Republic of White Ukraine

845AD - 907AD

The **Republic of White Ukraine** was a republic located in North America. The nation was founded by Ukrainian settlers who arrived to the region through the northern United States, becoming the White Ukrainians. It controlled all of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, as well as parts of British Columbia, Ontario, and NWT.

## History

### Arrival to Manitoba

Before the founding of White Ukraine, the Republic of Ukraine in Europe was in crisis. Economic and political scandals resulted in conflict with Russia and a spike in poverty. Many Ukrainians, especially those living in the southern and central regions began to flee the country. America took this opportunity and gave benefits to the Ukrainian migrants, encouraging them to settle in their country.

America soon hatched a resettlement program for them. The Ukrainian immigrants were provided with land grants to a new land on the northern frontier of America, specifically the lands of southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Many immigrants flocked into the unclaimed lands, as their expertise in farming gave them the experience needed to start a new life. Others went to the Salteaux-controlled territories and Winnipeg.

The main area settled by them would become the region of southern Saskatchewan. Soon after, a constitution was created and the new nation was founded. It was deemed that it would be called "White Ukraine", due to the region's weather being cold and snowy.

### Expansion

The newly formed nation of White Ukraine began its expansion shortly after it formed. It expanded across neighboring lands, bordering two native American nations next to it, the Saulteaux and Plains Cree. However, the nation would soon be faced with its first war. The Salteaux government rejected the settlers who arrived into their lands. With the aid of America and White Ukraine, the Ukrainians living in the Salteaux lands would stage an uprising.

White Ukraine would declare war on the Saulteaux in support of the rebellion. Winnipeg was soon captured, and the territory of the Saulteaux was annexed into White Ukraine. After more Ukrainian settlers arrived to the city, White Ukraine declared Winnipeg as its new capital. Afterwards, they would expand towards the coast, and towards the Great Lakes. They also made a deal with America on their future borders. After reaching the Hudson Bay, they expanded towards the Swampy Cree. They also invaded the neighboring Plains Cree, and expanded north into the tundra. They also joined the Boston Accord.

Later on, they invaded the Swampy Cree and reached the Great Slave Lake. They united with Canada in 907AD.

## Politics

White Ukraine was a semi-presidential republic, and had many varying political parties. The largest parties were the Republican Party, Socialist Party, and the People's Party. There were also many other smaller political parties, such as the Agrarianists, Liberals, Conservatives, Social Democrats, and various ethnic minority-based parties. This is mainly due to the fact that Ukraine itself had many varying political parties, and the immigrants had various beliefs.
