The Imperial Military (also known as the Russian Armed Forces) is the overall military forces of the Tsardom of Russia. The Tsar is the commander-in-chief and supreme executor of the military, the Ministry of Defense determines military policy, and the Imperial High Command (Stavka) executes these policies through the Joint Strategic Commands and the Governors. The Imperial Military cooperates with other government institutions such as the  Council of Ministers, the National Security Council, and the Imperial Security Bureau in the execution of its duties. The military draws its manpower through a combination of volunteer service during peacetime and conscription during wartime, and receives approximately eight percent of the central government budget. It comprises of four branches: the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Strategic Rocket Forces.

Citizens aged 18 to 49 are required to enlist into the Army for up to two years, although the Army will have the capacity to conscript every able-bodied males and females under extreme circumstances, in the form of 'unorganized militias'. The Army maintains thousands of military bases, installations, and facilities throughout the Tsardom, and has thousands of military vehicles such as MBTs, ADVs, IFVs, and APCS, among others. The Spetsnaz (Special Purpose Forces), although considered a part of the Army is controlled by the GRU within the ISB. It has a total of 565,880 troops and personnel divided into 57 divisions or 5 armies.

The Strategic Rocket Forces (shortened to the Strategic Forces) is a component of the Imperial Military responsible for Russia's myriad of ballistic missiles of all capabilities, and their relevant infrastructure, in conjunction with the other branches. This includes but are not limited to fixed and mobile missile launchers, platforms, and other ADVs like heavy artillery guns and anti-personnel mortars. The Strategic Forces also maintains a large stockpile reserve of ballistic missiles like short-, medium-, and long-range anti-aircraft surface-to-air missiles, rolling airframe infrared homing surface-to-air missiles, anti-sea ballistic missiles, anti-radiational missiles, and anti-satellite missiles.

Law Enforcement

 

ufsnp.gif

 
The Tsardom has an extensive, interlocked law-enforcement network that is subdivided along local, provincial, and central levels. Each oversector have their own police forces (politsiya), and so do provinces and imperial cities. These police forces report to, and are accountable to, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Justice in some cases.

 

Leadership: 

 

Minister of Internal Affairs:
Yvonne Isard
 
Minister of Justice:
Natalya Romanova

 

Headquarters:
 
Internal Ministry Building
Zhitnaya St. 16, Moscow

 
As stated earlier, the law enforcement network are subdivided into the central, provincial, and local levels:

 

Central police:
As part of the Commission for the Protection of the Charter (COMPOC), many, if not all, central police forces have full authority to enforce laws, regulations, and decrees at the federal, provincial, and local level. They are tasked with typical police responsibilities and duties under different government institutions. For instance, the Imperial Security Bureau is the main enforcement agency in Russia, while the Prison Service is responsible for the nation's penal correction and prison system, the Military Police for law enforcement in the Imperial Military, and the Imperial Guard for the personal protection of the Tsar. Moreover, the Imperial Security Service (Imperiya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti, ISB) has authority at all level, and directly reports to the Tsar through the COMPOC director, and the same goes for the Internal Troops.

Provincial police:
Every province operate their own law enforcement apparatuses to enforce laws and regulations at the provincial and local levels, and maintain their own bureau of investigations, which reports to both the provincial government and the ISB. The responsibilities of provincial police include but are not limited to: Duma, highway patrol, waterways, correctional, revenue, environmental, and park.
 
Local police:
Local police function as law enforcement agencies under the control of the local government. They are divided into urban and rural ones, the former having jurisdiction in urban areas and the latter in rural areas, and usually vary in size, depending on the size and scope of localities. Cities, towns, and villages across the Tsardom have their own police department, from the vast Moscow Police in the capital to the village deputy office in rural villages. 
 
Other:
Furthermore, there are other law enforcement agencies with cross-jurisdictional authority such as transit, campus, airport, and special services police. Some central police agencies have cross functions: for instance, the St. Petersburg Politsiya have the authority to enforce laws in both the St. Petersburg and the Novgorod Governorates, due to circumstances in the latter province. 
 
