West Russia

The North Russian Liberation Front

 After Midnight

Head of State: Alexander Altunin

Ruling Party: Severo-Russkiy Osvoboditel'nyy Front (SROF)
Ideology: Despotism (Military Government)

Description: The “unofficial” successor to the West Russian Revolutionary front of old, the North Russian
Liberation Front is a state made up of slaves, partisans, former military officers, natives, and other figures desperate
and pragmatic enough to survive ten years of the Holy Russian Empire’s apocalyptic rule. With their faith in
ideology shattered, they have no illusions that Russia may be saved from the latest round of warlordism -but the
North Russian Liberation Front, regardless, will stand to ensure that the boot of Nazism never again falls across
Russia - and that the Russian people shall forever endure.

National Spirits:
Nothing Left but the People - Whilst the North Russian Liberation Front has no grand dreams of saving the rest of
Russia, they shall fight to the bitter end to hold on to what they have. They have no ideology or ambition beyond
resisting Larionov.
An Unthinkable Position - Whilst collaboration with the Finnish, perhaps, is the most desperate option, the NRLF
relies on Finnish aid to feed its people, and ward off starvation a bit longer - despite the poor feelings of Altunin and
the NRLF towards the Finnish state.

The Imperial Mercantile Consortium

 After Midnight

Head of State: Nikolay Talberg

Ruling Party: Imperskiy Torgovyy Konsorcium (ITK)
Ideology: Fascism (Corporatism)

Description: The Imperial Mercantile Consortium is a state borne of Taboritsky’s Empire, the remnants of the
massive imperial corporations created to run the sectors of the HRE’s economy. Due to its nature, the Mercantile
Consortium is no longer capable of executing the brutal purges of Taboritsky’s empire - but the racial theories
remain. A legion of slaves toils across the factories and plantations of the Mercantile Consortium, as the officials of
the former Imperial corporations scramble to make deals with entities as far as Moskowien and Finland.

National Spirits:
The Corporate Pillars - The Imperial Mercantile Consortium is a hybrid state-private ruled apparatus run by a Board
composed of the corporations established under Taboritsky’s Empire. The corporations, within the Consortium, have
their own private fiefs where their word is law - the central currency is merely that of the largest corporation’s scrip,
and the state apparatus runs oiled by backroom deals.
Fraying Strings- Whilst de jure a component of the Regency to its East, the Consortium has seen the way that the
wind is blowing, and operates essentially independently, paying mere lip service whilst working to cut itself loose
from Larionov’s dying monstrosity.

The Holy Russian Empire

 After Midnight

Head of State: Viktor Larionov

Ruling Party: Obshchestvo Vozdrozhdeniya Rossiyskoiy Imperii (OVRI)
Ideology: Burgundian System (Imperial Cult)

Description: Even with the death of the Regent, the remnants of Taboritsky's 'legitimate' government endures under
the rule of Viktor Larionov, in the old imperial town of Vyatka and the surrounding lands. With the assistance of his
Shturmoviki, he has proclaimed himself Blessed Regent of the Holy Russian Empire and purged his opposition,
protecting the Imperial Cult within his borders. As Taboritsky before him, Larionov believes it is his divine mission
to reunite the Empire and prepare the way for the return of the rightful monarch - though his commitment to Alexei
specifically is dubious. However, his lack of manpower limits him, and means that he shall always be a mere pariah
kingdom of raiders and thieves.

National Spirits:
The Imperium Nihilus - With Taboritsky’s emptying of Russia, and Larionov’s purges to ensure a government loyal
only to him, it can truly be said that the Holy Russian Empire has nothing left to it. With the Shturmoviki expended,
the Army barely able to keep itself equipped, the fields poisoned, and the populace starved, the Empire’s position is
maintained solely by the horrific weapons it has stockpiled - and the broken obedience of the shackled peasantry.
Hermit Kingdom - Despite his grand visions of reuniting Russia, and restoring the Empire, in truth, Larionov’s Holy
Russian Empire is nothing but a pariah state guarded by a depleted army kept loyal solely by fear and the promise of
riches. Larionov’s empire is walled off from the rest of Russia, its only interactions with the other warlords being
raids and threatening communications.

