Declaring it's independence on September 25th, 2006, Ukraynia is a Ukrainian nation built upon the Western European ideals of democracy that came from the nation of Escasnia who liberated it from the Northern Caliphate, an Islamic nation imposed upon the Ukrainian people by a despot. The region was previously well known as the nationalistic Right-Bank Ukraine which recieved independence from the nation of TreLanka. The same kind of nationalism spawned Ukraynia, deemed the successor state of Right Bank Ukraine and the Ukrainian homeland. The name Ukraynia comes from the botched translation of Escasnian diplomats when they allowed the nation to be created. All official documentation continues to say Ukraynia to this day due to the error, however most will consider the nation as, Ukrayina or Ukraine.
