Russia (Imperial Re-Uprising)

The Great Russian Federation (Russian: Великая Российская Федерация) is an Earth-based country in Eurasia, with colonies and puppet states on the Moon, as well as Mars, Venus, Titan, Titron and Pluto and entire planetary territories and vassal planets in the Kepler, Saggitarius, Proxima, Tau Ceti, Svetlana (HD186302) and the Alpha Centauri star systems.
Russia is currently the Milky Way galaxy's largest nation, 7 star systems, and on Earth, eleven time zones, and spanning two continents (on Earth), we well as over 87 entire planets and dwarf planets. 
The impetus for the formation of modern-day Russia was after the death of Vladimir Putin and the rise of Mikhail Mishustin as Russia's first "Supreme Leader".
The 2025 Russian Civil War, fought between neo-Imperialists, Communists and pro-Western paramilitaries saw the re-emergence of a semi-monarchial Russian state, ruled by a Supreme Leader. Afterwards, came Russia's re-expansion into the former Russian Empire (as well as the Soviet Union).
With an economy of $367.4 trillion USD, Russia currently has the galaxy's largest GDP, however has the highest GDP per capita. With its impressive space military, it is considered the paramount superpower of the galaxy, as it currently possesses the galaxy's most powerful space force.
== History ==
==== Political Turmoil of the 2020s ====
Russia was a hot mess in the 2020s. In 2024, Putin was murdered by an unknown assailant, leading Mikhail Mishustin to become the President of Russia. However, the weakness of the Kremlin caused by the death of such an iron-fist ruler caused large-scale political turmoil in Russia.
Therefore, Mikhail Mishustin, and Nikolay Chernov, a Russian veteran from Syria, assumed complete and total control of Russia. However, Russia remained in a state of civil unrest, and soon, civil war.
The United Russia Party and the Communist Party were the two main combatants, leading to large-scale civil unrest in Russia. Large-scale protests by communists to restore the communist regime of the Soviet Union occurred. However, those of the United Russia Party remembered the religious persecution of living under a State Atheist regime, and had no desire to see the return of the Red Banner as the flag of Russia.
Nikolai Chernev, a follower of Aleksandr Dugin, argued that neither party had the solution for Russia, and argued for a new movement - mixing imperialism, democracy with Russian nationalism. Chernev called his followers the "New Russians". Although staunchly opposed to communists and socialists, Chernov incorporated elements of socialism, stating that he favored a "distribution of wealth", an economic tradition stemming back to the times of the Old Testament.
Chernev's movement consisted of Russian military veterans, and since Chernev himself had ties to the Russian military, he was able to convince members of the Russian military to join his cause.
Chernev's followers would often resort to violent means, carrying out armed raids on the homes of wealthy Russian magnates, as well as American magnates doing business in Russia. At this point in time, foreign nations had begun to recall diplomats from Russia, since Russian military and police were too weak to quell the turmoil.
After assuming complete and total control, Supreme Leader Mishustin plotted with Chinese leaders to invade and partition Central Asia.
==== Re-Expansion & "Two-Regime System" ====
In 2026, fierce competition between the two political factions, as well as a third party, the Progressive Party of Russia, supported by NATO, began to have daily heated engagements on the streets.
In 2028, the New Reds bombed a Progressive office in Moscow, leading to armed Progressive retaliating by carrying out lynchings of suspected communists. Soon, rifles and bombs were being used in the hands of the three political parties, and the 2029 Russian Civil War commenced.
The "New Reds" led an invasion of Central Asia, and despite opposing communists, Supreme Leader Mishustin figured that he could use the neo-communists and neo-Sovietists of Russia and Kazakhstan to invade the former Soviet republics, which themselves, were either former provinces or protectorates of the Russian Empire.
This led to all-confusing political system in Russia, with parts of Russia being ruled by neo-Imperialists under Supreme Leader Mishustin, and one led by the Communists under Sergey Kasimirov, who himself, also had the intent of becoming the Supreme Leader of Russia.
Mishustin proclaimed St. Petersburg as the capital of "Great Russia" while Sergey Kasimirov proclaimed either Moscow or Ulyanovsk to be the capital of Russia.
Political analysts dubbed Russia as being "one nation, two regimes", but it is clear and evident that the neo-Imperialists and the Communists were the two most powerful factions in Russia, both assuming control of the military.
