Idel-Ural Free State
The Idel-Ural Free State is a pluralist ethnostate unifying the Tatars, Bashkirs and Udmurts, all of whom have suffered greatly under the nightmarish rule of the Mad Regent. Their main enemy is the Ural Purification Zone, led by Yuri Evtukovich. Ethnic Russians living in the Idel-Ural Free State are encouraged to reject their old identities and assimilate into a more "moral" ethnicity. Like the Christian Republic of Samara, the I.U.F.S is rather cynical, believing that Russians will join another oppressor against the other ethnic groups in Russia. While they consist of Uralic peoples with barely any representation given to the Russians, they are nothing compared to their counterpart in Kazakhstan, the Kazakh Purification Army. Despite their dreams of restoring old cultures before Taboritsky's rise to power, it's implied that the damage has already been done. Many of the ethnic minorities' scholars and literate men were executed by Taboritsky's men, the few educated men left struggle to teach the rest of their people, cultural works were destroyed, and everyone is too traumatized to build the motivation to study. Ultimately, Taboritsky has inflicted long-term damage on their cultures, and it will take decades before it can heal, if at all.
