Crimea (Version 7)

Primary Information
Crimea on version 7 of Recrafted Civilizations while being technically a vassal of Russia really held all the power and pulled the strings. Due to this Crimea was the world's number one superpower and while technically only controlling a small piece of land politically it controlled the entire world. If the dynmap was accurate, Crimea would control it all.

History
Crimean history started from the incompetence of the Sultan of the Ottoman empire who really had no allies in his own government. He was then overthrown but allowed to live. He then relocated to Crimea where he staged a rebellion and allied himself to Russia giving the Ottomans an ultimatum to allow Crimean independence or go to war. The Ottomans accepted Crimean independence but then the Russians demanded that Crimea become a vassal with the Crimeans accepting this seeing it as a way to have an ally and infiltrate a much larger government.