NATO supported the Progressives and Western-friendly paramilitary groups in Russia, despite denying so. Progressives seized many nuclear bases in Russia, and sent the nukes to NATO for disarmament. However, Chernev's communists were too fierce, and eventually ended up landing the upper hand.
The New Reds were able to seize the Kremlin, and Chernev entered the former office of Vladimir Putin. With the majority of the support of the military and police, Chernev proclaimed himself the leader of Russia.
==== 2031 - Defeat of the Progressives & Russian Re-Expansion ====
In 2031, the New Russians and New Reds decided to unite, and battle the Progressives. 
As retaliation for NATO's involvement in the Russian Civil War, both the neo-Imperialists and Communists agreed to plunge the U.S. into civil war, and funded far-right and far-left groups in the United States to create mass chaos and anarchy.
Concurrently, the New Russians began to infilitrate the ranks of the New Red leadership. In Moscow, the neo-Imperialists under Mishustin and the Communists and Reds under Kasimirov, signed the 2031 Moscow Accord, in which the neo-Imperialists and Reds would both temporarily cooperate under a "united Russian nation" to combat NATO, and their puppet, the Progressives.
Communists in Belarus finally siezed control of Minsk, and re-united Belarus with Russia.
The defeat of the Progressives led to Nikolay Chernov becoming the Supreme Leader of Russia. This was met with opposition from Sergey Kasimirov, who considered himself the Supreme Soviet of all Russia.
The new Russian government spent time re-structuring its nation, however, Chernov called for an invasion of the former Russian Empire as well as the Soviet Union after it. In addition, Chernov also called for the Russian space program, and its full power and glory to come out of the background, and lead Russia to glory.
The "White Terror" against the New Reds soon ensued, as Nikolay Chernov wanted to form a new "Christian state" in Russia. Despite the Moscow Accord which was still technically in effect on paper, neo-Imperialists and New Reds continued to fued. "Red oblasts", territories controlled by Communists began to mushroom all over Russia, as did "White oblasts", those controlled by neo-Imperialists.
However, since much of the Communists were now secretly under neo-Imperialist control, it is the neo-Imperialists who had control of most of Russia.
Russian Communist leaders attempted to get help from China. However, the Chinese Communist Party released a statement, stating that while it sees its Russian counterpart as political brethren, will keep its distance, likely to avoid severing relations with Russia in case of a neo-Imperialist victory. In addition, Chinese leaders were aware of Russia's far-advanced space and interdimensional weapons, knowing that it was under neo-Imperialist control.
Nonetheless, rogue Chinese officers smuggled weapons into southern Russia.
However, it is the White oblasts where Russians enjoyed the best standards of living. Little did Sergey Kasimirov know that the Communists and Red forces were being funded and used as a tool by the neo-Imperialists. Kasimirov's Chief Commissar, Oleg Melnikov attempted to warn the New Red Forces that they were being used, and that their "shadow neo-Imperialist masters" were going to war against them once they got Russia back to superpowerdom.
Kasimirov enacted Stalin-style policies, and relieved Melnikov of his position, replacing him with Leonid Pavlov.
Next, the great "re-migration" of Russian-Americans and Jewish-Americans descended from Russia, back to Russia.
A race ensued between the neo-Imperialists and New Reds, which greatly expanded Russia. However, the New Reds found new fertile ground in the U.S.A., by funding far-left radical Black Communist groups, such as the Black Panthers.
Russia soon invaded the entirety of Georgia, and displaced the native Georgian population, and replacing them with impoverished Russians. The battle was decisive, lasting only a month. Feeling betrayed by NATO, Georgians who opposed Russian annexation joined the New Reds, feeling that their culture would be protected since the New Reds were socialists. The same could be said of neighboring Azerbaijan.
As the neo-Imperialists and New Reds raced for territory, northern and western Russia was mostly under neo-Imperialist control while southern and eastern Russia fell under Communist control. 
Russia didn't invade the Baltics as expected, telling NATO leaders that they had no interest in the Baltics, but also reminding NATO of the secret military supremacy that Russia had been hiding.
The invasion of Azerbaijan also followed, something vehemently opposed by Turkey. Like in Georgia, the Russians displaced the native Azeri population and replaced them with Russians, followed by the invasion of Uzbekistan.
