===The Soviet Union===

Without the Nazi's skill in magic, the Soviet Union has turned instead to good ol' Soviet Science to provide them with a worthy counter. The vast industrial giant strip-mines massive quantities of metal and ore to mass-manufacture the fruits of their research: massive, nuclear-powered tanks and power armour. While the core of the army is still its massed infantry, the way is led by these clanking, smoke-belching engines of destruction.

The Soviet Union is now led by a aging Valery Sablin who overthrew the gestalt mind constructed from Stalin, Lenin and Trotsky that is described as “The Abomination of Science that corrupts the ideas of The Long Dead Revolutionary Fathers and defiles their name and body.” by Sablin during a mutiny of his in 1975 in where he delivered a inspiring Speech in Leningrad, which began “The Second Red October” in which the old government collapsed in a mere month under the weight of it’s crimes.

Soviet society is split between three areas, the centralised administration cities (Moscow, Vladivostok, New Stalingrad on the West Coast), the hardworking industrial cities (Magnitogorsk etc) and the slow paced collective farm villages spread across the Union providing bountiful foods. The central cities are towering piles of steel and concrete molded into beautiful neo-Soviet style architectures, an image of the communist utopia Sablin dreams of one day the world will become. Beneath the streets is a vast support network of tunnels that used to be filled with oppressed workers toiling in the undercity to supply the world above. Where the Thieves World was literal, as are the "roofs" criminal gangs who operated under. Now most of it has been converted to underground metros to provide accessible public transport to the populace, though much is kept as is in a stark reminder of what happens when science goes too far. Industrial cities are somewhat worse off, practicality out weights aesthetics here. With most being geared towards war and necessity production with the ever looming threat of war, though some towns have been slowly shifted towards luxury production with the uneasy peace being kept. The morale however is kept up by ever shortening work hours with the arrival of automation and the promise of rewards for exceeding quotas. The collective farms vary more, but tend to be small and efficient. The pace of life is slow there, with perhaps some of the shortest working hours in the union during particular seasons. It is a safe and perhaps comfortable life; but also not a life for the ambitious, with little prospect of climbing up the social ladder beyond joining the local Soviet for those who choose to spend their entire life there.

====Notable Soviet Cities====
'''Moscow''' - Capital

'''Vladivostok''' - Larger than in our timeline due to increased Soviet Pacific presence. Underwent a massive boom during the early years of the American invasion.

'''Novo Stalingrad''' - Formerly the city of San Francisco. The administrative center of Soviet America. 

'''Novo Arkhangelsk''' - Formerly Anchorage (Sitka was rather too small to take up the title again). Local administrative center for Alaska.

'''Novo Sevastopol''' - Formerly Los Angeles. Smaller than in our timeline due to focus on building up Novo Stalingrad, and due to stricter immigration. A center of Soviet Propaganda Film Production and retirement destination for loyal elderly servants of the Soviet Union. Disneyland was still built but is rife with Communist Propaganda.
