Russia

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) also known as the Soviet Union was a pre-war state in Eastern Europe and Asia. Unlike its real world counterpart, it was not dissolved in 1991.

The Soviet Union had a consular service and a foreign service, and had strong consular relations with the United States. There was a Soviet consulate in Los Angeles (the one Natalia's grandfather worked at), suggesting that Soviet-American relations were good enough in 2077 that American and Soviet citizens were able to visit each other's countries as a consulate would be designed to cater to the needs of the citizens of its mother country visiting or working in abroad. . The Soviet Union's status during the Great War was friendly to the U.S.A, and it is not known what role they played during the Great War.
