The USSR

**The United Sadie Stan Republic**, or **The USSR** for short, was a country that is now defunct, due to being split into many smaller nations after Lyra Blevins was elected president. Superstitious nomads believe the country to be cursed, along with all those who set foot there.

### Government

- Ghost Pechali (President)- Noëlle Zvezda (Govt. Official)- Lorelai Axit (Govt. Official)

## Name

The United Sadie Stan Republic takes its name from one of its ex-rulers, Chancellor Sadie, who had such a successful and prosperous time in power that when looking for a name for the nation, it was decided her ideals were reflective of the best the country had to offer, and a name singing her praise was the best idea possible. In later years, people came to associate the name with the character Sadie from the popular novel series Total Drama, co-written by Cyan O’Genic and Andrei Warrior. This became something of an inside joke amongst the teenagers living in The USSR, and at one point was even reflected by the flag, making use of the Total Drama character Leshawna. When making a modern name for The USSR, Mauve Zvezda admitted to just adding “United” in front because United States of Canada did the same, and it sounded official.

## History

From the moment the world was made (after Liife and Goofball’s powers collided), the two deities took interest in The USSR, being the fastest developing country. Liife thought it a shame that such a beautiful community would be destined to collapse eventually. Goofball could not care less if he tried. Enamored, they took the form of organic beings and made lives for themselves. One fateful day on May 14th 17xx, The United Sadie Stan Republic, which at this point was a rather small unnamed micronation, was founded by Bongo and a small group of his friends, a few of which wielded strange abilities and powers which allowed them to manipulate aspects of the world around them. People with powers like this would become known as Dungeon Masters, a term first coined here.

After a while, the Dungeon Masters formed the Dungeon Masters’ Council, spearheaded by Liife. With this council, all of the Dungeon Masters in the USSR could organise and communicate ideas more clearly. However, the Dungeon Master with the Fear aspect, named Violet, felt isolated as a result of this council’s formation, as she felt her opinions were never valued and they never took her seriously. She felt the only way she would be recognised was by using her powers for evil, and so she trapped dozens of innocent citizens in a killing game for days on end. After the winners came out, and the game was done, Dungeon Masters were outlawed by Bongo and the Fear aspect became a very secretive sect of Dungeon Mastery. Many Dungeon Masters had to go into hiding, and for a long time prejudice against those with powers was very common. Violet in particular became a wanted fugitive of the law, becoming one of the most wanted criminals internationally, as globalisation began to take place.

After many years as ruler, Bongo eventually had to hand down his crown to a successor, and another to another, and eventually the crown fell to Mauve Zvezda. Mauve was a kind and caring ruler, even during political scandals such as Scarabgate. Upon meeting and befriending one of her poorer citizens, Noëlle, through unknown circumstances, Mauve took them in and gave them a home. Mauve introduced the Ministers Of Democracy (Or MOD) political system, in which anybody could apply to join her in decision making for the country, and she would choose a select few each year if she believed they’d be a valuable asset.

Soon after Mauve was coronated, Cyan O’Genic moved into the kingdom with his dream of joining the MODs, and was immediately greeted by Mauve and one of the kingdom’s soldier generals and democratic ministers, Crove Zanoschivost, who almost immediately enlisted her into the army. Cyan, along with the rest of the Sadian Army, would go on to fight in the Dawn Raid, a long and tiresome battle against the Sublands, in which The USSR came out victorious. This was just the beginning, however, as later on there would also be a Mal Raid, as well as the ROWT Raid, which aimed to spread false information in order to catch the Sublands off guard. The king of the Sublands faction, Ace, agreed to sign a peace treaty, but in return requested that the USSR stop using violence against other countries as a whole. Ace would soon become good friends with many citizens and leaders of the USSR alike, growing a long-lasting bond with Nico Lyagushka and his Goth Girlfriend Squad.

After all of that was said and done there was another brief recess of peace. Cyan settled down to start a family with the love of his life, Wood Shand, and their little boy Rolf. Mauve also decided to adopt Noëlle and a handful of their close friends at this time, those being Cakewalker, Lorelai (Noëlle’s twin from birth) and Codykins. During this period there was an influx of new people who wished to settle down in this land. Key figures would be Ghost Pechali (Son of a fire Dungeon Master), Val (An important aristocrat from a far away island) and Khado Glavar (An admirable ringleader). However, peace can only last so long, and as such The Exploration Era began.

One inhabitant of The USSR, the pioneer Adelaide Inc woke up and decided Danganronpa should be a country. This led many others in The USSR to go out and explore the world, discovering new countries. One of the MODs, Ghost Pechali, started the Phantemperor Nation nearby so that he may still remain in power in The USSR. Noëlle discovered the remains of Assholand, what seemed to be a defunct prison island, and claimed it as the USSR’s. Janju uncovered the Levantine Luxury. Cakewalker also claimed to have uncovered “Weebistan” before the island was sunk to the bottom of the ocean, being repeatedly blown up and stabbed by Ghost, and then being replaced by the artificially built Phantemperor Nation. The Phantemperor nation quickly became the fastest growing empire ever seen in the world after The USSR, amassing over 1000 citizens over the course of just a month or so, with heads of the military and engineering forces. This was in part thanks to Ghost advertising it as a new start, where anything is possible, and in part thanks to his practise of kidnapping innocent Sadian citizens and forcing them to live within The Phantempire.

