The USSR

The United Sadie Stan Republic (more commonly referred to as The USSR) is a country in Higeki where a lot of the conflict and main plot points occur.

## History

The country was initially founded by a small group of people, including but not limited to Bongo Zvezda, Harley Vremya and The Dungeon Masters. They set up the first ever nonpartisan constitutional monarchy, with Bongo as their leader. The group of Dungeon Masters assigned to The USSR were Shawn Pechali wielding the Fire aspect, Kazimir Axit wielding the Toxicity aspect, Kyoka Voda wielding the Water aspect, Violet Sinstra wielding the Undead aspect, Estrella Nebo wielding the Cosmic aspect, and Algernon Anh-Khoa wielding an unknown aspect. The force of life, Clem, also went undercover as wielding a “Nature” or “Life” aspect, neither of which were truly assigned to anyone within The USSR.

After a good few years of general peace under Bongo’s reign, something went wrong. Breaking the Dungeon Masters’ trust in a fit of rage, Violet trapped several innocent civilians from Strannyy Valley in an inescapable prison forcing them to fight to the death. The tournament lasted days on end, and also allowed tyem to find out many things about their world. They learnt people were given three chances at life before they died for good, and that when they came back to life they would resurrect near the person who would be able to aid them most. They also learnt they could give someone one of their lives in order to keep them alive for longer if so desired. By the end of the killing game, a lumberjack known as Oncey was deemed victorious and Violet was banned from ever using her powers again by Clem. The Dungeon Masters Alliance searched for a new Undead wielder, learning you could actually teach anyone to harness an aspect with enough training and willpower. Bongo officially outlawed Dungeon Masters believing their powers could only bring mass conflict. Some fled as instructed, but a few remained in hiding.

At some point Cyan arrives in The USSR and introduces high-technology.

Many generations passed with an over all peaceful rule, until Mauve was put in charge. She was a kindly ruler, but a group of rogue pirates from The Water Droplet Isles invaded and threatened to attack and raid their land. Many citizens from The USSR brushed it off or made fun of the pirates, seeing them as nothing more than jokes. The pirates never delivered on their threats really, however they accidentally left behind one of their buccaneers named Moneyz, who was quickly adopted as a member of The USSR political team. Later in this same year Mauve adopted a lone orphan named Tangs, unknowingly setting off a chain reaction.

Years later into Mauve’s reign, Tangs protested her mother’s rule over the land while stressed and in a bad state of mind. They threatened to burn The USSR to the ground and leave it as a smoking crater barely resembling what it once was. There were protests from Reese and Saint, and Tangs organised the first ever USSR Election in 2020, forming the Tyranny Party (Tangs, Lemon, Ema, Cyan) while Saint and Reese formed the Divorce Party (Saint, Reese, Jaiden, Blizzie). There was a political debate that was fairly redundant, and the vote was cut off early as the Tyranny Party was winning by a landslide. Towards the end, Blizzie actually offered Tangs a portion of her private island as a sign of peace between the two twins. Tangs took the position of supreme overlord and ordered for the exile and execution of the previous government officials and Divorce Party members as she believed they were against her. They appointed many people with special roles; Ema as their second in command, Janju as Supreme Law Enforcer and many more.

Tangs eventually stepped down, and Ema took their place. Not much changed, however Ema ordered for the construction of a history museum and the new wax seal system. Ema was overthrown by Ashley Poggers after a few months of ruling, in order to initiate another election for fairness sake. The Election of 2021 allowed anyone to form a party. This election consisted of the Tyranny Party 2 (Ema, Ace and Khade), the Invasion Party (Indulge, Blizzie and Tangs), the Big Booby Party (Ashley and Meggs), the Nappa Party (Blade, Rave and Andrei) and the Freesmart Party (Kkat, Moneyz and Shark). It was close, but the Invasion Party won with Indulge as the new Overlord.

Indulge kept citizens under an intense chokehold, and eventually everyone had enough. Ashley lead another revolution against the government, this time abolishing it for good and causing nationwide panic, leading to The USSR crumbling to chaos and being evacuated by everyone.
