The **Union of Soviet Socialist Republics** (**USSR**), or the **Soviet Union** is a one party socialist republic in Europe and Asia. The nation covers many parts of Eastern Europe and Asia. Its largest city is Moscow, which is the largest city on the server in terms of built land. In addition, Riga, the 2nd largest city in terms of builds, is also in the nation. Other notable cities include Kiev, Tallinn, Minsk and Leningrad.

On the international stage, the Soviet Union is a leading power, being the 2nd most populated nation as of 6/16/20, and has fought in Fag War I, the Galactic Republic Conflict, and the Holy War of Turkey. The Red Army is one of the largest military forces in the world and has bases in the Soviet Union and Poland (Co-run with Polish forces)

## Geography

### Physical Geography

The **Soviet Union** is a country in far northern Asia and Eastern Europe. It has Deserts, Plains, Taigas, Tundras, Mountains, Islands, Lakes, Rivers, and some Colonies, notably **Rhineland** and **Soviet Alaska** (later dropped)

### Qing Dispute

The dispute with the **Qing Empire** was over the position of the city of Vladivostok. The **Soviet Union** claimed the coast of the Sea of Japan down to Vladivostok, and the Qing Empire claimed Greater Manchuria. A compromise was reached where the Soviet Union got northern Manchuria so that it could build parts of the Trans Siberian Railroad.

This dispute was brought up again once the nation of Transamur was created by The\_Public. The Qing and Soviet leaders are expected to meet soon to solve the dispute.

### Polish Dispute

The dispute with **Poland** was over the Baltic region. Poland claimed that the border went south at Riga and then went along the Neman River. The **Soviet Union** claimed the the Baltic States territory as part of the Soviet Union. A compromise was reached where the Riga was allowed to extend farther to the West, and the border would follow a dense forest, head straight down to the Danube, where it would eventually intersect with the Ottoman border.

Eventually, Pip had purchased west Latvia from Poland and has promptly expanded. Ironically enough, Poland began to fall afterwards and it is very likely at Polish lands will be turned into a Soviet Satellite State

### Occupation of Berlin and the GDR

On May 28th, 2020, Berlin became occupied by Soviet forces. Eventually, the German Workers' Party was given control of the land and the German Democratic Republic was established. This state was largely seen as a puppet state of the USSR during its short history.

## Politics

The **Soviet Union** functions on the principles of Communism. Everyone works together to make the nation stronger.

### Objectives

The objectives of the **Soviet Union** are:

* Spread Communism ☭
* Connect all parts of the Soviet Union with a Rail Network
* Produce Gold
* Secure Borders
* Impress others with magnificent displays

## History

### Pre-Gaia History

The Soviet Union's history can be traced back to before GaiaMC, as on a previous server known as GlobeMC, Pip lead a large version of the Soviet Union. At one point, they were the largest nation on the server and had control of Poland, the Baltics, Russia, Finland, Pennsylvania, Central Asia, and even parts of Africa. Upon the shutdown of Globe, the country obviously fell apart.

### The Growth of the Nation

Eventually, Lenin creates Moscow and the Soviet Union is founded. Later, Pip returns to Minecraft after being offered the role of Admin on GaiaMC, and he decides to form Riga again. For a few days, the nation known as "Soviet Latvia" is founded, but eventually, Pip decides to join the Soviet Union, since he knew DukieJr and Lenin from GlobeMC.

### Rising Conflicts with the Galactic Republic

One Day, Qwikkspell/Darklord1980 started messing with Lenin, and the 2 began fighting. This brought rising tensions between the 2 nations, however, Pip was friends with many Galactic Republic citizens and attempted to prevent war.

### The Great Gaia War

Unfortunately, Pip was unable to stop the 2 and the rivalry became another piece of the Great Gaia War. The Soviet Union had to fight against Australia, Galactic Republic, and Yugoslavia, which all made up the Entente. The Entente showed up to Moscow but no battle occurred there.

