**The Soviet Republic**, officially known as **The United Communist Countries & International Communist Parties**, is a communist nation in the Juda Federation that are comprised of surviving Soviets from Russia that have lied in wait alongside many communist parties from all over Earth. It is a nation comprised of Repcuruses, a transhuman biological race with reptilian traits while possessing insect-like power armor.

## History

Before the "Great Exodus", some members of the Chinese government along with a few surviving Soviets from Russia, claimed a ship in the Polo Flotilla while secretly sneaking aboard many communists countrymen and sympathizers and dozens of communist parties from around Earth. They all boarded the ship known as, *The Red Star of Humanity*, with the Russian captain leading them all, Capt. Vlacic Deniska Olegovich, one of the few surviving members of the Bolshevik's Red Army.

After fleeing Earth's destruction and everyone went to cryosleep while en route to Alpha Centauri, a mysterious wormhole appear that sent every single ships of the forty-two fleets into an entirely new galaxy. One particular fleet, the Polo Flotilla, ended-up somewhere in the Poseidon Galaxy. Everyone on the ships awoken to find themselves in a strange new galaxy filled with stellar phenomenon and anomalies, nebulae gases, stellar storms, The Shroud, and many unknown substances. Everyone that saw the new starry ocean were in total awe despite how dangerous it is. The people started to notice the change as their bodies started to mutate. The firsts to die from their mutation was the admiral of the entire fleet. And so, a meeting was called in for all the captains.

The meeting was headed by Captain Coronato La Fazia of *The Traveling Venetian*, who suggested that they have to alter humanity in order to survive while the probes look for a habitable spot for each of the ships of the five moons orbiting the gas giant. They all agreed. Captain Vlacic decreed that everyone must take in the DNA from the local reptiles as well as some from Earth. This include the fluidity and flexibility of the skinks, a very terrifying venom mixture of a king cobra, a pit viper, a black mamba and a cottonmouth; the camouflage capabilities of a chameleon, a powerful tail and jaw of a iguana along with some capabilities of a marine iguana such as eating algae and get rid of salt water, the adhesive abilities of a gecko and the brute strength, lung capacity and harden skin of an alligator or crocodile. The reptiles from Elegara they used were a strange part reptile-part mammal creatures such as a strange fuzzy lizard that dwell in trees, a lake-dwelling lizard that have the ability to raise its body temperature and can breath underwater, and a six-eyed large reptile that feed on metal dust in the mountains as nutrients. Thus the Repcuruses were born.

Once the probes finished, *The Red Star of Humanity* landed on the continent of Marxisia where they established the Soviet Republic as they spread communism across the land after 20 years of settling. Thanks to some green technology, they can reduce the amount of pollution when creating new factories while many are "own by the people". But in actuality, it is own by the government that enforce anti-capitalist ideals with their secret police force, the People's Police.

On 120 AL, the Soviet Republic come across a nation that is more on capitalism nation from the other side of Elegara known as, the Usonia Liberty Republic. A nation that is the polar opposite of the Soviet Republic with privatize businesses and corporations along with many old American imperialism. The two nations try to get along but enter into a cold war with both sides ready to launch their weapons of mass destruction when one tries to invade another. This was known as, the Elegara Cold War. Tensions were high with both sides attempting to outwit another.

That is until they became part of the Juda Federation that broke everything down to enforce peaceful cooperation on 200 AL. Despite they are working together now, they still don't like each other.

## Culture

The Soviet Republic has policies and ideologies based-on Marxist-Leninist policies and ideologies. It generally means that it is a one-party state dominate government with many communist ideals. However, they do support the ideals of liberal democracy since, according to many official statements, the republic is run by the people, for the people as the working class over throws all forms of capitalism. Despite that, the republic functions a bit more like like a Stalinist-Maoist form of government which the government controls all the industry, production and many more as they arm themselves to prevent any form of insurgency and promote collectivism. Which, can be a bit confusing for an outsider.

Much of the architecture is loosely based-on Russian, Korean, Cuban, Vietnamese, Lao and non-religious architecture. Although their artwork is really ugly since individual expression is not allowed.

The Soviet Republic has completely and utterly reject all forms of religion as they claim, "It is a complete and total rejection of reality and a poisonous opium to the people." However, there are some spots where the "altruism" of communism works alongside religion.

The military uses a form of power armor in the shape of insects that, like real insects, have chitinous carapaces. These exoskeletons are harden to withstand fifty caliber rounds and small explosions. It can also withstand up to 40,000 rads as well as withstand temperatures between -120 to 160°F. The helmets are designed to look similar to one native insect that have a very peculiar vision that allows them to see in the dark, detect living things while able to tell the difference between plants and animals, see ultraviolet and many more. The power armor has become the iconic symbol in the military.

## Economy

Despite being anti-capitalistic and no longer human, they are still materialistic beings that require something for their hard labor. So the only known currency is the old Soviet ruble. It is meant to "glorify" the past of communism as some sort of symbolism with the symbol of the phoenix as tails for the coins.

The Soviet Republic require a great deal of industry with factories producing every tool needed to keep the nation flowing. Parts for guns for the army, vehicles needed for transport and other industrial needs, equipment for agriculture and research, and so on and so forth.

There are no corporations or privatization in the Soviet Republic.

## Politics

The Council of Ministers and the Supreme Council, along with the Premier have supreme authority of the entire republic. Much of it is based-on the original Soviet policies with an exception of a few that involve ensuring favorable external conditions conducive to building communism in the Soviet Republic, eliminating the threat of war, disarmament, strengthening the world socialist system (later galactic), eradication of any and all forms of capitalism, rapid yet green industrialization; collectivization of agriculture, mining, research and technological development, industry, power and electricity, transportation, and many more; and equal rights for all. They do follow much of the Marxist-Leninist policies, but instead of a dictatorship, it is more of a democratic society. However, some say that the military controls much of it with their own views of Stalinist-Maoist policies, which makes politics in the Soviet Republic confusing.

The People's Police ensure that there are no rebellions, rioting or any sort of revolution in the Soviet Republic. All traitors are meant with a swift end at their hands.

## Trivia