By this point, Russia had once-again grown, prompting NATO to finally respond. It had seemed clear that the Communists were soon to reconquer Russia and re-establish a neo-Soviet state. However, little did the world know, that the neo-Imperialists had control of Russia's space and interdimensional weapons, which is why they cared little about re-conquering most of Russia. 
==== World War III ====
NATO was deeply concerned about the Russian situation, as NATO expected Russia to collapse due to the civil war between neo-Imperialists and Communists, only caused Russia to expand back to its Imperial/Soviet-era days.
Little did they also know that the American civil unrest was completely orchestrated by Russian Communist, Eduard Kamarov, a secretive agent for the New Reds, instructed the Black Panthers to ramp up their activities once the U.S. threatened war against Russia.
NATO repeatedly warned both Russian factions, as well as China to cease their military operations, or else military actions would ensue. In addition, NATO made it public that they had nuclear deflectors installed over their cities, thereby rendering any Russian nuke useless.
Little did NATO know, that as outdated as the Russian military seemed on the surface, thanks to Russian agents infiltrating the ranks of NATO, they too, possessed nuclear deflectors. Like in the past, the Russian government purposefully made itself look to be weak, outdated and crumbling, and the war between neo-Imperialists and Communists only helped that.
However, what NATO did know, is that the Soviet Union never went anywhere. In the 1960s, the Soviets simply began relocating their bases underwater and underground in Western countries, taking all of their wealth with them, explaining the devastation of the Russian economy in the 1990s, the hoax we called the "collapse of the Soviet Union" was just simply the Russians moving their most powerful forces away from the Russian Motherland.
Ever since then, Russians have been operating artificial weather and interdimensional portals underground and underwater in the Western Hemisphere, with the highest concentration surrounding the United States. This way, the Russians can just destroy the United States without having to fire a single shot, ever in case NATO tried land a single soldier in the Russian Motherland.
The world thought that those evil Soviet communists went away in 1992, however Dugin secretly warned NATO leaders of this, and brought up the underwater Russian HAARP bases located around the United States.
The Japanese too, have been operating secret interdimensional and space weapons, becoming second only to Russia.
By this point in time, the United States too, was in a quasi civil war between far-left and far-right paramilitaries. 
In addition, many cell phone towers in the United States and NATO countries, were secretly owned by Russian tech companies, who secretly bought out major network companies in the United States. They had been installed with deadly radiation weapons.
Chernov came up with a new idea, a new ploy. The neo-Imperialists knew that the Communists were the far-inferior group, both against them and against NATO. Instead, Chernov would allow NATO to attack Communist strongholds throughout Russia and Central Asia, to choke the Communists into surrendering to the neo-Imperialists.
==== NATO Black Ops Operations in Russia and former USSR ====
NATO leaders decided that the best course of action would be through Black Ops operations, keeping the hot war against Russia out of public news. NATO wasn't stupid to try to attack Moscow, therefore they aimed for New Red strongholds in the poor parts of the former USSR, to which, was intentionally given to them by the neo-Imperialists. 
In Georgia, NATO blitzed New Red forces in Georgia, and as in World War II, Russia suffered against the aerial might of NATO. In addition, U.S. supercarriers launched sorties against New Red and Chinese naval forces in the Russian Far East.
Chernov allowed NATO to cross into Russian soil to continue attacking, destroying and capturing New Red strongholds. NATO also launched aerial strikes from Uzbekistan into Kazakhstan, to destroy Russian Red and Kazakh Red forces stationed there.
When NATO experienced their successes against Russian Communist forces, then the war was finally announced, with the people of NATO states being convinced that victory over Russia was at hand.
However, armed conflicts within the U.S. began to worsen and mushroom, and soon, certain States' National Guards, now inflitrated by Russians, began to war against each other Yugoslavia-style, in which NATO's invasion of Russia began to crack.
In the process, the New Reds lost over 3.5 million, as well as 9,429 tanks to the NATO invasion, as well as intentful neglect of the neo-Imperialists. However, NATO sustained heavy damages, and morale was running dangerously low among NATO troops, especially the American ones due to the situation back home. LIke before, despite being decimated by enemy (NATO) air superiority, New Red forces fought NATO soldiers house to house and utilized a "no-retreat" policy, attempting to repeat the Soviet gallantry against the German and Axis forces during World War II.  
