"Let me into Russia PLEASE!"

- Belarus

Belarus (Belarusian: Беларусь, Russian: Белоруссия/Беларусь) (formerly known as Byelorussia or Belorussia - sometimes still referred to these) is a country located in eastern Europe. Belarus is bordered by Lithuania and  Latvia to the north,  Russia to the north and east,  Ukraine to the south, and  Poland to the west.

Belarus is quite popular within the fandom, known mostly to the fandom as Russia's sibling. They are mostly seen with their sibling, Russia, or their sibling, Ukraine. They can be seen as both genders, however, the most commonly drawn gender is female.

Appearance
They are usually seen with an oversized, oriental red and white patterned scarf and a green and red jumper or sweater underneath. For bottoms, they usually wear a skirt or jeans.

However, some people picture them as more feminine, wearing a red and white patterned skirt or dress.

Personality
Belarus is usually described as cheerful, playful, and warm-hearted, but can be portrayed only faking their happiness. They are fiercely loyal to Russia and Ukraine, (despite them both not getting along all the best) and they adore their family.

Belarus can also be shown more negatively, sometimes being depicted as depressed or antisocial. In reference to Hetalia, they can also be depicted as having feelings toward Russia (despite being siblings), though this is rare and not seen much throughout the fandom.

Interests
Belarus has an interest in sports. Even during the Soviet era, they participated in events, such as the Olympics, and did rather well. (They played as the Soviet Union

The Belarusian States
Between the 9th and 12th century, the Principality of Polotsk (Northern Belarus) had risen as the dominant centre of power on (modern-day) Belarusian territory, with a lesser role played by the Principality of Turaŭ (a medieval East Slavic principality and important subdivision of Kievan Rus' since the 10th century on the territory of modern southern Belarus and northern Ukraine) in the south.

It made sure to assert it's sovereignty, and it eventually had risen as the political capital and the controller of subjective territories among Baltics countries in the west.

The city built a Cathedral, (Cathedral of the Holy Wisdom) (1044–66) and it still exists today, (?) though being completely rebuilt over the course of the years. During this Polatsk period, a lot of work was established, including, transcribed books, promoted literacy and sponsored art.

Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Era
Eventually, the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania chose to unite, thus giving birth to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Belarus was a part of it for a long time and went to war with others such as the Russian Empire and Sweden. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth came to an end with the Partitions of Poland, giving the Russian Empire, the Austrian Empire, and the Kingdom of Prussia a lot of new territories. Belarus was handed over to the Russian Empire, starting the Russian Empire Era

Russia
Russia and Belarus' relations are very close, with Belarus being Russia's biggest business partner and support, they seemingly get along much better than Ukraine and Russia. Usually, when fights break out and Russia is involved, Belarus will most likely take Russia's side. They sometimes get stuck between Ukraine and Russia's. They can be only compared to Belarus' relations with Russia. These two countries together with Belarus have always promoted the kindest relations between nations, especially after the Soviet Union dissolved.
