The Vogrian Federative Socialist Republic (Vogrian FSR or VFSR; Vogrian: Вогрианскаыа Федеративнаыа Сотсиалистическаыа Республика, tr. Vogrianskaya Federativnaya Sotsialisticheskaya Respublika), commonly referred to as Vogrian FSR, Vogrian Federation, or simply Vogria, is an independent federal one-party socialist state located on the continent of Phaegia. The Vogrian FSR is composed of five smaller constituent units of autonomous republics, and 2 autonomous oblasts. Vogrians form the largest ethnic group. The capital of the Vogrian FSR is Yarolavka and the other major urban centers include Mikhailgrad, Voroborg, Podoturynisk, Kiriprudny and Chernosnovy.

The Vogrian FSR was established in the midst of the Red Guard Revolution of 1925 when the Red Guards led by Nikolai Voroshilov overthrew the monarchy of the Kingdom of Vogria. They established the Vogrian People's Republic, beginning a civil war between the VPR's Red Army and a coalition of anti-Communist forces pulled from across the former Kingdom, among who the largest faction was the Royal Guard. The Red Army expanded it's hold throughout most of the Kingdom, assisting local peasant uprisings while suppressing political opponents and Royal loyalists through the means of the Red Terror. By 1928, the VPR had emerged victorious, establishing the formation of the Vogrian Federative Socialist Republic with the unification of the Vogrian, Kossacki, and Bulgrinovan republics.

Between 1929 and 1939, Vogria went through a period of rapid industrialization and forced collectivization that led to siginificant economic growth, but also led to an increase in forced labor camps populated by political dissidents, and those deemed unfaithful to the socialist system. A man-made famine in 1934-1935 saw the deaths of hundred of thousands of Kossacki citizens, creating anamosity between Kossacki citizens and the Communist government. On the eve of the War of Krumaarian Succession, Vogria had rose as an industrial powerhouse, becoming the 4th largest economy in the Western Hemisphere.

Throughout the 1950's and 60's, Vogria continued to develop at a steady as pace as millions of peasants were relocated to the various industrialized centers in the Federation. In 1967, Vogria supported the creation of a socialist state within the Taijud People's Democratic Republic, creating tensions between Vogria and the Sanctified Republic of Veltria. In the mid-1980s, Mikhail Loriv sought to reform and liberalize the economy of Vogria. This program known as the Economic Reform Iniative saw the transition of the economy from a planned centralized economy with an increasingly open-market economy. Vogria adopted its current constituiton in January of 1989 formalizing the new economic transition as a well as a swathe of political reforms which includes the creation of the Congress of People's Deputies which would represent the will of the people and act as the new lower house of the Federal Diet.

As of 2020, Vogria is a member of the Phaegian Economic Community, the Undrian Regional Council, and is one of the founding members of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (formed in 1953 as an economic organization between the various socialist states throughout Undria). Vogria is a recognised nuclear weapons state and is fourth in military expenditure in the world. Vogria's vast mineral and energy resources makes it one of the world's leading producers of coal and natural gas. As the leading socialist state in Phaegia, Vogria has lended aid to various developing nations and has assisted in the prompting up of socialists regimes throughout the continent.

Under the Military Formation Law of 1928, the Vogrian Armed Forces consisted of three main branches, namely the Land Forces, the Air Force, and the Navy, along with the creation of the Troops of the Interior, and the People's Commissar Directorate (PCD). In 1933, the Troops of the Interior and the PCD became independent of the Armed Forces and in 1935 were merged with the People's Commissariat of Internal Security. After the War of Krumaarian Succession, the Strategic Missile Command Forces(1962) and Federal Civil Defense Forces (1965) were established.

As of 2020, the military consisted of an estimate 475,000 active duty personnel; additionally there are over 750,000 reservists across all military branches. It is mandatory for all male citizens aged 18-28 to be drafted for a year of service in the Armed Forces.

The nation has a large and fully indigenious arms industry, producing most of its own military equipment while importing only limited quantities of foreign equipment. Vogria has been one of the world's major suppliers of arms since 2007, accounting for nearly 20% of worldwide weapon sales and exporting weapons and equipment to a multitude of nations throughout Phaegia and Undria. This is seconded only by Veltria and the Latin Empire of Great Bunter

The Vogrian government's official 2018 military budget is about 1.5 trillion rubles, the fourth largest in the world. The official budget is set to increase to 2.25 trillion rubles in 2019, and 3.05 trillion rubles by 2020. However unofficial reports state that the budget could be significantly higher putting the Vogrian military at a budget rivaling that of Veltria, making it the second most powerful military on Phaegia.