Secret police:
Formerly the Third Department of the His Imperial Majesty's Chancery (now the Personal Chancellery), and currently part of COMPOC, the Imperial Security Service (ISB) is a special law enforcement agency (secret police) tasked with the exercise and enforcement of police powers at all levels. What differentiates the ISB from other law enforcement agencies is its jurisdiction and accountability: it has the powers to deal with external and internal threats in any way it deems fit, and reports directly to the Tsar and nothing else. The ISB is headquartered in the Lubyanka in Moscow, maintains an extensive network of branches all over the Tsardom, from major cities to rural villages, and has a full-time personnel of 200,000 (which do not include informers). It is headed by Director Alexei Kropokin, who is also the director of COMPOC.

Level of Internal Readiness System (LIRS):
 
The highly-classified LIRS is the system used by the Internal Ministry, usually in conjunction with the Defense Ministry, to prepare the internal security forces.
 
Regular Internal Readiness - Low risk of terrorist attack, normal readiness
Elevated Internal Readiness - Higher risk of terrorist attack, heightened readiness
High Internal Readiness - Higher than normal risk of terrorist attack, high readiness
Full Internal Readiness - Serious risk of terrorist attack, maximum readiness

Policies
 
Airspace:
The Tsardom of Russia has complete and unfettered sovereignty over the airspace within the boundaries of its EEZ (which encompasses land territories, territorial waters, and of course, EEZ), as dictated by the Imperial Charter. It generally has an open-air policy, where any civilian and commercial plane may fly through Russian airspace as long they file a flight plan with appropriate authorities in advance for all flights exceeding a certain distance and/or crossing Russian air borders, or if required by regulations. Allied military planes with prior authorization from the Defense Ministry, landing within or passing through Russian airspace, must file a flight plan with the Ministry of the Air Force in advance.
 
Border:
All persons entering Russia must present a valid passport or proper equivalent documentation (such as visas) to customs officials at border and coastal checkpoints. These possessing a valid passport without a work permit will be issued a visa valid for 30 days. These entering for a specified period of time must leave by the departure date (which must be declared to the issuing customs officer) will not be issued a second visa for 30 days after the departure date. Intentional failure to leave the country or entering illegally is a high offense, and violators will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.
 
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ):
The official boundaries of the EEZ encompasses all waters adjacent to Russia proper and its protected areas extending 200nm from the Russian and protectorate coast or where they interact with another EEZ. The EEZ encompasses the White Sea, and parts of the Baltic Sea (Putingrad), Barents Sea, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Gulf of Finland, and the Sea of Azov; it unofficially encompasses the Livonian protectorate, especially its waters in the Baltic Sea.
 
Foreign:
Russia currently maintains a semi-isolationist pro-European policy when it comes to diplomacy, but will uphold and honor its treaties should it be required. It currently holds treaties (ranging from non-aggression to mutual defense) with the Northlands, the Kingdom of Sverige, and the Republic of Zapadnaya.
 
Maritime:
Foreign civilian and commerce vessels require a specialized permit from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to pass through Russian territorial waters, which extends to twelve nautical miles from the coast (no permit is required for civilian and commerce passage through the EEZ, which extends to two hundred nautical miles from the coast, unless stated otherwise). A permit is required from the Department of Maritime Affairs in the Ministry of the Environment for fishing and mining rights, and the Ministry of Energy for oil drilling rights, within the EEZ. Non-allied foreign military vessels are required to receive express permission from the Defense Ministry to cross Russian waters and EEZ through designated paths (the same goes for territorial and protected lands and airspace). They are required to petition the Defense Ministry for a special permit for passage and docking purposes, and provide a timetable; any docking are to be for refueling and maintenance purposes. Allied military vessels are exempt from the permit requirements, though they are required to inform the Defense Ministry beforehand to cross Russian territory, airspace, and waters, and to dock in Russian ports. This is to avoid misunderstandings and potential conflict.
 
Security:
Russia reserves to itself the right to search any civilian and military vessels passing through or into and within its territorial waters and EEZ, any vehicles or other modes of land transportation passing through and within its land territories and protected areas, and any aircraft passing through and within its airspace for any reason at any time, especially when there are reasonable concern regarding suspicious or illegal activities taking place within Russia and its jurisdictions. Any illegal or otherwise intentionally-harmful cargo found through such security search procedures will be seized.
 
