The following is an ASB scenario: Jacky Cassidy was a seemingly normal person when she took the helm of the Soviet Union. She planned to begin reforms and augment the development of the Soviet Union. During her first few years she pushed through reforms which eased state restrictions of the economy, privatised industry and agriculture, and instituted capitalism. She also introduced a monarchy and ended the cold war. Jacky ended all restrictions on religion in the Soviet Union. With new freedom entrepreneurs innovated and the economy prospered. By 1984 a new liberal constitution was introduced and a liberal democracy with a democratically elected prime ministership was introduced. Jacky Cassidy began to introduce new and advanced technology such as high-energy lasers, asteroid mining technology and directed energy technology. After much convincing the united states was allowed to join the Soviet Union albeit as an autonomous region in a confederation with the Soviet Union. Afterward the countries of Europe plus lots of other countries were to become protectorates (i.e. they were to be protected) by the soviet-founded confederation. When South Africa fell into civil war the resulting states became protectorates of the confederation. The US was allowed to attack and conquer Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Egypt plus other countries. View attachment 470677

Quick question, how old are you?
 
No. Who is Empress Thresa

A character who is... similar to the one you describe in certain ways.
This video explains the context pretty well.

(EDIT: Don't want to embed non-map videos in a map thread)


Why do you ask?
A lot of younger writers tend to make characters with excessive abilities, either in real life or in an established fictional setting, and have them "fix" things, often without any real difficulty or opposition.

The vast majority of the tasks you described her doing were nonsensical or virtually impossible.
OK. But being intelligent and knowledgeable brings advantages especially when nobody can match you. What would happen if a person from the present day who knew how to build any modern technology and it's prerequistes and could speak latin went back in time to 1 AD? The character does not speak Russian.
 
Looking past Jacky...

So why was the US allowed to invade and conquer Egypt, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia? Why did Jacky allow for millions upon millions of people to die to American wars of conquest? Why did Jacky not end the Aparteid System in South Africa? You mention earlier that Jacky is very "pro liberal," and so why would she allow both of those? Why would she allow the United States, a nation that is now an aggressive hyper capitalist society, to establish powerful bases on the Soviet border? Wouldn't the United States try to wrest control of the USSR away from the RSSR? What about groups like the Taliban and Al Qaeda? What of China and India? Both nations are extremely powerful and advanced and given the right circumstances could eclipse even the USA? Are they in an anti-USSR entente? What about rising middle power states such as Indonesia or Nigeria or Brazil? Why wouldn't they feel surrounded as the USSR now constricts them like a snake?

Like I said, dude, we can help you. Just. Take a deep breath and let us explain some stuff. Ait?

Edit: autocorrect will kill me one day I swear
 
How is being a god vital

Let's say phasing out communism, introducing capitalism and enstablish a monarchy...without having a misterious and very lethal incident as first thing; technology way beyond our own in the 80's as a second thing; nations willingly and happyly become protectorate of this Russia and this include the USA as a third thing
