Russian Federation
 * Goverment: As a new wave of imperialism raises across the world after many international organizations collapsed, Vladimir Putin, president of the Russian Federation, decides to focus in the protection of the Motherland, and in securing the Russian rule over "rightful" Russian lands, as well as affirming the position of Russia as a superpower in the global stage. Putin's irredentist project is simply named "Operation: Unification" which basically consists of a series of territorial gains through different means, from wars, to diplomacy. Putin also starts to increase nationalist propaganda across the country, which has a good effect in the traditional patriotic russian people, making them feel proud of their nation. There are not many changes in the russian goverment, pretty much staying the same, with most of the media being controlled by the goverment, no major opposition parties, and restricted LGBT rights, among other things.
 * Shangai Pact: As France decides to try to recreate the old North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Putin and the new Chinese leader agree on creating the Shangai Pact in order to counter the NATO, the organization was named after the place where the economical and military alliance was signed, with China and Russia being the most important members, although countries like Ethiopia, Iran, Kazakhstan and Belarus were invited later on. China, being one of the World's largests ecpnomies, is the economic leader of the Alliance, acting as the nation who provides the most funding for SP projects and also aids members like Ethiopia economically. In the other hand, the Russian Federation is named the main leader of the organization, taking charge of the military and diplomatical affairs from the organization, since Russia is the strongest in the SP military speaking and it is the most active in the international community as well.
 * Military: One of the main objectives of the nationalist propaganda was making people want to join the Armed Forces, which did worked to some extend. This year, 175, 000 reserve troops are trained to become part of the active military, and an additional 250,000 is recruited between active, reserves and paramilitary troops. The number of active troops is 1,090,000, reserve is 2,000,000, and paramilitary is 525,000. The total number of the armed forces reaches 3,615,000 by the end of the year. Some military projects also begin through the year, such as the railgun. As for other branches of the Armed Forces such as the Navy, the Russian Federation starts building its second aircraft carrier this year. The russian Navy also increases its presence in the Mediterranean Sea in preparation for a military operation.
 * Technology: The russians start developing new technologies this year, mostly focused in the military areas. It is wrth mentioning the railgun, a weapon that can only be developed by major world powers in this stage, and it will probably be availabe in 2 or 3 years. Another new development are exo-suits, which could already exist for non-military uses, however Russia plans to give exo-suits to all of theur troops, for the sake of improving their efectiveness. Besides of that, not much is done this year in the technological area, since Russia is mostly focusing in its current wars.
 * Wars: This year, Russia particaptes in a great number of conflicts, and increases its presence in others.
 * Caucasian War: The first phase of "Operation: Unification" begins with the delcaration of war and invasion of Georgia and Azerbaijan. Russia justifies the wars by stating that both Georgia and Azerbaijan have been acting hostile towards Armenia, and that they have attacked South Ossetia and Karabakh Republic respectively (although this can't be proven). After accusing the two countries of this, war is declared and 450,000 troops cross the border into Georgia and Azerbaijan. In the Georgian front, the Russians take over the country really quick after recruiting pro-Russian Georgians in Abjasia and South Ossetia, and by the end of the year Tbilisi capitulates and Georgia is fully occupied by Russian troops, while Abjasia and South Ossetia are annexed into the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, in the Azerbaijan front, Russian troops advance easily as well, although finding more resistance from the Azeris. Russian troops reach Baku by December 29th and start sieging it, as for the rest of Azerbaijan, around half of it is occupied and it will most likely fall next year. Russia also invites Armenia to declare war on Azerbaijan and promises them land.
 * Korean War: In early 2016, the Russians surprise the world along with the Chinese after breaking all sort of ties and relations with North Korea. Later on, the motive for this would be revealed; In February 20th, Russia joins the Korean war, using 500,000 troops to cross the border into North Korea. North Koreans are confused by this move, and in the beginning they thought that Russian troops were coming to support North Korea, since Russia never officially declared war. However, this changes after Russia seizes the provinces of Rason and North Hamgyong after some battles, Chonjing is also taken by the Russian army. With the combined formes of 2 superpowers and 1 regional power, North Koreans should collapse by next year, with Russia occupying the Northeast, China the Northwest and South Korea the rest.
 * Ukrainian Conflict: With the collapse of organizations such as the United Nations and after the new NATO agreed to not intervene, Russia officially starts supporting the pro-russians in Donetsk and Lugansk in their war against the Ukrainian goverment. Russia sends them extended economic and military support, to help them take all of Donetsk and Lugansk by the end of the year. Aditionally, around 40,000 russian "volunteers" arrive to East Ukraine to support the pro-russian rebels, although Russia isn't officially intervenining or at war with Ukraine directly, just supporting the rebels. More military bases are built in Crimea and border control with Ukraine is heavily increased, making the Ukrainians suspect of a possible invasion.
 * Intervention against ISIS: The Russians continur conducting airstrikes in Syria against ISIS and al-Nusra Front militants. This year, Putin decides to send 25,000 land force troops to help Assad's goverment attack ISIS. It is worth mentioning that the number of strikes has increased despite begin a low priority, and that they are directed not only to ISIS, but to al-Nusra, ISIS and the FSA.
 * Economy: The russian economy has a relief as most of the sanctions placed by other countries should've removed by now, since the entire world is imperialist now, and the russian intervention in Ukraine shouldn't be viewed as imperialist as before, and therefore minimized.
 * Diplomacy: 
 * NATO: Although Putin still dislikes the idea of another NATO, relations are better than the ones with the original NATO, and a non-agression pact for 5 years is signed between the NATO and the russian-lead Shangai Pact. Russia also makes a deal with NATO's leader, France, where the NATO agreed to not intervene in Ukraine's bussiness and that in return Russia wouldn't mind European imperialism in Africa unless it affected their ally, Ethiopia.
 * China: Putin greatly increases relations with China after the Shangai Pact was made, considering them their closest military and economic ally.
 * Turkey: Russia begins to improve relations with Turkey and tries to leave the tensions in the past. As a result of this, their request for a non-aggresion pact is accepted and Russia proposes a Free Trade Agreement.
 * United Kingdom: Their request for a non-agression pact is accepted. Relations stay the same besodes of that.
 * Ethiopia: Relations improve due to Ethiopia due to them being members of the Shangai Pact. Russia also supports Ethiopia in their war against Somalia, selling them modern weapons and military equipment and vehicles.
 * Belarus & Kazakhstan: Russia focuses in massively improving their relations with Belarus and Kazakhstan, as they seek to create an union with the two nations in the near future. Open borders are proposed to the two countries.
 * Ukraine: Relations decrease due to Russia openly supporting rebels in the Ukrainian territory, Ukraine and Russia start accusing each other of attacking, which ends up with Russia cuting relations with Ukraine.
 * Germany: An alliance is signed, as the russians think that Germany could have similar interests in East Europe. However, the fact that Germany protects the imperialist Austria could result in a decreasing of relations.
 * Croatia & Austria: Sanctions are place since Russia considers most of the members in the Central Powers way too imperialist.
 * Sweden: A non-agression pact is signed.
 * Indonesia: A free trade agreement is signed.
 * Armenia: They are invited to invade Azerbaijan.