NATO's ground forces, standing at 1.2 million strong, despite being outnumbered by the New Reds and their force of 3.5 million, NATO fielded quality forces. The Turkish government repeatedly attempted to warn NATO leaders that they were falling into a Russian trap, when Turkish intelligentsia discovered the neo-Imperialist plot. Therefore, Turkey began establishing contacts with neo-Imperialist leaders, who agreed that Turkey may continue to deliver food and medical supplies into the Caucusus, however, must not engage in direct military operations against Russia. In return, the Turkish military, still a part of NATO, signed a secret protocol with both Russian factions to warn both of coming NATO attacks.
When NATO forces aimed at St. Petersburg, Chernov gave the order for HAARP Russian forces secretly stationed across the world to begin their apocalyptic artificial weather attack against the United States. Concurrently, the Second American Civil war began to worsen.
At this point, NATO countries who were fully aware of the Russian space weapons, pulled out, even switching sides and agreeing to aid Russia against NATO. Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece and Macedonia all declared war against NATO. 
With the New Red numbers reduced, and their supplies depleted, Chernov's ploy was beginning to work as many New Red leaders began to surrender, and began to abandon their allegiance to Sergey Kasimirov. Eventually, Chernov began to make his move, ordering the real wrath of the Russian forces to push back the NATO invasion. Concurrently, no longer fearing a NATO reprisal, Turkey withdrew all of its forces from the Caucusus, and helped Russia fight Ukrainian forces in Crimea.
Former New Red stations in Central Asia, was turned into the Central Asia Regiment, and were supplied by the Russian space forces. Chernov supplied them with the new Sukhoi Su-37, a far-advanced Russian all-weather and all-purpose plasma-powered fighter jet. 
Russian forces quickly pushed NATO back south into Uzbekistan, where the Uzbek government surrendered to Russia, and joined Russia in its war against NATO. As a reward, Chernov told Tashkent that Uzbekistan would remain independent, but under Russian influence. The 5th, 9th and 10th Central Asia Armies stayed in Uzbekistan to establish bases for Russia.
Finally, secret Russian and Chinese artificial weather forces in the Gulf of Mexico conducted a HAARP attack that caused the world's first Category 7 hurricane, Hurricane Mila.
This occurred concurrently with a Magnitude 11 earthquake along the San Andreas Fault Line in the United States, destroying U.S. military bases along the West Coast. The Russians conducted another HAARP attack against Virginia, plunging the Pentagon underwater, and most of the U.S. Navy still stationed in Virginia.
In 2054, NATO was forced to resort to nuclear attacks against both Russia and China out of desperation. Rather than targeting Moscow, the first nuke fired by NATO was aimed at Novosibirsk. However, the nuke was deflected, and ended up hitting the United States' ally Japan, this greatly shocked NATO, and many protests in the United States and the European Union called for NATO to cease its war against Russia.
HAARP bases in Western Europe destroyed more NATO bases, cutting down NATO's aerial strength from 7,340 aircraft, to 2,103 aircraft. Now, with Russia having 4,304 aircraft, Russia had the aerial dominance.
At this point, the U.S. was in complete and total civil war, but the Russians weren't finished there.
Russians also activated the 6G towers across NATO countries, causing a surge in deadly pandemic-like symptoms, and eventually, mass-death. Concurrently, Russian military scientists posing as American medical professionals promoting a "new vaccine", which was nothing more but a eugenic weapon developed in Russia. Across the United States and the European Union, the new "bubonic plague" broke out.
However, Russia had also developed the cure, the real cure, and would force the EU nations to buy it using the Russian ruble.
In addition, much of NATO's navy was also decimated, the artificial hurricanes, typhoons and tsunamis and forced pandemics decimated NATO's naval strength from 30 aircraft carriers, to 2 aircraft carriers, from 700 warships to 103 warships. They were now outnumbered by the Russian-Chinese-Islamic navy of 955 warships.
Japan called off its participation in operations against Russia, as it now dealt with a Chinese invasion on its doorsteps. Japan signed an agreement with China, that China would not attack Japan and Japan would not support, nor allow any NATO warships to pass through its waters for any attacks against China.
In addition, the Japanese government blamed the nuke on the United States' ignorance, and while it had no intentions of becoming an ally of either China or Russia, both Moscow and Beijing offered assistance to Japan for incursions into the United States, therefore Japanese military leaders met with their Russian and Chinese counterparts in Moscow to discuss the plans.
