"God guide our Emperor Maintain his glory
Guard well his name and his honour
May all fortunes shine On him forever
God save the Sovereign God save our Tsar!"
-Excerpt from the anthem of the Great Ruthenian Empire anthem “God save our Sovereign”-
Overview
A confederation of Eastern Europan kingdoms and duchies ruled by the Tsars of House Romanov; It is a huge, powerful Europan superpower with unmatched industrial and population potentials, out-matching those of Federation, Gallian and Polanian counterparts.

The rich culture of the Rus' has a long history with their origins that can be traced back to the Kievan and Muscovite Rus' in medieval times. Its people are known for their conservative views including racial discrimination against the Darscen minority of the Empire, which was further intensifies during the late 19th century.

While the rest of Europa becoming more emancipated towards the Darscens, in the Tsardom, the policies toward the Darscens becoming even more draconian and repressive as the ruling elites actively encouraging the people to organize Pogroms against the Darscens, forcibly exiled them to far-flung impoverished regions of the Empire, or worse, being sentenced to forced labor camps to provide labour and materials for the Rus’ war efforts.

The end of the First Great War has brought what once a great cultural and industrial power of the continent into desperation, its people are tired, grown weary as famines and internal unrest plagued the country while the absolute power of the ruling Tsar Nikolai II slowly weakens.

The capital of the Ruthenian Tsardom is Petrograd, lies on the coast of the shallow brakish inland Baltic Sea.

Military
Ruthenian military doctrine tends to revolve around armor protections and large caliber weapons, favouring close-quarter combat doctrines. Their tanks and mechs had modular but rugged designs to allow mass production, built to last and outnumbered their adversaries with superior numerical advantages.

Possessing strong armor protection and powerful short-ranged cannons, the Ruthenian heavy mechs mobility are surprisingly fast for their sizes, enabling them to quickly close the distance and unleashing destruction on the enemy. However they generally had poor internal ergonomics with limited visibility, resulting in very low long range gunnery accuracy and short effective firing range than those of Saxon, Polanians and Federation models.

Ruthenian mechs were designed for offensive doctrines, ditching long range weapons in favor of close-quarter combat and melee as well as crowd-control weapons designed for surpressing infantry and static defenses.

Landmarks
Petrograd: The Capital of the Tsardom, lies in the coast of the inland Baltic Sea.
Kronshtadt: An important port city that also served as the main naval base for the Tsardom’s Navy’s Baltic Fleet.
Moskva: Former Capital of the Tsardom, the city is historically significant for being the first capital of the Ruthenians since the era of the Grand Duchy of Muscovites.
Vladivostok: A city of the Tsardom located outside of Europa in the Far East. It is considered to be the Ruthenian most important stronghold in the Asiatic region.
Fort Aleksander: A naval fortress on an artificial island in the Baltic Sea, it served as a vital defense for the waterway between Petrograd and Kronshtadt.
Baltic Sea: A large enclosed expanse of brackish water off the Tsardom’s Northeast coast that froze during severe winter season, it also bordered by the coasts of Polanian Republic, Saxonian Empire and Nordic Kingdoms.

Updated the Tsardom flag, now with Belarussian chase knight and Ukrainian trident and Slavic Kolovrat
