The Asian Soviet Socialist Union, commonly simply known as ASSU or the Asian Union, is a sovereign federal socialist republic situated in the north-east of Asia composed of various partially autonomous Asian Soviet Republics defined on regional boundaries. The ASSU was established in 399 following the New Futurians lead by Vsevolod Sokolov seizing control of the Siberian Labour Republic due to various regions of the country falling to anti-government revolutionaries, allowing the New Futurians to exploit the power vacuum to gain control.
In 397 the collapse of The Confederacy was already well underway, especially following the secession of the Rus Federative Republic, leading to the establishment of the Rus Federation. This move however was greatly opposed by the more left-leaning Siberian federal subjects under the Rus, whom saw it as the Rus government attempting to bail on the confederacy that it itself had started. These revolutionaries soon afterwards established the All-Rus Salvation Front and launched attacks on the Rus Federation, although they failed to gain any success. Fearing a defeat, the ARSF agreed to partition the nation in two between the new Federal Republic of Tritonia in the west and the ARSF in the east, which they reorganized into the Siberian Labour Republic. This move was very unpopular in Siberia, leading to anti-war agitators assassinating the SLR's leadership in response to its signing of the treaty and subsequent militarization. Following this incident the SLR held snap elections, in which the eccentric political figure Stas Tarasov, leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party of Siberia gained power. Stas Tarasov however failed to stabilise the state due to a series of purges of influential opposition figures and cotninued militarization, leading to the Linasgrad Uprising in which anti-government forces seized control of much of the SLR's capital for several weeks before being forced to flee into the countryside. Following their escape, the anti-government forces launched several insurgencies against the government, allowing the Kingdom of Yamalia to additionally secede. In response to this crisis, an emergency election was held in which Stas Tarasov was voted out of power and replaced by Vsevolod Sokolov of the RCPS's 'New Futurian' faction after gaining a narrow plurality of the votes in a highly controversial electio. With swift military actions and reforms, Sokolov's government managed to put down the revolts, allowing him to move further in his political ambitions despite initial accusations of fraud or election meddling. While the New Futurians did recognise Stas Trasov's importance in ending moderate rule in Siberia, they also saw him as a flawed figure which would only lead Siberia towards another war with Tritonia, thus the New Futurians announced the total reorganization of the Siberian Labour Republic into the Asian Soviet Socialist Union, which would instead look towards its asian identity instead of its Rus one. Due to its socialist government, ASSU swiftly aligned itself to the various other socialist nations of Yata such as Yakamoto, Sizhou and Patria Grande, though with more distant relations than the relations between the socialist states ASSU aligned with due to its more utopian ideology. In its first post-war expansion in 399 the ASSU gained the former Eurasian lunar colony of Devanagrad's favour, convincing it to join them instead of Tritonia. In the same year the ASSU adopted a much more liberalized economy than its other socialist contemporaries, adopting a mixed economy in order to negate the effects of the ongoing Yatan Economic Crisis. In 402 the ASSU joined the Socialist Assembly, building closer relations with its fellow socialist nations, though this would not last forever as ASSU soon afterwards started having increasingly strained relations with Sizhou due to its pan-humanist scientific ideals conflicting with ASSU's pan-asian and utopian goals. In late 407 the ASSU began its first major geopolitical actions by invading the Federation of Khuree, establishing several of its now key ministries and projects, and declaring the establishment of the Planetary Government of Yata, an international council of visionaries and innovators united with the goal of working towards an improved and more prosperous world. In 408 the ASSU began working on Project Niislehotsk, a goal to create a new, modernist capital city along the shores of Lake Baikal.
Government & Politics
The Asian Soviet Socialist Union is a Federal Presidential Socialist Republic headed by the ideologically utopian-socialist Revolutionary Communist Party of Asia, a unusually esoteric left-leaning political organization currently headed by Premier Vsevolod Sokolov, whom was entrusted with leading the nation following emergency elections in 399. Following his election the government has greatly been reorganized to meet his more eclectic demands and goals, especially when it comes to the goals of pan-asianism and technological advancement. The ASSU is unique among modern socialist states due to its distancing from Orthodox Marxism, instead moving towards a more innovative system that embraces change[1] and new ideas instead of sticking to the words of long-gone philosophers. With this system the government of the ASSU hopes to have the nation become a nation of constant change and perfection, so that it may only emerge stronger, faster, and better than before. While its various policies may appear confusing and controversial, the ASSU follows a specific doctrine formulated from 'perennial truths and science', in which the state is a vector pushing through time against the myriad of concepts and governments that dissolve into a single incandescence of humanity, of which the ASSU is at the forefront of.
