The Republic of Pirtuni lies in eastern Europe along the north shore of the Black Sea. Pirtuni is a representative republic with a history of corruption and sovereignty issues that remain from its prior membership in the United Federation of Socialist Republics. It is simultaneously antagonistic toward, and intrinsically linked with Donovia, who claims portions of eastern Pirtuni as its own. Pirtuni’s western-leaning, majority population seeks to formalize its status as a democratic, European nation through NATO and EU membership. But eastern-leaning minority populations block the path of democratic reforms in favor of alliance with Donovia and threaten stability in the eastern Europe.
