United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia

The United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporiziah was a Socialist Federal Republic that was formed out of the Vojiskiy War in 1926, Balkanized in 1994 through the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation 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 people, with the springing up of a multitude of separatist factions, many inspired by the writings of Nenad Umljenović. The Legija Death Corps, and militia had taken control of Krevnigrad and large parts of southern Rovsnoska early in the war. Meanwhile, a republican revolt was beginning to reach boiling point in Yarova Proper. A large amount of the Rovsnoski nationalist factions had adopted the ideals of communism, gaining influence from energised Zaporizhian rebel leaders like Vladimir Kurchatov. These communist groups would clash with both the Legija and Imperial forces, eventually driving the Legija out of Krevnigrad in 1925. 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.

United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia (1926-1994)
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. The assassin, Mislav Bešić, was an associate with various anarchist groups in the UPRZ and was hung a few days later without trial. This sparked nationwide outrage and almost ignited into a civil war between the Rovsnoski and Zaporizhians. 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. The chaos caused by the unrest and massive military failures against the Federation of Gradinska pulled the UPRZ out of the Białemorze Conflict.

Białemorze Conflict (1942-1944)
As the Kingdom of Gradinska, a monarchy bordering Rovsnoska's west, fell into an economic depression in 1934 multiple communist groups began gaining a large following. These groups would find massive support from the UPRZ, with many MSSC agents providing training and monetary funds to communist. On June 20, 1942 the Kingdom of Gradinska territory of Carașovia was annexed by the UPRZ. The Kingdom of Gradinska declared war, but quickly collapsed at the hands of communist revolutionaries. King Grzegorz Pawloski and much of his followers fled to the Republic of Gradinska to the west. The Gradinsk Communist Republic was declared. The fearing that they would be slowly picked off individually by communists forces, the Republic of Gradinska and Kingdom of St. Vilmos formed a federation, which also forcedly included the exiled Kingdom of Gradinska. The newly formed Federation of Gradinska would be able to withstand the communist attacks, but still had an extremely difficult time at organising and raising their armies. By early 1943 the communist forces had been gaining massive traction, until November of 1943 when the popular political figure Andre Marchotov was assassinated, leading to riots and the declaration of martial law. Massive military failures and domestic anarchy brought the UPRZ out of the Białemorze Conflict, leaving the Communist Republic to collapse. The Carașovia peninsula would be retained by the UPRZ in the Treaty of Carașovia.

Involvement in the Chernarussian Conflict (1968-1973)
In 1968 the semi-autonomous region of Chernarus declared itself independent from the Confederacy of Poja. This move was of great interest to the UPRZ as it allowed for an opportunity to create a communist satellite state within the region under the guise of supporting independence. Although the organised armed resistance of the Chernarussians had been crushed by late 1968 the UPRZ would soon begin funding the armed Chernarussian militia, Chernarus People's Liberation Front, or FONC. The Liberation Front had explicitly expressed its need for support from the UPRZ and its ultimate goals of cooperation. The border town of Gvozdno would become the headquarters and staging point of the FONC. On February 3, 1969 agents of the MSSC would meet with representatives of the FONC and arrange support. Around a week later multiples crates of s, s, s, s, s, s, and munitions would be delivered to various FONC camps and operation centers. A steady flow of arms and munitions would continue to be sent to FONC militia, although they would remain a relatively minor group through the conflict. Many of the weapons meant for FONC would wind up in the hands of various other Chernarussian militia.

In the later stages of the conflict a reconnaissance craft was flown along the northern border of Chernarus near the town of Gvozdno, where Pojan intelligence believed the Chernarussian rebels had set up a supply base to support matériel coming in over the border from the UPRZ. Efforts to uncover this base were largely failures until this particular flight. From the photography, the base was not only identified but It was identified in such detail that it was able to be destroyed with an airstrike just the following day. This marked a major blow to the Chernarussian insurgency and effective cut off support from the UPRZ.

Oil Boom (1968-1984)
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 were 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 UPRZ began to grow extremely dependent on its surplus of oil, investing billions of dollars in its oil production.

Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation (1994-1998)
In the late-1970s, the UPRZ's oil reserves 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 60,000 Rovsnoski-Zaporizhians. The following year, in 1994, a nonviolent demonstration in Sosnivika was met with brutality by government forces. This sparked the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation. For the duration of the conflict, the United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia retained control over Zaporizhia, whereas much of Rovsnoska was captured by Rovsnoski separatists. Due to heavy foreign aid from Lestykhol and Albaterra Rovsnoska was able to continue fighting while Zaporizhian forces began to slowly wear down. Due to heavy losses on both sides of the war and Graznavan threatening another front for the Rovsnoski to fight, the Treaty of Rozhok was signed in 1997.

Military
Before the civil war the UPRZ had around 700,000 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. The UPRZ's military was known as the Rovski-Zaporizhian Proletariat Army.

Equipment
The equipment below is what the UPRZ had as of before the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation.

By 1940 the UPRZ Navy consisted of:
 * 3 cruisers
 * 35 destroyers
