Commonwealth of Sovereignty

Commonwealth of Sovereignty is a political and military alliance on the Eurasian continent. It was initially proclaimed by Soviet Russia which had been defeated by western allied forces, and it gradually became a military alliance to challenge the hegemony of their western rival. Nominally, all the member states of COS are fully independent sovereignty state, but these countries are mostly regarded as the puppets or satellite states of Russia.

## History

### Background

After being defeated by the Allies, a fragile democratic liberal government was installed in new Soviet Russia Federation. Although the western countries promised that Russia would be benefited from market economy and democratic system, the fact is that the congress became the source of political polarization, and the privatization astonishingly scaled up the wealth gap. People found that their living standards were even worse, not better, comparing to that of old Soviet Union.

When the Europa Spring spread over the western Europe to topple the domination of tech-oligarchy, an ideology, National Sovietism, that advocates both nationalism and communism became increasingly popular in the east. Since the European Allied countries were all in the crisis of revolution and their armed forces had been demobilized for very long time, they did not interfere the "revolution" in the east. Consequently, Romanov and his National Soviet Worker's Party came into power in Soviet Russia, and the countries of the former Soviet Union were also toppled and forced to join Russia. Finally, these countries signed the Pact of Minsk, which symbolized the foundation of Commonwealth of Sovereignty. Some countries, such as Iran, voluntarily joined COS for purposes of political and economic cooperation.

### Political Shift and Remilitarization

After the Allied forces retreating from Russia, the remilitarization of this country was foreseeable. As Europa Spring swept away capitalists and traditionalists in Western Europe, Romanov swept away the ideological fundamentalists inside the National Soviet Worker's Party. To deepen the corporation with the military and the oligarchs, Romanov ordered the Ministry of National Security to massively arrest the left-wing members in the party and sent them to the labour camps in Siberia. Then, industrial capital and Big Techs grew into the dominating political power in COS. The Gosplan (a.k.a. The State Planning Committee) became the tools for the mega corporations to divide the markets and profits, and a quarter of the seats in the Highest People Representative Congress of the Commonwealth are controlled by the mega corporations.

By AW 18 (18 years after the end of the World War), Premier Romanov announced his plan about army modernisation. In the following 3 years, the CPA replaced the outdated Soviet weapon with advanced weapon developed by military-industrial complex, and the conscripted soldiers were trained in better conditions. The size of the CPA also grew rapidly. By AW 21, it had become the largest standing Army in the world, with 4.5 million standing troops in the field. In addition, COS helped quell the left-wing unrest supported by Communal Internationale in the Northern America, which improved its international image and made it possible for the future Russia-America cooperation.

### Commonwealth Expansionism

#### Invading Japan

In AW 21 (21 years after the end of the World War), COS declared war on Japan in response of Japan's refusal to return Sakhalin and Kuril Islands. CPA forces successfully conquered the demilitarized Empire of Japan after having captured all the floating fortress that are near Japanese mainland. The rule of Japanese Imperial family came to an end in AW 23, but the remnant Imperial generals and troops exiled to Southeastern Asia and formed Southeastern Regency government. Thereafter, the CPA occupied the Manchuria which had been loyal to Japan and installed a puppet government. Since the Chinese Civil War was going on, COS easily seized territories from the weak cliques.

#### Interfering Chinese Civil War

After the Battle of Shanghai, where the Imperial Marine unexpectedly landed and encircled the most elite armoured forces of the Chinese National Soviet Republic. The situation took a sudden turn and became worse for the young national Sovietism regime. People were rallying on the square of the capital, questioning the legitimacy of their government, and the intraparty leadership of Chairman Wang Liqun was also challenged. As a solid nationalist, Wang Liqun strongly believed in the importance of national unification, he would like to be defeated by the south, rather than give the country to Moscow, and his conventional plan economy policy was obviously contradicted to Romanov's economic reform. When Chairman Wang decided to send his armed forces to settle down everything, the CPA armoured forces and SACOM marched into Peiping before he gave any orders. Few days later, Wang Liqun, along with other high officials declared that they would quit their jobs, and their successors would be selected from those who were loyal to "the common cause of National Sovietism", which is undoubtedly defined by Romanov.

With a loyal government being installed in the CNSR, it symbolized that the CPA officially interfered the Chinese Civil War. And the war is no longer a war inside one nation. In the frontline, Russian, soldiers with various nationalities, including Indian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Malaysian, Japanese and Indonesian, are fighting for their cause.

## Economy

Commonwealth of Sovereignty is the second largest economy on the earth. Thanks to Romanov's reform, Russia became a capital-friendly state, in which the capitalists shared unprecedented political power with traditional politicians. In COS, Indigenous technology groups and military-industrial complex are the major powers that drive the economy. Europa Spring also contributed to the foundation of Commonwealth economy, since some European enterprises that are not willing to accept the revolution moved to the Commonwealth.

To support the development of domestic industry, COS suppresses the labour rights and trade unions. There are only state controlled unions that are fully controlled by Commonwealth authority. And the labour camps located in Siberia are widely utilized for industrial production.

## Military

The military force of COS is constituted by various branches, including the Commonwealth People's Army, National Armed Police and Collaborationist Army, etc.

### The Commonwealth People's Army

The Commonwealth People's Army (CPA) is the main military force of COS. The military doctrine of the CPA can be viewed as the combination of traditional Russian military thought and western doctrine. The CPA mainly relies on massive mobilization and armour assault tactics to defeat the enemies. But some branches that focus on air superiority and rapid development are also developed to tackle small-scale regional conflict. Like the Soviet Red Army, CPA uses both high-tech and traditional weapon in the battlefield. The main difference between the CPA and the Red Army is how each side uses military tech. The unit of CPA is often more versatile whereas the old Red Army's units are specialised for specific one purpose.

There are 4.5 million troops in military service, making it the largest standing Army on the earth. Due to the rapid aggressive expansion and political violence of COS, more and more troops are deployed on the occupied territories rather than frontline to maintain the social security. To defend the possible invasion from Communal Internationale, 1 million troops are deployed on the western front, so the Expeditionary Force in Asia is facing the problem of insufficient manpower.

The CPA also plays a critical role in COS politics. There are around 22% of representatives in the Congress standing for the benefits of the military, and they are also the supporters of aggressive expansion. On the other hand, the CPA itself is also deeply influenced by factionalism. The leader of SACOM, General Alexander Nikita, is a representative person in the right-wing faction of National Soviet Worker's Party who supports Romanov's economic and political reform and Russo-American cooperation. As the war continues, the conflict between SACOM and other CPA branches is escalating.

### National Armed Police

Usually, National Armed Police (NAP) is deployed to quell the internal unrest in COS. However, as the war continues, COS also sends NAP to the occupied territories to assist the CPA force to protect the supply line. It is also worth noting that NAP is completely loyal to Premier Romanov, so it is also regarded as the tool for Romanov to eradicate his political rivals.

### Collaborationist Army

COS also recruits the local people in the occupied territories to form collaborationist army to maintain social security. The names of collaborationist army are various, and the precise number is still unknown.

## Sub factions

Currently, there are 2 playable sub factions in Psysonic Omega. They are:

* The Commonwealth People's Army (CPA)
* Special Airforce Command (SACOM)

Each of the sub faction has unique arsenal and tech tree, and their combat style can be very different. The CPA emphasizes quantity over quality, and massive armour assault tactics, whilst SACOM focuses on rapid deployment, air dominance and base defense.
