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

Origins of Nicholas Augustus/Eugenius Kozintsev

Nicholas Kozintsev III is the Great-Grandson of Leo Eugenius and Alexandria Augustus. He was conceived between the two after a one-night stand. It was due to this pregnacy that NeoCaesar Alexandria remand out of the poblic eye for so many months. Knowing that if the child (a boy) was ever found, she would lose her title and sovereign rights, Alexadnria had the boys taken away in secret by a trusted aid. The aid was instructed to kill the child, however falling in love with it, she ended up keeping it for herself. The aid it would turn out, was the daughter of a man whose ancestry dates back all the way to the Soldiers of the Czar. It is discovered that the Soldiers have been living in the country side far to the east of NeoRome for years ever since settling their with their Czar. The Czar himself, died many years ago, however the Soldier who had now formed a small farming community in the area remained. The aid raises the boy there as Nicholas Kozintsev. After the boys comes of age, they tell him of his true past. He grows a profound hatred for his mother for this reason which he passed down to his son Nicholas II who in turn passes it to Nicholas the III. It is Nicholas the III who takes it upon himself to return to NeoRome to discover what had happen to his Great-Grandparents. It is NeoRome that he discoveries his Great-Grandfathers fate and of his dealings with the Obsidian Order. It is after a few years of searching that Nicholas III discovers that the Obsidian is still operating within NeoRome though it was thought to have been disbanded as far back as the era of Remus Augustus. Nicholas joins up and after several years of service, when Nicholas is about 28, he is promoted to director of the Obsidian.

Russian Renaissance

It is as director that Nicholas Kozintsev III uses the Obsidian to begin the "Russian Renaissance," an era where NeoRomes begin to revert back to their Russian culture. Many NeoRomans legally change their family names back to their ancestrial Russian ones. It is an easy time for the Obsidian to influence the people because of the steady yet slow decline in loyalty to the Augustus family in NeoRome which had its beginnings as far back as Romulus Augusts. It is also because of Nicholas adn the Russian Renaisannce that the Russian Heritage Party is able to win the Imperial Senate for the first time in the nations history. Following the emergence of the "Russian Renaissance," NeoCaesar Julius Augustus II appoints an advisor to help him understand the people and regain their loyality and trust. Using his now profound political ties, Nicholas (of whom is secretly the NeoCaesar's cousin) get the position of Advisor. It is also during this time that Nicholas uses his political power to have Yakov Protazanov voted Governor of the Noricum province.

Pre-NeoRoman Civil war

Deperate to regain his people's trust, NeoCaesar Julius Augustus III relies solely on Nicholas Kozintsev III and his advise as to how things can be changed to help the NeoCaesar regain his people's trust. It is because of the NeoCaesar's great trust in Nicholas that he is able to turn the NeoCaesar against the Imperial Senate. Nicholas gets the NeoCaesar to believe that the Imperial Senate is the cause of the Russian Renaissance itself and that it is all apart of asecret plan to conquer the nation.

All the while Nicholas uses Governor Yakov Protazanov (an agent of the Obsidian) to warn the Imperial Senate of the NeoCaesar's growing distrust and make them believe that he is working to disband the Senate completely. Acting on this information 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 they are freed by Governor Protazanov and makes their escape to the Noricum province. It is there that the Governor infroms the Grand Senators that several factions with in military are willing to aid them in their cause. Convinced that war is their only option, The Grand Senators declare themselves a seceded body, The NeoRoman Republic and formally declare war on the Empire .

The NeoRoman Civil War

The NeoRoman civil war divies tha nation tino two factions: Those loyal to the NeoCaesar (The Loyalists), and Those who believe in the NeoRome Republic(The Republicans). The military is completely divided with some fighting for the Republic and those still loyal to the NeoCaesar. It is during this time, with the entire military fighting amongst themselves that Nicholas is able to sneak in the Red Army, the new incarnation of the Soldiers of the Czar. Nicholas uses the Red Army to assassinate both the NeoCaesar and the Imperial Senate.

It is at this time that the Quaon government steps in to end the bloodshed of the civil war. With both major factions now without leaders, the Quaon government has little choice but to allow Nicholas and the Red Army to assume full sovereign right of the Nation. The people of NeoRome are overwhelming pleased with the outcoming because of Nicholas's promise to return the land back to it's ancestrial beginnings.

The Russian Federation is born

After being assured their sovereignty over the nation by the Quaon government, Nicholas vows to his people to rebuild the nations into the greatest power Europe will ever see. He uses this new age to reform the Communist Russian Party With this act TheNeoRomanEmpire dies and TheRussianFederation, or by some just simply Russia, is born.
