Proposed Republics of the Soviet Union (New Union)

During the time of the First Soviet Union, only three states proposed to become Soviet republics: Afghanistan, Bulgaria, and Pridnestrovie. Today, there are numerous movements and proposals for new Union Republics of the Soviet Union.

Successful

 * Abkhazia
 * Caucasuia
 * Kaliningrad
 * Mongolia
 * Nakhchivan
 * Pridnestrovie
 * South Ossetia

Crimea
The Crimea is an Autonomous Republic located in the Ukraine. During the first years of the Soviet Union, the Crimea was part of the Russian SFSR, but was moved to Ukrainian administration in 1954. The region was generally considered Union Republic material, as its relationship with the Ukraine and its autonomy allowed the region to grow economically and culturally.

But beginning in 2005 and the radical democratic reforms of Viktor Yushchenko, it appeared that the chances of the Ukraine leaving the USSR was greatest between 2005 until 2010. Though the Ukraine never declared sovereignty, the Crimea was fearing the Ukrainian reforms.

Afghanistan
Though the Soviet Union has agreed not to intervene on Afghanistan's political future, the newly formed and the Afghan people have been moving towards Soviet admission since 2008. Several proposals have been made for Afghanistan to become a Union Republic as a measure of gaining stability in the post war years.

The Soviet ruble has become more used in the northern provinces of Afghanistan and the capital of Kabul.

People's Republic of China


Since the reformations and growing alliances between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China, the idea of a "Sino-Soviet Union" has become discussed in both nations. Several movements, including the, have moved towards this as a stance of gaining federalism and sovereignty to the tightly central Chinese government. In one proposal, China would be annexed by the USSR. It has been proposed that Uyghuristan and Tibet would be split off from China as their own republics, with the remaining becoming a "Chinese Federation." As part of the proposal, the USSR agreed that in such an event that this were to happen, Tibet and Taiwan would not be included in any Soviet expansion, leaving the option open for either Soviet membership of full independence.

Another idea involving federalism includes the "Duel-Capital Proposal." In similar manner to how South Africa has three capitals, it was proposed that the USSR would gain a new capital city. The argument takes its ideas from the large size of the USSR in the event of a "Sino-Soviet Union," and that a second capital would not only help equalize the power of the nation, but may be a convincing point for China to consider. As part of the proposal, Moscow (which is a Union City) would remain the executive capital (in which the President would reside), while Beijing would become its own Union City and would become the legislative capital (in which the Union Assembly would relocate). Though not part of the proposal, Kabul has been mentioned to become a potential Judicial capital.
