History
The Kingdom of Volhynia was formed during the Wars of Independence in 2022 where many countries was denied independence from Russia.

Volhynia was first formed as Galicia-Volhynia in Kievan Rus' under Roman the Great. It was dissolved and incorporated into the Tsardom of Russia a while after. After the partitions of Poland-Lithuania, the area now was under Austrian Control which promised autonomy but Volhynia was only granted a little bit of autonomy. During WW1 Volhynia was formed as a vassal of the German Empire, which Volhynia was greatful for. Once WW1 was over Volhynia was incorporated into the Greater Polish Republic, this was a plus for them as they both have similar culture and history.

WW2 and Nazi Germany had divided Poland along with the Soviets, many were killed in a massacre known as the Lviv massacre which sparked rebellion amongst the Polish and Volhynians. This all ended when the rebellions were crushed by the occupying Soviet Forces which established the Polish People's Republic (PPR) and the Volhynian Federative Socialist Republic (VFSR). Poland and Volhynia were both Satelite states until the Fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 where it was merged with Ukraine instead of Poland. This continued until 2016 where the Russians invaded the Baltic States, Belarus and Ukraine in a last ditch to restore the Russian Empire. This attempt was successful until 2022 when 5 republics (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Volhynia and Pyzantion/Ukraine) with the support of the Republic of Caucasia fought against Russia which they surrendered.

In 2037, when Volhynia joined the war against the Republic of Zakarthia was ceded eastern Poland while the Germans was ceded Poznan, Danzig and East Prussia. This would be the end of the Kingdom of Volhynia for the establishment of the Kingdom of Poland-Volhynia in a Personal Union with Poland
