Full name: Ataman/Hetman Union of the Sich and Regiment Councils
Type: Territorial state. Roughly a noble's republic (though with some participation by the peasantry and other commoners).
Demonym: Hetmaner, Hetmanian, Atamanian
Description: Also called “The Atamanate”, this is a
country of plucky frontiersmen with a peculiar political system that has
somehow managed to eke out an existence caught between the Empire of Ursania and the Kingdom of Ruteňa and Kingdom of Lengelia.
Throughout its entire existence, it has somehow managed to eke out a
place on Aporuean maps, despite many claiming that something like that
would be borderline impossible. The reputation of Hetmanaters among many
Lengelians and Ursans of note as “a bunch of self-appointed and
combat-skilled hicks-warriors that hardly know anything about
governance” didn't help matters. In the past, both Lengelia and Ursania
had repeatedly tried their damndest to bring the Hetmanate under their
influence, either diplomatically or by force of arms. But all of these
had faltered.
Real world frame of reference: Think of these guys as, ironically enough, equal parts cossacks from the historical Hetmanate/Zaporizhian Host and Tatars from the Crimean Khanate.
In terms of Aporue's ethnic and linguistic relations though, they are a
lot more distinct from both Lengelians and Ursans, much moreso than OTL
cossacks would be from Poles and Russians. Additionally, the
Hetmanate's martial and civilian culture borrow something of a Wild West
flavour from OTL, though with a distinctly East European makeover.
