The Martian Soviet was the colloquial name for the Union of Socialist Republics of the Terran Solar System, a successor power to the Eurasian Soviet that was founded in the immediate aftermath of the Third World War by the Big 20 and other Eurasian Soviet loyalists who fled to or already were in space by the end of the conflict, along with later immigrants, refugees, and even colonists. In spite of both names, the Martian Soviet was neither founded on Mars, nor did a significant portion of its territory exist on Earth. It was, in fact, founded at the former Eurasian Soviet Colony Gagarin (later known as Gagarin City) in 2050, and wouldn't even begin settlement of mars until the late 2070s. In its pre-martian period, the Soviet was highly reliant on still-friendly nations in the Assembly of Independent Eurasian States; however, by the 22nd Century the Martian Soviet was in fact fully self-reliant owing to the industrialization of Mars.

This independence, and a resurgence in hostile attitudes between the ideological extremist elements in both the Martian Soviet and the Terran Hegemony, eventually lead to the Martian Conflict, which is considered by Historians to be the first major war (in historical terms) after the Third World War.
