The Ukrainian Church

The Slavic Empire was established in the 1700's by settlers of the Russian Empire. One founder was a priest, Constantine Angelopoulos. He was originally of the Phanariots (Greeks who resided in Constantinople following the Ottoman Conquest in 1453) but made residence in Russia.
The settlers founded a Tzardom, under Tzar Ivan I. Originally, it was to be a absolute monarchy, and it was till 1917, when it became a constitutional monarchy. The majority church is the Orthodox Church, which is mainly in communion with Russia (the Patriarch of Russia is the main man) and the other churches.
The national languages are Russian and Ukrainian (the majority ethnic groups as well). The Church and State are separate, following Tzar Ivan XI's Declaration to the Holy Church. The Orthodox Church mainly has all of the people in its membership. The biggest non-Orthodox person in the land would be the current Tzar's wife, who is a Protestant.
The capital is New Moscow, established as one of the first cities, though other cities like New St. Petersburg, New Kiev and others were established. In New Moscow, the Imperial Family and the leaders of the Church reside.
Catholicism only came when Jesuits, fleeing those against them (in the 1600 or 1700's, the Jesuits were disbanded by the Pope, I think and they were sent out of Catholic countries. Russia allowed them in, because they were not Catholic, I believe.) Protestants outrank Catholics in size but both are outranked by the Orthodox.
In the Slavic Empire, you have this government. First, there is a Duma, where the Government can meet and discuss issues. The Tzar is present sometimes at the Duma. The Tzar has no power, however the Tzarist Proposal in 1999 proposed the Tzar holding the power to command the nuclear weapons arsenal. This was rejected in a vote.
The national sport is hockey, though other sports are rising in popularity. In hockey, you can see the goalie, Vladimir Konstantinov and center, Ivan Vlasov in the NHL (my nation's version). Both are highly famous players.
The Empire also has a colonial heritage. It had owned Hawaii, and leased the base of Pearl Harbour to the US. It also bought Alaska from Russia, before the US did.
The Empire's relations with Mother Russia are good, because Russia (and the Ukraine) lent much to the heritage of the Empire. The Empire did have relations with Soviet Russia and has also declared a holiday in honor of the remembrance of the execution of the Romanovs, July 17th is Remembrance Day (for the Romanovs).
New Constantinople/Tzargrad is the city where the Cathedral of Nicholas II was built, in honor of the late Tzar of Russia. There, one can see the famous mosaic of the Romanovs, made by famous mosaicist, Ivan Nabokov.
Greek is a language of the Empire, after Constantine Angelopoulos was followed by several Greek peoples. The Greek Orthodox Church is the second largest of the Orthodox Churches, after the Russian/Ukrainian Orthodox Church(es?).
The Czar's Guards are a calvalry ceremonial unit, as well as the Suvorov Guard. The Tzar lives in Nevsky Palace, named for Aleksander Nevsky. The Slavic Empire had its own Peter the Great, called Paul the Reformer. His reforms reshaped the Empire.
The Empire has a National History Museum in New Moscow, so people can take a look at Imperial History. In the city of Port Romanov, people can see a Museum built to showcase the rule of the Romanovs. That city also houses a statue of the Romanovs, built again by Ivan Nabokov. Nabokov was a famous builder and architect, his last creation was the Cathedral of Thanksgiving, he passed away in 1999, while showing people his new creation idea, the HMS John Chrysostom.
In the capital, one can go to Palamas Square (named for St. Gregory Palamas, a Byzantine saint who feuded with Barlaam of Calabria over Heyschasm). There is the Cathedral of St. John Chrysostom, named for this famous saint who composed Orthodoxy's Divine Liturgy.
In the Empire, peace reigns. Classes are set to the tune of Imperial Russia (I can explain). The Prayer of Russians is the national anthem, though God Save the Tzar a known song.
