Ukraine
The Ukraine. One of the largest countries in Europe, and a former Soviet republic, now a country with one of the larger populations in Europe; 47.000.000
The area is around 604.000 square kilometer, making it the 44th largest country in the world. Ukrainian GDP is $ 8.000 and the Human Development Index is growing. The Ukrainian capital is Kiev, and the country has a few other cities with over a million of population, Odessa, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk.
The Southwest is mountainous with the Karpaty mountains. The central has flatlands with some major artificial lakes in the Dnipro river, where Kiev is also located on. The east has one of the largest industrial areas of Europe, the Donbass region. A lot of larger cities are centered here. On the southern side of the Ukraine are beach destinations, on the Krim peninsula and around Odessa. Only the narrow Kerch strait divides Russia and Ukraine on the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov.
Roads
The Ukraine already posesses a large amount of major highways, some of them are up to or are being build to motorway standards. The Ukrainian government has deployed ambitious plans to upgrade many roads and build a lot of motorways, including a 200km Kiev 8-lane ringroad, and a motorway from Slovakia to Luhansk, spanning over 1500km.
The major roads in the Ukraine have M-numbers, Regional roads have P-numbers (Cyrillic, Latin R). The E-numbers are also present in the Ukraine, but it's uncertain if they are signed.
