Peremorovka

Peremorovka, also occasionally referred to as Peremorivka, officially the Hetmanate of Peremorovka (: Гетьманщина Переморівка), was a sovereign state which existed from 1236-1692 CE in Eastern Artemia, in what is now the Pivnichna and Pivdenna Peremorovka oblasts of Yarova (as well as small parts of Srednikovo, Smirnova, and Yadryshkina.) The Hetmanate was first established in 1236 CE by Hetman Arkady Skoropadsky I and was the first and only significant distinctively-Peremorovkan polity to exist after the fall of the confederation of Ljudia. In its history, the respective royal family houses of Skoropadsky (1236-1447 CE) and House of Rostyslavovych (1447-1692 CE) reigned over the Hetmanate.

The Peremorovkan language was used as the official language of the Hetmanate's administration and the Peremorovkan Ruble was the formal currency. The culture of the Peremorovkars is said to have flourished through the course of the Hetmanate's existence and a multitude of historians note the sheer volume of indigenous literature created during this era, with the state celebrated for its high literacy levels - much higher than that of the Kingdom of Kryzhelovschina and the Tsardom of Yarova. Authority of the Hetman and his government centred around the capital city of Abramivka, and jurisdiction elsewhere within its territory depended on peace pacts with other, or “free men”, who lived in semi-militaristic communities. The Cossacks were a people who played an instrumental role in the Hetmanate's period of expansionism in the sixteenth century with the conquest of the Nurmes Union in 1578 CE (most of modern-day Kironia and small parts of Gardarike.)

Owing to the patriarchal nature of its societal structure, following the demise of Hetman Yevhen Rostyslavovych II in the winter of 1691 CE, the Hetmanate was thrown into a two-month constitutional crisis - as no obvious male heir survived the late Hetman. The Hetman's daughter Svitlana, who was widowed by her first cousin, Yevhen's nephew Kostyantyn Rostyslavovych, was not regarded as a conceivable inheritor of the title. Attempts were made by a handful of Cossack communities to elect or indeed impose a new Hetman, however, the crisis was mollified in the springing of 1692 CE when Yarovan Tsar Ivan II of the allied House of Vojiskiy asked for Svitlana's hand in marriage. The marital union between the Tsar and the last Hetman's only living descendant paved the way for the Hetmanate of Peremorovka to enter a personal union with the Yarovan Empire (Vojisky Empire). The personal union of the Peremorovkan Hetmanate and the Yarovan Empire was the only territorial acquirement in the Empire's history which did not include any major conflict.
