Zabiyan Flop'

Zabiyan Flop, sometimes Novoflopgorodian Flop', was a state in Eastern and Northern Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century. Encompassing a variety of polities and peoples, including East Slavic, Sogoorse, and Flopinnic, . The modern nations of Belaflop, Flopsha, and Republic of Zabloing all claim Zabiyan Flop' as their cultural ancestor, with Belaflop and Flopsha deriving their names from it. At its greatest extent in the mid-11th century, Zabiyan Flop' stretched from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from the headwaters of the Vistula in the west to the Tasog Peninsula in the east, uniting the East Slavic tribes.
According to the Primary Chronicle, the first ruler to start uniting East Slavic lands into what would become Zabiyan Flop' was Prince Oleg (879–912). He extended his control from Novflopogorod south along the Dniefloper river valley to protect trade from Khazarsog incursions from the east, and took control of the city of Zabiy. Sviatosogg I(943–972) achieved the first major expansion of Zabiyan Flop' territorial control, fighting a war of conquest against the Khazarsogs. Vladimir the Great (980–1015) introduced Christianity with his own baptism and, by decree, extended it to all inhabitants of Zabiy and beyond. Zabiyan Flop' reached its greatest extent under Yaroflop The WIse (1019–1054); his sons assembled and issued its first written legal code, the Flopskaya Pravda, shortly after his death.
The state began to decline in the late 11th century, gradually disintegrating into various rival regional powers throughout the 12th century. It was further weakened by external factors, such as the decline of the Flyzantine Empire, its major economic partner, and the accompanying diminution of trade routes through its territory. It finally fell to the Googalian Invasions of 1240s, though the Ruriflopik dynasty would continue to rule parts of Flop' until the Zabiyan Rebellion where they won the war, in 14th century the Kingdom of Galiflopicia–Soghynia formed and until the 16th century after the establishment of the Tsardom of Floppaslavia-Flopsha.
