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.

He is among the popular characters of the fandom because of the headcanon and story the fandom had created for him.

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.

Personality
He's generally described as a very violent, evil, cruel, cold, and distant person. He only accepts all countries as long as they respect his authority and ideology. At first, he may seem courteous and kind but, in reality, he's a sociopath and psychopath and not in a good way. He loves to boast of having a greater number of victims and conquered lands than those of the Third Reich. Besides, there are some describe him as a rude and annoying person in often-times, as they describe him as a vodka addict (sometimes as a Pepsi addict, for historical reasons), sometimes even as a smoker. But also, he is always shipped with Third Reich, and some people hate these characters because of that.

Interests
His interests lie mainly in: He has some interest in alcoholic drinks like vodka, and maybe even some soft drinks, like Pepsi, may have a secret interest in smoking.

Algeria
The relations between Algeria and the Soviet Union were very strong, as mutual cooperation prevailed between them, the most prominent events in these relations:
 * 1) Throughout the Algerian War of Independence (when she was PGAR), Soviet Union was providing military, technical, and material assistance to Algeria as the Soviet Union was de facto the first country in the world to recognize  the interim government of the Algerian Republic in October 1960, then de jure on March 23, 1962, by establishing diplomatic relations with this country (a few months before the formal announcement of its independence).
 * 2) In December 1963, these two countries signed an agreement on economic and technical cooperation, he committed to providing assistance in rebuilding and building industrial facilities, agricultural development, geological exploration, training of personnel, etc, he gave her a long-term loan of 90 million rubles.
 * 3) In May 1964, the two countries signed an agreement, whereby the USSR agreed to provide technical assistance in building a metal plant in Annaba (another long-term loan of 115 million rubles was granted for these needs).
 * 4) Both were supporting the Non-Aligned Movement, which began with the participation of the National Liberation Front in the 1960s because they understood the importance of "Unity And Rapprochement" in third world countries in order to achieve local goals.
 * 5) Algeria was really close with the Soviet regime in the 1970s and 1980s because of the supply of arms because he supplied 11 billion dollars in military equipment to Algeria between 1962 and 1989, equal to 70-80 percent of Algeria's inventory, this deal mainly came about through the use of loans.

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.


 * As with Third Reich, Russian fans reject Russia's representation as the son of USSR. Warning that this is a very offensive cliche.
