SpanishSpy has given me the permission to continue the timeline The Hammer, The Sickle, The Earth, since he left this site in 2013. I will continue on with his ideas.

Soviet Union
The Soviet Union is the largest country in the world. It currently comprises all of the Russia, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, Germany, Korea, China, Indochina, majority of the Middle East, Alaska, Yukon, and British Columbia. It also administers the Soviet Pacific Trust Territories and the island of Cuba (which incorporated itself within the USSR following the Purge of the Revisionists). It is colloquially known as the "Soviet Empire" and is stated to be larger and much stronger than both the Mongol and the British Empire. The USSR and its allies recently won the Fourth World War, thus plastering its image as an unstoppable juggernaut.

Possible Collapse of the Soviet Union
"Fifty years have passed, but... I do not age. Time has lost its effect on me. Yet, the suffering continues. Aku's grasp chokes the past, present... and future. Hope is lost. Gotta get back... back to the past... Samurai Jack." However, the Soviet Union has been concerned with the thought of overextending itself during the Fourth World War. As such, cracks have started to appear, though for now minimal. The Hammer and Sickle still flies strong, but not for long.

SpanishSpy told me he intended for the USSR to be the global power for another decade or two. This would make collapse complete around 2026-2027. I intend to write later this 2017 (as per Wiki rule), that insurgencies will occur throughout parts of the USSR and its territories it annexed during the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution.

Soviet Civil War
After the insurgencies became in full swing, the Soviet Union will be at a civil war. Pro-independence fighters would use this as an advantage. The countries of Western Europe, the CSA, a possible reformed US, and a federation of Asia Pacific Countries of the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, and other countries will send aid to the rebels.

Possible Aftermath (to be fleshed out)

 * As with OTL during the early 1990s, much of the Soviet Republics will secede.
 * Canada retakes Yukon and British Columbia.
 * Alaska either becomes independent or under Cascadia/Canada/California protectorate.
 * Germany becomes independent and annexes Kaliningrad Oblast, possibly restoring Prussia.
 * The Middle East becomes a no-man's land after multiple factions fight against the Red Army.
 * China becomes unified under a democractic government.
 * Korea declares independence from the Soviet Union, possibly going to restore the Monarchy or the Republic of Korea.
 * Western Europe may get its prestige back.
 * Formation of a new NATO analogue

Reformation of the United States
The United States dissolved in 1986 after much instability from a world dominated by the Soviet Union. What was responsible for this was the last President, Walter Mondane, reacting to threats made by Soviet premier Molotov. The American public at this time was already tired from picking fights with the USSR which after two wars (Cuba and Nicaragua), did not want to anger the Red Bear. As a result, Washington State secedes first, followed by Texas, California, and New York. In August 19, 1986, the American South reformed the Confederate States of America; taking the places of the USA in the UN Security Council and elements of the former U.S. military. On September 4, 1986, the U.S. Congress met one last time and officially dissolved the Union. The Post-Union States comprise what became of the former United States and its overseas territories.

American Spring
Talks of reforming the United States, as the American spirit revives, would probably take place around 2017-2020 when insurgencies start appearing within the Soviet Union. These patriotic Americans, will probably take the group name Sons of Liberty, Liberty or Death, or the American Tea Party. They will promote the ideals of American culture to post-Union states, specifically in New York, Pennsylvania, New England, and New Hampshire. Of course, they will be met with heavy criticism since the image of the USA has been tainted with the Third World War, the Cuban War, and the Nicaraguan War. Just like in OTL 2011 when the Arab Spring occurred, there will be various protests taking in cities calling for the reformation of the USA. They will be bringing with them former U.S. flags and other patriotic symbols.

Reformation
I actually discussed this with SpanishSpy and he told me most of the East Coast would probably fall under the reformed Stars and Stripes. It would comprise the secessionist states of New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire. It would most likely set up capital in Philadelphia (as it was the historical capital of the USA).

Relationship with other Post-Union States
The newly reformed USA would have tense relations with the Confederate States of America. Other Post-Union states would probably have low diplomatic relations as per the tainted image of the former U.S.

Flag
The newly reformed U.S. would probably use the 48-star flag, as it many would believe it would one day reclaim the much of the former continent. Others will probably use a 50 or a 51-star flag, due to the motivation of reclaiming Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico and incorporating them as states. However, there are also ones who call for the use of a 9-star flag as the current reformed USA comprises of the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.