The Christian Republic of Samara

 After Midnight

Head of State: Sergey Mikhailovich Izvekov (Pimen I)

Ruling Party: Samarskaya Patriarhiya (SP)
Ideology: Conserative Democracy (Christian Democracy)

Description: Horrified by Taboritsky's heretical version of Orthodox Christianity, the surviving clergy of western
Russia have flocked to Samara, which was seized by a general uprising of the populace upon the Regency's collapse.
Though initially rejecting power, the people made their wishes clear: every other ideology has failed Russia, in the
end. In the absence of anyone better, they have turned once more to God - or, in the case of the secularists, to the last
authority that might retain some competence and moral backbone. A semi-theocratic republic has thus been
declared, with a mixture of clergy and laity making up the government, bureaucracy and officer corps.

National Spirits:
Beacon in the Wastes - As one of the most stable and benevolent states in the post-Taboritsky wastelands, refugees
from all over the fallen Empire have made the long trek to the intact lands of the Christian Republic, seeking
salvation. Whilst the priesthood is fully willing to house them, and the cities of Samara always need more laborers to
help rebuild the infrastructure of the area, some look upon the pilgrims as potential threats - and Imperial agents at
worst.
Blessed Isolation - Despite the benevolence of the Samaran government, the priesthood has looked across the lines,
outside of the Republic, and seen nothing but a fallen, sinful nation, perverted by a twisted, heretical vision of
Christianity. The Christian Republic has no desire to reunify the Motherland, regarding it as far beyond saving.

The Autonomous Soviet Liberation Army

 After Midnight

Head of State: Ryszard Kukliński

Ruling Party: Autonomiczna Armia Wyzwolenia Radzieckiego (AAWR)
Ideology: Libertarian Socialism (Popular Frontism)

Description: Poland has been lost once more - first to the Holy Russian Empire, which murdered thousands of
Poles, and then the Kazakh Purification Army, which has occupied the region with brutality comparable to the
Shturmoviki in the last days of Taboritsky’s reign. In the face of this adversity, however, Nowa Polska, and the spirit
of Poland itself, lives on in General Ryszard Kukliński - a former officer of Nowa Polska, turned partisan when
Taboritsky’s forces came to Kazakhstan. Seizing lands north of the Kazakh Purification Army’s reach, Kukliński
has mustered a force of Polish expatriates who flooded across the border in droves in the wake of Gaziz’s advance,
anti-fascist Russians, and Kazakh refugees who have fled the Purification Army’s brutal regime. The Autonomous
Soviet Liberation Army will stop at nothing to put down the maddened Kazakhs and restore a free, equitable state -
and as long as Kukliński and his soldiers draw breath, the spirit of Poland will never die.

National Spirits:
Not Yet Lost - The Autonomous Soviet Liberation Army is an organization born by defeat after crushing defeat - the
last hope of a coalition of Poles, Russians, and Kazakhs to drive the forces of madness and terror out of Kazakhstan,
and finally build a better place in the wasteland. So long as the Liberation Army endures, hope shall exist for all
those in western Kazakhstan oppressed by ultranationalists and fanatics. With the hope for a better day behind them,
Kukliński’s forces shall drive on to liberate their home, and never stop until the last soldier falls.

The Kipchak Free State

 After Midnight

Head of State: Joint Council of the Free Steppes

Ruling Party: Bush Dalalar Berlәshterelgәn Sovety (BDBS)
Ideology: Authoritarian Democracy (Social Nationalism)

Description: Though their numbers are depleted, the minorities of the steppes have survived. They have hidden in
basements, forests and caves, desperately tried to pass as Russian as the death squads passed by, and forged papers
to escape Taboritsky’s Shturmoviki, but they have been freed by the collapse of the Regent’s nightmare state.
Joining forces in the hope of staving off further destruction, their intense persecution and enslavement has left them
bitter towards Great Russians, despite knowing that all peoples have suffered under Taboritsky. Spurning contact
with the rest of Russia, they will form an isolationist pluralist-ethnostate, where ethnic Great Russians are
encouraged to reject their old identities and assimilate into a 'more moral ethnicity'. No half measures shall be taken
to guard their new Free State from potential oppressors - for the corpse of the Empire is still on their border, and
Larionov still lurks.

