Background
Russia has a long
and proud history. In 1991, the USSR disolved and modern Russia emerged to take
its place. Russia remains a great power, with a seat on the UN Security Council
and many international responsibilities. Russia is a democracy, with Vladimir
Putin as president. The economy is a nice market economy, making use of Russia's
many natural resources, the most plentiful of which is oil.
Russia!
We just want to be a part of any deal, to retain our position as a great power. Respect the power of Mother Russia!
The
Russian military was once great and is a shadow of its former self. However,
we do have a lot of sophisticated military equipment to sell and can offer training.
We are willing to sell military equipment for hard cash to any interested buyer.
And its good stuff too--the SU-27 is one of the top fighter planes in the world! We have a large number of troops, close to a million, and are able to deploy them as needed. Strong
presence in Asia with the Pacific fleet. Plus, there are the nukes. While only 3200 warheads are deployed, we have some 16,000 floating around somewhere (we think...). While the Russian economy is not that
big, there is a lot of oil in Siberia that could be exported--for hard cash,
of course.
Please, please Include us in a diplomatic resolution
Russia already plays a major role, read our latest statement here.
To be a major player, or at a minimum, any kind of player.
We're happy to be here today, glad that you didn't forget to have us as part of the simulation!
