God save the tsar (Imperial Russia quest)

Russian empire allies




German empire


Since the foundation of the German Empire, the people of Germany enjoyed an expansion in their economy, under the leadership of Oto von Bismarck and Wilhelm I the empire reached the status of world power rivaling the British but now the sun is shining a little bit less. With the ascension of Wilhelm II, Bismarck lost support in the government and arguing with the new Kaiser does not help him. Their alliance with Austria-Hungary has now been expanded with the inclusion of Rusia under Tsar Nicholas II forming the league of the three emperors whose aim is to keep the British empire influence out of the continent.

Austria-Hungary


Austria-Hungary has not enjoyed the calm time of the German empire, with Franz Ferdinand as Kaiser the Austro-Hungarians seem to be stable but with a week heir in Rudolf, many are worried for the future of their country. Now that Russia has been added to the alliance they can stop keeping as many men in the Russian border and assign them in places that they are needed more.

Kingdom of Hawaii


The kingdom of Hawaii is experiencing a rapid industrialization thanks to Russian investment, with the engagement of Princess Victoria to the Russian Tsar Nicholas II, the small island nation has now been electrified in some areas and is expected to become a major military and naval outpost in the Pacific Ocean.

Kingdom of Joseon


The Kingdom of Joseon I now on Russias sphear more out of necessity than anything else considering that the Japanese eyed them like a piece of meat, they have started to modernize the country's industry, infrastructure, and armed forces.