National Spirits:
Bitter Survivors - Persecuted by the Tsar’s Empire, and exterminated en masse by the Regent’s, the nations of the
steppe peoples have suffered significant depopulation, oppression, and trauma beyond measure. Bitterly gripping
their rifles, handguns, and axes, the peoples of the Kipchak Free State shall grimly resist to the last, and remain
eternally vigilant and distrustful of those that they see as collaborators with Taboritsky’s horrific regime. Each and
every Great Russian is a source of scrutiny from the government of the Free State - whilst they themselves may not
have committed atrocities, it is Great Russians who have brought horror upon minorities time and time again - and
who is to say that they will not collaborate with yet another oppressor in the future?

The Ural Purification Zone

 After Midnight

Head of State: Yuri Evtukovich

Ruling Party: Komandovanie Imperatorskoy Gvardii - Ural'skiy Region (KIG(UR))
Ideology: Burgundian System (Imperial Cult)

Description: The collapse of the Holy Russian Empire left many stranded Shturmoviki and Imperial Army units
stranded around Russia, and the forces under Yuri Evtukovich are no exception. Stranded and cut off from the main
Imperial remnant in Vyatka by the hateful Trans-Ural Confederation and the Kipchak Free State. Seeing weakness
in the newly established Free State, Evtukovich’s forces, made up of the Second Imperial Guard Division and
several reserve divisions made up of irregular Shturmovik auxiliaries, have plunged into war once more, seeing to
restore Imperial control over the steppes, and finally purge the steppe peoples that have revealed their hand once
more.

National Spirits:
The Horseman’s Ride - Evtukovich has no desire to build anything out of the lands of the Kipchak Free State, nor
does he desire any position other than that of General of the Imperial Guard. His task is merely to cleanse the
rebelling steppe peoples with flame, gas, and shot - and that is what he shall do, in his quest to serve the Blessed
Regent and the Empire. Any method is just, so long as it leads to the Imperial flag rising over the ruins of Kazan
once more - to drown the fields of Russia in the blood of separatists and subhumans is merely a bonus.

The Revolutionary Communes of Orenburg

 After Midnight

Head of State: Mikhail Pervukhin

Ruling Party: Revolyucionnaya Kommunisticheskaya Partiya Orenburga (RKPO)
Ideology: Authoritarian Socialism (Stalinism)

Description: For the denizens of the southern Urals, the temporary triumph of the Burgundian System was all the
proof needed that fascism is too dangerous for mere peasant communes to overcome. Instead, the workers and
peasants must unite under a collective will of iron, armed to the teeth and ready for battle. Thankfully, there is a
particular brand of Bolshevism that thought along similar lines already - one that has been eagerly spread with zeal
by former Party men from Tyumen. Mikhail Pervukhin, a former disciple of Kaganovich, has taken command of the
lands of Orenburg, and begun the process of reshaping Orenburg itself to resist the fascist invader - one that shall
suffer the Tsarist and reactionary not to live.

National Spirits:
The New Land of Iron - With the failure of the old communes to protect the peoples of Orenburg, and the horrific
regime fostered upon the once free communes by Taboritsky’s mad regency, the now-radicalized population of
Orenburg has turned to the ideology professed by the Party men from Tyumen to defend themselves from a potential
Imperial resurgence. Under Pervukhin, Orenburg is being transferred into a land of iron and industry, with every
resource possible being poured into strengthening the state.
The Final Revolution - The effects of Pervukhin’s Revolution have been profound - and hardly pleasant.
Revolutionary fervor has once more gripped Orenburg, trials of collaborators are still underway, and even the
slightest bit of evidence against one’s neighbor may have them facing a revolutionary tribunal. In this state of eternal
revolution against reaction, the new Communes cannot afford to spare mercy.

West Siberia

The Trans-Ural Confederation

 After Midnight

Head of State: Hadji-umar Mamsurov

Ruling Party: Zaural'skiy Komitet Spaseniya (ZKS)
Ideology: Authoritarian Democracy (Sovereign Democracy)

Description: A rag-tag assortment of former slaves, partisans, Ural League and NKVD survivors, Zlatoust
mercenaries and soldiers from Sverdlovsk. They have formed a civilian-led confederation focused around the two
cities of Perm and Zlatoust, representing the western and eastern side of the Urals respectively. They will establish a
stronghold and neutral ground at Mount Yamantau, where Taboritsky once stood and thought himself unassailable -
this will be their de-jure capital. The Trans-Ural Confederation has a single task and purpose - holding fast against
the tide of madness and fascism, standing for all that the Ural Guard once saw as the good in Russia - and protecting
the hundreds of thousands of people that they find themselves ruling over.

