United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia

The United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporiziah was a socialist state that was formed out of rebellions against Yarova in 1926, Balkanized in 1994 into three separate states, and was replaced by Zaporiziah in 1997.

Formation of the UPRZ
In the early 20th century, a wave of sentiment hit the Rovsnoski and people, with the springing up of a multitude of separatist factions. Meanwhile, a republican revolt was beginning to reach boiling point in Yarova Proper and communist rebellions were occuring in Zaporizhia. The majority of these Rovsnoski nationalist factions had adopted the ideals of communism, gaining influence from energised Zaporizhian rebel leaders like Vladimir Kurchatov. Kurchatov, a proponent of Rovsnoski-Zaporizhian unification, received widespread support among impoverished Rovsnoski share-croppers, which furthered the possibility of a joint-insurrection. Much like the Raudonasis Judėjimas or ‘Red Movement’ in Aukalnia and Sartland at the time, the revolutionaries launched a campaign against the Yarovan imperial forces in isolated areas. Gradually, as Vojiskiy control weakened, due in no small measure by the Republican Front led by Vladimir Simakin in Yarova Proper, the rebels were enabled to engage in direct offensive tactics. On 2 February 1926, a matter of weeks after the storming of the Imperial Palace in Shchyokhov and the declaration of the United Federated Districts of Yarova, the Rovsnoski-Zaporizhian rebels had captured the last Vojiskiy stronghold of Sosnivika. Accordingly, this led to the foundation of the United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia, which was governed by an ethnically-mixed provisional government presided over by Kurchatov.

UPRZ During Peacetime
After the two states were formally unified, Vladimir Kurchatov was inaugurated as the first president of the new, socialist United Provinces, which he ruled through the Supreme Soviet. Once a predominantly agricultural country, the United Provinces was transformed into a mid-range industrial state, and acquired an international reputation due to its manufacturing of s. The United Provinces was established as a comprising two republics, from west to east: Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia. In 1943, Andre Marchotov, the then-leader of the opposing party, was kidnapped, beaten and shot. This sparked nationwide outrage and almost ignited into a civil war. However, this was successfully prevented due to a declaration of, which was utilised as a mechanism to swiftly repress all opposition before it could organise. In 1968, reserves of were discovered in swathes of territory situated between Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia and the country enjoyed an economic boom owing to this. With its new-found wealth, two major companies where formed: Zapoatom, which was tasked with constructing and operating s, and Rosuran, which carried out. In 1972, the first excavation was completed at Cherkasy Nuclear Power Station. By 1980, the plant officially commenced operations and began to supply power to Sosnivika.

The Collapse
In the late-1970s, Zaporizhia's oil resources were beginning to decrease at an accelerating rate and, by 1984, exploration and production had virtually ceased. The termination of this industry, which played a central role in the economic output of the United Provinces, had a devastating impact on the state's economy. The failure of the government to prepare for such adversity resulted in a famine and in 1993 which, according to some estimates, claimed the lives of over 40,000 Rovsnoskar-Zaporizhians. The following year, in 1994, a nonviolent demonstration in Sosnivika was met with brutality by government forces. This sparked the Rovsnoskan-Zaporizhian Civil War. For the duration of the conflict, the communists retained control over Zaporizhia, whereas much of Rovsnoska was captured by fascist separatist rebels. After heavy fighting and profound loss of life, the conflict concluded with the secession of Rovsnoska and Graznava.

Military
Before the civil war the UPRZ had around 300,000 active personnel and the ability to call up around a million reserves. This massive military was very expensive to upkeep and assisted in the UPRZ's downfall.

Infantry Fighting Vehicles
The UPRZ had over 7,000 IFVs in service in 1990
