==History==
{{Main|History of Russia}}
In the early 17th century, the Romanov dynasty took control of the Russian state, with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_of_Russia Michael I] being crowned Tsar. Russia began expanding east at an unprecedented rate. During the [[History of Europe#Great Silesian War|Silesian War]], Russia indirectly cooperated with the Anglo-Austrian coalition against Prussia, being awarded the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia in the treaty of 1755.
In the late 18th century, Russia began expanding further into the Pacific, forming the Kurile Island Company in 1788 and establishing dominance of what would become [[Alyeska]]. In 1832, the Russo-Dutch Treaty established the border between Russian and Dutch colonies in North America. During the [[Augustine Wars]] of the 1810s, Russia expanded into Circassia and began a new wave of invasions against [[Persia]].
Russia participated in the 1832-1834 partition of [[Poland]], gaining Baltic territories and subsequently increasing their ability to exert influence in Europe. After many failed attempts to further exert their influence eastwards, the Pacific Company was established in 1861 and maintained a steady hold on Russian America for decades to come. Russia also came to rival the [[Britain|British empire]] in Asia, resulting in the eventual formation of buffer states like [[Mongolia]] and [[Serindia]].
In the 1860s, the fragile Tsar Alexander III and his Romanov dynasty was steadily overshadowed by his [[Netherlands|Dutch]] nephew-in-law [[Henry-Williams]]. The death of Alexander III in 1867 provoked a crisis of succession, leading to Henry-Williams triumphing over the ill and unpopular heir presumptive, Prince Ivan. Co-ruling with his Romanov wife [[Anna Petrovna, Tsarevna of Russia|Anna Petrovna]], they founded the House of Orange-Romanov, which would come to rule the empire for six decades. They became known as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Monarchs_of_Spain Orthodox Monarchs of Russia] and would revitalize Russia through a series of reforms and wars. The Trans-Siberian Railway was soon constructed in order to rapidly advance the industrialization and militarization of the Siberian provinces. In 1868, the Russian empire annexed [[Ainu Mosir]], an anti-Japanese revolutionary client state which Russia backed in the 1830s.
The new regime focused on expansion south and east rather than expansion west. The Russo-Ottoman War of 1884 pushed the [[Ottoman Empire]] out of Russia's sphere of influence, confining their European territories to those of modern [[Rumelia]] and expelling them from the Khanate of Crimea. The viceroyalties of [[Transpruthenia]] and [[Crimea]] were created soon after, finalizing Russia's penetration south towards the Ottomans. Russia's relationship with [[Austria]] deteriorated after the war due to false promises of territories, which would eventually manifest in violence in the 20th century.
In the 1920s, the [[European Economic Crisis]] triggered an economic depression, foreshadowed by decades of failing policies and cultural upheaval. Several nationalist and republican political factions which formed prior to the Crisis became immensely popular with the Russian public; the main organ of this revolution was the Republican Congress. Orkhonist rebels declared independence from Russia in 1924. In 1925, the Orange-Romanov monarchy was toppled, making way for internal divides within the revolutionaries. The liberal Republican Parliament and the Vosstanist National Congress rose to oppose each other, leading to a two-year civil war. By 1928, the Vosstanists defeated the Tricolour Army of the Parliament, firmly establishing [[National republicanism|national republican]] control over Russia and making history as the first successful national republic. The Vosstanist government rapidly initiated a series of administrative reforms, abolishing the old imperials state and creating a novel republican system of government. [[Ozero Murmsky|Anastaze 'Ozero' Murmsky]], a firebrand revolutionary, and first Chairman of the Republic, oversaw many of these projects and is subsequently recognized as the father of modern Russia.
In 1932, Russia, along with [[Japan]] and [[China]], [[Russo-Corean War|declared war]] against the burgeoning empire of Corea. Ending in 1935, the war resulted in the annexation of [[Poeja]] and an assertion of Russian influence in northeast Asia. The same year, Russia entered the [[Great War]] in the spring of 1935 when the [[Ottoman Empire]] declared war against them. Russia joined the [[United Kingdom]], [[Portugal]], and others in forming the [[Factions of the Great War#Cordial League|Cordial League]]. In 1936, Tripartite League forces laid siege to the city of Kiev for months. Chairman Ozero was forced to sign the Treaty of Akmolinsk in 1937, granting independence to the new Orkhonist state of [[Turkestan]]. Also in 1937, the Russo-Ottoman Compromise created the [[Rumelia|Rumelian National Republic]] and made Constantinople a Russo-Rumelian condominium. Russia's claims were formally acknowledged in the [[The Great War#Aftermath|Congress of Amsterdam]].
Ozero, leader of the country for nearly two decades, dies in 1943 and is temporarily succeeded by pragmatist [[Mikhail Orlov]]. [[Semyon Kiselev]] becomes Chairman in 1958.

Line 80 ⟶ 40:
* '''Committee of Internal Affairs (CIA)''': the CIA is the equivalent of the Committee of National Affairs for the ANRs. They can pass local laws, but have to be approved by the CNA. Its members are also selected by the local national republican party, but has to be approved by the CNA.

Sister republics were nominally independent and sovereign states. They have their own government modeled after the Russian National Republic. However, unlike ANRs, they were not politically bound to the Russian National Republic. Most of the SRs created maintained close economic, military, and diplomatic ties with the Russian Nationalist Government. Examples of SRs include the Ainu National Republic.
Outside of the former Russian Empire's territories, the definition of a "Sister Republic" was loosely defined. Some states that describe themselves as Nationalist-Republican consider themselves as sister republics of Russia, while others refrained the use of the term as it implies Russian suzerainty
