Union of Soviet Socialist Republics:

 * Government:
 * Holodomor: The Holodomor was a man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine in 1932 and 1933 that killed an officially estimated 7 million to 10 million people. During the Holodomor millions of inhabitants of Ukraine, the majority of whom were ethnic Ukrainians, died of starvation in a peacetime catastrophe unprecedented in the history of Ukraine. Early estimates of the death toll by scholars and government officials varied greatly; anywhere from 1.8 to 12 million ethnic Ukrainians were said to have perished as a result of the famine. Recent research has since narrowed the estimates to between 2.4 and 7.5 million. The exact number of deaths is hard to determine, due to a "lack of records", but the number increases significantly when the deaths in heavily Ukrainian-populated Kuban are included. The famine was solved in late 1933 when the State sent respectively 176,200 and 325,000 tons of grains as food and seed aids between September and October 1933.
 * Second Five-Year Plan: Because of the successes made by the first plan, Stalin did not hesitate with going ahead with the second five-year plan in 1932, although the official start-date for the plan was 1933. The second five-year plan gave heavy industry top priority, putting the Soviet Union not far behind Germany as one of the major steel-producing countries of the world. Further improvements were made in communications, especially railways, which became faster and more reliable. As was the case with the other five-year plans, the second was not as successful, failing to reach the recommended production levels in such areas as the coal and oil industries. The second plan employed incentives as well as punishments and the targets were eased as a reward for the first plan being finished ahead of schedule in only four years. With the introduction of childcare, mothers were encouraged to work to aid in the plan's success. By 1937, the tolkachi emerged occupying a key position mediating between the enterprises and the commissariat.
 * Joseph Stalin's Speech: Premier of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, made a speech concerning the Novgorod Rebellion, as follows: "If the anti-communists in Novgorod wished for a true democratic republic, then would they not murder innocent civilians who simply support their actual government? They're doing this because they are not democratic at all. They are fascists disguising themselves under the blanket of democractic standings with targeted killings of pro-Soviet citizens in cities across the nation, from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok. Citizens of the Soviet Union, if you wish to truly be safe, stick with your government and join the Red Army. Ideas are more powerful than guns. We will not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?".


 * Analytics:
 * Economy: COMMUNISM.
 * Infrastructure/Public Services: Working on it.
 * Development/Standards of Living: We're communist. We don't need standards of living. Do we?
 * Population & Demographics: The population of the Soviet Union is somewhere around 206,500,000.


 * Military:
 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Novgorod Rebellion: Immediate action is taken against the Novgorodians. One million Soviet soldiers storm the city of St. Petersburg, liberating the city within two weeks. Any surrendering Novgorodian soldiers/civilians and known supporters in the city are arrested, and either sent to gulags or executed publicly. Joseph Stalin makes a statement to the Novgorodians, stating "The Soviet Bear has already taken your largest held city, and executed the members of your squadron of little squabblers. Are you sure you'd like to go on?". This mini-speech was followed up by an advance onto Vitebsk, the next largest city "held by" the Novgorod Rebellion. This assault was done with 500,000 Soviet soldiers, outnumbering their pitiful 126,000 men in the area. The next attacks were on the cities of Pskov and Petrozavodsk, both sieged with 300,000 soldiers, which went in favor of the Red Army due to the Novgorodians being outnumbered nearly 3 to 1. As with St. Petersburg, Novgorodian men who surrendered and those who support it are detained and sent to gulags or executed publicly. Joseph Stalin himself even appeared at one of these public executions, stating "this is what happens to those who rebel against the government." This was followed by one of the last attacks on the Novgorod Rebellion this year, with the advance into the Arkhangelsk Oblast by 600,000 Soviet soldiers. Simply due to size, only half of the Arkhangelsk Oblast is liberated from Novgorodian hands.
 * Caucasus Rebellion: Though extremely weak, Stalin sends 400,000 soldiers down into the Caucasus to quell the unrest, effectively killing those of the Caucasus Rebellion. Despite this, few Caucasian soldiers still participate in guerrilla warfare against Red Army soldiers stationed in the Transcaucasian SFSR.


 * Soviet Armed Forces:
 * Armed Forces Purge: With the Ingria-Karelians likely being in the military, we begin a purge of every branch in the SAF. Nearly 250,000 soldiers (this includes officers by the way steampunk so you're gay) are sent to gulags in the Far East for holding sympathies (or being a part of directly) with the Ingria-Karelians.
 * Red Army:
 * 4,837,028 active, frontline personnel
 * 685,858 reserve personnel
 * 1,468 tanks
 * 27,468 armoured fighting vehicles
 * 1,579 self-propelled artillery
 * 2,748 towed artillery
 * 582 rocket projectors (unguided, weak)


 * Soviet Air Forces:
 * 572,758 active, frontline personnel
 * 237,479 reserve personnel
 * 392 fighters
 * 636 attack aircraft
 * 367 transport aircraft
 * 148 trainer aircraft


 * Soviet Navy:
 * 357,279 active, frontline personnel
 * 169,479 reserve personnel
 * 1 aircraft carrier
 * 2 frigates
 * 4 destroyers
 * 12 corvettes
 * 35 submarines
 * 13 patrol craft
 * 3 mine warfare vessels


 * Diplomacy:
 * Tannu Tuva: We're annexing you. kthx.
 * Finland: We'll give you Kola in return for helping us kill the Novgorod Rebellion.
 * Socialist State of Bulgaria: Here's 35,000,000 leva, go wild.
