Russian Empire

The “Third Roman Empire” rendered a fifty headed ouroboros. Russia was at one point the greatest power North and East of Europe, and the closest ally of the Hapsburgs in their effort to hold the courts of the known world. After a series of mistakes, poor successions, and civil wars rattled the base of autocratic power, The Russian Empire emerged a leaderless collection of plutocratic city-states, loyal only to rubles and force. The corporate tangle of Russia has left it a powerful, dangerous tool that is hard to aim, but deadly to whoever stands in the way of the bottom line.