National Spirits:

The Chelyabinsk Institute

 After Midnight

Head of State: Nikolai Kardashev

Ruling Party: Sovet Direktorov
Ideology: Authoritarian Socialism (Ultravisionary Socialism)

Description: The Chelyabinsk Institute is an organization considered by many to be enigmatic, elitist, and shadowy.
Indeed, by survivors of Magnitogorsk, it may be considered the second coming of Lysenko - a cabal of technocrats,
visionaries, and scientists that rules over a city with the assistance of their loyal security forces. However, this is not
true in the slightest. In reality, the Institute is a benevolent institution, run as the last enclave of science and vision
within Russia, founded by the combined effort of Ultravisionary refugees, saner scientists from the Black Mountain,
and intellectuals that have fled from all over Russia. In their isolated city, the Institute seeks to build a small enclave
of reason in a wasteland of madness - and will put all of their talents to work in defense of their new home.

National Spirits:
Visionary Enclave - The Institute, above all, is an enclave founded to follow the goal of a better world through
science and reason. The resources of Chelyabinsk have been put to use once more, as means of developing and
manufacturing goods which may be used to reclaim the wastes, and restore a semblance of civilization. Under
Director Kardashev, the Institute is focusing on a way to chemically reclaim the poisoned soil and water of Russia -
and, with the last major concentration of scientists and visionaries in Russia, it may very well be that the Institute is
the last hope for a livable Russia.
The Cutting Edge - While the Institute’s forces are small, the infrastructure of Chelyabinsk means that they are
capable of equipping an army with capabilities that outstrip their size. With each soldier bearing their finest
advances, it is guaranteed that the Institute, if challenged, shall not go quietly.
The Imperial Airborne Brigades
 After Midnight

Head of State: Ivan Melkikh

Ruling Party: Klika Melkikha
Ideology: Despotism (Military Junta)

Description: The remnants of the Regency's air force, never quite as politicised as the army. With the collapse of
central authority, and its ranks filled with particularly nasty men under the rule of their commander, Ivan Melkikh,
they've decided to make out like bandits, and loot and pillage the north of Russia. Using their massive helicopter
fleet, they have fled north to the oil fields near the Arctic Circle, establishing themselves as a force of airborne
raiders who live to pillage and plunder with impunity, still waving the flag of the Regent for the slightest facade of
legitimacy.

National Spirits:

The Nenetsian Free Army

 After Midnight

Head of State: Alexander Evstafievich Zvyagin

Ruling Party: Nenetskiy Revolyucionnyy Komitet (NRK)
Ideology: Libertarian Socialism (Popular Frontism)

Description: Depopulated, yet unbroken, the people of the Nenets have had enough with the collapse of the Holy
Russian Empire, and the beginning of the reign of the Imperial Airborne Brigades over the North of Russia. Rallying
a force of former Free Aviators, native partisans, and miscreants who fled north to escape the Regent’s men,
Alexander Zvyagin has called for the liberation of all of the North from the forces of banditry and perfidy in the
region. Nearly exhausted by the Regent’s purges, with only the home field as their advantage, the Nenets partisans
nevertheless are willing to die for a free Nenetsia - and the end of the hated raiders which have done them so much
harm.

National Spirits:

The Redeemed Black League

 After Midnight

Head of State: Alexander Lazarenko

Ruling Party: Iskuplyonnaya Chernaya Liga (IChL)
Ideology: Ultranationalism (Ultramilitarism)

Description: Even amidst the post-Imperial wasteland, the Black League has endured, protected by the distributed
leadership created by Plan Hydra. In internal exile, the surviving leader of the Black League, Alexander Lazarenko,
has developed a new Thesis - one that implements the lessons learned against the Regent. The Great Trial, according
to Lazarenko, was not against the Germans, but against fellow Russians. The Black League can trust nobody - not
even fellow Russians. Lazarenko’s Redeemed Black League will be a state formed of the purest, untainted by the
foolish notion of a shared Russian heritage. Only those born under Black League auspices, subject to the strictest
regimentation, are pure and worthy. All others are to be considered existential threats -and either expelled or dealt
with in other ways.

