&lt;br /&gt;
The '''Federation of Ruskayn''', most commonly known as '''Ruskayn''' is an [[wikipedia:Archipelagic state|archipelagic state]] located in northwestern [[Catica]] and in the [[Olympic Ocean]]. It shares maritime borders with [[United New England]], [[Quetana]], [[Rio Palito]], and [[Zamastan]]. Situated between the [[Hapson Sea]] and the [[Nalau Sea]], it is renowned for its rich history, unique tropical geography, and thriving culture. Historically, the people of Ruskayn have been known for their work as mercenaries for foreign nations, notably in the 1871-75 [[Parabocan War]] alongside [[East Chanchajilla|Chanchajillan]] forces aiding Zamastan from invading [[Paraboca]]n forces. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The economy of Ruskayn is primarily situated around their services for other nations, including ship-building, weapons manufacturing, and paid-manual works. Domestically, they utilize natural resources. Ruskayn is naturally rich in lumber, copper, various ores, as well as oil, which make up their highest exports alongside weapons, military technology, and combat vehicles. The thriving Ruskaynian economy is largely based off of their proud tradition of training Ruskaynian soldiers and then hiring them out as mercenaries to other nations. This practice, although condemned by some in the international community, has been used to great effect by nations such as [[Avergnon]] and [[Zamastan]]. The recent involvement of Ruskaynian forces in the [[2020 War in Vulkaria]] has shed some favorable light on the practice, however, and military analysts are predicting a rise in the hiring of Ruskaynian mercenary forces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, Ruskayn has had little effect on the [[International Democratic Union]] as a whole, but it has recently begun to gain attention as its economy booms and its mercenary forces are used to greater extent. Some say Ruskayn has its eyes on a position of authority in the IDU, but Ruskaynian government officials have denied this repeatedly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
The origin of the nation of Ruskayn's name is technically unknown, but popular opinion states that it originated from the combined names of the first two tribes of [[Bluelander]] clan chiefs: Rusk MacRath and Aynidh Bruin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===Pre-Discovery===&lt;br /&gt;
Traditionally, Ruskayn is believed to have once been inhabited by a people group known as the Corites. Historic record shows they warred with the [[Kespar]]i people. When the first Bluelander clans landed in what is now Ruskayn, it is believed that the Corites were either assimilated into their ranks, killed off, or driven to escape to Kespar or other nearby civilizations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bluelander Exodus===&lt;br /&gt;
The Bluelanders were a fiercely independent collection of clans of [[Cadair]] Cymry natives who fled Cadair during the Prydanian massacre of the Cymry people. Oral tradition states that the MacRath and Bruin clans lead the rest of the Bluelanders in a harrowing overseas journey to the southern landmass of [[Catica]]. It is believed that around 30 Bluelander longships set out across the Olympic Ocean, but only 14 of the ships are confirmed to have successfully reached what would become Ruskayn. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bluelander Conquest===&lt;br /&gt;
Under the leadership of the MacRaths and Bruins, Bluelanders claimed the northern island, which they named &lt;br /&gt;

The '''Federation of Ruskayn''', most commonly known as '''Ruskayn''' is an [[wikipedia:Archipelagic state|archipelagic state]] located in northwestern [[Catica]] and in the [[Olympic Ocean]]. It shares maritime borders with [[United New England]], [[Quetana]], [[Rio Palito]], and [[Zamastan]]. Situated between the [[Hapson Sea]] and the [[Nalau Sea]], it is renowned for its rich history, unique tropical geography, and thriving culture. Historically, the people of Ruskayn have been known for their work as mercenaries for foreign nations, notably in the 1871-75 [[Parabocan War]] alongside [[East Chanchajilla|Chanchajillan]] forces aiding Zamastan from invading [[Paraboca]]n forces. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The economy of Ruskayn is primarily situated around their services for other nations, including ship-building, weapons manufacturing, and paid-manual works. Domestically, they utilize natural resources. Ruskayn is naturally rich in lumber, copper, various ores, as well as oil, which make up their highest exports alongside weapons, military technology, and combat vehicles. The thriving Ruskaynian economy is largely based off of their proud tradition of training Ruskaynian soldiers and then hiring them out as mercenaries to other nations. This practice, although condemned by some in the international community, has been used to great effect by nations such as [[Avergnon]] and [[Zamastan]]. The recent involvement of Ruskaynian forces in the [[2020 War in Vulkaria]] has shed some favorable light on the practice, however, and military analysts are predicting a rise in the hiring of Ruskaynian mercenary forces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, Ruskayn has had little effect on the [[International Democratic Union]] as a whole, but it has recently begun to gain attention as its economy booms and its mercenary forces are used to greater extent. Some say Ruskayn has its eyes on a position of authority in the IDU, but Ruskaynian government officials have denied this repeatedly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
The origin of the nation of Ruskayn's name is technically unknown, but general opinion states that it originated from the combined names of the first two tribes of Bluelander clan chiefs: Rusk MacRath and Aynidh Bruin.&lt;br /&gt;
