Modern Russia Lore [From 2015 to 2415]

The beginnings of the Russia's modern day lore begin's in the 2010's after the presence of supernatural beings became publicly known to the world. Following the aftermath of Ender's war and the War for the Soul King, there was a time of relative pace up until 2150 that began in the year 2013.

In this time, Russia saw relatively huge gains in terms of their population. Without any constant conflict to worry themselves over, most of the civilian base of the country saw gains upwards of two million new born Russians per year. By the end of 2150, they had a base of 300 million people. This was because of the influx of new supernatural beings and it was considered a baby boom of sorts since most of the major wars that had broken out in years prior had ended. Thus, a major period of growth was had.

With many of the resources they were attaining from new supernatural beings pledging their allegiance to the country, their economy, military, health, technology and defenses sky rocketed. By the time the 2030's had came around, Russia was considered an ultra power in the world and the bitter rivalry between America and Russian seemed to be reignited as both countries were in a scatter to tap further into this unknown world of superpowers.

In fact, there were even a few small battles that were waged between America and Russia due to this conflict. However, after bombing each of their capital cities in a high-scale terror attack in the year 2035, each of them believed that the potential their powers held were too great and would cause another global war. So, to end things, they came to a treaty and remained on neutral, but unsteady terms. If only out of mutual interest of not destroying the planet in their conflict.

Nevertheless, these small wars allowed them to achieve major leaps in their technology from extreme need. Things such as hyper sonic vactrains, artificial intelligence on par or somewhat higher than human intellect, force fields that were in military use, man-made control of the weather, large-scale civilian settlements on the moon and even mind uploading were common place towards the later part of these peace era years.

This lead to them eventually even applying to that their own soldiers in some cases. With a mixture of supernatural powers and metaphysical science, they were able to otherwise produce super solider and android made enforcement in terms of their military and police forces. This led to them otherwise yielding a strong defense within their borders and made them a force not to be tampered with.

But, more than that, a person named Radioactive had established "The Russian Civil Force" during this era as well. This agency was created in 2050 and stemmed from the conflict in America and abroad. The Russian Civil Force was a small faction of heroes and other civilians or supernatural beings whom wanted to help protect the borders of Russia from any sort of invaders, threats and so on. Together, with his oversight and plundering of resources, they were able to otherwise maintain a strong neutral zone as the years went on.

And, given all of these bountiful leaps, even the average man's work week was reduced to only 15 hours. This meant that most of the civilians of this time could enjoy other pursuits and work further towards advancing their country. However, this wouldn't last forever. The outlook of World War Three put a damper on most of these major leaps that Russia was coming toward in the year 2150.

WORLD WAR THREE [2150 to 2200]

In terms of World War Three, Russia was put on a heavy strain and had their durability tested to hell and back during this time period. When the influx of Demon's, Hollow's and other antagonist forces came from the shadows, they were in a seize of constant battle, war and destruction for the next fifty years. However, unlike other countries, Russia did not entirely fall during this period. Instead, they were able to keep themselves afloat with the help of The Russian Civil Force.

Through the RCF, most of the major cities were left standing in the wake of this bizarre war taking place in the world. There were a constant series of battles between heroes and those wanting to take up the mantle to protect Russia from these foreign invaders. They were not about to be defenseless and they were using the countries resources to the best of their ability. This allowed them to win 70% of their battles more often than not.

It was still a very dangerous time to live in Russia, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have possibly given the outlook of some other less-defended countries and smaller nations. One of the bigger heroes that emerged out of Russia during this time period was Radioactive. Radioactive was responsible for leading many types of different purges that resulted in most of the rapid threats to Russian being annihilated and crushed. With his genocide based power, he helped established a means of sanctuary for those on Planet Earth to have a safe zone in Russia when all else was otherwise chaotic.

Another legend that was made during this time was the likes of James Mizumuzi. He was responsible for helping bring great order and balance in the way he handled diplomacy on behalf of Russia. The man had a knack for dealing with political affairs, governmental deals and handling the public. And, on top of his abilities as a leader, he was also able to stand side by side with Radioactive in clenching Russia of their enemies for the betterment of their people.

