We are basically the entirety of the Russian East Coast and Siberia(basically, we own everything past the Urals). We also own Mongolia, everything past the Aral Sea in Kazakhstan, and Sinkiang in China. We also have territory in Manchuria stretching all the way to Dailan and into the peninsula across that, and we have the North Korean east coast for ports, final pieces of territory include the Inner Mongolian Aut. Territory in what is China in our timeline, Cheju island in what is Korea in our timeline, and Shanghai. This nation has the “What if Vladivostok isn’t a summer port but an all year port?” scenario. Please do note most of our territory is tundra.
Due to the religion of Cthulhism, which is our state religion, demanding for supportable population growing, and forbidding divorce, homosexuality, abortion, and contraceptives(which THEY think, mind you), as well as allowing children as young as 13 to yknow, as long as it can be supported, this allows for a massive population of almost 2 billion, with a more accurate number being 1,871,988,101 Ruskland-Preubenr and counting. They are mostly concentrated in Kazakhstan, the south of the West Siberian Plain, the Lena river, the coast by the Sea of Japan, and Manchuria. Food was a problem, until someone came up with the genius idea of growing it in the underground with artificial sunlight, and now most food comes from underground facilities located by seismically inactive areas. This of course, leads to a mastery of underground construction, and many cities have entire parts of them located in the underground.
Economy is in coal, coal, coal, and uranium, plus a lot of wood and fish. We practically own the coal market now. And we use coal power plants, as these give a greenhouse effect and thus will heat up the tundra, allowing more surface farms.
PMT military with a lot of late MT as well. The entire Air Force has been replaced with drones controlled from submarine drone stations, as well as some aircraft carriers. The navy is mostly submarines and missile cruisers, and a couple aircraft carriers. The army is well trained, and adding religious fanaticism in the mix does wonders to the quality of troops, the size of the army is about 8 million.
The Ruskland-Preubenr have always been interested in the home of their gods, and dreamed of touching them one day. Scientific ingenuity and a lot of funding made this dream possible, and rockets capable of space flight were around already in the 1920s, manned flights were achieved in 1944, and ICBMs were created in 1953. And right now, please do not tempt the massive rocket arsenal.
And it’s time to post I guess.
