Minsk Territories

The Minsk Territories refer to the lands ceded by the Russian Republic to the German, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires at the Treaty of Minsk in 1918.

Where the quest is concerned, the term refers mainly to the eastern part of the Minsk Territories - in what is Ukraine and southern Russia.

Southern Territories
While the northern Minsk Territories (Baltic States, Poland and Belarus) are under exclusive German control, the vast Southern Territories are divided into a series of principalities on the Baltic model - to be ruled by princes from the Habsburg and Hohenzollern houses.

Some of these states include (capital in brackets):


 * Principality of Ukraine (Kiev)
 * Principality of the Crimea (Sevastopol)
