A free market economy, mixed with the heavy import of foreign goods and western culture helped modernize the Ukraine into a nation to be dealt with.

Economy
Economy-before: After Russia, the Ukrainian republic was far and away the most important economic component of the former Soviet Union, producing about four times the output of the next-ranking republic. Its fertile black soil generated more than one-fourth of Soviet agricultural output, and its farms provided substantial quantities of meat, milk, grain, and vegetables to other republics. Likewise, its diversified heavy industry supplied the unique equipment (for example, large diameter pipes) and raw materials to industrial and mining sites (vertical drilling apparatus) in other regions of the former USSR. Ukraine depends on imports of energy, especially natural gas, to meet some 85% of its annual energy requirements.

BMP-2 Gulan Anti-Tank Unit: The BMP-2 Gulan is a converted BMP-3 that carries a anti-tank missile launcher on its roof. This unit is very good against tanks and other vehicles, but weak against everything else. (Cost: 6)

BM-22 Self-Propelled Rocket Artillery Unit: The BM-22 is a 6x6 heavy truck that carries a large rocket artillery launcher on it. Rockets are good against infantry and tanks. (Cost: 8)

A-40 ‘Mainstay’ Early Warning Unit: The A-40 has a very powerful RADAR mounted on it. It can detect enemy aircraft from very far away.

When ancient Rome was near defeat,
the invincible Tenth Legion was raised:
they beat the barbarians on the battlefield
and Rome gained peace with honour again.
When the traitor, on September the eighth,
left the fatherland in infamy,
the Tenth Flotilla was raised from the sea
and it brought weapons at the cry for honour!
Oh our Tenth Flotilla,
you that mocked England,
you victorious on Alexandria,
Malta, Souda and Gibraltar,
you already victorious upon the sea,
now even on the dry land
you will win!
To you Italian ships, stolen from us
not in battle but by treason,
and to you, our prisoners and dead brothers,
we swear:
we swear that we'll came back,
let this be God's and the Flag's will.
We swear that we'll fight
until we obtain an honourable peace!
