The flag of United Revolutionary State of Russia after Reunification
The Revolutionary Communes of Orenburg are one of the many warlords arising in the wake of the collapse of the Holy Russian Empire, following the death of Sergey Taboritsky.
History[]
In the Southern Urals, the remnants of Tyumen's Stalinists have taken hold of the region and lit a new flame of hardline Bolshevism underneath Taboritsky's collapsing Empire. Within the Revolutionary Communes of Orenburg, the iron hand of the Stalinists grips tight on the society, but the people of Orenburg tolerate and respect their new leaders, for the alternative is far, far worse. As the agricultural situation in Orenburg worsens, a system of gulags is implemented, where prisoners work under "redemptive labor" and are given reduced rations than the typical civilian. The communes are led by Mikhail Pervukhin, and while Pervukhin's rule is less reppressive than Taboritsky, numerous events make it clear that the populace of Orenburg is still heavily oppressed under the new Stalinist regime. However, no one is willing to rebel against Pervukhin because they've been so conditioned to Taboritsky's brutal rule, that they'd accept any lesser evil, keeping any authoritarian dictator in power, so long as they are better than their predecessor. On the surface, some of their citizens are happy to accept Pervukhin and his Stalinist ideology, but in private, their support for the regime is less certain than it seems, and some even voice their discontent with their friends. The peasants of Orenburg are placed under heavy surveillance by the government: anyone accused of working with Taboritsky, criticizing the party, or carrying illicit personal possessions are executed either by bullet or burning at an altar.

The Final Revolution
The effects of Pervukhin's revolution have been profound - and hardly pleasant. Revolutionary ferver has once more gripped Orenburg, trials of collaborators are underway, and even the slightest. bit of evidence against one's neighbor may have them facing a revolutionary tribunal. In this state of eternal revolution against reaction, the new Revolutionary Communes cannot afford to spare mercy.

The New Land of Iron
With the failure of the old communes to protect the peoples of Orenburg, and the horrific regime fosterred upon the once free communes by Taboritsky's mad regency, the now-radicalized population of Orenburg has turned to the ideology professed by the Party men from Tyumen to defend themselves from a potential imperial resurgence. Uner Pervukin, Orenburg is being transferred into a land of iron and industry, with every resource possible being poured into strengthening the state.

Salted Earth
The greatest mark that the Regent's Holy Russian Empire has left across the motherland is that of salted earth and ruined fields, the legacy of the vast amounts of chemical agents deployed against insurgents and other enemies during the process of unification. As a result, vast amounts of fertile land has been poisoned, formerly critical water sources has been rendered unsafe to drink, and forests have been stripped bare. Untainted food and water is rare in the post-imperial wasteland- and all of the motherland shall suffer for it.
