Komi Republicball

Komi Republicball is a country in Northeast Europe, founded after the fragmentation of the Greater Russiaball alongside Mongol-Siberiaball. With the Russians unable to conquer most of their lost territory, they conceded, and allowed a bunch of countries like the Komi Republic to break off. Due to the mostly anti-Russian sentiment in the Republic, they ditched the Cyrillic alphabet in favour of a Latin one. They use the Krol (KKL, symbol: ♢) as their currency, with £1 equivalent to 42.95 krols.

Now that they have developed the technology to be classified as a middle power in Europe, they have their sights set on colonising a few territories, such as annexing Svalbard.

2010 civil unrest
After news had leaked out that the Komi parliament had supported Finland in the Finnish-Latvian war and lost, costing nearly hundreds of millions of krols, riots and protests broke out in the capital Syktyvkar on 20th July, as well as smaller-scale riots that happened some 5 days ago in the mostly Russian-dominated cities of Pechora and Vorkuta. Some Komi people had even turned to a monarchist group "Komi Koroluv" (literally meaning "Komi Kingdom") as they promised order, stability and international isolation so they could focus on improving their country. With the dire situation, the president Mikhail Veche resigned, and the parliament has promised a snap election by 2011.

The 2011 election came and went with the ruling "Komi Republicans" losing a majority in Parliament as pro-loyalist and isolationist parties took the majority. The Communist Party of the Komi (KKP) won only a tiny minority at 9%, ironically despite the name most supporters were Russian or pro-Russian. A tiny separatist party, but mostly advocating for autonomy, has seen a huge wave of support in Svalbard especially among the Norwegian people.
