Armenians take great pride in noting that Armenia was the first Christian nation in the world. The mother church is in Etchmiadzin:

The country is also home to a few interesting Roman ruins, like the temple at Gari:

Throughout Armenia (Hayastan in Armenian), there are myriad stone churches, ancient fortresses, and monasteries, which would certainly find use in classic Twilight 2000 fashion.

Armenia suffered heavily from the dissolution of the USSR. They had some very tough winters after the collapse, which forced them to restart one of two VVER nuclear reactors; due in no small part to people were freezing to death in winter because of energy shortages.