National Spirits:
Insular Enclave - Lazarenko believes only those born and raised within the Black League's borders are true
Russians. As such, they keep a close watch on their own population, deter or shoot refugees on sight, and brutally
subjugate any groups that they come into possession of rather than integrating them. Their population is small and
will remain so, but each and every member is fanatical in their devotion, fully prepared to lay down their lives for
the cause.
Redemptionary Service - Whilst the commanders of the Black League maintain that only those born within their
territory are truly worthy of membership, the brutal Redemptionary Brigades remain as a means of acquiring the
birthright. Through years of service in a Redemptionary Brigade, one may finally acquire the right to Black League
membership and gain the league’s trust - if one survives.
The Brotherhood of Cain
 After Midnight

Head of State: Abaddon (Anatoly Andreevich Motsny)

Ruling Party: Bratstvo Kaina
Ideology: Ultranationalism (Fundamentalism)

Description: Following Taboritsky's death, the truth came out - he was, himself, one of the enemy. Horrified by this
revelation, and by the destruction wrought upon Russia by this arch-Jew as part of some greater plot, a large swathe
of the Shturmoviki disavowed their 'rightful' commanders and seized the bunker-city of Omsk. His religion, his
government, his cause - all of it a lie, perpetuated by the Jews to destroy Russia. If God is the enemy, and the old
gods of Russia are dead, there is only one god who can be turned to - He who inspired murder in the mind of the
righteous killer, Cain, and rebelled against all that the Jew-god stood for.

National Spirits:

Kazakhstan

The Kazakh Purification Army

 After Midnight

Head of State: Safa Gaziz

Ruling Party: Qazaq Tazarty Armiasy (QTA)
Ideology: Ultranationalism (Ultramilitarism)

Description: Kazakh military and paramilitary remnants radicalised by Taboritsky's race war. With nothing left to
lose, and consumed by hate, they have become a Kazakh analogue of the Black League, with an even more radical
form of Aktau's ethnosupremacism as part of their ideology. Life for the Poles and Russians of their lands will be
short and brutal.

National Spirits:

The Free Kazakh Clans

 After Midnight

Head of State: Sultanakhmet Konyrkozhaevich Kozhikov

Ruling Party: Qazaqstannyn Halyqtyq-demokratialyq Partiasy (QHdP)
Ideology: Conservative Democracy (Islamic Democracy)

Description: With both their former states and Russia itself destroyed, those Kazakhs outside of any other
authorities have coalesced around their shared heritage and the desire to simply survive. Building a loose
confederation of towns and villages based on mutual aid and defence, new clan identities have been established, and
old ones revived. After all they have been through, few Kazakhs mourn the loss of a centralised government.

National Spirits:

Central Siberia

The Central Eurasian Republic

 After Midnight

Head of State: Mikhail Baganov

Ruling Party: Evraziyskaya Nacional'naya Komissiya (ENK)
Ideology: Despotism (Interim Government)

Description: A pluralist republic formed from just about everyone in the region who opposed Taboritsky and lived
to tell the tale. With Russia now consigned to history, something new is taking shape: a nation where there will be
no more hate, no more sectarianism and no more Nazis. All the peoples of Eurasia will co-exist in peace - and no
threat to their new society will be tolerated.

National Spirits:

The Republic of New Tomsk

 After Midnight

Head of State: Alexander Zinoviev

Ruling Party: Bastilyary
Ideology: Authoritarian Democracy (Guided Democracy)

Description: Tomsk was ravaged by the Shturmoviki like no other city in Russia. Its beauty was smashed to rubble,
and the rubble pulverised to dust. Yet, life endures, and small green shoots rise from the ashes of that grand old city.
Based in the districts of the city that have not been levelled, amongst the local elites entrusted with rebuilding
Tomsk as an imperial city were hundreds of former Bastillards - dedicated civil servants who secretly did all that
they could to resist the influence of Taboritsky’s Empire. With the fall of the Empire, a new government has been
declared, and a new Republic swept into power - led by Alexander Zinoviev, the new Chair of the restored Bastillard
Association.

National Spirits:
Legacy of the Salons - Though they faced great persecution by Holy Russia, some former Salon members -
primarily Bastillards and Decembrists - remained in or near Tomsk throughout Taboritsky’s reign of terror. When
New Tomsk was formed, the Salons were revived, albeit much reduced and with only a shadow of their former
power. For now they have put aside most arguments in the interest of surviving, but only time will tell if this
arrangement will hold.

