The Rogue State of Chernya
(http://euromaidanpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/isis.jpg)
The Rogue State of Chernya is a wasteland. After it was used for nuclear tests (which are now unknown if they are happening or not) in the 50s, around 60% of the land mass was rendered into a wasteland. The land was disregarded by the Artyin Government and left behind. In the mid 80s, a group of defectors left and found a safe place in the wastes, also known as the Zone. They then began to provide defectors with a place to stay. Eventually, they began to believe that Artyomov was a threat and they needed to be eliminated (Which is false Artyomov the best place on earth). Some defectors found a large cache of weapons and ammunition, as well as vehicles. After an attack on the Ural Museum in Shapka in the early 90s, they declared a war on Artyomov. Since then, there have been 2 large scale wars, the first resulting in an absolute flogging from the Artyomov side, the second still ongoing