Sovereignty:
Russia reserves to itself the inalienable right to protect, promote, and further its national interests at the regional and international level. It reserves the right to intervene, within reason, in any situation in Europe where its interests, and the safety and security of its citizens are threatened.

Major cities and other locations

 
Moscow:

aRsa5tm.jpg
 
With a population of over eleven million inhabitants, Moscow is by far the largest city in the Tsardom. Situated along its namesake river, Moscow is a massive sprawling metropolis that serves as the epicenter of Russia, where political power, economic activity, financial transactions, cultural exchanges, and science and technological developments all converge there. In a way, Moscow is Russia and Russia is Moscow. Established in the tenth century, Moscow is the oldest city in Russia and consequently boasts a number of historic locations, such as the massive Kremlin complex, the famous Red Square, the massive Saint Basil's Cathedral, and the magnificent Cathedral of Christ the Savior. As the capital and seat of government, Moscow hosts a large number of government buildings and institutions, most which are clustered in the Kremlin. It also boasts the world-famous Metro, which is accessed by millions of citizens daily. Despite its vast size, Moscow is a safe city, with relatively low levels of crime due to the city's highly-trained and well-equipped police force.
 
Petrograd:
 

Kkq9PXn.jpg

 
Located along the banks of the Gulf of Finland, Petrograd is the second largest city in population (with nearly five million inhabitants) and Russia's busiest port. Built at the orders of Peter the Great in 1703 as St. Petersburg, Petrograd served as the Russian capital for several centuries. As with Moscow, Petrograd has a number of historic buildings, including but not limited to the Winter Palace, Palace Square, Peter and Paul Fortress, Church of the Savior on Blood, the Hermitage Museum, and the Peter the Great Museum. Known as the 'Window to Europe', Petrograd is the most Westernized city in the Tsardom, with many of buildings being based on Western design and values; shopping malls, fast-food outlets, expensive restaurants, nightclubs, and other venues of entertainments are found everywhere in the city. In additional to being a major trading, financial, and industrial center, Petrograd has a large military-industrial base, in which shipyards, factories, and military bases and installations are located in and around the city.
 
Romanovgrad:
 
2dJMt1j.jpg
 
Once known as Tsaritsyn, Stalingrad, and Volgograd, Romanovgrad (City of Romanov) is a major population and industrial center situated along the western bank of the Volga river. It was the site of a famous battle in the twentieth century, in which Soviet forces stopped and reversed the advance of the hitherto invincible Nazi Wehrmacht during the Great Patriotic War. The massive Motherland Calls monument, located at the Mamayev Kurgan height overlooking the city, commemorates the famous battle. Although not as large or diverse as Moscow and Petrograd, Romanovgrad nevertheless is a magnificent city in its own right.
 
Imperial Parliament Building:
 
A2uDkb4.jpg
 
The massively towering Parliament Building is located in the Legislative Sector of the Government District in Moscow. Built by the Imperial Russian government prior to the Great Apocalypse, the Parliament Building miraculously survived to serve as the meeting place for Deputies and Senators. As with Imperial institutions, the Parliament Building is ringed with anti-aircraft defense systems, and a massive security cordon consisting of machine-gun nests, artillery emplacements, roadblocks, hidden minefields, and maze-like security checkpoints manned by Inquisitorial squads, Imperial Guardsmen, and Moscow police surrounds the building. It is purportedly capable of withstanding a direct hit from a nuclear bomb, although this is unverified. The Building serves as an ironic symbol of parliamentary power in the Empire; its vast size is a direct inverse of the actual powers its legislators wielded.
 
Romanov Palace:
 
ggD43Di.jpg
 
Located in the exclusive town of Tsarskoye Selo, and situated along the banks of the Bolshoi Lake, the Romanov Palace is the summer residence of the Tsar and his family (the nearby Alexander and Catherine palaces are historic museums). Built on the orders of Emperor Justinian IV prior to the Great Apocalypse, the Romanov Palace is a sight to behold. Security around the Palace, and in Tsarskoye Selo as well, is extremely tight, with access strictly controlled by the Imperial Guard and Inquisitorial squads. Despite its deceptive fragile appearance, the Palace is capable of withstanding a heavy artillery or bombing attack.
