Ayo calling all history nerds and ex-countryhumans fandom kids!
I had an assignment in history last year that recently inspired me to imagine a world where instead of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics collapsing relatively peacefully, theres a civil war instead wherein the republics of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova break away, and form a coalition with Romania and Poland called the Free State Brotherhood under the Kyïv Accord. They ultimately are surrounded by the eastern bloc under the Volgograd Pact as the Russia (still ran by the Soviets) takes over the surrounding governments with Serbia and establish puppet governments in the surrounding countries. Though in reality the Volgograd States and the states of New Yugoslavia function essentially as provinces directly under Moskow and Budapest respectively. The only truly Neutral nation not aligned with any of the factions is Georgia, who fiercely defend their territory but are weakened after the loss of Abkhazia and South Ossetia to Russian Occupation. Ultimately the borders roughly settle along the lines seen in the map, with notable exceptions in and around any region in red. While the new cold war wages on the west tries to subtly support the Free State Brotherhood, and there’s also drama between the Countryhumans who represent them 👀
Heres the tea
Ukraine is trying to escape a physically/sexually abusive relationship with Russia when the USSR collapses, and he finds solace in Romania and Moldova who are lovers reunited by their freedom, the situation is complicated because Romania falls for Ukraine first and Ukraine falls too, but tries to distance himself from Romania bc he already has Moldova in Ukraines eyes, Moldova also gets jealous, but eventually the 3 of them fall in love together and end up a Polycule
Ukraine is frequently haunted by ptsd and can be cold at times, Romania is Romani and tries his best to be a caretaker for his lovers, Moldova is bubbly and relaxed. They also all smoke weed, why? Because i say so.
Ukraine and Moldova also have moments where they will loose control and turn red, becoming violent and self destructive, this is because they both have Russian Occupation, because Russia has partial control over their territory it causes them to occasionally lose themselves to his influence
If anyone wants to write a fanfic of these 3 id love that tbh idk just ideas
