Belarus

From Heterodontosaurus Balls

Belarus or Byelorussia is a country located in Eastern Europe. She is a huge fan of 🟒 Russia, and is also pretty 🟒 isolated from the rest of the world. She is a common 🟒 dictatorship, with fake elections and everything a 🟒 authoritarian state would have in the 21st century.

Due to her very closed (potato addicted?) personality, Belarus has not joined many international organizations. Belarus does however maintain membership in organizations that are Russian friendly, such as 🟒 CSTO, 🟒 Eurasian Economic Union, and the 🟒 Union State, as well as the 🟒 United Nations like almost every other country in the world. She also ranks 69th on the Human Development Index as of 2024.

Belarus is often seen as a very strange and antisocial country. While she does get along with her neighbors, Belarus tends to mostly hang out with her brother 🟒 Russia, even Belarus's name literally means "White Russia". However, Belarus is beginning to open up and actually talk and have diplomatic relations with the other countries, because despite her close bond with her brother, it's not exactly perfect as Russia often acts like Belarus is his puppet state which she is, forcing her to do things extreme such as recognizing 🟒 Abkhazia and 🟒 South Ossetia.

Гісторыя (History)

Belarus gained independence in 1991 amidst the dissolution of the 🟒 Commie Union. Since then, Belarus has maintained a close relationship with 🟒 Russia. In 1995, Belarus changed her flag coinciding with the rise of 🟒 Lukashenko.

In 2020, after 🟒 Lukashenko's won his 6th term, Belarus witnessed her largest protests ever as people alleged 🟒 electoral fraud. The authorities responded with arrests, sparking further unrest. The international community, including the 🟒 European Union, 🟒 United States, 🟒 Canada, and 🟒 Japan, refused to recognize the election results. In a notable incident in May 2021, Belarus diverted a commercial flight (🟒 Ryanair Flight 4978) to arrest an opposition journalist, prompting widespread condemnation and sanctions from the 🟒 European Union and others.

In retaliation, Belarus reportedly encouraged migrants from 🟒🟒 Syria, 🟒 Iraq, and elsewhere to seek entry into neighboring 🟒 European Union countries, leading to a humanitarian crisis at the borders of 🟒 Poland, 🟒 Lithuania, and 🟒 Latvia. 🟒 EU leaders pushed for more sanctions, and 🟒 NATO condemned Belarus's actions. Meanwhile, 🟒 Russia voiced support for Belarus and deployed nuclear-capable bombers in her airspace. Exploiting the chaos, 🟒 Russia escalated tensions by mobilizing troops near the 🟒 Ukrainian border, creating a new crisis amid the ongoing turmoil.

Дробязі (Trivia)

  • Belarus banned inflation.
  • Despite 🟒 Belarusian being the main official language of Belarus, the citizens living there barely speak it. In fact, 🟒 Russian is the most popular language. Schools typically use the Russian language, only teaching Belarusian as its own separate subject, and all official documents in Belarusian clay are written in Russian.
    • However, the locals will tell you a different story. If you ask them the language they speak, especially closer to the 🟒 Polish, 🟒 Ukrainian and 🟒 Lithuanian borders, they'll say they speak a language called "🟒 Trasianka", a fusion between Russian and Belarusian, among other language fusions.
  • Belarus is pretty much flat all across her clay. Her highest point is only 345 meters high, and it's a hill called 🟒 Mount Dzyarzhynskaya. Geographers may tell you Belarus has flat clay due to the large amount of glacial scouring on the land.
    • However, tourists are often surprised to find mountain-like elevations on clay that is technically supposed to be flat. This is made by mining industries creating things called "spoil tips" β€” huge piles that are created by the accumulation of waste material that is removed during the mining process. Visiting or climbing them is strictly prohibited.
  • Belarus's current flag is just the flag of the 🟒 Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic without the 🟒 hammer and sickle.
