Sino-Soviet Union

The Sino-Soviet Union, officially the Union of Sino-Soviet Socialist Republics, is a socialist state located in Eurasia. At 31,999,161 kilometers, the Sino-Soviet Union is the largest country in the world by surface area, covering under one third of the human population and is the most populous state with over 1.7 billion people according to early 2017 estimates. Governed by the Communist Party of the Sino-Soviet Union, it exercises jurisdiction over 26 soviet republics from Eastern Europe to China and is the sole legal ruling party of the country. The Sino-Soviet Union is also the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nation in the world having over 30 ethnic and cultural groups in the entire country surpassing the United States in cultural diversity.

The Sino-Soviet Union was formed in the aftermath of World War II when the Soviet Union sent millions of troops into Manchuria to eliminate the dwindling Japanese forces and eventually liberated all of northeastern China. Afterwards, the Soviet troops aided the Chinese Communist Party and ended the Chinese Civil War with the elimination of the Nationalist government and the execution of Chiang Kai-shek and all nationalist leaders. Afterwards, CCP Chairman, Mao Zedong met with Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in Moscow and was willing to have China merge with the USSR into a single communist superstate believing that it would spread the ideology further around the world and would help with the reconstruction of China after the war. Stalin agreed and the Moscow-Beijing Friendship Treaty was signed on September 3rd, 1945 and the two nations merged at the end of March in 1946. After the two nations merged into one single union, the Cold War had already begun and the new nation quickly became the rival of the United States of America as the two nations sought to expand their ideology and spheres of influence around the world starting in 1950 with the invasion of Korea.

Tensions between the United States and the Sino-Soviet Union grew in the 1960s following the outbreak of the Second Indochina War where communist militants seized control over northern Vietnam and were supported by the USSSR against the American-backed Republic of Vietnam. In 1973, the Helsinki Accords were signed and Vietnam was eventually divided and split into two nations. Throughout the 1970s and 80s, the United States began negotiations with the Sino-Soviet Union and tensions did lower despite hurdles in the rode such as the Sino-Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1979. By the 1990s, the Cold War was at an end and the two states ended ideological hostilities, but nationalist sentiments remained and the world remained divided between communism and western-backed capitalist states. Following the September 11 Attacks and the Moscow Metro Bombings, the US and USSSR began collaborating against radical Islam and age-old tensions further died down, but have resurfaced in recent years due to the actions of Vladimir Putin as the Premier of the union.

The Sino-Soviet Union is one of the two major superpowers in the world surpassing the United States on the global stage during the late 2000s. It now has the world's largest economy and is the largest in purchasing power and nominal GDP. The Sino-Soviet Union also possesses the world's largest standing army with the largest budget in the world and holds the most nuclear weapons in the world as well. Due to its large size, the union has the largest oil and mining receives in the world and is a leading nation in science and technological development, a powerful cultural force, and the world's foremost military power.
