AH Challenge: United Empire of Canada and the Ukraine

This is for a bit of a TL I plan to write in the future. How could we get a UECU?

The Empire must be a Superpower, as a parraell to OTL US in global dominance.
 
1. [any of the 'plausible' scenarios where Rome takes over most of the world]
2. Rome begins collapsing catastrophically in the 1800s
3. Canada and Ukraine are, at this time, the only two regions of the world that adhere to a strict branch of a certain religion
4. After establishing themselves in their own right as states in the 19th century, a plebiscite in 1920s Ukraine votes to merge as part of an Empire with Canada
5. Theocratic, post-Roman, Canadian (though full of Roman settlers' descendants)-Ukrainian (full of descendants of Slav-Roman children) Empire declared under Augustus Canadus.

I can't see any fault in the above logic.
 
Word 'Ukraine', and Ukrainian (Cossack-Ruthenian) identity developed in 16th-17th centuries, and Canada emerged even later, so it is ASB in my opinion. ;)
 
Okay, in practice the essential problem is as to why Ukraine and Canada are suddenly connected. I suppose you'd have to postulate a much earlier Ukrainian independence in one way or another. I'm pretty sure the Ukrainian power would have to get to Canada before France/Britain and manage to inundate the territory with settlers. So all I can say is that the POD had better be before the discovery of America. And yeah, it probably wouldn't be called Ukraine or Canada.
 
More Urkainian immigration to Canada (there was a lot IOTL). US goes with the CP in the Great War, and annexes most of Canada. The rump Canada, with a population mainly of Ukrainian descent votes to join the German Puppet of Ukraine. De facto however Canada is controlled by the US but de jure is part of Ukraine.

World War 3 erupts and the Soviet Union is entirely obliterated devoid of life. Hundreds of years pass in perfect harmony around the world, and Canadians begin pouring into Ukraine as colonists. The World collapses into anarchy and only Canada remains, annexing the Ukraine.

OR... The Crusades are a resounding success for the western powers. The Byzantine Empire recovers and expands eastward. The Byzantines defeat the Horde and occupy the Crimean. A few centuries later the British colonize "Canada". A war develops in the Crimean and British raise colonial forces to assist (yes I know its rather ludicrous). Amoung these are Iroquois. They conquer the Crimean and instead of going home, settle and name their village Kanata. The British begin sending colonists there and eventually the name changes to Canada.

To the North the Kingdom of the Ukraine grows in power and the small United Empire of Canada (The Crimean and areas similar to the Bosporan Kingdom) is forced to submit to annexation.

BOOOM!!
