Overview[]
The Soviet Republic of Provideniya, (or more commonly abbreviated to as just the S.R.P) are a small nation founded on the north eastern tip of Russia. The name Provideniya was named after the settlement from which the nation was founded in. The S.R.P are a communistic nation and often serves to preserve the values of Marx within their borders. This has earned them a place in the Red Star Alliance, a worldwide communist union that comprises of several powerful Socialist countries.
History[]
The Soviet republic of Provideniya was founded on the 31st of December 1991,6 days after the official dissolution of the Soviet Union. Die-hard supporters of the former regime sought to congregate together and form their own nation where the rules and traditions of the former USSR would be preserved. Most of these supporters were commissars and generals from the Soviet Air Force and Soviet Navy. Utilizing their resources, these generals lead their loyal soldiers to the North Eastern Russian port city of Provideniya. They quickly occupied the city with little to no fighting involved. These former Soviet soldiers now serve as the backbone of the S.R.P army. Following this event, the newly formed Russian Federation deemed the S.R.P as a traitorous organization and several border conflicts have often sprung out from time to time.
Development in the 90's[]
The S.R.P was still pretty much third world after their formation. With the populace having barely enough to eat and much infrastructure still 50 years old. Not to mention the currency being very weak and almost useless. The leaders of the S.R.P (known as the Committee) initiated a plan to modernize their nation and improve living conditions. Exports of fish, coal and marble increased dramatically and the country's GDP also improved.
2000's[]
The country's economy has improved significantly in the past decade, however food shortage and outdated military equipment were still a problem. Despite these factors,the S.R.P remained an isolationist nation..reluctant to open up to the world.
2010's[]
It was during this time that the S.R.P finally passed a legislation to allow diplomacy within the country and allow foreign contractors to enter. In the year 2014, the S.R.P made an arms deal with a foreign PMC known as "Greystorm". Not long after, another foreign communist power, the Tbonian People's Republic of Tbonia offered their aid in the form of hundreds of thousands of Kalashnikov rifles, several tanks and aircraft. The Provideniyans forged an alliance with the TPRoT and this allowed them access into the global communist union known as the Red Star Alliance.
