Fiction:State of Siberia

"The Euraspact does not waste time, resources, or people. If there is anything the war has taught us, it's that efficiency is the only thing that matters in the dark universe."

- High Administrator Sophia Lenko

The Euraspact is a human nation formed out of multiple Eastern European, North Asian and Central Asian states in the late 21th century after the Russian Federation's collapse during the Oil Crisis of 2084 and the following energy revolution. Founded by a charismatic politician Viktor Bronski, the Euraspact has successfuly rebuilt Eurasia from the ashes of civil war and ecological collapse, allowing it to achieve new levels of greatness and power.

Now in the 28th century, the Euraspact is one of the most potent and advanced human nations and a spacefaring civilisation. Having gone from a loose coalition of feuding stated to a powerful stellar domain, the Euraspact continues to expand, both by colonising uninhabited worlds and uplifting pre-spacefaring alien spacies. Although not the most widespread human starfaring empire, the Euraspact is definitely one of the largest; thanks to its uplifting program and extensive colonialism, it holds dominion over many star systems both in Milky Way and beyond.

The Euraspact's imperialistic nature, however, makes it somewhat disliked among the rest of humanity, with the in particular having a relatively dim view of its policies. These tensions have sometimes led to all-out war with other human factions, such as during the Nichiro Crisis when the clashed with the Euraspact over a star system in the distant parts of human space. Neverthless, it remains to be a respected nation sharing cordial relationships with many starfaring empires, both human (such as the ) and alien (such as the.

The Oil Withdrawal
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1991 and the fall of the communist bloc, the Russian Federation became an energy superpower that supplied the rest of the world with oil, gas, and other raw materials. Although this decision allowed Russia to maintain its wealth, it had proven to be rather unsuccessful in long term: as oil began to become less important in world economics with the development of new energy technologies, Russia's stability began to drop. This, coupled with significant corruption present in Russian government, led to slow but steady decay in the Russian Federation's society which had ultimately reached its climax during the Oil Crisi of 2084, when most oil and gas deposits in Russia (as well as the rest of Earth) had finally ran out, thus leaving it without its most important resource.

Although the government of the Russian Federation did attempt to stop the rising tide of people's uprising, the gears of revolution had already been set into motion. Soon, most if not all of Northern Eurasia was plunged into civil war spurred by ambitious warlords and criminals. Within years what was once Russian territory, already ravaged by decades of ecological neglect, became a lifeless wasteland devastated by warfare and bloodshed. The global warming that engulfed Earth in late 21th century further scarred the region by sinking one of the only stable Russian remnants left, the Ingrian Republic, under the ocean waves. While other nations expanded and colonised stars, Northern Eurasia (as the region became known) remained in chaos, desperate for a leader to unite it. Such leaders did appear.

The Second Russian Civil War
After a long period of complete anarchy, order started to return slowly and two major blocs arose in the post-apocalyptic Russia: a right-wing nationalist bloc known as the Slavic Union based in the European part of Russia and the Reformation Council, a more liberal group led by the remnants of the Russian Federation's intelligentsia and various former anti-government activists that controlled a large portion of Siberia and the Russian Far East. Although the Council owned much more land that was also much more suitable to live on after the global warming, the Slavic Union had a large advantage of its own: extensive industrial complex left in Europe.
