Russia (Russian: Россия) also known as the Russian Federation (Russian: Российская Федерация) is an Eastern European (Slavic) country and the largest country in the world, spanning in Europe and Asia. Its capital city is Moscow. Russia was once a part of the Soviet Union, before its collapse on Christmas Day, 1991. The current president of Russia is Vladimir Putin.

History[]

Russia was created in 1547 as the Tsardom of Russia, After the Russian revolution of 1917 Russia became a communist dictatorship, it defeated Germany in World War 2 and setup many communist states in eastern Europe most notably East Germany. In 1990 the Berlin wall fell and in 1991 the Soviet Union. Russia in the 1990s faced a economic collapse and a Chechen Islamic takeover in the Caucasus which Russia failed to crush in 1994 followed by a coup attempted in 1994 by Russian hardliners which further hurt Russia.

The Russian economy collapsed again from 1997-1999 following a budget crisis. Russia promised to protect Serbia during the 1999 NATO bombings but could not do much. In 1999 Chechnya invaded Dagestan which led to Russia invading Chechenya again and this time successfully and by 2001 what remained of Chechnya was destroyed. After the economic crisis of 1997-1999 the Russian economy began to quickly recover. Russia is a majority Caucasian European nation with its religions being mostly Orthodox Christian, Atheist and SBNR with a Islamic minority.

Economy[]

In 2001 the Russian economy was starting to quickly recover from a crippling budget crisis. In game the Russian economy starts with:

  • GDP: 1.1 trillion $ (10th largest)
  • GDP per capita: 7700$ (semi-developed)
  • Economic health of 34.9%
  • Resources at 92%
