economically unsound practices of the worlds corporate capitalists, in which the New Soviets promised to resurrect the old Russian prosperity of the 20th century. This resulted in a war of both physical and political attrition, with both sides split in almost entirely equal share. Near what most perceived would be an end to the seemingly perpetual war via a peace treaty, a third party came into prominent role; the forces of the center-right calling themselves the 'Moderate Independents' (Умеренный независимые in Russian). In 2088, after several months of extreme tension between the Federal and New Soviet forces, the Moderates decided to side with the Federation, in exchange for a deal; following the defeat of the New Soviets, the Moderates would be permitted to create their own independent nation, which they dubbed with the name: The Transural Republic. This incredibly bolstered the Federal forces, giving them the obvious upper hand in this conflict; with quick succession, the New Soviets were pushed back over half a million square miles, with mounting casualties on both sides as a result. Victory seemed assured for the Federals and Moderates by the end of 2089, when the New Soviets were pushed to within a thousand miles of the Chinese-Mongolian borders, but there was a sudden violent turn in the course of the conflict. On February 17th-29th, Federal forces, working with well-armed Moderate forces, captured the small town of Radishchev in far eastern Russia, they were met with great mental and verbal opposition from the townsfolk, most, if not all of whom supported the New Soviets. In violent retaliation, the Moderate and Federal forces began a 12 day purging process, in which they attempted to eradicate the entire population of the town. Some of the soldiers even went as far as to rape mothers and daughters, and then kill them in front of the husband, who would then be killed on the spot as a pleasure sport. Despite the governments efforts to keep this under raps after its occurrence, the political turmoil and instability of the country allowed no room for such action to go undetected. Unbeknownst to the Federal and Moderate forces, a New Soviet insider in the Moderates who was present at the time secretly filmed and photographed some of the activity, some of which was filmed directly in the open, as he claimed that he was filming some of the rapes for the perpetrating soldiers to 'enjoy later.' Following the destruction of Radishchev, the insider was asked to turn the tapes over to the Russian High Command in Moscow as to be destroyed. He briskly stated that they were already 'on their way to Mongolia' where the New Soviet leaders were stationed at the time. It quickly leaked to news outlets across the world, destroying the international communities opinions of the Moderate and Federal forces, as well as the war itself, and all of a sudden, it was no loner simply an internal matter. Two months after the atrocities at Radishchev, the United Nations kicked the Russian Federation off of the United Nations Security Council, as well as commissioned a large NATO and American-Canadian coalition force to intervene in the conflict as to bring a fair and just end to the conflict. With little actual military action on the part of the Coalition or NATO forces, all three belligerent factions agreed to outline terms for peace at the Berlin Peace Conference a month later. In the year-long discussions, a final agreement was finally met in early 2092, in which three separate nations were spawned from the ashes of the Russian Federation: in west Russia, the Republic of Western Russia was established as a parliamentary democracy, with its capital to be Moscow; in central Russia, the area from the Urals to Siberia were established as the Transural Republic as a one-party parliamentary dictatorship; and to the east, the Siberian Socialists Republic was established as a one-party parliamentary dictatorship as well, but it quickly became a one man totalitarian dictatorship within a year of its creation, under the leadership of Boris Kharchov, former Supreme Commander of the New Soviet forces during the civil war.
Over the years, the relationship between the three fracture states remained a political roller coaster in which they both improved and became critically close to war at different times over the course of the 300 year gap between the civil war and the rise of the French Sarrade Autocracy in the west. During the Third World War, Western Russia was a belligerent nation who assisted in the defeat of the Five Powers. It also eventually regained its seat on the United Nations Security Council 50 years after it was expelled, and maintains friendly relations with France and the other key world powers. In the 2340's, however, it began tilting towards becoming a dictatorial police state, similar to what had become of both Britain, America, and France following the Third Depression, which brought on radical ideological changes worldwide, usually shifting to the far right.
The Autonomous Protectorate of Belarus
A.K.A.: THE FRENCH PROTECTORATE OF EASTERN POLAND AND BELARUS
The Autonomous Protectorate of Belarus came into existence following the defeat of the U.B.S. and Poland to France, in which the French alleged that the Poles were taking the same political stance as Norway had, and as such, invaded and occupied the country for both 'its own security,' as well as the 'continued security of the French nation.' During the invasion of Poland, Belarus declared war on France and Britain due to its perception that Poland was being unjustly conquered by yet another foreign power. This caused the poorly equipped Belarusian military to simply become pointless victims of the French forces eastern drive, in which they eventually reached Minsk and forced the Belarusian government to surrender. A month later, Sarrade 'rewarded' Belarus and eastern Poland with 'independence' from France, annexing western Poland as another United Nations Trust Territory. As such, in late 2405, the Autonomous Protectorate of Belarus was officially established as a puppet state of France.
