Union of Sovereign States
 * Goverment & Politics: Presidential elections take place this year, they will be the first elections ever for electing the President of the Union of Sovereign States, since during the last year, Putin ruled Russia while Lukashenko ruled Belarus, and it was decided that there should only be one president for all of the USS instead. 4 major candidates run for the presidency; Vladimir Putin, from the United Russia party, Gennady Zyuganov from the Communist Party, Olga Romanova from the Liberal-Democratic Party, and Iósif Spalin as independent. As always, the media controlled by the goverment favours Putin, having a clear bias towards him and not taking in count the other 3 candidates. In other goverment affairs, Putin continues with the propaganda to make people join the Armed Forces, as many militaru operations occur this year.
 * 2018 Presidential Elections: Some debates are held, campaigns begin in March 18th, and everything goes as a normal presidential election, although with a clear bias towards Putin in the media as stated before. Elections are held all over the USS with a voter turnout of 61.52% (including the Caucasus) in June 1st. The results are as follows;
 * Vladimir Putin (UR): Putin gathers 74.9% of the popular vote, winning with a landslide margin and achieving his biggest win since his reelection for president of Russia back in 2004. He won most of the oblasts, territories and autonomous republics in both Russia and Belarus, only losing in Georgia and Azerbaijan. His mandate as the first president of the Union of Sovereign States officially starts in December 1st.
 * Gennady Zyuganov (CP): Zyuganov finished second in the presidentail race as usual, but only with 13 .1% of the popular vote. After Putin was declared the winner, Zyuganov gathered his followers in the Red Square and made an speech denouncing irregularities in the elections and naming himself the "legitime president". The russian media doesn't gives coverage to his rally, and it goes unoticed by most of the russians, except for the muscovites, who don't really care anyways.
 * Olga Romanova (LDP): Romanova ended in 3rd place, surpassing Iósif Spalin with an small margin, since she only gained 6.2% of the popular vote. She didn't do anything after losing the election, and just congraculated Putin for his victory.
 * Iósif Spalin (Independent): Due to his extremly radical stalinist views, Spalin is only able to get 5.8% of the popular vote, finishing last in the presidentail race. He got most of.his support in some areas in Georgia. After the official result announced Putin as winner, Spalin gathered an small number of supporters in Volgograd and denounce's Putin victory, annoucing that he will keep trying to win in future elections. After his defeat speech, he goes back to his normal job as a General in the Russian army.
 * Caucasus: For the sake of continuing with Operation Unification, Georgia and Azerbaijan are both annexed since they have been occupied for at least 1 year. They are both annexed in February 10th and become "autonomous states" like Belarus (grey border again). For ensuring popularity, Putin starts a social program to rebuild the two nations from the war that happened 1 year ago, and starts to improve the cities of the two countries by building more infraestructure.
 * Indian Territories: After many countries formed a coalition to take down India for their arrogant actions, they had to cede half of their territory, the USS included. As regions in India are ceded to the USS, troops and humanitarian personeel is sent to take effective control of these areas. For now, the area becomes the "Overseas Territory of India", while Kolkata becomes an "Special Administrative Region" of the USS, but their political status will probably change in the future.
 * Military: Military, Navy and Air Force continue to be increased as mpre funding is put into this area and nationalist propaganda continues (Exact numbers wi be given in future turns due to lack of time)
 * Wars & Conflicts: Mother Russia continues to defeat foreign threats and conquering lands this year, as it always does. (Adding random propaganda cuz kek)
 * War in Sudan: As russians troops advance furrher into Sudanese goverment, a final, large scale attack is launched to take the final section of the Nile controlled by Sudan, and the key cities of Khartoum and Omdurman. Some reinforcements are sent, and russian troops storm Khartoum, using a couple tanks to take down sudanese strongholds while the Air Force bombs Omdurman. Eventually, the remaining troops and the sudanese goverment surrender. Sudan is fully occupied by around 300K troops. After the victory in Khartoum-Omdurman, the russian forces in Sudan invade South Sudan and occupy some areas, and with the cooperation of Ethiopia, South Sudan should be defeated soon. Some troops are also placed in the border with CAR, preparing for an invasion.
 * Intervention against ISIS: As ISIS has been nearly defeated, most russian troops in Syria and Iraq pull out from there and go back to Rusaia. However, 10,000 troops still remain in the two countries, and in late 2018, they launch a final attack against the last territories controlled by ISIS in order to destroy them once and for all. Airstrikes continue, to support the Russian-Syrian-Iraqi attack.
