History

Government

The Midwest Union is a Federation Presidential Republic with a Elective Monarchy, having a legislative, executive and judicial branch like its sister nations birthed by the Dissolution of the United States, but also a people's branch. Each state is given a judge in the judicial branch per politcal party, and 1 representative per 500k population in the legislative branch's passing house and billing house. The People's Elect and People's Representative are elected in direct voting.

Midwest-Soviet Relations

As early as Midwest independence movements began, the Soviet Union expressed interest and support to the groups, and began aid in July of 1979.

In 1981 the USSR began supplying the nation with specially designed AKSZs intended to fit in to common ammunition. Throughout 1980 - 1985 the Midwest Union worked to transfer US Dollars to the Soviet Ruble, or as called in the Midwest, the Soviet Dollar.
