Motherland
In 4713 AR, or AD 1918 in the calendar of the planet Earth, Russia1 is in the grip of a fierce revolutionary period and has recently pulled out of the global struggle on the planet called the Great War. Since AD 1917, due to the Revolution, Russia is now officially called the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic2 having succeeded the Russian Empire ruled by the Tsar Nicholas II, though Russia is still used as a shorthand. Affectionately, Russia is called Mother Russia or the Motherland.34
