Novarussia

Novarussia (SY 209 to SY 315) was the successor state to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (379 BSC to SY 140), although a period of almost seventy years elapsed in between the two state's existence. 
== Background ==
During the interim period, the former Soviet republics largely functioned autonomously and dwelt in relative peace with one another. Each enjoyed good trade relations with the People's Republic of China and the former Consortium provinces of Europe.
When Technocracy forces landed on Earth to quell the uprisings during the Battle of Earth, Nikolaisha "Nikanor" Varkosky went with them. That would be his very last trip to space; he would spend the rest of his life on Earth.
Nikanor, as the seasoned Technocracy military commander, quickly found purchase among the military commanders of his native Russia as part of the collective Council of War of the Russian Republic. Nikanor established good relations with the United States, which was experiencing a Technocratic revolution in it's own right.
== History ==
In SY 209, Nikanor and the other officials of the military-led skeleton government of the Soviet Russian Republic met in Arkhangelsk and signed the Mandate of Novarussia. It laid claim to most of what was the Russian Republic and extended it's claim to any and all Cyrillic speaking peoples throughout the Earth.
Within days of the Mandate's signing, Nikanor had made contact with Anthrarchos by meeting with diplomats from the short lived state of Nova Roma and agreed to an alliance. With Nikanor's influence over the Technocracy -- which, by this point, had largely consolidated itself in the former United States -- the majority of Earth's population came under his direct or indirect control.
