Ural Territory (1983: Doomsday)

Ural Territory is one of two territories the USSR,the other one being the Alaskan Autonomous Territory.

Doomsday
The territory was of major importance,as it had the wast majority of Soviet oil and gas reserves and it was hit hard during Doomsday. Most of the region descended into anarchy,as people started to fight each other over the lack of any existing government in the region.

Recovery
However,northern parts of the region remained relatively intact,and Siberian officials exerted limited control over the north. In 1986,Siberian soldiers managed to take control of the lawless south and started to control the influx of refugees coming through this region to the USSR. Throughout this time,the Ural Territory was still officially a part of the Russian SFSR,and it was not until the late 90's that the region got its current name

Today
Today the region serves as a screening area for people fleeing the carnage of eastern Europe. People who can prove that they are former citizens of the Soviet Union can freely enter and are given citizen status immediately. For others,things are more difficult. They are hoarded into internment camps until a suitable location for their relocation can be found.They have no rights,as the laws of the Union's Republics do not apply to Territories,and the rule of the military is absolute. Tuleyev has continued to lobby for political freedoms in the region,but the military bloc is still strong and exerts a lot of power in the USSR. However,talks are planed to start on the readmittance into the RSFSR in early 2011.
