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 Country Humans 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 when needed. Sometimes, instead of the ushanka, she's described with a military hat intended for female soldiers or officers, some would 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's not used among the fandom that much compared to the first; because it shows the USSR with cute and harmless appearance contrary to her brutal and evil personality, which is something many fans don't like or feel comfortable to see.

(Sometimes, she wear the exact same clothes including the eyepatch, she may be mistaken for a male so users just give her bigger breasts)

In 1921, civilians of the Russian Empire revolted in the middle of WW1 due to widespread famine and disease. Lenin, the creator of communism, overthrew the government and backed out of WW1. He created his own government 'For the people' of the new Union, reconquering the just freed countries from the pact to back out of the war.

 * 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 they 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.