While regardless being somewhat authoritarian, the government of the ASSU has proclaimed itself a force of freedom and cooperation, denouncing[2] any kind of boorish behaviour towards those which disagree with its notions, instead favouring the greatest possible freedom of expression, where any thoughts or opinions can be published without oversight. Because of this 'freedom', the government views protesting as an action of the past, as in their 'state of innovation', laws restricting human activities are to over time become superfluous and eventually non-existent. With this new freedom, the Government of ASSU has compared itself to a bird hatching from an egg, so that the people whom now can live how they feel and want to can build up truths and vistas never before conceived. As an extension of this program of promoting freedom, a public "visionary law hotline" exists for everyday civilians to propose new reforms and proposals for the Supreme Soviet to discuss.
Before Sokolov's premiership and the establishment of the ASSU the Siberian Labour Republic was under the control of Premier Stas Tarasov, whom is still seen as a 'founding figure' for ASSU, even if many of his ideas of revolutionary aestheticism and violent cultural revolution have been denounced by the current government.
Foreign Relations
The Asian Soviet Socialist Union is a member of the Socialist Assembly, thus it has positive relations with most left-leaning states across Yata such as Yakamoto, Choros, Patria Grande, Yorica, the East African Federation, and so on. Although out of these Yakamoto is the ASSU's closest ally. The only nations that the ASSU has a negative relationship are Tritonia, because of the ASSU's predecessor's war against them, and Sizhou due to conflicting ideological goals leading to increasingly strained relations. Despite their tensions, ASSU and Sizhou attempt to remain at least nominally friendly.
The ASSU's foreign policy is also somewhat dependent on its own ideology, as in their eyes the continent of Eurasia remains in chains until all Asian people have united under one banner in opposition to any other force from across the globe that oppresses them with war and colonization. Because of this, more capitalist oriented states, especially those from nations that have in the past conquered portions of Asia, have little to no diplomatic relations with the ASSU, although this has been stated to be a temporary development until the 'insidious nations fall under the cultural-economic dominion of Asia'.
Government Departments
Planetary Government of Yata
In order to further its goals of innovation and revolutionary action, Vsevolod Sokolov formed the 'Planetary Government of Yata' as the new legislative body of Yata, composed of a number of innovative figures whom oppose the current model of bordered human government who have joined together as one unified body. This government is tasked with coordinating and assisting all nations, with the aim of restoring global harmony. While Sokolov is the president of this government, he has stated that any rivalries or ideological disagreements will not be considered in the approval process of new members of the Government. The Planetary Government is assigned to various functions, with its paramount functions being funding new projects and 'overseeing Yata's bureaucracy'.
The brave innovative officials of the Planetary Government have a fairly simple task, the inspire and make possible. Wise artists, architects, innovators, and explorers are intended to come from all around both ASSU, and all other nations of the world to present their ideas to the members of the Government, whom are more than happy to put their seal of approval on funding all of these wondrous new projects, with the only restriction for such projects being the laws of physics and temporality. This nucleus of ideas is intended to be a shining light for all-Yata, where no inventor shall be shacked by monetary needs. The general "idea" behind approving such costly endeavours is to throw everything at the wall, see what sticks, and fund it all without question to improve the ASSU even more than before.
While this "government" may initially seem conflicting with the ASSU itself due to its nature as a national government, the ASSU has rectified this by declaring itself connected but subordinate to this new government as the first of many administrative districts of Yata.
Ministry of Agriculture
The Ministry of Agriculture is a section of the ASSU's government dedicated to coordinating and managing the various agricultural plots and workers within the nation. Despite its unusual nature, ASSU does also have more typical policies such as agricultural subsidies, though with the addition of providing farmers with both necessary and costly equipment such as crop-dusters.
Synthetic Foods Committee
The Synthetic Foods Committee is a project assigned to the Ministry of Agriculture tasked with research and advancement into the field of synthetic/lab-grown foods.
Ministry of Architecture
The Ministry of Architecture is a section of the ASSU's government dedicated to coordinating and managing the nation's various construction projects. The Ministry of Architecture is unique for its belief that capitalism has oppressed landowners and architects, thus the only way to rid the world of such landowners is to have a "irrational" and ultravisionary planned urbanization scheme. The Ministry is known to favour attributes such as collective labour and living, utilising collective kitchens, nurseries, hospitals, cinemas, alongside all-age education programs.
Project Niislehotsk
As the ASSU continued to expand across Asia and the first of many prophesies and contemplations were beginning to see light, Premier Vsevolod Sokolov ordered the beginning of a brand new project for the ASSU to undertake, the construction of a new capital in the very heart of asia, Lake Baikal. This city, named Niislehotsk, was designed to be a marvel of modern design and bright lights, filled with countless architectural wonders not limited by typical standards, instead only by limitless imagination. The city's environment was designed to promote feelings of freedom, so that the arts and sciences could be enjoyed with no limitations, eclipsing the sun with their newfound light.
