Soviet Union

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also known as the Soviet Union, usually called the USSR, was a country on GlobeMC located in Eastern Europe and Northern and Central Asia, with many towns scattered across the world. The country was made up of numerous Soviet Socialist Republics, known as SSRs. While the country appeared at first glance to be a Socialist Republic, it was in fact an Absolute Monarchy with Pip as it's Emperor, who converted the Latvian Empire into a Communist Monarchy. While elections for local party officials did happen, the top of the Executive Branch was the Emperor, who could veto any and all decisions, although Pip barely executed this power. Pip's 5 Year Plans converted the Latvian Empire from a poorly advanced, small eastern European state, into the largest nation on the server. Riga would become one of the largest cities in eastern Europe, and would expand across the barren Russia.

As Russia started to decline in resources to defend against a Tuscan invasion, the government started to get more authoritarian (although not to the level the United States became), crushing independence uprisings in Poland and Lithuania.

After entering the Great War, Pip was able to mobilize the military very quickly and began to conquer Europe. Despite being real world enemies, the USA and USSR were very close allies and managed to work together during the war.

Pre-Fallout History
The nation initially was formed as the Latvian Empire by Pip, then the Livonian Order, before joining the Teutonic Order, Komet, and Germany. Eventually, after expanding and shrinking, Pip found a book written by a villager named Karl Marx and decided to use his beliefs combined with his monarchy. Using this, the USSR was founded. Many towns in the nation were established and it became the largest nation. In addition, the Soviets entered a cold war with the nation of Tuscany.

The Polish-Lithuanian Uprising and first End Crystals
On December 31st, 2019, Krakow and Kaunas both declared the formation of an independent Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. After a month long conflict known as the Polish Lithuanian Uprising, Pip was able to crush the rebels by the use of a new super weapon made by Soviet Scientists known as an End Crystal. The use of these End Crystals shocked the world and other nations rushed to make their own.

The Great Campaign
While fighting against Tuscan forces, the Soviets began to occupy and annex much of Europe in the process. First, they annexed Crimea and then marched into Ukraine/Kievan Rus, who were annexed into the USSR. Soviet forces then moved south into the Balkans and annexed Yugoslav, Romanian, Bulgarian, and Greek lands. Taking Greece dealt a blow to the Tuscan forces, as it was a major city of theirs.

Eventually, Soviet forces had marched into the neutral France, Netherlands, and Germany, and had annexed all 3 of them, mostly to take their industry and force them to produce for the war.
