Chernarus is bordered by the [[Russia | Russian Federation]] to the north along the [[Black Mountains]], [[Takistan]] to the west and the Green Sea to the south and east. The capital, [[Novigrad]], is situated on the coast of the [[Burnaya River | Burnaya river delta]] in the south-west of the country, a short distance from the Takistani border. The Burnaya and [[Svetlaya River|Svetlaya]] rivers form the core of modern Chernarus, giving rise to major cities such as [[Kirovograd]] and [[Belozersk]]. Other major settlements can be found along the length of the nation's coast, such as [[Primorsk]], [[Miroslavl']] and [[Chernogorsk]]. Several islands in the Green Sea fall under the sovereignty of Chernarus, most notably the islands of [[Utes]], [[Moschnyi]] and [[Lyutyi]]. Chernarus has been inhabited from at least the 5th Century, with Slavic peoples settling the area sometime around the 11th Century. Various dukedoms controlled the region until the nation was united in the 13th Century by Taras Kozub. Chernarus joined the Russian Empire in 1631, and only regained its independence upon the dissolution of the [[Soviet Union|USSR]] in 1991. In 2009, a civil war would erupt in the predominantly ethnically Russian province of [[South Zagoria]], instigated by the [[Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star]] who sought to unify with Russia<ref>[http://aan.moricky.com/en/europe/3-chernarussian-crisis-intensifies.html Chernarussian Crisis Intensifies], an AAN news article (AAN is a fictional news organisation created by Bohemia for the Armaverse).</ref> The game is currently set in the most north-easternmost province called [[South Zagoria]]. At present, South Zagoria is infested with mindless [[Infected]], as well as [[Survivors]] who have to endure a lack of available food and constant threats of the infected and other Survivors. Chernarus (Чернарусь, "Black Russia") also shares its similar sounding name to the real-life country of Belarus (Беларусь, "White Russia"), a possible influence on the developer's part, as Belarus was a post-soviet state bordered next to [[Russia]]. {{TOC|left}} {{Clear|left}} {{Clear|right}}
