Ukraine

 * Government: Ukraine is a semi-presidential representative democratic republic. The President is elected by popular vote for a five-year term and is the formal head if the state. Ukraine's legislative branch also includes 450-seat unicameral parliament, the Verkhovna Rada. Ukraine is a secular state without a state religion. After the Revolution of Dignity, a new political course has been chosen, but, unfortunately, Ukraine is at its lowest levels of free press and corruption perception and there are many problems to be solved.
 * President: Yulia Tymoshenko (2019-now), leader of a populist liberal-conservative political party "Батьківщина".
 * Parliament: The parliament of Ukraine is unicameral and consists of 450 seats. The political structure of the parliament:
 * The government (202 seats):
 * "Батьківщина" (populism, liberal-conservatism; 123 seats)
 * "Народний Фронт" (populism, Ukrainian nationalism; 79 seats)
 * The opposition (248 seats):
 * "Солідарність" (populism, Christian democracy; 58 seats)
 * "Радикальна Партія" (populism, social-democracy, radical Ukrainian nationalism; 37 seats)
 * "За Життя" (social-democracy/social-liberalism; 32 seats)
 * "Опозиційний Блок" (social-liberalism, Russophilia ; 31 seats)
 * "Громадянська Позиція" (liberal-democratic; 29 seats)
 * The rest (61 seats)
 * Government events:
 * Lustrations: As our president has promised, the lustration processes have been started. Unfortunately, they are carried out way too slower than expected.
 * The rise of the new movements: Last year, after the Revolution of Dignity, the new movements like neo-nazism, libertarianism and communism are at their peak. Last parliamentary elections have just proved it: the biggest neo-nazi political party "Білий Фронт" and libertarian one "5.10" have got over 5%, the communist one "Народна партія робітників" has got a bit more than 3%.
 * Economy: Economic policy of Ukraine is quite centristic and can be described as a right social-liberalism (right centrism). Unfortunately, Ukraine is one of the poorest countries in Europe: it has the lowest GDP per capita (~3000 USD), one of the highest Gini coefficients and has pretty low HDI. The economy on the West, the stable region, is very agrarian and doesn't have well-developed industry. The GDP growth rate in 2018 was ~2,8%, the unemployment one was 9,8% (some economists say it is over 12%) and the inflation level is almost 20%.
 * Economic reforms: New economic reforms have been started being carried out by the government. Unfortunately, the reforms are provided as reluctantly as lustrations.
 * Military: Currently, Ukraine is at war with the DPR and LPR and the possible military conflict with Russia made our nation very patriotic and militaristic. Unfortunately, bad economic situation and world economic crisis can't let us have big enough army. The total budget is 2,7 billion USD (~2,9% of the GDP). Even though there are big numbers of the equipment, all of them are very old and were used in Soviet era, so our main priority is modernisation.
 * Ground Forces: 1 year-long conscription is mandatory for male adults, but it will be abolished and replaced with the volunteer one next year.
 * Active personnel: 190.000 troops
 * Reserve personnel: 1000.000 troops
 * Tanks: ~2000
 * Infantry fighting vessels: ~1400
 * Armoured Personnel Carriers: ~9000
 * Artilleries: ~3000
 * Anti-aircraft: ~2000
 * Engineering vessels: ~400
 * Cargo vehicles: ~3000
 * Helicopters: ~300
 * Airforce: Unfortunately, our aircraft forces are very weak and small compared to the strongest neighbours.
 * Helicopters: ~20
 * Combat Aircraft: ~60
 * Transport aircraft: ~40
 * UAV: ~70
 * Navy: Due to the huge loss of Crimea, our navy experiences a dark age.
 * Warships: 2
 * Fast attack craft: 12
 * Special purpose: 6
 * Auxilary fleet: 16
 * Foreign policy: Our foreign policy is Euro-Atlantic and pretty much Russophobic.
 * USA: We agree
 * Russia, Poland, Belarus, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Moldova: We would love to sign with you a non-aggression pact.
 * Military Operations:
 * Donbas War: Currently, the war on the East is at a stalemate, but during last few months we managed to get some advances and get closer to Luhans'k and Mariupol'.
