Russia

In the beginning of the twenty-fourth century, Russia was in a horrible economical state. Due to multiple factors such as corruption and famines, the Russian nation fell behind it’s western neighbours.

In the year 2382, Victor Serafimovich became the president of Russia, during his presidentship, Russia experienced a technological golden age. A cult of personality formed around Viktor, and and his title was changed to Tsar, so he could continue to rule over Russia. As his age advanced, he attached multiple life extending machines to his body.

Even though his body kept on living, his mental state was rapidly deteriorating. He started to see the Russian people as his children. No good father would allow his children to be in harm’s way, so Viktor ordered an army of robots to be constructed, one that would replace the human soldiers.
