Unkerlant

Capital: Cottbus.

Unkerlant represents both the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and China in The Darkness series. Like the Soviet Union, Unkerlant is ruled by a tyrannical dictator (King Swemmel) who holds absolute control over his country after emerging from a brutal civil war (though in this case the war was fought over two brothers' claims to the throne rather than ideological differences).

As with World War Two, in the beginning of the Derlavai War, Unkerlant and Algarve remained formally neutral, with Unkerlant instead being engaged in a war with Gyongyos (Japan). It wasn't until Algarve had conquered Valmiera and Jelgava that war broke out. In the beginning Algarve made great advances into Unkerlant, actually reaching the outskirts of the capital. It wasn't until the battle of Sulingen (OTL Stalingrad) that Unkerlant gained the initiative.
