Drachma

Drachma is a nation in Polaris that was added in Cycle I. Later on, they came to represent Russia. After World War I, Drachma was Communist, and after World War II, they spread their influence across the world. Their downfall started in the 80's, and eventually it led to their collapse in 1991, when the SSR's became independent. Drachma still remains a rival of the United States, but is no longer communist.

History
Drachma was a nation added in Cycle I, and remained a rival of Amestris. It wasn't until Cycle IV that Drachma had a larger part in Polaris, when they helped spread Communism far across the globe in the Cold War against the United States.

Drachma spread communism through Polaris until 1989, when major revolts against communist governments ensued and overthrew the helpless governments. Drachma collapsed in 1991, and was replaced by the republics within it.

Today's Drachma remains influential in the world, although not nearly as much as it had. They remain rivals of the United States, although not to the extent of the Cold War.

Moskva Pact
In 1972, the Moskva Pact was founded between all states who were officially recognized as communist, of course based in Drachma. After the collapse of Drachma in 1991, it instead became a union of nations that were previously under Drachman control.
