Russia(Earth Three)

Russia on Earth 3, underwent a transformation into a Capitalist nation and then expanded into the United Capitalist Confederacies of Russia(U.C.C.R).

Currency: Doveryat.

Motto: Companies of the World. Buy and Sell!

National Anthem: Flag of my Country(in contrast to "The Star Spangled Banner").

## **Money**

The main currency of the Doveryat Partnership is the Dolble. Long, thick, strips of silver or gold with small gouges, hence the name, in them the bottom of each to determine their value. A method that is quite modern on this Earth and designed to replace to old coinage method of centuries past. Like the Amerikan dollar The Russian Double has swapped currency symbols from OTL, hence the flag. Its lesser currency is the Mechka, based on the Russian word for Sword, Mech.

## **Government**

While the country has a democratically elected President, chosen indirectly by the people and by the Prime Doveryat, they are, in reality, a figurehead. In truth, the affairs of the country, Administration, Military, Law, Civil Service, Production, Power, Transport, Construction, Food, Farming, Banking, Communications, Healthcare, Hospitals, Water, Internet, Entertainment, etc, are owned and controlled by a small handful of, in total, 10 Mega-Corporations that are the true rulers of the State. These Megacos, as they are known, are responsible for the running of the nation, with their place of mutual power being the Kremlin Stock Exchange in Moskow. Their main goal in running the country is, according to the tenants of Marxist Capitalism, to profit themselves and their businesses. Each one competes for the most influence over the state. If a soft drink company was to gain control of the water supply in one region, it would be an absolute certainty that they would replace said water with one of their products for a week as a promotional stunt. If a powerful Movie Studio were to own an airline in another region, it would make sure that only its movies were shown, if they had a fast-food company promoting them, they would have it so only their food was served on the flights. Company Towns and Company Cities are an extremely common occurrence and all the aforementioned industries fluctuate from company to company throughout the year. Most In the days of Bronstein, this allowed the corporate Treasury to print and produce, not only a surplus of Dolbles, but paper money as well, leading to inflation, leading to higher prices which ultimately made the tycoons that owned the country wealthier, both the crisis mysteriously ''stopped'' and money became stable again.

## **History**

Karl Spotts(Marx) in this world was, in many ways, like OTL's Ayan Rand and created the OTL "The Capitalist Manifesto", primarily because Spotts despised what he viewed as the ''inefficiencies'' of Both Militarism and Communism in the western world and wanted to envision and create a new system that would benefit management. To Spotts, workers and Unions were Parasitic to the economy and to the world. For the brain to keep money and, above all else, to keep money, to see the virtues of selfishness and the sins of the humanitarian was the key. to chase one's own property was crucial to a better moral standard of living.

In the days of World War I in the timeline of Earth -Three, Russia was on the side of the Military Federation of Germany (What TTL's Victorian Era had in abundance in place of Empires. Think of them as Wide-Spread Military Dictatorships.) during the initial conflict. However, with the breakout of the Russian Revolution on the 9th of February, 1917, which lead to the exile of Field-Marshal Romanoff's Family and the establishment of the Russian: Doveryat Republican Corporatocratic Confederacy, lost its most important ally and was soon overcome and defeated by the Entente in 1918. By the early 20s, the Doveryat Partnership had been firmly established as the largest nation on Earth.

It was Pavel Miliukov, Charman and CEO of Rech Publishing Co, LTD that became the first-ever Corporate Ruler of the PDCC in 1917. His tenure was brief, but ultimately set the standard for the Megaco run country that the Doveryat Partnership would inevitably become. After his death in 1924, the country fell under the influence of Menshevik International, owned and operated by CEO, Lev Bronstein. Bronstein's advocating for an ''Eternal Purchase'', which would see Capitalist Revolutions spring up across the globe and the formation of the Nippon-Doveryat Truce of Mutual Profit in 1950, as It was Japan on this world that would have a revolution over China, which, after the end of WWII would exchange Military Dictatorship for a Communist, Amerikan styled government. The old Communal Japanese Government would flee to South Korea where they remain to this day.

The Blue Scare of the 50s and 60s was obviously just as bad, if not worse in Amerika during the immediate post-war period, as the Red Scare was for us. With Bronstein's ''Eternal Purchase'' now part of National Policy, the various corporate owners of the Army, Navy, Marines, Spy Corps and so on, were dispatched to several foreign lands in order to spread the doctrine of Corporatocracy. Throughout the 50s and 60s, the combined forces of the London Pledge, fought valiantly against the forces of EABL (The Eurasian Bargain League.), with Tensions thawing out in the 70s and going back to worse in the 80s. In the Beginning, with the Loss of the Diamond Age Heroes such as The Law Bureau of Earth and their various allies having disappeared following the Anti-Capitalist witchhunts of the People's Jury of Un-Amerikan Actions, times were hard, and it wasn't until the establishment of the Horde of Wonder that things returned to normalcy morale wise.

Instead of dying out in the early 90s, as akin to OTL, the Doveryat Partnership managed to endure, even to this day. Meaning that the Cold war on Earth -Three, while thawed out, for the most part, is still ongoing.
