Dalnijrus
Dalnijrus (Russian: Дальнийрусь; Dalnijrusian: ???; occasionally incorrectly Daynijrus), officially the Republic of Dalnijrus, is a country in Caucasia.
Etymology
Historically, Dalnijrus was referred to in English as 'Far Russia', although this is a slight mis-translation. The correct translation is 'Far Rus'', which describes either the area in Caucasia inhabited by Slavic peoples or the various states that occupied the area.
Dalnijrus was named "Dalnijrussia" in the days of Imperial Russia, and the Russian tsar was usually styled "Tsar of All the Russias — Great, Little, White and Far'. This practice continued throughout the Soviet era, with the country taking the official name of the "Dalnijrussian Soviet Socialist Republic". Some Dalnijrusians object to the name "Dalnijrussia", as an unwelcome reminder of the days under Russian and Soviet rule.
