Imp, the NU would actually have a slight population advantage on Siberia. Their supply lines and military are certainly in better shape, and in any conflict between the two, short of Siberia using nukes, Siberia loses. There is simply no way that they would get the forces to the areas in question. Add to that that the NU forces are, overall, actually more modernized than Siberia's, and the web of allies they have is more than a match for Siberia.

The Russian Confederacy, remember, does possess some nukes. Siberia really cannot touch them. The URC is on some level working towards them, too, though they aren't anywhere close.

Can't get at all of the other states. Far too westward, and through other ones - namely the Confederacy.

The Khanates, etc. in Central Asia are, as Fed noted, rather populous. And Siberia's got enough problems in Aralia. No way they can move more in that direction, especially with their recent takeover of Imperial China.

And, quite frankly, the west is more unified than you think.

Siberia really won't be able to go further into China. Just too many Chinese - and Taiwan won't stand them going south much further, either.

South Africa likely isn't going to be more than it is right now. While the states did have, obviously, some common interests, they do have a lot of differences.

The New USA is, as far as I know, going to keep doing more of what it is doing right now.
