## History

### **The Founding [10/05/2022]**

> The Ukodian tribe, after civilizing a considerate amount of land reforms into the Ukodian Hetmanate! We will continue to hold order in the plains of Eastern Europe and prevent Warmongering barbarian tribes from forming. GLORY TO UKODIA! GLORY TO THE HETMAN!
>
> - Hetman FaSy

The first Ukodian state appeared on 10th of May 2022, becoming one of the first major superpowers in the known world. Eventually this status would fade, as the small Ukodian population, despite their technological capabilities never managed to have a great presence, nor could they upkeep cultural dominance in the world.

### **Bluewater Group**

With the Continent of Europe at large being mostly peaceful, the Hetman has decreed in creation of the Mercenary wing of the Ukodian military, being named the Bluewater Group. The PMC was later sanctioned for use in advisor operations outside of Ukodia later showing its combat ability in the Tornean war of Unification.

### **Havana Project [15/05/2022]**

The Havana Project was the agreement of researching Mystic and Atomic Technologies between the Medellín Cartel and Ukodia, in which the Cartel provided Ukodia with a large amount of funding, whilst the Hetmanate researched and produced the first Mystic and Atomic tech on the SMP.

### **Ukodian-Avalon Partnership [29/06/2022]**

On 29th of June 2022, after brief talks with Mr. Avalon, a general alliance was declared between the two nations. This would later result in a strong Economical/Technological cooperation between the states, which still lasts to this day. The alliance has created a powerful trade route between Ukodia and Automated Solutions of Avalon in particular, where Ukodia shared many of its Mystic and Atomic Technologies in return for Resources and Industrial technologies.

### **European Federation [10/07/2022]**

The European Federation, was an alliance between Ukodia and the United Provinces of Lotharingia. The alliance had the goal of increasing development in the two states. After a while the alliance fell apart due to an Inactivitus outbreak in Lotharingia, which in turn caused both the alliance and the United Provinces itself to collapse.

### **The Salaplin Incident [12/11/2022]**

After the Coronation of the Crown Prince of Tornea, one of the Hetmans Aircraft defence planes, carrying a nuclear device, suffered turbulence and fell into the city centre of Salaplin, causing more than 50 Casualties, remo

ving the city from the map entirely. The Queen of Tornea was outraged by this incident, and together with the Tornean parliament issued an ultimatum to Ukodia. The Hetman, of course not wishing to face an enemy with a larger army, had backed down and has given into the terms of the Ultimatum.

### **The Afganistan Incident [28/3/2023]**

After the court case in Afghanistan, the Hetman Fasy has attempted to annex the Blue Line. His personal guard made up of Bluewater soldiers, upon hearing of of this, have immediatly managed to arrest him. In the mean time, His nephew Oleksa Fasystov was elected as the Hetman of The Ukodian State and the Federation as whole.

This shocking news has caused the Republic of Transamur to rebel, though after swift negations with the new Hetman, the state had re-joined the federation with higher autonomy, and special privileges.

## Etymology

The nation has had a lot of different names, including Halych, Ruthenia, Ukraine, but for now the nation settled for Ukodia. The name comes from the play on words "Ukraine" + "Utopia". Since the nation itself could be described as an elective/liberal stratocracy, it takes the title of hetmanate from the 16-18th century Cossack state existing on the lands of modern day Ukraine.
