I'm obviously wrong, so I'm going to tell you to eat a **** as a crafty comeback! Ha!

I believe the rule was that you can only change nations once a year, and that beginning didn't count as a change. At least it was never mentioned. And regardless, I began in August of 1976, so it wouldn't be too long until then.
The Soviet Union began in worse conditions.
The Soviet Union was pretty... Nationalist? Best word that comes to mind when it first started out.
Russia, for lack of anything good to say, my opinion of it is that everyone is disheartened, because pretty much everything around them crumbled and few people have really done anything about it. Those who have, the people under then won't just flock to their side instantly and proclaim them President or King or what have you.
Unifying Russia will take time completely as in... Economically, Mentally, and Politically will take a very long time.
It would be fun to do, but you would have to start very small to get anything done.
Well, that's my opinion at least.
In other news, Germany is a nice place.
Then you have the fact that the country is an economic disaster, fresh out of long civil wars, and currently still fighting a cold war with the east. In the most basic terms, the Russian Republic is a hell-hole. And I mean, hell-hole. We're talking about frozen bodies just left to rot in some places. We're talking about ruthless warlords committing all sorts of atrocities, and leaving the bodies of their enemies impaled somewhere. The state isn't only at war with warlords, but it's also at war with the east and the communes (albeit more of a cold war than anything). And then you have the fact that the warlords themselves would fight amongst each other, so it's wars within a war.
The Soviet Union was probably far better off than the Russian Republic, trust me.
And this is all not even considering what's to come. Aaron and I have planned some stuff, and none of it is benefiting to the Republic.
I'm actually deciding to play a RP other than my own RP for the first time in months; Im considering doing some sort of cult thing in SO. Namely since I wanna do something religious since I already got anti-theistic space velociraptors in Sagittarius so I am thinking some religious cultists in a more down to earth RP could mix things up.
And you won't be capable of doing anything about it.

If you want a more benevolent group, then.. I don't know. Maybe you can do something like Fallout 3's Church of Atom, who worship an undetonated nuke. You don't have to make something too similar though, what I mean is that you could take something silly for them to worship. You have to remember that humans would have a different way of thinking in SO's universe. They have no internet and few surviving books. Most of them know nothing about the past, or even the present. So you could have them find something that to us would be silly, but to them is serious business. Kind of how Caesar's Legion in Fallout: New Vegas was born when some guy read a book about the Roman Empire and decided to pretty much revive it, except he doesn't really know that much about the Romans himself.
So yeah. They can be born when some guy finds something he thinks is worthy of worship. It could be technology, knowledge, something that isn't for granted to post-apocalyptic humans as it is for us. Or they could be based on old ideals they read about or something.

God damn unbreakable T-51b power armor and the Chinese Stealth Suit. Jingwei's Shocksword is pretty noteworthy.
The Pitt is pretty cool too, and offers another chance to make a grab for Power Armor and the rarely-given good vs evil story ability.
