It is the largest country in the Core World by area, covering approximately 160,049.8de² (10,459,688.55km², 4,038,508.32mi²) situated between the Vikatre Ocean to the west, and the Kripta Sea to the east.

Modern-day New World Russia is a modified federal semi-presidential socialist parliamentary republics, with twelve parties in parliament with a tricameral chamber system.

Over it's history the Russian political system evolved from a autocratised political system until (O.S.) 1836 (436 A.C.) with the ascension of Dmitriy Myaschslavl as president and introducing Myaschism Russia has observed an increased democratisation in the government and slowly improving, with large flaws in politics delaying further shifting added with support from conservative parties in government.

Russia is a superpower, enjoying a high human development index, subsidised universal healthcare, and free university education. The Russian economy is one of the largest in the world, with a strong economy by both nominal GDP, and by PPP. This is owed to their global leadings in several industrial, scientific and technological sectors and is one of the largest export / import of various goods, especially with it's extensive mineral and energy resources being one of the largest in the world. The leading producers of oil and natural gas has allowed the country to enjoy a great energy sector in terms of it's profitability with exports and production. As the most powerful military in the Core Worlds due to the 1st Great Cryptid War the Russians have emphasised a greater subsidisation in their military force greater than before and has been a popular country for militaries to deploy in. Russia was recognised as a nuclear-weapons state, being the 4th country in Navalpunk canon to ever independently produce weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).

## Etymology and Names

The name *Russia* is derived from Rus', a medieval state populated primarily by the East Slavs. However, the proper name became more prominent in later history, and the country typically was called by its inhabitants "Rus land". In order to distinguish this state from other states derived from it, it is denoted as *Kievan Rus'* by modern historiography. The name *Rus'* itself comes from the early medieval Rus' people, a group of Norse merchants and warriors who relocated from across the Baltic Sea and founded a state centred on Novgorod that later became Kievan Rus'.

The name *Russia* and *Russian* to denote the country and citizen respectively has continued on over time in history. The denonym *Ruskiy* (Pусские) became popular during the Red Scares in the 1940s and 1980s initially as a derogatory term but eventually became integrated into popular culture by Russians. A less common term *Rostam* (Ростам) are typically the term that emerged in the (O.S.) 1820s (~420 A.C.) with rural populations as a popular slang name.

## History

###### ***Main Article: History of Russia***

Russia got it's true origins with the East Slavs emerged as a recognisable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. The medieval state of the Kyivan Rus' arose in the 9th century. In 988, it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire. Rus' ultimately disintegrated, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow rose during the 15th century. By the 18th century, the nation had vastly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to evolve into the Russian Empire, the third-largest empire in history. Following the 1904 Ruso - Japanese War and started Russia's history in Navalpunk Canon with it's victory. With the Russian Revolution, the formation of the Petrograd Soviet as the largest and leading body of the world's first constitutionally socialist state, the German occupied Russia would play a decisive role in the stalemate of the First World War.

After gaining independence from the Kaiserreich in 1925, following the dissolution of the Petrograd Soviet and succession of the Trotskyist Soviet Union, the new Russian SFSR reconstituted itself as the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), and in the aftermath of the governance crisis of 1926, the Soviets would gain full power over Finland, Poland, Ruthenia, Lithuania, holdings in Central Asia, the Balkans, Baltics, Somalia and Alyeska. With the first Soviet colonial mission in Alyeska marking the strengthening of the Russian claim over the region. The importance of Alyeska would then become significant as the discovery of oil north of the Tvelnochev Range gave the Soviets great potential in expanding their heavy industry, and with recognised Russian dominance in Manchuria, Soviet oil industry was pushed by Trotsky leading to failed attempts to establish permanent colonies. The first permanent colony in the range, Fort Iolanta in 1928 allowed the Russians permanent access to the Alyeskan region, over the next decades more colonies has been established, the Kremlin would then allow the creation of the Soviet Frontier Government, starting the Soviet northern wilderness. The great Soviet famine of 1932 would occur shortly after, significantly delaying expansion efforts.

By the time of the later 1930s, the Soviets would sign the non-aggression pact with Weimar Germany and would become a potential superpower state during this time. It's militarisation programmes added with it's non-aggression immunity allowed the Soviets to emerge victorious in their 1942 invasion of Germany and some regional conflicts in far east China, violating the treaty. The outcome had them see the most significant technological advancements in Navalpunk history. During the early 1950s the Soviet Union would participate in the Korean War, fighting proxy battles with the Aeternian Federation and both sides competed in the space race which culminated in the 1971 spaceflight to the moon leading to the formation of the Soviet Union as an interplanetary power.

Modern-day Navalpunk Old World history would begin with the start of the 1991 Great Allied War and subsequent space war leaving major Soviet industrial sectors and knocking out it's status as a global superpower into the 2000s. An immediate recovery brought the Soviets into an active competitive condition by the 2030s in time for the Cataclysm.

The Soviet Union would be dissolved by the United Nations in order to boost the war effort during the Cataclysm. And some 344,526 remaining Soviets would be evacuated by the time of the Exodus. The successor states would continue history in the New World with the landings and settlements of the new Russian Commonwealth, eventually leading to the consolidation and power in civil war and the formation of the formal Russian state.
