Communist Republic of Central Russia & Mongolia

The CRRM is a medium sized dictatorship ruled by The Great Leader, a figurehead that took over in the 80s. It is heavily militarized and is basically a police state. All citizens are monitored by The Agency, a domestic intelligence agency that makes sure all is "stable and perfect". Political freedoms are non existent and freedom of speech is kept to a minimum. It has a very expansionist and nationalist mentality, with most not caring that much about their situation. Its economy is very good, despite the situation of many citizens, with resources being abundant.

**History**

   As the WW2 ground to an unexpected end and the waters began to rise, the small community of Pyativkar became infested with many refugees. Along with that, small raiders and bandits were harassing surrounding towns, interrupting trade. So, the local governments of Pyativkar and Kalivny, along with a few smaller communities, decided to form a small union. Inspired to carry on the ideals of the old USSR and the democratic ideals of the west (which may have been inspired by some of the refugees), they decided to form the union into a democratic communist state. This would quickly form into the First Communist Republic.

    Led by Poltanov Yakovich, the elected leader, the nation would have some very prosperous first few years. Expansions into the south in the 70s along with increased cooperation with their mongolian counterparts in the south made the economy skyrocket. Quality of life drastically increased. Many thought this would go on forever, but it wasn’t meant to last.

    As the years wore on Poltanov, he became much more frightened at the possibility of losing his post. Some even posit he went insane, wanting to become immortal. In the last three years of his leadership, he declared that the elected congress was conspiring against him and he ordered the dissolution of it. Now, there's a big chance the people would have completely lost it, but in a shocking turn of events, the military stood with him and quelled any unrest.

   When he eventually passed away, the disbanded congress attempted to re-establish a new democracy, but General Belousov Demian had other plans. He and a battalion of 500 soldiers marched on the capital, gave a rousing speech and declared the New Communist Republic, which was actually a military dictatorship. In the less populated south, the now exiled congress riled up the population and declared themselves the true government. This came to a head very quickly, as General Demian quickly attempted to quell the uprising. At the Battle of Bloody Heights, hundreds were massacred by New Republic forces as they asserted dominance over any other claimants to the government.

    Under the New Republic, slavery would become a mainstay in the Central Russian economy, most important civilian programs such as universal healthcare and universal pension were scaled back massively in order to pay for more military programs. Along with that, he began a very unpopular war with the Mongolian Federation to the south. This would strengthen the failing economy though, and kept the nation standing for a little while more.

    When General Demian died of a sudden heart attack, another power grab ensued as Revolutionary Papanov Iosif Anatolievich rallied the people to form a new democracy. In the military though, this was seen as preposterous. A general who served with General Demian when he marched on Pyativkar took 1000 soldiers into the capital and destroyed any resistance. Under the name of The Great Leader, they seized power and declared the CRRM. Under their leadership the nation saw equal rights be established, but standards of living plummeted. A rapid militarization of the country made it into a police state with secretive agencies working domestically and abroad. Even with an amazing economy, the average citizen only gets the bare minimum in calorie intake per day.
