For more than 1500 years, after the Revolution, the Sovetskiy Collectivity has dominated the Globe without sharing. Also known as the Gensekia, it is still the only real political entity on Earth and one of the largest in the solar system.
In the distant past, when the masses of men were enslaved by despots, the Prophet Kaal Maak had his revelation about the practice of labour, the idleness of the burzhuas, the ideal of the Prince worker. After a lifetime of righteousness helping the destitute, he left this world to continue guiding humanity with his spirit.
It was then that Stalnoy, son of Lenïn, took up his scythe and hammer and led an unprecedented revolt against the burzhuas and other despots throughout Evraziya. He became the first Gensek, the Father of the Peoples. The Bolshvikars, Stalnoy's personal guard, worked wonders in the name of Kaal Maak and their Gensek. Under his reign and that of his successors, harvests were bountiful, industries powerful, rivers diverted to irrigate arid lands, impassable mountains levelled by roads, leprosy and plagues repelled by medicine, and crowds freed from slavery. Unlike the peoples of the past, who based their kinship on race or philosophy, anyone on Earth could be a sovetskiy subject and enjoy the fruits of this garden. It was during the first century after the Revolution that the Collectivity launched humanity to conquer the heavens, in particular the Moon.
The Collectivity was a beacon of light shining ever brighter out of the World of Darkness.
But the enemies of the Collectivity were not so easily defeated. Burzhuas from other continents attacked the Collectivity and its communes with atomic zarbasis. The first half of the millennium was a terrible time for the Collectivity, with the lush World and nature giving way to ever-widening, barren deserts. Diseases of a new kind multiplied, and the completely polluted air became a poison for living beings.
The Burzhuas were finally defeated, but their defeat gave way to an era of great cold and ice. With the cities now destroyed, the few survivors once again organised themselves, once again practising nomadism throughout Evraziya. Although still standing and the sole winner of the war, the Collectivity found itself led by weak Genseks, regularly overthrown by their bolshvikars. The Collectivity was divided between potentates who were constantly at war with each other.
It was not until many centuries later that a new line of Gensek restored the Collectivity to its former glory. In the aftermath of the first millennium, the Nesterenko lineage took up Stalnoy's hammer and reunified a large part of Evraziya, rehabilitating towns, fields and industries. At this time, the Collectivity resumed contact with certain forgotten continents to preach the doctrine of Kaal Maak. It was under Gensek Piotr Nesterenko that the Collectivity succeeded in regaining control of the lost communes on the Moon and returning to the stars.
But after almost 400 years of glory under the House of Nesterenko, their glorious blood ran dry. Taking advantage of new, weak genseks, division resumed and soon ambitious men took control of whole swathes of the Collectivity and many of the communes. When the last Nesterenko was murdered, a younger branch, the Usmanovs, took over.
But the Usmanovs will not be able to live up to their forebears. Gensek Dmitriy Usmanov, although powerful and having managed to save many of the Collectivity's assets, had no direct heir after a long reign of 39 years.
A large part of the world turned away from Kaal Maak, the glaciers grew ever larger as the winters went by, the great princes and bolshvikars shared out more and more of the Collectivity's lands, the population, crushed by taxes, became distrustful, the lunar communes declined over the years and there were even rumours that the burzhuas would soon return from the dark cosmos to fall to Earth.
The Collectivity is the image of its Gensek, it continues despite its great age, but suffers.
