USSR

The Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), was a federal socialist state in Northern Eurasia that existed from 1922 to 1991. Nominally a union of multiple national Soviet republics, it was a one-party state governed by the Communist Party, with Moscow as its capital in its largest republic, the Russian SFSR. Other major urban centers were Leningrad (Russian SFSR), Kiev (Ukrainian SSR), Minsk (Byelorussian SSR), Tashkent (Uzbek SSR), Alma-Ata (Kazakh SSR) and Novosibirsk (Russian SFSR). It was the largest country in the world by surface area, spanning over 10,000 kilometers (6,200 mi) east to west across 11 time zones and over 7,200 kilometers (4,500 mi) north to south. Its territory included much of Eastern Europe, parts of Northern Europe, and all of Northern and Central Asia. Its five climate zones were tundra, taiga, steppes, desert, and mountains. Its diverse population was collectively known as Soviet people.

Appearance
 Male Version :

Note: the male version is the most popular version that fandom defines, given that the USSR is conclusively described as male.

USSR is one of the CountryHumans characters. His face looks like a flag of the USSR. He wears an ushanka with a red star on top, where the star is the surrounding area is light brown, the rest of the ushanka except the Soviet star (being red) and the fluff on the bottom of the ear tufts being the same light brown. Sometimes he would be seen with an eyepatch with the hammer and sickle covering his left eye, this eyepatch is mostly black to highlight the yellow sickle and the hammer.

 Female Version :

Note: this is a little-known version due to the fact that this country is mainly described as male, however, she at least has two of her most popular versions.

On the first one, USSR wears the same clothes of her male version, the only difference is that she puts two black belts, the first is placed on her waist in a horizontal way, the second is connected to the first and placed in a vertical/oblique way, it's in order to install her weapon behind her back to be used in the time of need. Sometimes, instead of the ushanka, she's described with a military hat intended for female soldiers or officers, some of whom describe her with an eyepatch with the hammer and sickle covering her left eye just like her male version, while some wouldn't.

When it comes to the second version, she wears a light brown shirt with long and puffed sleeves, a black belt placed on her waist and a mini skirt in the same color, as she puts a crown of pink flowers with a red ribbon on her head, it used among the fandom is few compared to the first; because it shows the USSR with cute and harmless appearance contrary to her brutal and sinister personality, which is something many fans don't like or feel comfortable to see.

Trivia

 * The Soviet Union is part of one of the most popular "ships" in the fandom. It is him and the "Third Reich". However, this ship causes a lot of controversies as it is not moral at all to ship the two. In fact, recently a lot of the fandom has been wanting to put a stop to the ship.
 * This, apart from the dictatorial history of both countries, is the reason why the USSR and the Third Reich are the most hated characters in the fandom.
