Russian hyperpower

Also, would a Cossack Atamanate be plausible for a Russian hyperpower? Like Japan under the Shogunate, but in Russia's case, the Tsar would be powerless while a Cossack Ataman would wield the real power.

That could work i guess.

One question i do have: just how far are we extending Russia's borders?

Westwards, into the German and Austrian border. (not current borders, pre-1914 borders with the possibility of losing Poland)

Eastwards, they can expand into Xinjiang, Mongolia, Manchuria and Korea, with the possibility of vassalizing Japan and most of Alaska, stretching into the Yukon and OTL NWT plus BC, Washington state, western Montana, Idaho and Oregon.

The Wank......IT bURNS"!!!!!

I've always thought that powerful enough USA would definitely try to reach the West Coast. But maybe I don’t understand the American psychology well

Actually you did get the 'american psychology' right as OTL us can be guaranteed to kook to get the pacific due manifest destiny and american exceptionalism.


Would also be nice if Russia also annexed all of India.

Lol that's a bit strong,

I think Russia conquering/somehow inheriting the Ottoman Empire is the best start point. Although greatly improved human development is a must

Hmm that is oossible as the past 5 threads made it.

Russia takes Inner Mongolia from China, winning support of Mongols within the empire.

There aren't really many Mongols in the russian empire, but there are some Tatars which might be effected.

Aside from the Kalmyks and Buryats, that's pretty much about it. Although I'm thinking of making the Ottoman Empire a vassal. There's also the Ottoman expedition into Aceh in OTL, and maybe I can use it to my advantage.

An ottoman and Persian dynastic union can lessen the problems, though integrating that further will be harder to do with making sure those empires go under revolution. There wont be as much Russification attempts to lead to rebellion, but this larger empire will be more fragile so revolutions can stil happen from different ways. Stresses and incompetence can cause enough discontent, just make he aristocrats and nobility incompetent enough to fail :p

Well, having a Kurd as a ruler of an Ottoman-Persian Empire would be the only solution. Other than that, there's the rivalry between the Sunni Turks and Shia Persians. Or we can simply have Tamerlane kicking the crap out of the Ottomans and reunify the Dar-al-Islam under the Timurids.

Yeah, but it might be beneficial in the long run to have Russia and the Ottoman-Persian Empire as allies before they turn against each other.

you can also just have the entire royal lineage between them be to convoluted and fucked up that they cannot realistically split, worse then european royak ties. That was used against some Tatars I believe.

Intermarriage between Russian and Tatar nobles, right? The only major problem with intermarrying the Russian, Ottoman and Persian families is their religion.
