Russian Confederation

Following the Russian Revolution, the Nowogrodek Federation became the largest and leading constituent of the Russian Republic, the world's first constitutionally all-democratic unionist state. The Russian Republic played a decisive role in the Allied victory in World War II, and emerged as a recognized superpower and rival to the United States during the Cold War. The Russian era saw some of the most significant technological achievements of the 20th century, including the world's first human-made satellite and the launching of the first humans in space. By the end of 1990, the Russian Republic had the world's second largest economy, largest standing military in the world and the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. Following the dissolution of the Russian Republic in 1997, twelve independent republics emerged from it: Nowogrodek, Zlatoust, Pechora, Urdestan, Siberia, Ukraine, Novorossya, Don-Kuban, Odessa, Carpathian-Ruthenia and the Baltic states regained independence. Nowogrodek Federation reconstituted itself as the Russian Confederation and is recognized as the continuing legal personality and sole successor state of the Russian Republic.
