**Budjak** (Russian, Ukrainian & Bulgarian: Буджак, Romanian: Bugeac, Gagauz & Turkish: Bucak) officially the **Republic of Budjak** was initially a breakaway state which declared its independence from Ukraine on March 19th 2063 due to years of regional instability and regionalist sentiment growing in regards of Ukraine's oversight on the region and neglect, not being considered a interim portion of Ukraine but rather a territory, the cultural significant between Ukraine and Budjak were largely differed, as Budjak was a multicultural region of the country which had different nationalities and ethnicities within one region, with these complications and the Ukrainian government's inability to politically appeal towards the residents of regional Budjak, an independent Republic was established in 2063 under the control of a popularist right ring party, these political actions prompted a retaliation from Ukraine in which it followed suit 3 days later with a contingency plan to stabilise Budjak and reintegrate it as apart of wider Ukraine, although the Budjak Militia interpreted the Ukrainian ambitions and the majority of Ukrainian forces were pushed back out of the region or were destroyed due to the ruthless strikes the Budjak Militia forces launched against the Ukrainian military, using asymmetric warfare and having overwhelming local support for the resistance organisation. Leading to the Ukrainian occupation to be ultimately repelled and insufficient in maintaining administration and control over the region. This led to the Treaty of Akkerman which formerly ended hostilities between Ukraine and Budjak, along with the official establishment of the Republic of Budjak and receiving international recognition following the end of the war.

Following the end of the war and the formal establishment of Budjak's independence and sovereignty from Ukraine's rule, the Republic of Budjak saw large scale economic growth in the years following the end of the conflict in which the Republic of Budjak then transitioned towards a Social Democracy, influenced by nations such as the Chemgota and the United Kingdom to enact social reforms and towards appeasement towards the population of Budjak, alongside the implementation of social change and Westernisation, Budjak's internal ethnic problems and diversity was quelled as the recognition of local languages were officially legalised as apart of the Minority Unity Act which granted special autonomous raions their own legislature and representation within the legislature of Budjak, with local schools also teaching their customs and languages to keep those alive in the aforementioned raions. During this period, the capital of Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'kyi was renamed to its traditional name, Akkerman. In which the capital quickly grew into the largest urban area of the country and saw urbanisation schemes towards the surrounding region of the capital, creating suburban regions and a metro area, transitioning the capital into an auspicious thriving settlement south of Bessarabia. Budjak was also the first nation to have their national motto written in Esperanto rather than Latin or a traditional language spoken in the region.

Although having relative growth and expansion with several reforms, enactments and laws being passed to grow the nation into a prosperous country within Eastern Europe, its historical significance of being apart of the wider Bessarabia led to many Moldovan nationalists taking demand towards the Moldovan government to invade their southern neighbour in an effort to annex the country into Moldova for the nation's unity and to fuel the national growth of the country, this led to the Nationalists of Moldova seizing control of the Moldovan government in a bloodless coup and the Moldovan casus belli was to establish the Republic of Bessarabia as whole. With these worries being pressured on Budjak's affairs, the Republic of Budjak called upon several nations to aid with its defence against the invasion from the Moldovans from the north, shortly afterwards in June 17th 2083, the Moldovan State declared war on the Republic of Budjak, starting the Moldovan-Budjaki War, this war ended with Budjak retaining its sovereignty and the Republic of Moldova being reinstalled under the control of the Democratic Party of Moldova, a Social Democratic party.

With the end of the Moldovan-Budjaki War, Budjak began to rekindle their relations with their northern neighbour and formatting several treaties between Moldova and Budjak to form a common agreement in certain political aspects such as Moldova being able to have ports on Budjak territory and an open transport agreement between the two, after the war Budjak saw further growth and support from foreign investors, corporations and nations to rebuild after the end of the devastating conflict.
