-====== The Crimea ======
-===== Overview =====
-A peninsula jutting out into the Black Sea, this was part of the Roman and Byzantine Empires.  During the Mediaeval Period, the Governor of the region was usually a Khazar under Roman control who was appointed as //Tudun// of the area rather than as a //Strategos//. Later on, it was in this region that Peter the Great embarked upon his quest for Russia to engage in Imperial Expansion and gain ports in the area, and saw the genesis of the Russian Navy.
-Today, the naval base at Sevastopol is disputed with the lease to the Russians of it due to run out in 2017.  The Ukrainians want the Russian Fleet out, but the local population, being predominantly of Russian ethnic stock understandably want it to stay, otherwise they'll have no-one to sell vodka and Russian //matryoshka// dolls to.
