Russian Federation (Night of the Living Alternate History Map Game)

History
With the dissolution of the USSR, Russia became it's own independent nation, along with others such as Ukraine, and Belarus. Russia's current leader is Boris Yeltsin, and the Prime Minister is Yegor Gaidar. The economy of Russia is in a moderate state, even after the dissolution of the USSR. As of now Russia still is one of the world's main superpowers, and is one of the only nations to have a nuclear weapon arsenal.

Fossil Fuels
Most of Russia's oil comes from the mountainous Caucasus Region. Because of the Caucasus Region, Russia is the world's second largest natural gas producer in the world as well as the world's largest oil producer. Every day, approximately 9.93 million barrels of oil are produced. Russia also has the world's second largest coal reserve. In 1996, untapped oil reserves were found in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. With the finding of these new oil fields, Russia now produces more than 15+ Million bbl/day. Companies such as Lukoil and Gazprom were heavily invested by the Russian Private Sector. Which then led to international drilling of land, significantly boosting oil production of the Russian Federation to 18+ Million bbl/day.

Agriculture
The total amount of cultivated land in Russia is approximately 1,237,294 km2, the fourth largest in the world. Production of meat and grains has gently risen up over the years. The country soon turned from a grain importer to the world's third largest grain exporter. Russia is also a major contributor to the world's fish supply.

Energy


As the world's largest oil producer while also being the world's second most natural gas producer and is ranked in 8th place for the world's oil reserves, Russia is considered an energy superpower. Russia is the world's third largest electricity producer in the world as well as the world's 5th most renewable energy producer in the world. Large cascades of hydroelectric dams are built along big rivers like the Volga. However, the hydroelectric potential of Siberia still remains unexploited. Currently, the country is the world's 4th largest producer of nuclear energy producer, all nuclear power plants managed by the Rosatom State Corporation. In 1996 investments from the Private Sector led to the construction of large scale electricity projects across Russia. At the Volga River the Rostov Dam is being built and spans more than two kilometers. It's annual production rate will be about 40 to 75 TWh.

Science and Technology


Russia was the first nation in the world to launch the first Earth Orbitiing Artificial satellite, also known as Sputnik 1. The satellite was launched in 1957. In 1961 the first human trip into space was successfully made by Yuri Gagarin. Famous tanks of Russia include the T-34, the best tank design of World War II and further tanks of the T-Series include the most produced tank in the world, the T-54/55. As of 1996 founders of various computer manufacturers and software engineers moved to Russia to seek refuge from the infection. Companies such as Intel, Nvidia, msi, AMD, and ASUS were heavily invested in, which led to the major share holders being the Russian Private Sector.

Geology of Russia
Russia is currently the world's largest country, which extends over most of northern Eurasia.

Caucasus Region
The Caucasus Region is a mountainous region located on the south-western part of Russia extending off towards Georgia and Armenia. Tall mountains stand like obelisks dividing the old Soviet remnant states of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan from Russia. Most of the world's oil is located in the Caucasus Region and was also one the world's greatest battle ground's during the Great Patriotic War between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. As of this day a monument in the city of Volgograd (Formerly known as Stalingrad), named the Mamayev Kurgan stands tall to commemorate the Battle of Stalingrad (August 1942 - February 1943). An estimate of 1.4 million lost their lives in the Battle of Stalingrad

Ural Mountains
The Ural Mountains, or simply the Urals, are a chain of mountains that runs north to south through western Russia. The mountains lie within the Ural geographical region and are rich in various deposits, such as metal ores, coal, and semi-precious to precious stones.

Architecture
Since the Christianization of Kievan Rus' for several ages, Russian architecture was influenced predominately by the Byzantine architecture. Some well known pieces of Russian architecture located within Russia, is St. Basil's Cathedral, and the Russian capital building, The Kremlin.

Sports
Combining the total amount of medals from the Soviet Union, Russia is second among all nations by number of gold medals. Some popular sports within Russia include Ice Hockey and Soccer.

National Holidays


Victory Day is one of the biggest national holiday's within Russia; it commemorates the victory against Nazism in the Great Patriotic War. A huge military parade is held at Moscow in the Red Square. The parade is hosted by the President of Russia. Similar parades take place in other cities that have the current status of Hero City. Some Hero Cities include Volgograd (Formerly Stalingrad), St. Petersburg (Formerly known as Leningrad), and Odessa.

History
The Russian Armed Forces is the largest military force in the world as of 1989. With over 6,000,000 troops that are active and in the reserves.

Doctrines/Strategies
Since World War II the usual strategy for Ground Forces are Human Wave Attack tactics. However, with the fall of communism, these tactics can no longer be used. New tactics have soon been adopted into the Russian Armed Forces, such as Shock Tactics, Blitzkrieg, Carpet Bombing, Interdiction, and many more.

Strategic Deterrence
The Russian Navy has more than one hundred Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarines, and Guided Missile Submarines in it's arsenal to ensure M.A.D, Mutual Assured Destruction in case the nation is under attack. However, with the end of the Cold War most submarines now roam along neutral waters instead of the United States and the coasts of it's allies.