Crumbling City - Ravaged by the Shturmoviki with several districts levelled completely to suppress its democratic
spirit, Tomsk struggles even as it endures. It will take much time to restore the city to what it once was from the
fraction that remains.

The Kingdom of Altay

 After Midnight

Head of State: Boris Krylov

Ruling Party: Zemsky Sobor
Ideology: Despotism (Absolute Monarchy)

Description: With his siblings and father missing or dead, and the dream of Russia demolished, Boris Krylov has
reluctantly taken up the legacy of the Mad King - though with considerably less eccentricity. Having spent some
time leading a mixture of Russian and Tuvan partisans in the Altay Mountains, he has finally emerged to begin the
process of rebuilding the region. Boris is uncertain whether he wishes to retain the title of king, but its value as a
tool of unification is indisputable, and his kind treatment of non-Russians has endeared him to them.

National Spirits:
The Practical Kingdom: At times, The Kingdom of Altay scarcely feels like a kingdom at all. King Boris is a
monarch without a throne or castle, often going days or weeks without wearing his crown. While his focus on
Altay’s necessities has saved precious lives and resources, the drab nature of his rule has created problems with
morale - how can a nation dream when its leader cannot?

The Siberian Free Territory

 After Midnight

Head of State: Yevgeniya Taratuta

Ruling Party: Sibirsky Anarkhichesky Sovet (SAS)
Ideology: Libertarian Socialism (Anarcho-Communism)

Description: The Black Army might be long gone, and Yuri Galanskov long dead, but the peasants of Kansk were
thankfully beneath Taboritsky's notice. Returning from their exile hiding amongst the peasants, the former
ideologues and committee leaders of the Siberian Free Territory have endured and returned to their anarchist
traditions, under the advisory leadership of Yevgeniya Taratuta. Surrounded by authoritarians of all stripes,
however, it remains to be seen whether or not the Free Territory will be able to endure, or if they shall be forced
underground one more time - or, worst of all, utterly annihilated by the forces that now oppose them.

National Spirits:
Empty Magazines, Full Hearts - With the eradication of the Black Army, the general devastation of Russia, and now
the military state under Mishurenko having turned against them, the Free Territory lacks a lot of the materiel to
wage a modern war. Despite this, every peasant knows they are defending the last chance their communes have at
true freedom, and they fight with this knowledge in their heads and their companions at their side.

The Bratsk Communal Vanguard

 After Midnight

Head of State: Androniy Mishurenko

Ruling Party: Sibirskaya Chernaya Armiya (SCA)
Ideology: Despotism (Military Junta)

Description: Despite those in the Free Territory who held idealistic anarchist beliefs, there have always been those
who have been much less ideological, focusing on material gain and security rather than the true freedom that
anarchism professes. In the wake of the fall of the mad Regent, these differences, always simmering under the
surface, have erupted into a boil, as Androniy Mishurenko engages Companion Taratuta’s Free Territory, seeking to
assimilate it under his own vision for the region. With many of the experienced former Black Army partisans under
his command, Mishurenko is confident in his success over the idealists - but with his forces small in number, it
remains to be seen whether he can triumph.

National Spirits:

Far East

The Russian Empire

 After Midnight

Head of State: Alexei II (Michael Goleniewski)

Ruling Party: Imperskie Loyalisty
Ideology: Despotism (Absolute Monarchy)

Description: The tale of “Alexei II” is an odd one. Born Michael Goleniewski, a Polish immigrant to the USSR, and
a bureaucrat in the intelligence division of Yagoda’s NKVD, Goleniewski was just high up enough to learn some
skills and make connections - whilst still being irrelevant enough to avoid being killed by Taboritsky’s regime when
Irkutsk fell. With the fall of the Regency, and communications to the government lost, Goleniewski has styled his
moustache, put on the most regal outfit he can find, and declared himself to be the Tsarevich returned to the citizens
of Irkutsk. Swept into power by a popular rebellion, “Alexei II” has used his newfound authority in a mad gambit to
save Russia - condemning the Regent, and ordering the end of the killing.

