Russia (TFVE)

WIP Russian Federation, Officially known as the Russian Imperial Federation or Imperial Russia is a predominately Slavic country located mainly in Northern Asia and Eastern Europe. Despite the name, it is, in reality some kind of a Constitutional Parliamentary Monarchy and an Empire ruled by the Second Romanov Dynasty. In 2017, the Russian Federation suffered a civil war in which the Monarchist faction, led by Gilbert Romanov-Martinez had gained victory in 2028. In 2029, the newly crowned Russian Emperor, Romanov-Martinez (also known as Gilbert I of Russia), reformed the system of government to put most of the legislative and executive power onto him. While leaving the Judicial and rest of the Legislative power to the Imperial Congress also known as the Duma. It's current Head of State is Sasha Kebrochev and Romanov-Martinez's son; Emperor Konstantin I of Russia (Konstantin Gilbervich Romanov-Kebrochev).

Early History
The nation's history began with that of the East Slavs, who emerged as a recognizable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. Founded and ruled by a Varangian warrior elite and their descendants, the medieval state of Rus arose in the 9th century. In 988 it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire,[18] beginning the synthesis of Byzantine and Slavic cultures that defined Russian culture for the next millennium. Rus' ultimately disintegrated into a number of smaller states; most of the Rus' lands were overrun by the Mongol invasion and became tributaries of the nomadic Golden Horde in the 13th century. The Grand Duchy of Moscow gradually reunified the surrounding Russian principalities, achieved independence from the Golden Horde, and came to dominate the cultural and political legacy of Kievan Rus'. By the 18th century, the nation had greatly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to become the Russian Empire, which was the third largest empire in history, stretching from Poland in Europe to Alaska in North America.

Following the Russian Revolution, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic became the largest and leading constituent of the Soviet Union abbreviated to USSR, the world's first constitutionally socialist state and a recognized world superpower, and a rival to the United States which played a decisive role in the Allied victory in World War II.The Soviet era saw some of the most significant technological achievements of the 20th century, including the world's first human-made satellite, and the first man in space. By the end of 1990, the Soviet Union had the world's second largest economy, largest standing military in the world and the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction (the state detonated in 1961 the Tsar Bomba, which was mankind's most powerful nuclear bomb ever built). Following the partition of the Soviet Union in 1991, fourteen independent republics emerged from the USSR; as the largest, most populous, and most economically developed republic, the Russian SFSR reconstituted itself as the Russian Federation and is recognized as the continuing legal personality (the sole successor state) of the Soviet Union.

Second Civil War to Present
Russia has many military capabilities, however, due to it's relations with NATO, their sanctions has dropped Russia's economy. However, Russia saw that the unofficial disperse of NATO and the EU had brought an opportunity on Mother Russia. Despite several sanctions were invalid due to their disperse, Russia's economy is at an all time low. Putin's popularity, however, is not in great condition. About 7 opponents have risen against Putin, hounding for his downfall. Will it last? Perhaps not. In an attempt to regain popularity with the populace, Russia seeks an alliance with the United States and China, and requests a Non-Aggression Pact with Mexico and her allies that lasts for about 10 years. Also, Russia, again, occupies Pro-Russian states in Georgia, Abhkazia and Southern Ossetia and, if possible, annexes them. However, Russia reorganizes it's complex military into Legions. Each legion is divided into 20,000 Men each. The government increases Military spending and invests in technology and innovative projects to keep people engaged in their jobs. Their active military personnel is totaled over 1 Million by now, making about 50 Legions. On which 32nd, 22nd, and 11th Legions occupied Pro-russian Georgia. About a Dozen Russian Legions is gathering in, or near, Crimea and establishing military presence in the Black Sea.

Because of it's shaggy economy, Putin had developed over a dozen of political opponents, on which 7 are capable enough to overthrow Putin and install their own type of Government, including Romanov-Martinez, which led the Monarchist Faction. Finally in 2017, the Russian Federation fell apart, starting what would be widely known as the Second Russian Civil War, which resulted in the loss of millions and millions of lives. (More on this later) On the course of over a decade locked in civil war, with several factions slowly collapsing, the war came to a final conclusion in 2028, when the Monarchist faction came out on top. In 2029, the newly crowned Russian Emperor, Romanov-Martinez (also known as Gilbert I of Russia), reformed the system of government to put most of the legislative and executive power onto him. While leaving the Judicial and rest of the Legislative power to the Imperial Congress also known as the Duma.

Thanks to development of new technologies in the 21st century, the War resulted in the casualties of over 20 Million Russians (almost half are deaths), even more than World War 1. Russia won't recover it it's losses until the late 2040s (from the integration of other states and massive amounts of immigrants). However, thanks to the mass immigration to northern countries, due to global warming, Russia received about an average of 1.2 Million refugees a year between 2035 to 2040, but began putting limits, which received varying degrees of success, until 2053. However, the great migration between 2035 to 2051 resulted in almost 15 Million refugees (10 Million of which will become permanent), most of which will move on to populate emptier parts of Russia such as Siberia. In 2053, Gilbert I enacted reforms on the state system, leading to creation of four major Military Commonwealth Districts (Above Federal Districts); Romanov, Kebrochev, Yakohev and Bevrohev. On Late 2060, Gilbert I died of a stroke, and his son, Konstantine Gilbervich Romanov-Kebrochev, aka Konstantin I of Russia, succeeds him to the throne, on which he carries out today.
