Entry 1:
Zeleny Klyn, officially the Ukrainian Democratic Amur Republic (UDAR)
The UDAR's independence from the Far Eastern Republic is sometimes known as the Charoite Divorce, a reference to the bloodless Charoite Revolution of 1966, which had led to the end of Chita's rule over Zeleny Klyn.

Entry 2:
Zakytaishchyna Provisional Administrative Region
匝克伊泰使契丹临时行政区
Possessing the characteristics of an autonomous region and a Special Administrative Region, Zakytaishchyna, or Transcathay, was formed as a Chinese-backed buffer state in the chaos of the Second Russian Civil War. While officially recognized as part of the new Russian Federation, the territory had been under Chinese occupation since 1992, officially designated as a Provisional Administrative Region in 1998 as a formal consolidation of warlord states and local administrations by Beijing. Composed of the former provinces of Primorsky Krai, Amur Oblast, southern Khabarovsk Krai and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Transcathay theoretically possesses wide-ranging autonomy, ostensibly as a temporary measure until its eventual reintegration with Russia. In practice, all representatives of the new Transcathay Rada are vetted by Beijing for potential anti-Chinese sentiment, with Russian unionists disproportionately barred from local elections.
One unusual effect of such measures is the ascendance of the 'Green Ukraine' party. While starting out as an autonomist fringe movement among the Ukrainian diaspora in the occupied zone, Green Ukraine quickly established itself as the dominant party in Transcathay, melding Russian imperial ideology with the romanticism of the Kievan Rus. Believing Russian culture to be tainted by so-called 'Muscovite deficiencies', the party advocated for the promotion of Ukrainian language and culture. While overtly supportive of protecting Russian language rights and culture, the Green Ukraine-dominated Rada soon initiated widespread reforms aimed at their replacement, with growing emphasis on Ukrainian-medium education, culture and history. Even the choice of flag design, a sunflower motif akin to the SAR flags of Hong Kong and Macau, are indicative of Green Ukraine's far-reaching ambitions. And while Beijing remain outwardly supportive of the government for its promotion of Chinese investments, indecision on its rapprochement with Moscow and Transcathay's radical policies has put the state's future in doubt.
