The Socialist Empire of TheRussianFederation is a large, safe nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its intelligent population are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The national animal is the fox and its currency is the ruble.

The History of TheRussianFederation

The NeoRoman Civil war

Following the emergence of the "Russian Renaissance," a steady yet slow decline in loyalty to the Augustus family in NeoRome begins to develope within the people. It's during this era that a man named Nicholas Eugenius( great-grandson of Leo Eugenius) assumes the Director's position of the secret NeoRoman police force of the Obsidian Order. It seems that the Obsidian has still been operating within the nation though it was thought to have been disbanded as far back as the era of Remus Augustus. As well as being director of the Obsidian, Nicholas is also appointed advertisor to NeoCaesar Julius Augustus II. The NeoCaesar is aware of his people's unrest with his family and trusts in Nicholas advise when it comes to why and how things can be changed for the better. It is because of the NeoCaesar's great trust in Nicholas that he is able to turn the NeoCaesar against the Imperial Senate of which is headed by the Russian Heritage Party at this time. He made the NeoCaesar believe that the Imperial Senate was working to deminish all his powers and turn the people against him in their secret plans to conquer the nation. All the while, Nicholas uses an agent of the Obsidian, who has been appointed Governor of the Noricum province, to warn the Imperial Senate of the NeoCaesar's growing distrust and make them believe that he is working to disband the Senate completely. It is because of this information that the Imperial Senate begins to pass laws limiting the NeoCaesar's power. Nicholas uses these laws as evidence to the NeoCaesar of the Imperial Senate's decete. Believing Nicholas, NeoCaesar Julius II has the Impeiral Senate arrest on treason and disbands the Imperial Senate completely. The Imperial Senate is taken to prison where after being contacted by the obsidian agent, makes their escape to his province. It is there that the Governor infroms the Grand Senators of The Red Army. The Red Army itself is what is left of the Soldiers of the Czar which centuries ago fought against the Russia government to take the nation. It is also revealed that These events ignite a civil war putting those loyal to the NeoCaesar (The Loyalists) against those who believe in the NeoRome Republic, which the Imperial Senate plans to build (The Republicans). As both factions fight amongst themselves Nicholas In the closing weeks of the civil war, Nicholas devises a plan to set fire to the entire nation and it works. In the chaos which the fire brings, Nicholas has the NeoCaesar assassinated and the Imperial Senate murdered. With no one to oppose him and the people looking for leadership Nicholas declares himself the new ruler. Nicholas vows to his people to rebuild the nations from the NeoRoman ashes into the greatest power Europe will ever see. He says that it is time the people return to their roots and so he declares himself the first Tsar of the new nation of TheRussianFederation. With this act TheNeoRomanEmpire dies and TheRussianFederation, or by some just simply Russia, is born.
