**Turkouralia** (Cyrillic Russian: Туркуралия) sometimes written as **Turko-Uralia**, officially the **Confederated Republic of Turkouralia** (Cyrillic Russian: Конфедеративные Pеспублики Туркуралии) was a sovereign state which was a confederated union between the Volga Bulgarian Republics of Bashkortostan, Chuvashia, Mari El, Mordovia, Tatarstan and Udmurtia. It is situated on the eastern portion of the Volga River in the former region of European Russia. Turkouralia came to existence on October 22nd 2081 in following various economic, geopolitical, trade and military agreements between the Volga Bulgarian nations which formed the Association of Volga States which was formed in 2054. Turkouralia was classified as a multinational state with its six constituent Republics, which ensured that socioeconomic policy making processes for multiculturalism was passed which ensured the growth of stability and social progressiveness. Each Republic served as a de jure independent state attached to the Confederation, having their own domestic and international affairs outside of the real union within Turkouralia, Turkouralia was also home to multiple ethnolingustic cultures, although similar with one another, were vastly different with their historical and cultural reasons.

Turkouralia was surrounded by hostile states during the downfall of the Russian Federation, this bolstered support for the union to strengthen diplomatic relations with the Western Powers at the time, in which Turkouralia gained further international aid and support in both civil, economic and military defensive means in order to repulse raids from surrounding warlord territories. Turkouralia contributed significantly in post-Putinist European Russia by providing peacekeeping operations within the Volga region and also extending its diplomatic support and mutual assistance to neighbouring former Russian countries which were struggling to contend with war. This aided Turkouralia's military to gradually expand and become more prominent in regional affairs, aiding in growing its regional influence and having its own sphere of influence within the Volga River region of Russia. This saw further private businesses prop up within the region which saw the nation's economy prosper furthermore and innovation peaked throughout the Confederated Republic, gradually putting its place on the global stage as a formidable power within the post-Russian era in the likes of Chemgota, despite its land size being significantly smaller than its rivals.

Following its formation, Turkouralia began to gradually expand its economic and rapidly advanced, modernised, urbanised and industrialised the vast majority of the constituent Republics which comprised Turkouralia. The Turkouralic state was also vastly recognised by the majority of the World's nations and also began to expand its infrastructure by constructing more railways and highways between each individual member-state of Turkouralia. The population and economy boomed several times over the late 21st century which aided in further development and hard power projection of Turkouralia. However, by the mid-early 23rd century, Turkouralia began to struggle from significant amounts of insurgencies and political upheavals which sought to secede and separate from the multinational state, Turkouralia subsequently collapsed in 2247 following mass political protests, voilence and subsequently revolution across the country, pro-government forces of the Turkouralic Armed Forces were largely outnumbered by rebel forces in each individual Republic in which, after a decade of brutal fighting saw the collapse and dissolution of the Confederated Republic of Turkouralia.

## Etymology

The name *Turkouralia* was formed when the nation established itself as an independent confederation between member states of the Association of Volga States, with its six constituent republics. *Turkouralia* was decided as the name of the unified confederation after holding a popular referendum in regards to the name and the government system in which the new confederation would legalise. However, before the formation of the term "Turkouralia" the name for the region was commonly referred to as *Idel-Ural* which usually denotes the region where Turkouralia comprises of. Turkouralia also mentions the ethnic and linguistic basis the region consists of which are mostly Turkic peoples who are indigenous to the area outside of Slavs.