Ministry of Industry
The Ministry of Industry is a section of the ASSU's government dedicated to the coordination and management of the nation's industries. Unlike most other branches of the government that are organized to be 'free-flowing', the Ministry of Industry is tasked with making sure the industry of the ASSU functions as a perfect machine, with the purpose of fueling the ASSU's movement into the future.
Ministry of Linguistics
The Ministry of Linguistics is a section of the ASSU's government dedicated to the language of the nation, fulfilling its work by both translation[3] services, dictionary publishing, and language-classes, and by the more esoteric research of language and phonemes. In its research efforts, the Ministry of Linguistics is dedicated to understanding the primordial meanings of each phoneme and letter so that a single unified language of humanity can eventually be devised as an international tongue understood by all peoples of Yata and beyond. The base theory behind this new language is to dissolve any notions of objective sense and restriction in grammar, so that all individuals may express themselves in any way they see fit.
Ministry of Religious Affairs
Unlike many other visionary socialist states, the ASSU is fairly friendly to various religious traditions, funding their preservation. Though alongside more typical faiths the Ministry of Religious Affairs also upholds more unusual religions such as fringe pagan groups and new-religious-movements.
Ministry of Science and Technology
The Ministry of Science and Technology is a section of the ASSU's government dedicated to the advancement of technology and science, aspiring to allow the ASSU to stride forward valiantly new sciences no other nation could conceive of until the sun itself is eclipsed by the shining rays of humanity planting its the flag of ASSU on its surface
Department of Astronomy
The Department of Astronomy is a department of the Ministry of Science and Technology tasked with the study of space-based phenomena, alongside the scientific operations in the Devanagrad Lunar Colony. While most of the department's duties are fairly typical, it also is involved in more esoteric research programs such as figuring out the connections between life and the stars, and the nature of 'unseen energies'.
Department of Temporal Science
The Department of Temporal Science is a department of the Ministry of Science and Technology tasked with the study and further understanding of time, as unlike Space, the laws of Time remain pristine and enigmatic despite the chaos of the laws of Space. According to the DTS governments of Space will clash amongst one another, accumulating dust and rubble as history brings them against one another, but with proper calculations and study the government of the ASSU hopes to secure its own pre-eminence by embracing a natural law incapable of such volatility. As an extension of this, the ASSU is the sole government to date to claim dominion over a point in time rather than a point in space, with this point in time always being in the future so that the ASSU may constantly race towards it at an accelerating rate.
The concepts of the DTS expand further than just the ministry's own research purposes though, as government ministers and bureaucrats are given pamphlets with mathematic and temporal tools in order to properly analyse and both keep track of what has occurred and what will occur. Contained within these pamphlets are simple and abbreviated lists of rules that govern over time and history, with the most important rule being the importance of 3^x in the events of world history, so that the dull bureaucratic acts of pencil-pushing can be transformed into an engine of prophecy and prediction.
Department of Zoology
The Ministry of Zoology is a department of the Ministry of Science and Technology tasked with the study of the study of various aspects of the ASSU's wildlife and the management of 'inter-species matters', claiming that the immortal philosophy of the ASSU will do good for both humanity and the animal kingdom.
Economy
While it may differ from traditional Marxists, the concept of worker's liberation is still highly important in the ASSU's ideology. Be it by bureaucracy, reactionary rulers, or the capitalist class, the ASSU sees all such systems of exploitations as originating from the "investor-exploiter class". In order to prevent such issues from arising within its society, the ASSU has adopted a system of general land reform and collectivity, under the principle that the total landmass that the workforce of the nation needs is no smaller than the nation's landmass. Economically the government of the ASSU supports equal pay, in which each individual of the nation shall get a single unified monthly wage, so that the artists or investors of society will no longer suffer through starvation or depend on selling away their own concepts to those with more wealth than themselves. Despite this, the ASSU does allow private ventures and foreign investment as long as companies operating within its borders follow its laws.
- ↑ Especially visible in the culture of major cities wholly aligned with the ASSU's ideology, as traditional clothing and architecture has largely been phased out in favour of more eclectic and "expressive" forms.
- ↑ Although this has not prevented cases of mob-justice, with several reports of ASSU-critical individuals being assaulted by Futurianist Street Gangs.
- ↑ In which it is questionably competent, having a "history" of incoherent translations to the point that in 412 increased training requirements for translators was introduced.