However, NATO fired more nukes in hopes of exhausting Russia's shields, to no avail. Fearing that more nukes were going to rain down on Japan, as a result of being deflected by Russian nuclear deflectors, the Japanese government declared war on the United States. 
Russian and Japanese space weapons fired beams at entire towns and cities, followed by an earthquake atrack from Russian HAARP bases.
The Second American Civil War ended all hopes for a NATO victory, and pulled the United States out of the war, leaving the rest of NATO to continue without the United States.
NATO was severely weakened without the United States, Russian warplanes now dominated the skies, expelling remnants of the NATO aerial battalions. Relations between Turkey and NATO only soured their cooperation, when NATO considered the entirety of Cyprus to be under Greek Cypriot control.
With a such large force, China sent large batches of forces to help Russia in their invasion of NATO countries. The HAARP Base in the New Madrid Faultline, caused Lake Michigan to flow south into the Gulf of Mexico, which the Chinese and Russian navies used to access the Great Lakes states. The Russian forces were cut down in Poland, but eventually ended up conquering Poland, and sweeping through Eastern and Central Europe without opposition.
Germany, soon pulled out of NATO, and its new leader, Anton Bolinder, was influenced by the re-rise of Russia and the Ottoman-like Pax Islamica. Bolinder soon declared war against NATO, and under Russian support, began the invasion of the former German Empire, similar to Russia's own invasion of the former Soviet Union and Turkey's invasion of the former Ottoman Empire.
The Russians skipped Switzerland, and had no interest in conquering Western Europe, rather, Russia signed an agreement with the Western European countries to allow Russian warships to pass through their waters en route to the invasion of the United States. Russia and Germany openly allied, with Germany supplying the Russians. The Russians aided the German invasion of the German-speaking regions of Switzerland.
Seeing as to how the United States got them into this mess, the Western European nations agreed to allow Russian forces to pass through their nations. By the time that the first Russian troop landings were made in the eastern United States, they reported that the country had been ravaged by civil war.
Weapons contractors made deals with various American militia groups, to further spearhead tearing apart the former United States. Now that the U.N. was under Russian influence, the USD became worthless since it ordered all nations of the world to ban the USD.
Russian, Chinese, Japanese and German warplanes flew over the former United States. The first three nations backed the formation of the People's Republic of California. 
Russian and Chinese forces targeted college campuses across the United States to become tech centers, where people would build and develop technology for the new superpower duo.
==== Post-World War III ====
thumb|327x327px|Supreme Leader Svetlana Orlova
Russia grew out of the ruins of World War III as one of the paramount superpowers of the world. The fall of the United States and the fall of the U.S. dollar saw the rise of the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan as the global power currency.
Moscow became the new home of the U.N., which Russia and China creating a "Global Dollar", which would be the new power currency. 
In 2045, Chernov stepped down as the Supreme Leader of Russia. Unlike past leaders, Chernov rebuked all praises of war, known for his infamous speech, "There is no glory in bloodshed, only in ages of peace and prosperity". As such, Chernov admonished Russian citizens against carrying portraits him, like they did with Stalin, as he retreated to go live a quiet life in Sochi.
He was replaced by Svetlana Orlova, who served as the Head of the National Department of Education and Humanities, and had a well-known humanitarian career. Orlova served as a doctor in the Russian Armed Forces.
Svetlana's rule began a new age of progress in Russia, becoming the first woman leader of Russia ever since Catherine the Great.
However, Svetlana was known for being an even more fervent Christian than Chernov, often-not, speaking ill of Muslims, and decreasing ties with the Pax Islamica and China. Perhaps one of the most contrevoursial moves by the female Supreme Leader was her relieving of Defense Minister Ruslan Botusov, whom she criticized for not defending and upholding Christianity in Russia.
thumb|385x385px|The white marble "Kremlin of Knowledge", built in Almaty, during the rule of Supreme Leader Lyudmila Sandberg
Svetlana instead, replaced him with Lyudmila Sandberg, of patrilineal Swedish descent, and a convert to Russian Orthodoxy. Lyudmila Sandberg eventually found the Woman Warriors of Christ, an organization advocating Christianity in Russia.
Along with the Pax Islamica, Germany and China, Russia formed part of the G4, forming the four most powerful nations on earth after World War III.
