## Early life and Education

Yevgeny was born on 1862 in the province of Thureaneau to a peasant family.

Yevgeny's family was deeply religious, and he would go to church every Sunday. He dedicated his whole life to religion as a kid he read the bible five times but he wouldn’t read much except for that. He didn’t go to school as his family was too poor to afford an education. When he was 16 he began to dislike the British and American colonial occupation of the country. This was because he didn’t appreciate how secular the governments were and the culture that spread here and he knew that the government had to go.

## Independence Activism

Yevgeny was only a peasant however but he thought it was his duty from God to free his people, he formed the Christian Liberation movement which established a national identity that unified the many ethnicities based on Christian values and he recruited many people to join his organization due to a lot of people did not like being colonized.

However, as the organization grew the UK and US governments started noticing it and in 1884 he was arrested and the organization was banned. However, the organization continued to grow during his arrest as an underground organization. While the organization grew he couldn’t do much without incurring a ban and state retaliation. Conditions were also not yet dire enough to provoke a popular revolt.

This changed in 1898 when a massive famine swept through the colony and the British and American governments kept taking food from the colonies causing millions to starve. In secret Yevgeny was happy with the famine as this sparked anger amongst people, people started arming themselves and attacking government security checkpoints to steal their weapons. Eventually, Yevgeny's followers formed the UAS militia and declared independence

The militia captured the prison Yevgeny was kept in and freed him and wanted him to be the new leader of the independent states due to accreditation for starting the movement and organization. He also became the Admiral of the militias navy and led naval attacks against the British and the Americans. Militarily the US and UK were successful as they had better-organized troops but the war was too costly and quickly became unpopular so they decided to withdraw and begrudgingly accept the newly independent states.

## Head of the Provisional Government

Yevgeny set up a provisional government with himself in power and did not allow for democracy as he saw it as a flawed system. He established a Christian national identity and said at a speech in Yirviin:

"The Union of Atlantic States is held together by the sinew of Christ!". He was quite popular due to his involvement in national independence. But, after independence, the economy was not performing well due to his isolationist stance. In addition, his inability to attain a proper education for himself in his youth lead to improper management of government apparatus.

## Foreign Policy

Yevgeny protested the US’s invasion of the Philippines and condemned them for it at the league of nations. He also pursued policies of economic isolationism and did not build new industries, relying on farming, fishing, and trade with Spain to support his regime. Yevgeny was very slow to act on a variety of issues and mainly retained power by using his personal morality as evidence for his good leadership of the country, he was widely supported for his social policies, but his economic and political policies remained heavy-handed and poorly enforced, once more they spooked away investors, discouraged exports, and failed to adequately address unemployment in cities, inequality between islands, and the serious increases in foodstuff prices which accompanied international isolation.

Yevgeny engaged in a series of heated telephone calls with Woodrow Wilson who he despised on a personal and political level. Yevgeny was condemned by Wilson for being nepotistic towards Catholics and organizing his society under communitarian and hierarchical lines as opposed to the lines of individual liberties under a constitution (the UAS constitution had yet to be written). Yevgeny condemned Wilson’s involvement in the first world war and his occupation of the Philippines. It is worth noting that Yevgeny informally supported Austro-Hungary. Historians do not entirely agree on why Yevgeny did this, but reasons include the catholic nature of Austria's government and the German and Slavic ties of his citizenry with the land of Austro-Hungary. Others state that it was a means of proxy warfare directed at harassing the United States and the United Kingdom.

## Decline and Overthrow

In 1912 workers in Yirviin began protesting asking for better working conditions but Yevgeny responded by massacring the workers with the local militia.

After the war, the country went into an economic crisis and the Russian revolution led to a shift in preference for communism as an ideology. In 1920 a communist revolution spearheaded by Chairman Albert overthrew Yevgeny and ended the provisional government.
