After the fall of the [[United Speakonian Soviet Republic]], Premier Asredon Wrathguild reopened elections as he departed his position.

Two years on, the party had proven not only militaristic and threatening to peace, but weak and unable to follow through on their promises of strength. Many threats were issued to surrounding nations, however many of them scoffed at what was considered to be the shadow of the USSR. This only proved worse when the Russians made no military moves in accordance to their threats.

However, there was only so much these sweeps could do, and in time even members of the military began to turn against the ruling government. Named the January Spring, Asredon Wrathguild crept out of hiding to begin coordinating against the government. A popular figurehead recognised for leading the USSR through a golden age and multiple wars, opposing groups flocked to unite under his banner. After several violent protests across the nation, it became clear the government wasn't going to listen.

On January 15th 2020, tanks crushed through Red Square, and soldiers bearing the flag of the Soviet Union pushed through the streets towards the Kremlin. Before long, a siege was underway. The siege on the Kremlin lasted five hours, and the battle of Moscow as a whole took several days to come to it's definite conclusion - primarily due to stubborn military holdouts. The battle was, otherwise, won around the city, and the civil war had come and gone.

When the dust cleared, the battle-damaged city had a new leader - and an old one at the same time. Asredon formally announced the rebirth of the Soviet Union, notably opting to use the proper name as opposed to the original one. After a week of transitional government, free elections were announced. Despite the potential for the nation's destiny to change forever, there was an overwhelming surge of support for the Communist party, and once more Asredon found himself as Premier of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union, despite its name, is a completely open and free democracy. Elections are handled every five years and consist of multiple parties across the political spectrum, though fascist parties are banned without incident. The elections seek to form a government and the winner becomes the Premier, along with their political party. While many nations have been subsumed into the greater union, their citizens are treated with total equality, and their rights are no different than the Russians. All languages are accepted and encouraged to be used, and all manners of left-wing thinking are currently encouraged.

The elections seek to form a government and the winner becomes the Premier, along with their political party. The Premier speaks on behalf of the Soviet Council, which gathers once a month (barring emergencies) at the Kremlin to discuss important matters in the Soviet Union. The council is made up of the premier and fifteen other representatives - the Premier acts as the representative of their home nation. After the election to choose the Premier, every nation that isn't the Premier's home nation votes on the councillor to represent them in the Soviet Council.

The Soviet economy varies depending on the region. The more temperate regions tend to be much more agriculturally focused, whereas the vast, open areas of Siberia become utilised primarily for industry. The Soviet Union does not associate with any companies, and primarily focuses on providing for its citizens than trading with others. While they are open to trade with other nations, these must be handled on the governmental level, not with corporations. For exports, the Soviet Union's top five are iron, steel, grain, precious metals and uranium.