National Spirits:
The Pretender of the People - Russia is once again in a time of troubles, and like the false Dmitris of old, an
imposter has seized the throne. Alexei II, despite his origins, is an odd island of stability in the wastes. Rejecting the
racial theories of the Regent, he takes up the mantle of Peter and Catherine the Great, his enlightened despotism
securing what may be one of the last pockets of sane rule in the new anarchy.
A Red Tsar? - Whilst Alexei II’s past is unknown to the people he rules over, in reality, he was still an NKVD agent,
and a bureaucrat of the Soviet Union. Whilst his hidden, personal ideology may be a far cry from Yagoda’s
bolshevism, Alexei II must still be careful to not break the mythology he has created with radical reforms - the faith
of the people must lie in the Tsar himself, not in dead ideologies.
The Regency of Holy Russia
 After Midnight

Head of State: Andrey Dikiy

Ruling Party: Obshchestvo Vozdrozhdeniya Rossiyskoiy Imperii (OVRI)
Ideology: Burgundian System (Imperial Cult)

Description: Founded as a reaction to the imposter Alexei II in Irkutsk, the Regency of Holy Russia is foremost a
state centered around putting down any opposition to the true Regent - Andrey Dikiy himself. From a radio station
in the Buryatian wilderness, Dikiy has declared himself the legitimate Blessed Regent to the Holy Russian Empire -
and the true Alexei II, in the wake of Taboritsky’s death, essentially declaring independence from the Vyatka
government. From the few villages and towns that he controls, Dikiy’s Regency marches forth against “Alexei”’s far
superior forces, in one more mad gambit to put down the imposter and seize ultimate power over the Far East for
himself.

National Spirits:

The Amur Refugee Zone

 After Midnight

Head of State: Anatoly Sobchak

Ruling Party: Komitet Nacional'nogo Spaseniya Rossii (KNSR)
Ideology: Despotism (Interim Government)

Description: With Taboritsky's mad empire gone, Anatoly Sobchak has returned to Russia to do what he can for its
people. Begging, borrowing or stealing whatever resources are in the area, his makeshift government desperately
seeks the aid of any organization that is willing to assist in order to help the refugees who have flooded the far east.
It seems a hopeless task, but Sobchak cannot bear to see his people suffering so.

National Spirits:
Critical Supply Shortage - Despite Sobchak's best efforts, there are simply too many mouths to feed and not enough
to go around. The people, starving in the cold, are dying - only to be replaced by even more refugees. Foreign aid is
the only possible solution, but until it arrives, they must make do with what they have.

The Free Port of Magadan

 After Midnight

Head of State: Nikolai Abramov

Ruling Party: Klika Abramova
Ideology: Despotism (Military Government)

Description: Rallying what remains of various Russian fleets in the far east, Nikolai Abramov has established his
own petty fiefdom based out of Magadan. Making a living running refugees to the OFN and Sphere and shipping
goods back to Russia to be sold at extortionate prices, he cares nothing for the old ideologies that he once served -
not when there's money on the line, at least.

National Spirits:

The United Siberian Salvation Committee

 After Midnight

Head of State: Nikolai Fedorovich Artamonov

Ruling Party: Obedinennyy Sibirskiy Komitet Spaseniya (OSKS)
Ideology: Authoritarian Democracy (Guided Democracy)

Description: Russia has fallen. That is the core ideal amongst those on Nikolai Feodorvich Artamonov’s United
Siberian Salvation Committee - an organization composed of former bureaucrats, soldiers, and sailors stranded in
Chukotka and the Kamchatka peninsula. With the mainland rendered an apocalyptic disaster, and the rule of the mad
Regent finally lessened, Artamonov’s Committee has turned to a solution some may call brilliant, and others may
call utterly mad. With the support of his government, Artamonov has held referendums amongst the populace for
annexation by the United States of America as an overseas territory, personally seeing to it that the referendums turn
out positively. The will of the people in hand, he has turned across the sea to the United States - seeking foreign
intervention as the only way to save the only slice of Russia that he believes can be preserved. As a US territory,
Kamchatka will not be independent - but, to him, it will be free, and that is what matters.

National Spirits:
A Light from the East: The rallying and propaganda from Artamonov and the OSKS have led to a strange sense of
hope from the Siberian people. Already, wild and idealistic depictions of the United States are abound in
Petropavlovsk as the nation prepares for American salvation. Many in Artamonov’s control know that his promises
may prove empty - but compared to the despots and radicals of years past, there is something meaningful in being
