Crimea

Crimea is a peninsula on the northern coast of the Black Sea which Russia under President Vladimir Putin seized from Ukraine in March 2014. 
Dubbed an "unsinkable aircraft carrier," Crimea remains home to Russia's Black Sea Fleet. It is also a tourism and gambling center although many western nations boycott the region to protest Russia's invasion, annexation and occupation of most of Ukraine in the 2010s soon after the annexation of Crimea.
After most Western European nations normalized relations with Russia in 2019 and recognized its new borders, a trickle of eccentric tourists began visiting Crimea. Tourists from Russia, Turkey and the Balkans are the primary visitors to Crimea's casinos.
