Novosibirsk, officially the Federation of Novosibirsk and Altay, is a Russian warlord state or in other words, a secessionist Siberian republic created after the Siberian War, governed by a clique of ex-military powerholders (siloviki) from the Central Siberian Republic. Ostensibly democratic, the country is in fact a cynical capitalist oligarchy, whose leaders prioritize power and stability over ideology, creating an untouchable class of government-backed local megacorporations.. It borders Pavlodar to the south, Omsk to the west, Kemerovo to the east, Tomsk to the north, and Oyrotia to the south-east.

The federation has its seat of government in the city of Novosibirsk, one of the most significant locations in Siberia, thanks to its strategic position in the route of the Trans-Siberian railway.

History

During the brutal war fought between the Central Siberian Republic and the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, Alexander Pokryshkin, a Soviet pilot, secured the regions of Novosibirsk and Altay and stood neutral, watching both countries collapse. The Federation has radically changed both its politics and economic system ever since, the Novosibirsk Siloviki had made a series of deals with the biggest companies of the city, turning them into the sole masters of the small economy of the country.

In-game

In-game, the state is appropriately for a regime run by a retired ace, a sizable portion of Novosibirsk's general staff consists of Soviet aces during the Second World War, including Field Marshal Alexander Novikov, head of the Soviet Air Force for much of the war. The Narodnik terrorists are the first threat that must be dealt with by Novosibirsk before they can think of expanding outward.

Securing machinery and infrastructure and rebuilding sections of the Siberian Plan will provide great boons to our statelet.
Disproportionate Population		Monthly Population: +10.0% Stability: -5.00% Novosibirsk has always been one of the most developed and densely populated regions across the Urals, as a hub to the Far East and a crucial link on the Trans-Siberian Railway. The city was already one of the biggest in Siberia when the Great Patriotic War broke out, but the conflict itself made it grow even more. Thousands fled the German occupation, or simply the chaos that unfolded in Russian lands, and they arrived in Novosibirsk, which was soon crowded with civilians. This can be both a blessing and a curse, but it is something we have to live with.
The All-Siberian Army		Divistion Organization: +10.0% Recruitable Population: -15% Divistion Attrition: +5.0% The army that is responsible for the protection of the region of Novosibirsk is easily one of the most powerful and prestigious in Central Siberia. When the Siberian Falcon split from the Tomsk government to save himself and his people from the horrors of war, a large fraction of the army of the Central Siberian Republic pledged their loyalty to Pokryshkin, and soon reorganized in the south. The All-Siberian Army has managed to reform into a force capable of rivalling even the largest neighbors of our warlord state, and the experience many men have from the Great Patriotic War and the Siberian War has proven invaluable.
The Novosibirsk Aircraft Plant		Close air support attack: +7.50% Close air support agility: +10.00% Tactical Bomber: Production Cost -15.00%, Reliability +5% CAS: Production Cost -10.00%, Reliability +5% A major producer of both complete aircraft as well as their constituent parts, Novosibirsk and its aircraft plants are capable of rapidly producing a considerable air fleet. Control of the city and plants will allow the state to apply this production towards its own aerial objectives.
