History
The Baelkan Nations are large nations comprised within a union of which have different ethnicities of Baelkens, as the nation would unite on June 6th, 1640 in the old age. They once were a warring nation, often ending up in several civil wars against in Ethnicity Wars and conflicts, mainly between the Hyriso and Atiru Baelken Ethicities. They all united into an Empire under Lord Kotiri of whom would unite the ethnicities fighting for the the belief of, "Byriai hstiori brotihiena abar unitolai" or basically "Unity and Brotherhood of All", of which he would work to unite the entire continent. Upon later years and new people taking control over the years, until reaching 1865, there was a revolution of which begun to form a central government of all nations, forming the Pseudo-Federation, of which up until the First Continental War, Baelka would participate as it spread it's influence to few nations and continents, such as the Empire of Light and protect them, in the cost at 1928, the nation suffered a harsh depression of which worsened the conditions of Baelka, of which the nation would up until 1975 be slowly recovering as the new leader, Koko Hystiri took power and begun to jumpstart the economy, selling many weapons, equipment, & resources to other nations to assist in it's export power. Upon this on January 5th, 1978, the Baelken Federations enacts the Neutrality Act, of which the nation would not get involved with foreign politics and factions....currently during the end of 1979, the nation had nearly repaired all the harsh damage to their economy and became an industrial powerhouse of which is thanks to their natural resources, in 1981 the nation would then become the short lived Union of Soviet Socialist Baelkan Republics and for the next few years would see itself as a Superpower....

The Baelkan Civil War
After the war in the Serlain Nation has ended (Second Continental War), the feared and one of the last nations of the old world, the Union of Soviet Socialist Baelken Republics would collapsed into a large-scale Civil War. As numerous successor states fight out control for the nation's continent as Ethnic Tensions fire off as reports of Ethnic Genocide has been reported after our journalists and news cast go onto site to see the battlefield, one of the largest cities, Kiskingrad, the capital of the former Union is a City at War as Baelken Forces fight against the Crotiriaks as the city is a battlefield from street to street....the Union has been broken and this seems to be the end of the Baelken Domination across the world as news that Styria was responsible for the war is said to be the culprit, news however isn't well known on their true involvement as the situation of the former USSBR location grows grimmer and bloodier, this war seems to not be in any mood to end soon, of which the large population of the nation may greatly dwindle.

The Civil War in the former Soviet Union rages on as a report of more than 50 Million People have died during the months of the war. Genocides and Ethnic Cleansing being common in the former Union, little to no nations are intervening in such atrocities against humanity as many Baelken citizens flee to find better life in foreign nations, though reportedly many being killed by former Baelken Ships in cross fire and reported discrimination and hatred to such Baelken Communities in foreign nations, often the common innocent Baelken reported to be attacked and harassed by foreigners from other countries.

With numerous months and a year of warfare, the Baelken Nations have finally come to terms of peace and concludes the terror that befalled the nation and it's continent. With the many ruthless genocides and crimes against Humanity, war criminals were being rounded up and trialed against the state and humanity as the nations begin to recover, due to their war however, many of the Baelkan former Industry was completely destroyed and are undergoing major repairs, this leaves the nations very vulnerable to enemy attacks however, due to this they were able to come to terms of peace as some citizens decided to return back to the nations.

Recent Development
As of 14th of Feburary, 1985, a major development has occurred in the northern Baelkan States, the man who has ended the Baelkan Civil War, Vladimir Makarov, has united the Northern Nations of Baelka, Crotira, and Hyria under one flag, the Baelkan State, of which the party would hold total power as a Ultranationalist Party, of which has begun demanding the union of ALL Baelkan States, of which both Serbrius and Shyria declined and Chechnya, being annexed by Serbrius, had no choice. Of which the United Army of Baelka, would begin massive undeclared invasions into the nations of Serbrius and Shyria, as the Second Baelkan War starts yet again. And with this the nation begins to call to all it's former colonies and refugees across the world, alerting them all that they have returned and are willing to reopen relations to all their former allies and territory, as they establish the new United Confederation Alliance across the world to it's former colonies and allies open to help all nations as The Baelkan State forces the collapse of the last Communist Union in Baelka, the nation of Serbrius and annex both Chechnya and Serbrius into the State, and focus all their efforts into Shyria. After a few weeks of warfare, the Baelkan State would annex it's former land and reunite the nation again under Ultranationalism.

As of 25th of Feburary, 1988, the nation would see development and a change in leadership as the Elections of 1988 have concluded with the new leader, Vladimir Putin taking charge of the Baelkan State and changing it's name to the Baelkan Federation and is currently on the path to restore the glory of the Baelkan Federation and strengthening the CSTO alliance and continue to drive to be the firm Global Power it once was.

During the time dismantling of the CSTO in 1989, the Baelkan Federation had dissolved into it's 7 Republics as the nation now sees no hope in reuniting.

Government
The nation is heavily based on Authoritarianism and very little of the nations within it go by Democratic ideals, as the current form of the Baelkan Nations is a Reactionary Democracy, exactly similar to the one of the Russian Federation in current times.
