Russian Federation
 * Goverment: In January 30th, 2017, Putin signs the political reform of the Russian Federation as part of his plans, turning it into the Union of Sovereign States, although subdivisions such as oblasts remain the same for now. A few days after the political reform of the Russian Federation, Belarus is invited to join the USS as a "sovereign state" that would be autonomous, pretty much like the soviet republics back in the USSR era. Putin also continues to spread propaganda through the mainstream russian media, calling russian to arms to fight against the "Motherland's enemies" such as Azerbaijan and ISIS. The next thing in Putin's agenda is continuing the Operation: Unification through war, so many war plans are made this year for the military. No more changes were made in the goverment afterwards, as Putin practically rules supreme.
 * Military: More people continue to join the Russian Armed Forces due to the effect of the nationalist propaganda and the fact that Russia is currently fighting in 4 wars. Because of this, 210,000 active troops and 100,000 reserve are recruited this year, totalling a number of 3,925,000 troops, with 1,300,000 of them being active troops used for fighting in the wars where Russia is participating. Russia continues to develop and research new militarytechnologies this year, as usual. More vessels are also built this year to continue improving the Russian Navy. Many russian ships are also paced in the Black Sea, partially caused by the increase of tensions with Ukraine but also by russian plans in the area.
 * Technology: After heavy funding was put into the railgun project, huge progress is made and the first prototypes of the weapon will be available next year for testing. With the expected succes of the railguns, laser weapons are also being researched, but mass producing them will take even longer than producing the Railgun I. The Exo-Suit also continues to be developed and it will cover nearly the entire body as the ones than other nations are making. No major technological progress is made in the air force and navy is made, except for a new stealth fighter technology.
 * Wars & Conflics:
 * Sudanese Invasion: This year, the russians decide to begin their colonial empire in Africa in order to catch up with the rest of europeans, although these "colonies" will be managed in a different way. Since Sudan is even weaker than Azerbaijan, a country already defeated by Russia, the conquest of said country shouldn't take too much time. Many Kazakh, Tajik, Turkmen, Uzbek and Kyrgyz russians are sent to this mission, as they are expected to resist the conditions in Sudan better. The codename for the invasion of Sudan is "Operation Blue Nile". The Operation begins with a couple of ships stationed in the Mediterranean Sea (with cooperation with MEI) that were going to invade Italy cross the Suez Canal and reach the Red Sea, preparing to invade and land in Sudan. A total of 350,000 troops land in different points of the Sudanese coasts in March 1st, taking all of it by the end of the year, and conquering the cities of Port Sudan and Suakin. By December, russian troops had reached the Nile and taken Atbara, expecting to reach Khartoum by the next year.
 * Ukrainian Conflict:  Putin continues to support the pro-russian rebels in Ukraine, increasing their funding and military equipment. The situation with Ukraine remains pretty much the same, with Russia not attacking them directly but still sending more russian "volunteers" to support the rebels (around 30,000 this year). More troops are placed in the Ukrainian border as tensions continue to increase between the two countries. Russia also tries to make other nations recognize East Ukraine as independent, especifically the memebrs of the Shangai Pact.
 * Caucasus War: With Georgia defeated, the russians start to fully focus in Azerbaijan. After 3 months of fighting, Baku falls to Russian troops and Azerbaijan capitulates to Russia and Armenia. Georgia and Azerbaijan will remain occupied by 50,000 troops for 1 year, and then they will both be annexed as "sovereign states" in the USS. Armenia is also allowed to annex the land they occupied. All other troops withdraw from the Caucasus, except for the 50,000 who are occupying it.
 * Korean War: North Korea is defeated really quickly by China, South Korea and Russia. As russian and chinese troops reach Pyongyang, Kin Jong-Un is killed and the country is split, liberating all the korean citizens from a brutal dictatorship. After spliting North Korea, all russian troops go back home and Russia annexes their small claim in the north korean coasts.
 * Intervention against ISIS: Cooperating with the MEI, Russian forces continue to push further into Syria and Iraq along with Syrian, Iraqi and Turk troops and recapturing oil production areas, making the ISIS' economy crumble. The Russian Air Force also continues with the airstrikes and bombings, making more of them and attacking in more aggresive ways, since the russians want to completely destroy ISIS as soon as possible. 85,000 reinforcements are sent to the Syrian and Iraqi fronts this year, to assist the troops already fighting against ISIS militants.
 * Economy: The economy is now increasing as many free trade agreements are signed and the sanctions imposed on Russia were removed. Nothing much is to be said about economy, besides saying that Putin is currently thinking about changing the national currency due to the creation of the USS.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Belarus: Putin sends a letter to the president of Belarus, inviting them to an Union called "Union of Sovereign States (USS)" stating that making such union would make the two nations progress further, and that Russia and Belarus have great diplomatic relations and are tied to each other historically. Belarus will be the second state to join the Union, with the first being Russia itself.
 * Kazakhstan: Relations greatly improve as the two nations now have open borders with each other, Russia is planning to invite Kazakhstan to the USS, but not yet.
 * Brazil: Relations are improved and Russia agrees on leaving colonizers out of South America, sennding modern military equipment, vehicles and weapons to Brazil. An alliance is also signed and Russia and Brazil agreed on letting Brazil into the Shangai Pact once an slot is free.
 * Armenia: Russia increases relations with Armenia after cooperating in the war against Azerbiajan and requests an alliance, non-agression pact, open borders and a freetrade agreement.
 * Germany:  Relations improve as Russia plans to give them part of Lithuania and Kaliningrad Oblast after they're done with some of their wars.
 * South Africa & Madagascar: Russia tells the african countries that they can't do anything to stop european imperialiam in Africa and that they should worry for their own nations.
 * Egypt: Russia warns them about intervening in Sudan, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
 * Croatia: More sanctions are placed in Croatia due to them insulting Brazil, Russia also rejects their self-proclaimed "pro-russian" standing.
 * Turkey: Relations continue to increase, and Russia proposes a free trade agreement once again.
 * South Korea: Relations improve and a free trade agreement is signed.
 * Indonesia: A free trade agreement is signed.
 * Balkan Defense League (BDL): Relations with the BDL increase since Russia prefers them over Croatia and Bulgaria, an alliance with Romania is also signed.
 * Ethiopia: Relations are improved and Russia continues to fund them against Somalia and giving them modern equipment.
