Chrome Hounds is a video game for the XBox360 game console. The player takes
the role of a mercenary in a conflict between three fictional nations in
the (also fictional) Neroimus region, apparently located somewhere in
Central Asia, southeast of the Black Sea.

This is set on an Alternate History scenario, with a divergence point right after WWII (see "Timeline" on the game's story line page at the Sega website. Therefore, fictional historical events are mentioned (such as a 1981-1992 Eastern European War), but the background includes many real-world elements, such as a collapsed Soviet Union. (I leave aside a lot of unrealistic details, such as toponimy and linguistics, which do not change abruptly in two or three decades, but I account it for the usual handicaps of this particular brand of scenario-builders.)
I found a map at the world view page of the Chrome Hounds website. Too bad it is utterly silly.

This Republic is modeled on one of the more Western-oriented states of Eastern Europe,
perhaps the Czech Republic. Declared independence in 1992 – prior to
that was apparently part of a larger entity, though not the USSR. Flag
resembles a Canadian pale with nothing in the center, and with the two
sidebars divided vertically: dark blue, yellow, light blue, yellow, dark
blue.

On the previously mentioned Sega site, for this nation, under language it says «English»: Surely these are the good guys!

A former Soviet republic. Flag is a red/black bicolor with thin white
stripe in the middle and an odd white-fimbriated black emblem of some
kind, a bit reminiscent of an Orthodox cross rotated 45 deg. Borders on
the Black Sea; probably based on the Ukraine, "morsko" being a Slavic
root meaning "of the sea."

Petromonarchy, arid and desertlike. Ethnically Turkish; otherwise seems a
lot like Saudi Arabia. Flag has three unequal vertical stripes at hoist:
black, yellow, orange, proportions approx. 5:1:1; the rest of the field
is diagonally divided green/yellow, with an orange emblem in the center.
