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 dictatorship would have in the 21st century.
Due to hee 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.
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, cause while her relationship with her brother is good, it's not exactly perfect as Russia often acts like Belarus is his puppet state, forcing them to do things extreme such as recognizing 
Abkhazia and 
South Ossetia.

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 contested reelection, Belarus witnessed its largest protests ever as people alleged electoral fraud. The authorities responded with arrests, sparking further unrest. The international community, including the EU, USA, Canada, and Japan, refused to recognize the election results. In a notable incident in May 2021, Belarus diverted a commercial flight to arrest an opposition journalist, prompting widespread condemnation and sanctions from the EU and others.
In retaliation, Belarus reportedly encouraged migrants from Syria, Iraq, and elsewhere to seek entry into neighboring EU 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 its airspace. Exploiting the chaos, Russia escalated tensions by mobilizing troops near the Ukrainian border, creating a new crisis amid the ongoing turmoil.