Together with these two beings efforts, they were otherwise dubbed the kings of Russia and were revered as great heroes of Russia. Thus, they were granted heavy influence and power in terms of political oversight when it came to Russia due to how influential they were in protecting it and gaining the peoples trust. They were seen as figures of hope much like Queen Elizabeth was to her people during her rule in London throughout their tough and rigid times.

For, with their work, and the Russian Civil Force protecting the civilians of Russia, they were able to otherwise allow Russia to continue to flourish after a decade of fighting. This then led to the continuation of their resources being brought to new standards due to the heavy conflict they were in. And, despite the world being under siege in war, Russia became one of the most profitable and economically sound countries of the time due to how they profited off this supernatural war.

In terms of medical assistance? They were able to deliver nanomachines to battlefields in order to help swiftly mend the sick and wounded across numerous war grounds on Earth. This helped to bolster their alliances with other countries and strengthen their wealth by distributing these care packages throughout the globe. This helped to otherwise greatly lower the potential causalities that could have resulted i n the war.

With their military strength? The Russians proved to hold strong in protecting other neighboring nations during this time and they were paid handsomely because of it. This then led to more military jobs being produced with the increased population and more money trickling down into their economy.

This led to further prosperity for the average citizen of Russia. And as the war waged on, they started to find great pride and honor in their country. For, as others began to fell, they stood tall among the flames and held themselves as a beckon of hope for mankind and Earth.

Soon enough, when the war was reaching it's final stages, Russia was on the cusp of another renaissance once the darkness of World War Three started to ease up. Sure, they suffered a few million casualties, but the overwhelming majority of their population was sustained and even grew to almost four hundred million by the turn of the new century. They were QUITE shaken during this period, but they still stood strong and sought to isolate themselves after the war was over.

AFTERMATH [2200 TO 2409]

Foreseeing where things were headed with Earth in terms of most of the large scale conflicts at the time, Russia decided to otherwise become more withdrawn from the world stage. They still were a booming business behind the scenes, but they wanted no part in taking any real major stance this way or another on the world stage. Instead, they focused on otherwise fortifying their resources to make their nation as durable as possible against invasion.

Therefore, with the war having died down, there was a relatively lull of growth for the first ten years of this era as they began to sort themselves from the wreckage, redefine their lives and otherwise move on with things. However, once a decade had passed, another boom in technological advances was seen.

One of the first major discoveries that were found in Russia was the development of Antimatter Power plants. This became widespread during the years of 2220 to 2260. These were new forms of power production becoming necessary in order to cope with the ongoing rise in energy demands of their country and elsewhere. They had a population of almost 500 million and it was simple an absolute that they required more fuel to feed their people.

Thus, this new generation of power plants provided the solution to their energy crisis. These were very advanced facilities that yielded the capability of harnessing the energy released in matter/antimatter collisions. The reactions involved are 1,000 times more powerful than fission produced in nuclear power plants and 300 times more powerful than nuclear fusion energy.

With this came another influx in revolutionizing Russia for the better. One of the first things that resulted from this was more impervious force fields being forged around most of their borders and major cities. Shields that were strong enough to even withstand multiple assaults from the likes of Espada level Arrancar. This then led to them being able to otherwise plant Russia as a neutral zone in the present day era.

They were also the first nation in the new age in order to fund Anti-Matter fueled starships. These ships were designed to be fast enough to reach nearby stars within relatively short rates of time. One of the main reasons for this is because the "ring" like shape of these un-manned craft contained matter-antimatter fuel and purposefully collided to release vast amounts of energy for thrust. Then, the energy used in these vessels also helped to maintain their stability and project fields around the craft, protecting it from meteoroids and other incoming hazards.

With this achievement made, Russia's space program exploded and brought another expansion of wealth into their country as they led the frontier in mankind's expansion of the stars with their deep-space missions. But, more importantly, there were also manned explorations later towards the end of the 2300's. Modified human bodies, brains, androids and superhuman and supernatural creatures were able to abroad these craft to escape Earth if they so wished. As they would be able to to better cope and endure the long and harsh journeys than natural, unaided humans could.

