Since the early 1980's, notably under the reigns of Yuri Andropov and Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet Union has seen a lot of domestic reform, which continued under the Presidency of Gennady Zyuganov. Retaining a controversial 'democratic one-party state' and being commonly slurred or accused of troublemaking in the European Parliament, the country has been seen commonly withdrawing its representatives before the parliament and threatening with sanctions. Domestic reform continues, and even today, there are debates in the bicameral legislative body of the country, the Supreme Soviet, concerning the 'admittance of domestic opposition factions in the parliament' as labelled by Soviet leaders - or, in other words, opposition parties.

The country's history is slightly different from the real-life's USSR. In 1991, a civil war erupted between nationalists and communists. The war came at its height when Mikhail Gorbachev resigned in December 1991 and the Soviet Flag got down from the Kremlin in 1992.
 
 
Then, a military coalition among the most loyal communist generals of the country was formed, and managed to march from Omsk to Moscow, recapturing it in May 1992. Gorbachev was temporarily restored in power until August, when Presidential and Governmental elections took place. In those elections [[Manos Nikolopoulos|Marshal Manos Nikolopoulos]], war hero from the civil war, became President with 59% of the people's support. In 1994 he was named President for Life after a poll was set up by the premier.
 
 
==Armed Forces==
 
The Soviet Armed Forces are some of the most numerous worldwide, and cover 1.99% of the Soviet Population. There are a total of 31.6 million troops, and are distributed as following:
 
* 6.446 million are in the '''Army'''
 
* 2.178 million are in the '''Black Guard'''
 
* 1.865 million are in the '''Navy'''

* 1.679 million are in the '''Air Force'''
 
* 1.261 million are in the '''Strategic Forces'''
 
* 900 thousand are in the '''Space Force'''
 
The country also has 210,000 nuclear warheads, with a minimum of 80 Megaton power, and more than 1.5 million strategic missiles.
 
 
==Alliances==
 
USSR is allied to [http://www.freewebs.com/nsyugoslavia/ Yugoslavia], Mongolia and Germany, and is a member of the European Treaty of Friendship, Collaboration, and Mutual Assistance ([[Europact]]), and the United Independant Allied Nations ([[UIAN]]).
 
 
==Enemies==
 
Enemies and rivals include the United States, Morocco, Algeria, Iran, the terrorist groups S.P.I.T.E. and G.L.A., and until recently Ulrichland and Great Britain.
 
 
The Soviet government is preparing for massive total war in case it gets invaded by "insane neighbors" like a few weeks ago in the Korean Border.

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, informally known as the Soviet Union, is the European Union's oldest standing and most populous country, also commonly credited with having the biggest economy in the region. The country came into existence after the October Revolution of 1917, with its official foundation taking place in 30 December 1922. For a number of years it remained with little to no international recognition, however the rapid industrialisation under the controversial rule of Joseph Stalin quickly made it rank among the first largest economies and industrial powers of the 20th Century.

Since the early 1980's, notably under the reigns of Yuri Andropov and Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet Union has seen a lot of domestic reform, which continued under the Presidency of Gennady Zyuganov. Retaining a controversial 'democratic one-party state' and being commonly slurred or accused of troublemaking in the European Parliament, the country has been seen commonly withdrawing its representatives before the parliament and threatening with sanctions. Domestic reform continues, and even today, there are debates in the bicameral legislative body of the country, the Supreme Soviet, concerning the 'admittance of domestic opposition factions in the parliament' as labelled by Soviet leaders - or, in other words, opposition parties.
