Slavic Confederation

WIP

Slavia(/ˈslævɪæ/( listen ), officially the Slavic Confederation is a country located in central-eastern Europe formed after the agreement of 10 countries (Poland, Russia, Croatia Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, Belarus, Czech Republic and Lithuania) to form a confederation to improve their relations and economy. Slavia forms part, since 1999, of the EU and since 2003, of NATO. It is part of the Schengen zone but not of the Eurozone because Slavia uses the Slavic Krone.

History
1994 was the year that the Slavic Confederation was formed. At the moment, the countries that formed the confederation were Poland, Czech Republic and Belarus. More countries asked to join the confederation including countries non-slav countries.

Ukrexit
Ukraine joined the confederation in 2003, becoming a key member of it. In 2008, a global economic crisis made Slavia loose a huge quantity of money. The government was trying to reduce this economic crisis by increasing taxes and lowering the budgets of health, education, sports, police and military. This resulted in a revolt that made the regional governments go against the central one. The most affected region was Ukraine, with a GDP growth of -6,4% annually. The Ukranians made a huge revolt, known as the Revolt of the Dnieper, where around a million Ukranians threw Slavic flags to the Dnieper River in Kiev. The NARASC (National Anti-Riot Agency of the Slavic Confederation) had to intervene and the Ministry of the Environment carried out a plan in search of the flags that people threw into the Dnieper River by placing nets 60 km in all along the tributary rivers and at the mouth of the Dnieper River to avoid an environmental disaster. The Ukranian government asked the central government in Warsaw for a referendum. Warsaw accepted and in 2013 the referendum was hold with these results:

-SHOULD UKRAINE LEAVE SLAVIA?

-YES 87%

-NO 4%

-ABSTAIN 9%

Ukraine left in 2014 resulting in the exclusion of Ukraine of the EU and NATO. However, the government decided to keep the currency until their economy was stable. To this day, Ukraine and Slavia have really good relations even after the revolts.
