Fort-Shevchenko, capital of Mangystau, a state in the Caspian Sea, in the former Kazakh SSR. It´s formed by Fort-Shevchenko and nearby coastal villages. The nation was created by the remains of the Soviet Caspian Flotilla following Doomsday and the collapse of Soviet control in the area.
In the following years efforts were mainly made to establish a reliable food and energy sources, with many of the smaller patrol boats and minesweepers being converted in fishing boats. However, despite initial success, expansion was slow and only really applied to the coast, as it was clear the fledgling state could not afford any major inland expeditions at the time due to manpower and supplier shortages. Despite this through attempts were still made to contact any remains of the USSR (through little success) and the state still continued on claiming it was part of the USSR.
