Eurasian Soviet

The Eurasian Soviet was one of the two major polar powers in the 21st Century, a counterpart to the Free Market Block, and (depending on your definitions) a major nation or supranational organzation formed by the joint treaty of the Continental Asian Soviet (itself consisting of China, a conquered Tibet, the People's Republic of Mongolia, and the DPRK) and the Union of Socialist States of Russia, in 1991 following the Pripyat Event and the subsequent economic depression and refugee crisis (also precipitating the Humanoid Robotics Rennaisance of the late 1980s and early 1990s).

The Eurasian Soviet became the primary locus of authority and economy in the Soviet-Communist world (thus its status as a polar power), and its sudden formation spurred both the accelleration of the treaty organizations that eventually became the Free Market Block as well as the creation or strengthening of the Oceanic Econo-Political Union, the African Confederation, the South Asian Free States, and the United States of Western Europe, in whole or in part. Eurasian Soviet interventionism was otherwise largely responsible for the spirit of accelerationism that fed into Project Lorica, and resulted, ultimately, in the Third World War.

In spite of their competing Lorica-like combat platform, the Ursa Ruska, and technological parity with other global factions, the Eurasian Soviet was ultimately defeated by the treaty organization that became the Western Sphere Hegemony, in particular after losing key nuclear technology to independent sabotage and the work of Project Clarity. While the states that made up the Eurasian Soviet remained something of a cultural power block under the 22nd Century's Terran Hegemony, the Eurasian Soviet government-in-exile persisted on the Moon through the end of Operation Lunar Soldier and eventually further fled to found the Martian Soviet prior to the Martian Conflict, in which the chain of succession was ultimately lost.