This era of exploration left The USSR with significantly less inhabitants than before, leaving it vulnerable. A lone group of pirates noticed this and decided to capitalise. It all started with one of the members of the Teardrop Islands’ Pirate Raiders Clan going undercover pretending to be one of The USSR’s MODs using an illegally crafted nought mask, an accessory that allows somebody to shapeshift, being rude to others around town and fellow MODs too. This was deemed as highly suspicious by the MOD team, and they kept a lookout for any further suspicious behaviour. This manifested itself in the form of a public announcement stating a time and day as a warning for The USSR and her allied factions (Phantemperor Nation, Levantine Luxury, etc.) that they would be invading their land and causing mass destruction. This was especially bad as one of their main focuses was Assholand, the prison in which they kept any soon-to-be-executed or exiled individuals. The inhabitants of the USSR, however, mocked them and did not take this warning seriously, gearing themselves up with childish pirate outfits and mimicking their accents as a sign of mockery. The Pirates cancelled their raid shortly after, claiming they had other lands to focus on first. There was uproar among the citizens who were looking forward to another combat, believing it would be impossible for them to lose. The Pirates agreed to a compromise, promising to come back at a later date. This later date never came

Someone by the name of Hailey stumbled into the front gates of the Mauvine Kingdom, USSR, distraught. They bore bad news, that the Pirates didn't plan to invade the USSR at all and were just attempting to distract them from bigger problems by giving them a false sense of security. They’d never suspect a small faction made up of a measly ~10 people could ever be a threat to them. They also revealed that they were the people behind the previous MOD’s identity theft and targeted them for being “The most powerful in the country”. The authorities thanked Hailey and took immediate action, waging war on the Teardrop Islands, breaking their peace treaty with Ace and losing his trust in the process. The fight was slow to begin with but the USSR was ultimately victorious. After this war, the pirate Tri Fortnite was left behind and enlisted into the MOD team as a form of community service.

Later on, Noëlle grew dissatisfied with the state of The USSR and began a public political speech on the matter. Reese, confused, believed Noëlle meant Canada while she was referring to the USSR, and got defensive. After a long debate, Reese formed the Divorce Party (Saint, Reese, Adelaide, Lorelai) to fight against the Tyranny Party (Noëlle, Cyan, Kai, Ema). After a week or so of waiting, it was announced that Tyranny Party won the election of 2020.

Noëlle gave a public speech detailing their aspirations for the nation. She stated she wanted everyone who openly opposed them gone, and mass chaos caused throughout the land. They also removed any power that any previous MODs had, and booted any citizens they deemed “redundant” saying if they really wanted to contribute something to this country’s great history, they could go out of their way and find a way back in. Most notably, she exiled all the former MODs, including those who were in her own party. While these officials were in exile, they were almost all under the command of Kai in the remote island of Paingola, plotting their revenge on Noëlle. However, after a while Noëlle knew something was wrong. They gave one final public speech, describing how they hate being in power and that they were destined for far less. She stepped down and handed the role of overlord to Ema.

One day, suddenly, Ema’s appointed second in command, Red Kitty, stated her desire to overthrow Ema and start a second election.

They overthrew Ema and held a proper election, which placed the Invasion Party in power (consisting of Ghost, Lorelai and Noëlle). Nonetheless, Ghost was generally disliked, and Red leads a revolution with the general public against him, which quickly devolves into a violent riot that causes Ghost to lose another life. The villages were pretty much unsalvageable and by then, almost everyone had moved over to the newly formed Polish Penguin Republic (The PPR) led by Rolf. The only people still remaining in the USSR were Ghost’s political party. Unfortunately, in bad timing, Kai and the exiled MODs showed up with their army of Paingolan warriors just as everyone had fled and, blinded by rage, Kai murdered Noëlle, blaming everything on her. Kai was distraught that the country they’d spent their whole life working for was a pile of rubble, and decided to try and rebuild it from the ground up, reopening the mines for the MODs to use to make money trading with other countries. Unfortunately this quickly turned into a poorly thought out apocalyptic system where the MODs would have to hope and pray they got enough gems from mining to pay for a meal.

In the time between this and the election of 2022, Kai and the mods end up rebuilding The USSR from the ground up, with the help of Paingolan construction workers and materials offered by Moldy Burger. Additionally, an outlaw going by many names (Ava, Mezuko, Mittens, Kitty, Melody, etc.) showed up around The USSR occasionally, performing great acts of thievery, before moving to Leonardland. It is speculated her home country may have been Teardrop Islands, though there is little evidence backing this up and it’s likely solely based on stereotypes of Teardrop Islanders. With the new reformation of The USSR, many faces both old and new were drawn into the country. One of these faces is a cult leader, Noah Box. Kai announced that to show their anti-tyranny message loud and clear, they’re going to hold the third annual USSR presidential election.

When the election of 2022 comes around, The Homophobia Party wins, run by Lyra Blevins; her first order of business is to dissolve the nation by selling plots of land as small countries to anybody willing to pay enough. She sells the majority of the land that once made up The USSR, completely changing the map and making them the most wealthy person on it. From this point on, The USSR was no longer a country. It is occasionally used as a shorthand way of referring to all the countries on that landmass, but legally it is meaningless.

## Geography

The USSR was the coldest country on the map, almost constantly snowing, with little variation in its weather cycle. It was neighbour to the Polish Penguin Republic and Assholand. It had a very rocky terrain, with lots of mountains in certain areas. It is notable for being the only country in which dewberries can grow naturally.

## Culture

### Architecture

The USSR, in its prime, prided itself on its traditionalism in many aspects, including the way most if not all buildings were simple cabins made with wood, clay and vines.

### Literature

The USSR is where books such as Dungeon Masters: A Comprehensive Guide, Harley’s Cautionary Tales and Total Drama: World Tour were written.