Economic growth soon ensued in Russia, to lengths never-before experienced in Russia. China and the Pax Islamica purchased their weapons from Russia, in the Russian ruble, seeing large-scale economic growth for Russia.
Other superpowers also emerged from World War III, including Canada, Brazil, Mexico and the Incan Republic, in the Western Hemisphere, the Brazilian unit of currency was used to purchase sugar. Both Russia and China maintained strong links with the three superpowers of the Western Hemisphere.
In the years to come, the opposite of what transpired in the 1990s post-Soviet Russia occurred, in which Americans and Russian-Americans alike, who suffered from the effects of World War III began to flock to Russia, increasing Russia's population and productivity.
Lyudmila Sandberg succeeded Svetlana, and continued the White Terror against communists with full-force.
In 2061, there was a coup attempt by hardcore communists against Supreme Leader Anastasia Veselovskaya. This coup attempt failed miserably, in which the Supreme Leader officially outlawed communism and socialism in Russia, with the exception of historical relics and military memorials. Supreme Leader Anastasia banned communists from gathering at Lenin's Mausoleum in Moscow.
==== Space Expansion 2070-present ====
Supreme Leader Lyudmila Sandberg stated her intent to expand Russian civilization beyond the Earth. Along with Defense Minister Boris Kovalenko, the Russian government began to use their once-secret space portals to begin extracting minerals to build colonies on Mars, as well as moons orbiting other planets.
In 2070, construction began on the first space colony, which would orbit around the planet Venus, since Supreme Leader Sandberg already had plans for ground colonies on Mars.
It is in this same year that the "Great Disclosure" on the hidden ancient history of Mars was announced by the Kremlin, in which Lyudmila Sandberg finally revealed to the world that Mars could indeed, sustain intelligent life, and has been so for hundreds to even thousands of years.
Other nations, such as the Pax Islamica, China and Japan had also experimented with portals, with a Martial portal having once-existed in Egypt, in which Islamic leaders have made attempts to re-open and re-activate that ancient portal.
==== Russo-Martian wars, 2072-2080 ====
Russian space troops in Mars revealed giant ancient alien structures, and reported human breeding colonies on Mars. At this point, an infuriated Lyudmila Sandberg ordered what would be, the first human invasion of another planet.
While China and India were becoming Earth-based superpowers, and building up their empires on Earth, contesting over the Asia-Pacific and Africa, Russian space forces began to make their preparations for an all-out assault on E.T. bases on Mars.
President Luke O'Helton of Texas stated that the Texan Space Force would like to collaborate with Russia on their war against Martian captors. Nikolai Andronikov, a descendant of Wilhelm Reich, gave the Russians and Texans crystal-based weapons.
Russia and Texas began to re-orient space portals, once kept a secret, into transport bases en route to a portal that leads to Mars. The 1st Mars Squadron, consisting of 12,000 space troops and 20 advanced space jets, teleported into an ancient abandoned Martian metropolis.
The 1st Mars Squadron made their first contact with Martians at the Hellas Basin, where a large confrontation ensued. Fyodor Vinukorov, Colonel of the 3rd Mars Ground Regiment, reported that the Martians were indeed "giants", however in spite of being overshadowed in size, the Russians were able to destroy six Martian outposts.
General Viktor Babikov, leader of the 2nd Mars Ground Division, also reported large human breeding farms, where humans were being kept captive, as food for the Martians.
As backup, the 2nd Mars Squadron, was assembled to secure the humans, and within a time-span of three years, the Russians secured the entire Hellas Basin. The Russians would help establish, the first human Martian kingdom, Hellashia. The Hellashian language became the first-recorded Martian language, and the Russians introduced the Cyrillic alphabet and Christian faith to the former captives.
However, Martians were not giving up. Therefore, Supreme Leader Sandberg ramped up efforts, for tight security in the Hellas Basin.
=== Expeditions into Venus, 2095 ===
In 2095, Supreme Leader Anastasia announced that Russia was going to explore the surface of Venus. Through the Moscow portal, located underneath St. Basil's Cathedral, the Russians transported a piece of fruit on to the surface of Venus, and was utterly shocked and surprised to see it perfectly still on the Venusian surface, questioning the images sent back by the Vanera space probes. the 1st Vanera Squadron was teleported onto the surface of Venus.
