History
The Soviet Union was founded by the nation Decronia. The idea to form the alliance was in the works for sometime but it wasn't until the end of the Decronia Civil War that the idea was given more attention, On June 15, 2009 the alliance was officaly established. Work got underway on the message forums and the signing of the Soviet Union Charter by those who sit on the council was done. Some minor problems occurred early on as in any newly formed alliance but soon things began to fall into place. On june 20th the Soviet Union offically announced it'self to the world of Cybernations. It took time to form a solid government as interal issue occurred early on but eventually were delt with and things began to move forward. The Union has faced attacks on it's nations by tech raids and rouge nations, however they have managed to stay strong and bounce back rather quickly. The Soviet Union is currently made up of eight Socialist Republics. It's largest members are Decronia, Bubbastan Republic, Crimson Sands, New Union of Soviets and Republic of Camdonia. The Union government is run by the Soviet Council.

Government
The Communist Party of the Soviet Union is the dominant political party in the Union. The Sovit Council is the government body that is made up of the High Council and the council of ministries. The Pretor (or Head of State) and the Prime Minister are the High Council, the Minister of Defense, Tresherur, Head of Development and Minister of Foreign Relations are the council of ministries. All decisions involving new policies, changes on old ones, foreign affairs, military and domestic issues are decided upon by a council vote. However the Pretor can change that vote or veto the council decision if he chooses. This rarely happens. The government serves the people

Culture
The culture of the Soviet Union is rather unique. The believe in equality, that all members have a voice and that voice shall be heard. One of the philosphies in the Soviet world is that everyone has a place, a purpose and a destiny. This ideal has attracted the attention of many and gained the union more attention. As a member of the Grey sphere the Soviets believe it is their responsibility to bring more life on to the grey team by expanding the alliance. To help acomplish this goal they have put forth alot of time and resources into developing a strong movie industry and arts district. "Workers of the World Unite" is the motto of the Soviet nations, It represents that all men and women are equal and should untie together in common cause.

Military
The soviet military has various branches. One of it's main branches is the Red Army, the flagship of the Soviet Military Forces. Nicknamed "the Reds" by many foreign alliances, the Red Army stands for more than just stregnth and honor but it stands for the will to survive and be the best. Other branches of the Soviet Military are it's Air Force, Navy and special forces.
