Černaruská Socialistická Republika

Чернарусская Социалистическая Республика

## General Information

**Chernarus**, officially the **Chernarussian Socialist Republic (ChSR)** is a nation situated in the north of the Caspian Sea (Locally known as the Green Sea). The capital, Novigrad, is situated on the coast of the Burnaya River delta in the south-west of the country, which sits close to the nation's former border with a nation called Takistan. The Burnaya and Svetlaya rivers form the core of modern Chernarus, giving rise to major cities like Novigrad and Belozersk. Other major settlements can be found along the length of the nation's coast, such as Chernogorsk and Primorsk.

## History

Chernarus has been inhabited from at least the 5th Century, with Slavic peoples settling the area sometime around the 11th Century. Various dukedoms controlled the region until the nation was united in the 13th Century by Duke Taras Kozub.

In 1631 Chernarus joined the Russian Empire, and remained a part of it until the dissolution of the monarchist government in 1917, where it became a part of the Soviet Union as an autonomous republic after the Russian revolution.

The Chernarussian peoples served in the RKKA during the **Great Patriotic War** (referred to as Velká Vlastenecká Válka in Chernarussian), as evidenced by numerous war memorials.

In the 1950s, the government and local councils of the Chernarussian ASSR began industrializing coastal areas of the region of South Zagoria, transforming Chernogorsk, the administrative centre of the province from a small fishing village to a large regional harbour, primarily to facilitate the transport of supplies to Elektrozavodsk rather than to enhance its traditional role of linking northern trade routes.

After the collapse of the USSR, the newly formed Republic of Chernarus gained it's independence for the first time in more than 300 years. The newly established Chernarussian Defence Forces assumed ownership of all military assets and installations in the new republic, including the airbase near the town of Vybor. The newly formed government and regional councils assumed control of the nation. to protect the most industrialized region from more pollution (South Zagoria), the government and the Ministry of Natural Preservation declared South Zagoria to be a "Natural Protection Zone".

The Independent Republic prospered until the collapse of the world's nations due to mass warfare.