### The Interim Government

The war was arguably a disaster for the Soviet Union. It seemed the Entente was going to win. Lenin also was sick of Qwikk, so he decided to take a break from GaiaMC. Since he was the leader of the Soviet Union, he had to give someone else the position while he was on break. He chose Pip, either due to the fact he was in charge of Globe's USSR or because he was the only other General online. Pip got to work with his 2 step program immediately, which were.

1. Withdraw from the war. Pip's friendship with the Entente leaders meant that he was able to bring the USSR out of the war without any sort of cost.
2. Bring new players onto the server and get them to join the nation. With Pip's net worth estimated around 2,000 gold, this project will not be difficult.

Despite leaving the war, during the Battle of Melbourne, Pip was attacked by Whomsty and nearly died. Pip had continued to observe battles in the war despite this risk.

### End of the Interim Government, Pripryat Conflict, and the Soviet Constitution

Shortly after the 1st Interim Government pulled out of the Fag War/Great Gaia War, Lenin returned and Pip returned top control to him. After this, the Soviets were in a state of peace, gaining more towns and not having to fight with the Galactic Republic. However, the Fag War/Great Gaia War eventually ended, and the Galactic Republic returned to messing around with Lenin in no time, deciding to claim right near Kiev, in the town of Pypriat. The staff was divided on whether or not it was claimblocking, but eventually concluded that it wasn’t close enough to be a claimblock. This continues to be divisive currently.

After this, Pip realized something - the Soviet Union didn’t have a constitution. On April 21st, Pip decided to write one, and during a ceremony in Moscow, the Politburo formally signed it into law.

### Solution of Pripyat Conflict

The Pripyat Conflict came to an end upon the dissolution of BladeeCity. BladeeCity was one of the three towns which made connecting claims in Pripyat. The dissolution of the town meant that the sector with 95% of the structures was now in unclaimed land. Lenin swiftly swooped in and carefully deconstructed the entire sector and fixing the landscape. Once the other 2 sectors fall, the entire region will be claimed by Kiev, and a massive monument will be constructed to commemorate the end of the Conflict.

### Rise of the 2nd Interim Government and Fall of Solaris

After the formation of the German Democratic Republic, Vohki has managed to muddy Solaris’ relations with the Soviets by convincing Harpy to join Solaris. This, combined with the Qing-Soviet border dispute, nearly broke out in war, but Lenin formally declared Pip as General Secretary of a 2nd Interim Government. Afterwards, Solaris had continued to break Soviet agreements, and as a result, the UN Report on Solaris was released. This indirectly caused Vohki to quit and for Solaris to collapse and dissolve under the pressure of a joint Cools-Soviet Invasion.

### The 2nd Constitution

In Mid-June of 2020, a new and 3rd Interim Government was established, again lead by Pip. This Government was tasked with writing a new constitution, known as the June Constitution. This constitution permitted a multi-party, bicameral, unitary republic. In addition, a monarch was established, with Pehps as Tsar, although his power is limited.

### Holy War of Turkey and the Kostantiniyye Conference

After the Albanian Crisis, the Soviets and Ottomans had aligned themselves with each other. This alliance had strengthened when the United States annexed parts of Iraq and Kuwait. This annexation resulted in the Holy War of Turkey, in which the Eastern Powers of the USSR, Ottoman Empire, and Mughal Empire faced off against American Forces to kick the US out of Ottoman Lands. After LargerGrunt166 managed to snatch the United States Armor Reserve, the US military collapsed, resulting in a total Eastern Powers victory, while a power vacuum in Northeast America as well. This was resolved at the Kostantiniyye Conference, a post-war conference to discuss the fate of the USA, New York, and the status of the Eastern Powers.

## Projects

The **Soviet Union** is heavily focused on massive projects to facilitate communist life. There are some projects that the **USSR** is working on, but these projects are Top-Secret, and are protected by the **KGB**.

### Trans-Siberian Railway

The **USSR** has created, and is improving the Trans-Siberian Railway, to astronomically increase the ease of East-West travel across the nation. The Trans-Siberian Railway goes through the Nether, taking advantage of the 1:8 travel rate in the Nether. The main trade-off for going through the nether is danger. This is why the railway is going to be self-contained.
