History

Personality

Chuvashia is a friendly character who isn't as direct as his close friend of Tatarstan, but does still take more direct action than say, Udmurtia. He doesn't particularly like to hate people, as demonstrated during the Great Ural War when he said he didn't hate Idel-Ural or Tatarstan. His lack of hatred for Idel-Ural compared to the other Uralic states probably stems partially from the fact that they both lost their homelands, leading to Chuvashia being sympathetic for him.

History

Independence and Early days

Following the collapse of the Russian Federation, the Fascists took over in the Chuvash homelands. The Chuvash people fled over the Volga river and into former territory of Tatarstan, including his old capital of Kazan. This immediately sparked an argument as Tatarstan, who had already lost a third of his country and most of his population to the nuclear bombs dropped during World War 2.5. Chuvashia explained that he didn't want to be a rival of Tatarstan but that he simply didn't control anything else since the Union of Russia had control of his rightful lands. They were able to strike an agreement in which Tatarstan would receive his old lands back once Chuvashia got back his homelands. Shortly afterwards, the Union of Russia and Idel-Ural declared war on all of the Uralic states at once as well as the Republic of Russia, however other than the UR and Idel-Ural making slight pushes against Kirov and the Ural Republic and Tatarstan making small pushes in the south, the frontline barely moved. The UR made some pushes after the Republic of Russia invaded the Ural Republic, but most of these were reversed and the only major border change was Idel getting borderlands against Kirov. Afterwards, the war was effectively over. During the war, the Ural Republic, Kirov, Chuvashia, Udmurtia, and Bashkortostan created the Federal Union of the Urals as a decentralized trade-focused alliance. Although Chuvashia wanted a more centralized defensive alliance even wanting eventual unification between the states, most of the other states considered the idea crazy and it became a trade alliance. As a result, when the Ural Republic and later Bashkortostan were invaded, they got no support at all from the alliance- while initially Bashkortostan was also at war with the RR when he invaded the Ural Republic, he made peace later on.