Like Mars, Venus was not such a hot hellhole as NASA had said. Members of the 1st Vanera Squadron reported that the Venusian surface and atmosphere was well-suited for life. Like Mars, Evgeny Petrov, the Captain of the squadron, reported to St. Petersburg that they had found large ancient structures on Venus, resembling ancient Greco-Roman structures.
General Vladimir Provodnikov, leader of the 1st Vanera Excavation Division, discovered million-year old manuscripts, made with precious and gemstones indicating that in its prime, Venus was a planet of political prestige.
The 2nd Vanera Squadron was sent to explore the Venusian north pole. They stumbled upon what seemed to be an ancient temple, very similar to the one found on Mars. Inside the temple, Russian soldiers reported getting visions.
Due to the similarities of the structures found on other planets, Dmitry Pavlov, the Commander of the Russian Interplanetary Expedition Force, theorized that a preceding and far-more intelligent civilization had connected all the planets.
In 2103, under Supreme Leader Dimitri Belaev, and more discoveries of Venus' ancient past, Russia decided to proceed building a colony on Venus. German High Leader Anna Schreiber suggested paying homage to Venus' ancient past as a political planet, and relocate the Russian and German capitals into Venus.
For the centuries to come, many nations of the Earth would come to follow this model. As such, in 2270, the United Nations decided to move their headquarters into Venus. The U.N. moved their headquarters into Almagrad, the Russian capital city on Venus.
==== 2400 - Role in the Inner Tripartite ====
In 2400, it was clear that Earth, Venus and Mars were all habitable. The major powers of the Earth had long-colonized them, as well as Titan and Titron. The 2300s was a century full of discovery, with scientists from Russia, Texas and Serbia all discovering the ancient truths of the three planets, and establishing kingdoms in them based on their ancient selves. All the capital cities of the nations had at this point, re-located to Venus, their military bases on Earth, and Mars, an ancient musical planet, all of their music schools located on Mars.
Earth was also the main planet for food production in all three planets.
== Economy ==
The Russian economy is currently the world's 3rd-largest economy by nominal GDP, however, it is the world's largest in terms of GDP per capita.
Russia's economy runs on a social market system, containing light elements of social democracy,
=== Military ===
Russia is one of the paramount superpowers of the world, and is currently the world's sole space superpower.
==== Aerospace Forces ====
The Aerospace Forces of Russia is the dominant branch of the Russian military, owning the world's most up-to-date space and aerial warfare technology. This branch of the military had been secretly operating since the days of the Soviet Union, in the 1980s when the Soviets developed space warfare technology.
In 2070, no longer seeing the need to divide aerial and space warfare, the Kremlin decided to merge the Russian Air Force and Space Force. The Space Forces currently operates 172 space portals, three international military space stations throughout the solar system, 8 spaceship carriers, 12,300 space jets, 7,103 traditional fighter jets, 92 battle frigates, and 102 space corvettes.
In addition, the Russian Space Forces owns 10 moon bases, 5 of which information is highly classified, as well as 4 Martian bases.
==== Navy ====
The Russian Navy is the world's 2nd-largest navy. This branch of the Russian military operates 4 plasma-powered aircraft carriers, 90 laser-powered corvettes and 90 plasma submarines. In addition, the Russian Navy operates 3,200 traditional military aircraft.
In total, the Russian Navy operates 347 naval vessels.
==== Ground Forces ====
The Russian Ground Forces is the smallest branch of the Russian military. The Ground Forces currently employ 474,200 personnel, making it a rather small force in terms of the global scale. The Ground Forces also operates 5,200 plasma tanks.
== News ==
6/13/9020 - The Krasny System is considered one of Russia's most irreligious regions. Long after Great Russia successfully re-conquered the Krasny Star System after the Soviets surrendered it, the influence of irreligion still draws strong in the Krasny System.
RT and TASS interviewed random people throughout the Krasny System to get an insight as to what religious and non-religious think of one another.
Ivan Vladikov, who lives in the city of Krasnygrad, is a practicing Russian Orthodox. Of atheists and non-Christians, he states, "Although I hate to see where they'll end up for eternity, but I have no hatred for atheists, they are Russian just like me, they are brothers."
Anyela Yafirova, also a practicing Orthodox, has a much more radical stance. She states, "Those who do not believe in God and Jesus Christ need to rethink their ways, this is Russia, Christianity is part of our heritage. It is what will save them from eternal damnation, more importantly."Category:Countries
