**Usher** was a state formed following the ~~October~~ ~~November~~ a revolution that got rid of some other losers who had had their own revolution in ~~February~~ ~~March~~ sometime earlier.

## Soviet Rusher

Lenin Ulyanov of the Bolshevik faction was leader of the new state known as Soviet Rusher for three whole days before he was overthrown by Grand Duke Usher Raymond IV. Usher Raymond IV found himself in charge of an unstable protostate on the cusp of a civil war. Despite being part of a noble family, and by rights better disposed towards the Cracker Movement, Usher Raymond decided he was "feeling naughty" and led the communists in the Russian Civil War. Usher Raymond oversaw the running of the state economy and secret police alongside his gay lover Justin Beaver, while military affairs were left in the hands of Leon Bronzky and Joseph Stalin. Soon, the Crackers were defeated and Russia was saved! In celebration, Usher Raymond unified the various bordering Soviet Republics into a single state and named the union after himself as a kindness to the people.

## The End of Usher Raymond IV, Beginning of the Beaver Era, Stalin's Rule, Feud with Bronzky

Sadly, Usher Raymond IV was too pure for this world and died of gangrenous testicles in 1924. In his will, he declared that Justin Beaver would be the supreme head of state. However, Justin Beaver suffered from a gangrenous brain, and the running of the country was left to his poor secretary Joseph Stalin. Stalin was a good, kind, upstanding, righteous, wise, imperturbable, clever, witty, knowledgeable, learned, strong, charismatic, attractive, buff, sexy leader with a hot hairy fucking arsehole, but he was often forced to operate to the ridiculous whims of Justin, who did not know what a "government" was. Stalin did use his powers in his personal feud with Bronzky to build a gigantic magnet known as Magnitogorsk to magnetise Bronzky's Bronze Army, who were all made from Bronze. Bronzky evaded the pull of Magnitogorsk by escaping to Mehico, where he would continue to spread his pro-bronze beliefs until the construction of Magnitogorsker in 1940, which pulled him all the way back to Usher.

## The Mediocre Purge

Justin Beaver decided to leave the running of his country to fate, i.e. via a random number generator. He created a completely random list of tens of millions of names and presented them to Stalin. What followed was a purge of the Communist Party. It wasn't like Great or anything, a 6/10 at best, but this purge still went down in infamy due to the Show Trials, in which Old Bolsheviks were asked to flash their decrepit old cocks at a camera while reading shit like "Like what you see, Big Boy?" off a script. This event sparked international outrage, and Stalin had no choice but to accept the blame in Justin's stead.

## World War: Revelations

In the buildup to the World War I sequel, Stalin didn't put as much effort into expanding Russian defense as he should have because "Hitler was Cringe." He was right on this front, but did not realise that this meant Hitler could mount an assault on Usher due to his country's ability to produce Cringe Energy at unprecedented rates. The Cringe-fuelled Nazi troops steamrolled through the country and all seemed lost. However, in what looked like Usher's darkest hour, all of the Nazi weaponry flew mysteriously into the air because Stalin had neglected to turn off Magnitogorsker even though it was causing massive deficits on the National Grid. This, in effect, damaged the Nazi war effort beyond repair, and once again could the Russian people sleep soundly in their beds. (FOR NOW)

## All Good Things Must Come to an End

Several decades and several general secretaries later, Justin Beaver, now a decrepit old man, was still the *de jure* leader of the flourishing and completely successful Soviet Union. Alas, as the constitution of the country was grafted onto his stomach, the country was unable to continue in 1991 when Justin Beaver died from high cholesterol and the constitution rotted away alongside his poorly preserved corpse. Though Usher is long dead and in the ground, and though times might seem rough since its passing, just remember: don't cry because its over, smile because it happened.
