...They are happy. I can feel it; they truly love me. My people are not merely proud to be Russian, they are living in peace and contentment. I knew it would work in the end. After all the purges, the famines, it has finally worked. I will have to make sure the KGB is active so that things remain this way.

It is a very good feeling to have your

And what sort of society do Russians live in?

[sunflowersunday]

A good one.

[iaccuse]

Ah, but good is such a vague adjective.

[sunflowersunday]

Shall I elaborate?

They are living in the first society free of class boundaries. Men and women that were doomed to lives peasantry in Tsarist days now can seek opportunities through education or army training. As with any new government, I had seen dark days, but each day became brighter. Now those days have finally come to a close and, most importantly, my people recognize their fortune and are enjoying themselves more than ever.

What a wonderful advancement. It almost sounds like an utopia.

Though I must wonder how you came to know this much when you're here. King's intuition?

[sunflowersunday]

As close as one can get.

Simply because I am here does not make me any less connected to my people and my territory. And I am no longer an Imperial nation.

[iaccuse]

. . . You are no longer an Imperial nation.

[sunflowersunday]

Yes. I am now the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also known as the Soviet Union. Most still refer to me as Russia, though.

[iaccuse]

I'm afraid I don't know of either places you've named. And the idea of you being a nation is, frankly, preposterous.

Still, which name shall I refer to you by?

[sunflowersunday]

And the prospect of being trapped on a reality-bending world centered around one of England's books is not?

Russia is fine.

[iaccuse]

I'd no idea that England is another piece of land, though I suppose his name implies as much. Regardless, dimensions such as this one are nothing new. People as places, however, is an entirely new subject.

Russia it is~

Anthropomorphic personification is not such an unusual concept.

And you?

[iaccuse]

Not the idea, no.

Xerxes Break, it's a pleasure.
