I'm going to create a baseline for Russia, like Lord Kemrii did. Should be pretty fun.

Government: Semi-Presidential Republic

Head of State & Government: President Spiridonovich Putin

Legislature: Bicameral Federal Assembly of Russia.

Economy: The Russian economy largely relies on manuafacture of small arms and military vehicles, although there is a growing industry for cybertech. There is a sizeable retail and entertainment market, both of which are dominated by businesses from Northern Japan and international businesses from the Kiev Association.
 * Federation Council: Higher 170-senator body that passes laws from the State Duma to the President. All members are chosen by their respective local oblasts, okrugs, and republics through local dumas' elections, which was a change added in the wake of former president Vladimir Putin's death under the leadership of Josef Ivanovich. Mostly free of corruption, although highly volatile and prone to majority views changing quickly.
 * State Duma: Lower 550-member body that includes both Russian elected officials and officials from the Kiev Association (most from Russian puppet states). While elected, there are a substantial amount of officials alleged to be crony officials and due to the Voting Reform Act of 2057, only about three hundred actively vote on laws and bills, others either not being informed of voting dates or being too inaccessible. The Duma is highly conservative, but a significant progressive coalition lead by former New Path leader Alexi Kravchenko is breaking ground in the Duma.

Demographics:
 * Population (Not including puppet states): 323.7 million
 * Religions: Russian Orthodox Church, Christianity, Shinto
 * While the Russian Orthodox Church is still heading strong, with large sections of the ethnic Russian population practicing it, the puppet states of Northern Japan and Ukraine have had a large effect in bringing over newer religions, the dominating of which were the latter two.

Military: The Russian Military is the second most powerful in the world more than half a century after the beginning of the new millenium. While the Russian Ground Forces possesses highly advanced armoured vehicles and low-flying hovercraft, it has not yet tapped into the potential advantages of full-fledged automation, operating a hybrid military.
 * The Russian Ground Forces typically use the NPK-7.62 Assault Rifle (New Generation Kalishnikov), firing the older 7.62 round. However, the RGF is in the process of moving infantry units towards the NPK-EOR1 energy-based Laser Automatic Rifle. Medical units and armoured units use the American-transported 'New Annihilator' M2058 Submachine Gun (from before the U.S government's fleeing), or the PP .40 SMG. For land vehicles, the N-Armata Universal Combat Platform from 2056 fufills the role, in its sixth edition and multiple small variants, such as the N-Armata Light Infantry Vehicle or the N-Armata Amphibious Combat Platform. The RGF also makes use of multiple MV-3 NBVs, attack bicopters, and the MZ-5 PTV, infantry transport helicopters.
 * The Russian Aerospace Forces use the SU-53 Fighter Jet, which has both VTOL capabilities as well as fast maneuverability. It can carry large bombing payloads while flying at high speeds. They also utilise the TU-190, a fast-moving transport plane that carries cargo and supplies. Pilots are also trained in using the PP .40 for protection as well as automated security escorts in the event of crashes. The RAF is also the only part of the military that uses sidearms, the SN-70, a recently-released North Japanese semi-automatic pistol.
 * The Russian Navy has fifteen cruisers, two carriers and over one hundred destroyers. The Russian Navy also no longer uses large amounts of manned aircraft, and the only crafts in widespread use with the Navy are the MV-3 NBV and TU-190. Weapons used on board such ships are almost all energy weapons, most notably the PP-EORR2 SMG.
 * The Russian Strategic Air Command has control over all Russian military forces, the Russian nuclear arsenal and Kinetic Bombardment Satellite, which was built and staffed completely by RAF officers and suppliers.
