Ruskaya, also referred to as the Kingdom of Ruskaya, is a sovereign planet in the Arae system. Her neighboring planet is Sewell.
History[]
The planet of Ruskaya was chartered by people from the UCR areas and UEG, an uneasy coexistence made possible by the colony founder and later King Artois. The planet grew steadily with an influx of refugees from Cineris and the colony of Fiore. It has always had a difficult relationship with the neighboring planet Sewell due to both claiming each others planet for their resources and differing ideologies. Occasional boarder skirmishes have taken place although they rarely led to anything more than rebuke. In February 2582 tensions between the two planets flared due to an assassination attempt on the King which has left him incapable and near death since. His daughter Zara Artois assumed his role in the months since and accusations between the two governments have gone unresolved.
Government[]
Ruskaya is a constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament. The powers of the monarch are usually limited.
Military[]
Ruskaya is protected by the Ruskayan Armed Forces comprised of a Navy and the Army. Their equipment is a mix of licensed UCR and UEG military equipment such as the FV-M61 MBT and VF-11Z. Their navy is comprised of older UNSC frigates, destroyers and obsolete carriers.
Economy[]
30% of Ruskaya's economy is exporting its natural resources to other countries, followed by professional services. Tourism attributed to the planet primarily exists around the extensive mountain resorts.
