[Aberrant] The Russian Confederation of States rises from the political and economic chaos caused by the Moscow Crash of 1999. Russia's downward spiral reverses, albeit slowly, thanks to nova "economic savant" and Minister of the Treasury Vladimir Sierka. The reorganized Confederation ("RusCon" for short) consists of sovereign member states allied for purposes of economic strength and foreign relations.

The Confederation retains its seat on the UN Security Council, but the member states are represented individually in the General Assembly. In effect, RusCon functions somewhat like a cross between the European Union and the United States of America. Belarus president Andrei Srebrianski is officially elected the first Confederation president, but rumors continue in the press that Minister Sierka is the true leader of RusCon.

The chaos leads to Russia's total economic collapse. Russia's financial woes spread through already weakened