And, going further into detail, the tampering of mind uploading further come to be in the later years of 2300; nearing the end of the century as well. They were able to improve the mind uploading process and give Russian citizens a dizzying array of options to transfer their conscious mind into synthetic and artificial bodies. By the 2400's, a person could choose from a plethora of artificial bodies to suit their mood or occasion. These may be human, cybernetic, robotic, demonic or even animalistic in nature in terms of how exotic the body customization process could be in some cases.

For instance, an individual could upload their mind into the body of a rat and go into the wild for days. Or, they could swap bodies with relatives to better get an understanding of how other races work. However, this isn't a perfect science. There were quite a few reports of personality glitches occurring, deaths from various spirits being incompatible with others and malfunctioning of powers when it came to cross-racial mind transfers. Therefore, some of the public were at ends with this and a sizable amount of the population opt'd to otherwise retain their greatly enhanced, but organic bodies.

As with Russia's great leaps in nanotechnology did they otherwise manage to increase the lifespan of the average citizen to roughly three hundred to four years by given by some estimates. This was reinforced by the fact that with the previous booms they experianced, there were still purely organic humans living from the 21st century. And, in other cases, the superhuman growth and evolution of the human species caused other members of the human race to otherwise further their longevity and health. So through a mixture of supernatural and ultra technological leaps did their quality of life bolster greatly.

In fact, by the turn of the 25th century, Russia was officially classified as a type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale. A large cluster of the regions of Earth that Russia's terrority occupied harnessed natural energy in some way or another. There were massive clusters of land, sea and atmosphere that were modified into a series of colossal power grids using wind energy, solar energy from the sun, hydroelectric and geothermal technologies. These were then supplemented by fusion and antimatter power plants, along with wholly new forms of energy production that were unknown to scientists in previous centuries with the help of the supernatural factor that was ever present since the beginning of the 21st century.

With their population now at 500,000,000, their need for energy was greater than it ever has been in the past. But, around the end of 2409, these problems were otherwise addressed with further solar absorption from the orbit above Russia. Numerous and intricate space stations were formed in order to otherwise harvest every bit of solar radiation being bounced back into space. These stations eventually formed a massive web that encircled all territories of Russia and the web produced attractive forces between each other, forming an invisible "shield" absorbing solar radiation from literally the entire nation.

The vast amount of energy now available to humanity within Russia had created enormous wealth and prosperity. Ultimately, they turned into one of the unbeknownst superpowers of Earth. Russia's physical infrastructure had become totally revolutionized in the year 2400 .Teleporters were readily available for civilian use to travel to different sections of the planet and country, gargantuan skyscrapers reached miles into the sky, and material needs were greatly reduced. Virtual worlds are quite common place, the security of their borders are heavily secured, technology is at an apex point and human longevity is at its best.

PRESENT DAY [2410 TO 2415]

Thus, going into the 25th century, Russia has firmly established itself in the world as a harden neutral zone for those who seek a good and fair life. Humans and supernatural beings alike seem to be in great co-operation with one another. As, unlike most other countries of this era, most of their policies, laws and territories were divided evenly among the races. Humans and supernatural forces have worked together to forge an intense fighting force of a nation.

Most Russians are relatively content with their lifestyle and are fond of the changes. While, in other places, there are those who choose to live more naturally and away from most of the advances the mainlands have created. Some have even picked up traits from Radioactive himself and suit to purely achieve their goals organically. Whereas others have entirely given themselves to trans humanism and technological evolution. The path a citizen takes is ultimately theirs.

As, in the 25th century, most work has been greatly reduced to allow only five hour work weeks; leading those who wish to work to be more rewarded than those who sought the bare minimum. Many people are free to train, explore themselves or live as they chose. While it is no utopia, there is enough resources to go around to ensure that most can live a satisfactory life when it comes to the standards that the 25th century poses for humankind. Those, reinforcing a sense of self-sufficient and pride that still holds true of that old Russian spirit these people have been known for throughout the centuries.

And so, Russia is now an odd mixture of absurdly advanced civilization, modern-level civilization (think current day Earth) and tribal-like societies living under one nation. While, further towards the heavens, they've expanded to floating cities to further house their growing population and formed space colonies above Earth to help with this effort. Even towards the sea, they've established many smaller islands to help expand the range of Russia and help constantly advance their people.
