Union State (22nd Century and On)

The Union State of Eurasia (Russian: Союзное государство, Serbo-Croatian: Држава Уније Država Unije, Belarusian: Саюзная дзяржава, Kazakh: Одақтық мемлекет, Kyrgyz: Азия союзу Мамлекеттик, Tajik: Иттиҳоди Шӯравӣ, Czech: Stát Unie, Slovak: Štát únie, Romanian: Statul Uniunii, Armenian: Միության պետություն, Mongolian: Евразийн холбооны улс, Manchu: Kulbuny Uloos Yevrazia), formerly the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Union State of Belarus and Russia is a supranational union and military alliance located in Eurasia. It currently consists of Russia, Yugoslavia, Belarus, Moldova, Armenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Manchuria and Mongolia.
It is, in many respects, considered a descendant of the Warsaw Pact, Commonwealth of Independant States, Union State of Belarus and Russia and the CSTO, with the latter two being considered its direct parent organizations. It currently one of the world's most powerful political and military blocs, along with NATO and NPTO, the latter being led by China. It is considered one of the two main power blocs for the Eastern Hemisphere, with the other being the New Dehli Pact, led by India.
Like NATO and the United Nations, the Union State also utilizes its forces to partake in peacekeeping missions.
==History==
In 2037, Russia announced that it would be dissolving the Commonwealth of Independant States, and merging the Union State of Belarus and Russia with the Collective Security Treaty Organization to form the Union State of Eurasia. 
Japan, having a former hatred for Russia, but still maintaing its hatred against China and the United States, joined as the Union State, in a large surprise move.
The admission of Japan into Russia's sphere of influence gave a major blow against NATO. 
However, with the formation of the New Dehli Pact, Japan, as well as Korea, both found an alternative to both the Union State and NATO. Although officially member states, Japan and Korea were never truly friendly towards the other Union State members, and were often at odds with the other members, let alone each other.
Japan completed its exit from the Union State in 2099, and completed its entry into the New Dehli Pact in 2101 followed by Korea's entry in 2102. This further threatened China's maritime hegemony.