 * Operation Citadel: Seeing how the rebels have pushed the Ukrainians to the other side of the Dnieper river, Putin decides to begin "Operation Citadel" this year. A massive invasion of Ukraine begins, with 450,000 troops, 2,500 tanks and attack vehicles and 500 artillery pieces crossing the border into north and west Ukraine from different points in Belarus and Russia. With the support of the Air Force, Blitzkrieg tactis are uses in order to make the war as fast as possible. Meanwhile, in Eastern Ukraine, thousands of troops in Crimea enter East Ukraine in order to support the rebels, the russian goverment also sends tanks and weapons to support the rebes once again. With Ukraine being massively attacked from practically all sides, the siege of Kiev starts in December 29th and it will probably end somewhere in mid-late January next year. The USS also begins formal talks with the East Ukraine rebels regarding the annexation of East Ukraine into the USS as an autonomous state like Belarus, Georgia, Russia and Azerbaijan.
 * Pacific Colonization: In order to secure the presence of the USS in the Pacific, Putin orders the invasion of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. Some vessels are sent to the islands carrying around 600 troops and like 10 tanks. One by one, the Micronesian and Marshall Islands are conquered by USS troops, USS flags are placed in the goverment's buildings. After around 1 and a half week, all of Micronesia and Marshall Islands are conquered by the USS, since there was practically no opposition besides of police forces. Micronesia and the Marshall Islands are merged and become an USS colony called "Russian Oceania".
 * Invasion of Cabinda: In early January, a section of the USS Navy is sent to the south atlantic ocean. In june 15th, the motive for this is revealed as 10,000 USS troops land in the Angolan enclave of Cabinda, fully occupying it after a quick fight. The troops proceed to kick out the natives from the enclave, leaving it only inhabited by USS troops. Although this technically means war with Angola, the USS goverment sends a letter to Angola explaining it that they had to do it since other countries had claims in these areas already, Putin also sends a "personal compensation" to the USS president of 2 billion dollars, for the sake of trying to calm them down and make them accept the take over of Cabinda.
 * Novi Sad revolts: After Germany sent a telegram to the USS informing them of the presence of rebels in the serbian city of Novi Sad, the USS inmediately takes action and sends 15,000 troops to assist Serbia and Montenegro. USS troops enter the city and quickly seize it along with the Serbian and Montenegrin troops after heavy urban warfare occured. The remaining rebels are hunted and personally executed by USS troops.
 * Technology:
 * Railguns: The railgun project that has been in development since 2016 finally gives the first results this year, with the creation of the Railgun I. It has been fully tested, so it was decided that they would be proved in combat in Operation Citadel and the Suadanese War. The Railgun I demostrates its efficency in the battlefront after deciding the course of battles in the two operations. The USS is now planning to mass produce them and it will eventually replace the regular fire weapons of the armed forces, as of now only a limited number of soldiers have it.
 * Exo-Suits: The USS continues to develop exo-suits for military use and the first ones are being used by elite troops for the Operation Citadel, but they obviously do not cover the entire body yet. The current exo-suits increase a soldier's resistance and speed, giving them an advantage against the enemy.
 * Robotic Soldiers: The USS starts a military program to create robotic soldiers, since Putin has realized that they have advantages compared to a regular soldier, since they are tireless and feel absolutely no remorse. However, they could also be hacked, so they won't really renplace the human soldiers, but assist them in battles, thry will also be used for certain operations where human soldiers are not required.
 * Economy: Still at a normal rate, although inflation is still increasing. Because of this, Putin is planing to adopt a new and unique currency for all of the USS, although further plans are to be done.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Kazakhstan: As relations continue to improve, the USS decides to invite Kazakhstan to join the USS as an autnomous state like Russia, Belarus, etc.
 * Armenia: The USS continues to increase their relations with Armenia quite a lot. It is worth mentioning that the USS has started to invest in Armenia and that Putin visited Armenia this year.
 * Germany: Relations continue to improve, as the USS is starting to see the ICF as a threat and like Germany more. An agreement is also made for a future military operation.
 * India: Initially, the russians threatened India with war for various reasons, however after they ceded half of their territory relations go back to normal
 * Ethiopia: The USS continues to support Ethiopia in military affairs, sending them lots of support against Kenya. They also agree on a partition plan for South Sudan.
 * United States of South America: Relations increase. However the USS warns the USSA about the side effects of expanding too much in a short period of time.
 * Intercontinental Federation: Tensions with the nordic part still increasing.
 * Korea: Relations increase. The USS also makes a deal with Korea to give them half of Micronesia later on.
