As of this Day, April 20, 2000 ad, The Grand Ruthenian Republic of Chernigov has announced that the Regions known as "Kuban" and "Don", have been annexed into the nation. So far, the annexation has been met with little violence, and the Regions will now be known as the "Kubani Autonomous Oblast" and the "Don Autonomous Oblast". http://i.imgur.com/Z98T2e1.png Dark blue: Chernigov before the Annexation Light blue: Chernigov after the Annexation

South Korea is Best Korea...

Too bad North Korea is already owned.

Do you want me to add arabia to the rp map? Also, for the large area he has, I am surprised that he has such a small amount of soldiers.

Okay, done. http://i.imgur.com/pId6G1R.png Bear in mind that the map can not be on the other one due to a possibility of overlapping claims on said map.

Only if it is on a blank map, but I can oblige. Sadly, we will be sharing a border...

A moderate King, I consider him a possible friend.

Arabic/Cryllic?

Nah

Cyber Capitalist?

A communist state that hates all capitalist nations with a passion.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how hostile are they to neighboring nations?

Wait, you said they would not be beheaded as it is the "most merciful" way of execution...

Chernigov: Conservative

Chernigov has opened its borders to caucasian and persian refugees, due to the nations close proximity with Arabia.

Greetings, everyone, this is Ivan Sewick of the Chernigov Eagle, bringing you the most un-biased news in all of Chernigov. In today's televised broadcast, we will be covering the state funeral of John Thornton, First Prime Minister of Chernigov. Okay, we are going to one of our reporters in the field now. Thank you, Ivan, for giving some of the information, as you can see in the background, Former Prime Minister John Thornton's Coffin is being loaded onto the hearse, where he will be transported to the Chernigov National Cemetery, where many of our nation's heroes are buried. The Funeral will begin in 10 minutes as the vehicle arrives at the cemetery where the crowds are already massing, many of whom are family members and members of the Government, such as Prime Minister Alexei Lysenko, Deputy Prime Minister Nikita Kovalenko, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ruslan Shvets, and Secretary of State Mykhail Polishchuk. Back to you Ivan. Thank you sir, any minute now, the Hearse will arrive and the funeral will begin. As you heard from the reporter, many important members of the government will be at the funeral, so we will try to get an interview with many of them, but if they decline, we will not bother them. As for the former prime minister's family, we will not bother them at all, as this is a hard time for them. Back to you, Pavlo. Thank you once again Ivan, at the moment the hearse has finally arrived at the cemetery, where the Funeral will take place. As you can see, a large crowd has formed for the funeral, some from Chernigov, others from neighboring nations. Prime Minister Lysenko and his family are among the crowd, alongside diplomats from several member states of the Cornerstone Alliance, and other members of the government. Okay, the coffin is now being brought to the grave site. [instrumental version of the Chernigovan Anthem plays while the crowd sings the lyrics] I shall always recognize you by the peace that you bring as Orbis with searching vision you survey with spirit bold. From the Chernigovans of Old who died brought to life with peace and strength now with ancient valour rising let us hail you, oh Chernigov! now with ancient valour rising let us hail you, oh Chernigov! now with ancient valour rising let us hail you, oh Chernigov! [anthem ends] Well, that was an inspiring moment for the nation, was it not, Ivan? Yes, indeed it was Pavlo. Now that that is over, the crowd will be singing several hymns, as per usual in Chernigov. First up is "Nearer, My God to thee...". [singing Begins] Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me; Still all my song shall be nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! There let the way appear steps unto heav'n; Darkness be over me, my rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God, to Thee!. All that Thou sendest me in mercy giv'n; Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee! Then with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee! Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upwards I fly, Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee! There in my Father’s home, safe and at rest, There in my Savior’s love, perfectly blest; Age after age to be, nearer my God to Thee! [singing Ends] What a wonderful song that was, wouldn't you agree, Pavlo? Yes sir, it was indeed. Lets see here, what is next. Ah, that is right, next is "Rock of Ages". [singing Begins] Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. Not the labour of my hands Can fulfill Thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Saviour, or I die! While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgement throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee. [singing Ends] Okay, that was all of the songs that will be sung at the funeral, now we go on to the actual burial itself if I am correct. The Coffin is right now being lowered into the grave. Finally, we have the traditional Seven Gun salute, used specifically for a prime minister, hero in the military, or member of the Chernigovan Parliament. This concludes this broadcast from the Chernigov Eagle. Sorry if it was shorter than usual articles, but we had to stay quiet due to the funeral.

The Chernigov Eagle Hello again, This is Ivan Sewick, bringing you the Truth in this world filled with lies, corruption, assassinations, and other horrible things. Good news is that today is the first Televised edition of the Chernigov Eagle. In today's news, Vladimir Zhogin of Khevin and Former Prime Minister John Thornton assassinated, At 8:00 am, Former Prime Minister John Thornton was found dead in his mansion, shot dead with a 0.44 mm round. The time of the assassination was believed to be around 6:58 am that day. We have yet to figure out who killed him, but we believe he was killed by a member of the Fascist group "New Dawn". At this time, government agents are raiding buildings owned by this group in order to find the man who killed the Former Prime Minister in order to interrogate him. We hope that he will be apprehended soon, but this could go on for weeks if not months. If you know the man, make sure to report him to the Chernigovan Government Immediately. We are trying to get a DNA analysis on the bullet as soon as possible. The Former Prime Minister's Funeral will be held tomorrow. (IRL) [shortened Version of The Chernigovan Anthem Plays] I shall always recognize you by the peace that you bring as Orbis with searching vision you survey with spirit bold as the Chernigovans of Old who died brought to life with peace and strength we praise our Lord and Savior, God let us hail you, oh Chernigov. [Anthem Ends] At the same time, President Vladimir Zhogin of Khevin was reported to have been assassinated. We mourn with our Brothers and Sisters in Khevin over the loss of this great man. The Government of Khevin has reported that a militant group known as "SARF" has claimed responsibility for the assassination. We here at the Chernigov Eagle condemn this act made by the group.

I must wonder what this "SARF" group is...

He is actually a member of Aargh.

Yes, I would like to have a description.
