The Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics is a confederation of 12 member states, 8 of which were among the 15 republics in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics:

Azerbijan
Belarus
Kazkahstan
Kyrgyzstan
Russia
Tajikistan
Turkmenistan
Uzbekistan

It also contains 4 republics which were once territory within one of the original 15 Soviet republics:

Abkhazia
East Ukraine
South Ossetia
Transnistria

Additionally, the Balkan states of Krajina, Serbia, and the Serbian Republic of Bosnia have all expressed some interest in joining the USSR.

The USSR flag has a red background, with 12 red stars, each bordered by yellow, in the upper left corner.

Each member state in the USSR contributes about 2% of GDP to fund the central government in Moscow, which consists of a presidency, legislature, and supreme court. Member states have their own embassies, their own seats at the UN, and their own armies. However, all share a common currency (ruble), and a unified military command, which controls the USSR's nuclear weapons.

The USSR has a total population of 280 million. Although less than half of the USSR is ethnic Russian, native Russian speakers account for more than half, due to the large Russophone Ukrainian population in the republic of East Ukraine.
