The United States of North Caucasus
2008 - today


Quick background (wip) :

In 2008, right after the Russo-Georgian war, Abkhazia and South Osseita officially declared their independence from Georgia. At the same time, both made an alliance, called the "Caucasian Union". Weakened by this war, Georgia didn't oppose to the independence of these territories. But the separatist movement caught on like a wildfire in the region.

North Ossetia, in turn, declares its independence with the aim of joining South Ossetia. Chechnya seceded from Russia in the same will of joining the union of caucasian minorities. Russia did not use military force, because both territories were making an alliance with Abkhazia and South Ossetia, therefore there was a tie between opposing or being in truce.

Like a snowball effect, Ingushetia and Dagestan joined. Then, Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia, followed by Adygea. These three territories were not that much separatist, but the feeling of a stronger and recognized identity, plus the ideological movement of caucasian nationalism, made them joining the union.

But, in exchange of this secession, the new federation of North Caucasus will have to only buy and sold to Russia and use its gas. Also, Adygea being enclaved, a part of the russian territory including Sochi has been ceded to the united states, in return of the north-east Dagestan which is populated by russians. There has been some population displacements, russians leaving the new country and minorities joining it.

The states of North Ossetia and South Ossetia were merged into Ossetia and Chechnya and Ingushetia into Chechen-Ingushetia. Dagestan was split into Nogay, Cuman, Avaria and South Dagestan, respecting the location of the ethnic minorities.

The country being largely influenced by the model of the United States of America and the country being strongly supported by them, english has been chosen as the lingua franca.
