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.
Chile
Argentina
Uruguay

Ok I thought the Under equipped would go away, not to mention if we can keep on building...
Tesla is best man ever and is going down history as the best inventor for Russia ever!
Plus we need to really kick our stuff into gear and hopefully get our civilian morale high enough that they throw a party for Nicholas!

The rest of Europe is watching with baited breath on how this Tsar is making Russia Great Again in so short a time.
I think Germany and Britain are making plans, the former is thinking that Russia may be a threat to their ambitions to be a Hegemon in Central and Eastern Europe while the latter is wanting to have no Hegemons arise in Europe.

on the Imperial Russian navy I can't find solid data on the era only thing I could find that everyone seems to agree is that there where 29 ironclads in 1888 that's it, I will keep looking for info if you think I should up the number of ships please tell me.
turn 8 is going to have changed, crits are going to go form 90 to 95 and the chancess of success will be lower but not by much.

Ekaterina II-class battleship - Wikipedia
In 1863, during the American Civil War, the Russian Navy's Atlantic and Pacific fleets wintered in the American ports of New York and San Francisco, respectively. Some historians credit this visit as a major factor in deterring France and the UK from entering the war on the Confederate side.[7] Delahaye states that besides supporting the Union, Russia was also preparing for a war with France and the UK should they intervene in the Polish insurrection of 1863. The Russian Navy was weak and could easily be blockaded in its home ports, but if it was in the US when the war started it could more easily attack British and French commerce.[8][9]
The Imperial Russian Navy continued to expand in the later part of the century becoming the third largest fleet in the world after the UK and France. The expansion accelerated under Tsar Nicholas II who had been influenced by the American naval theoretician Alfred Thayer Mahan. Russian industry, although growing in capacity, was not able to meet the demands and some ships were ordered from the UK, France, Germany, USA, and Denmark. French naval architects in particular had a considerable influence on Russian designs.
Russia's slow technical and economic development in the first half of the 19th century caused her to fall behind other European countries in the field of steamboatconstruction. By the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1853, Russia had the Baltic and Black Sea Fleets, Arkhangelsk Flotilla, Caspian Flotilla and Okhotsk Flotilla (altogether, 40 battleships, 15 frigates, 24 corvettes and brigs, 16 steam frigates etc.).
The combined number of staff of all the fleets equaled 91,000 people. Despite all this, the reactionary serfdom system had an adverse effect on the development of the Russian Navy. It was especially typical of the Baltic Fleet, which was known for its harsh military drill.
Thanks to admirals Mikhail Lazarev, Pavel Nakhimov, Vladimir Kornilov, and Vladimir Istomin, the sailors of the Black Sea Fleet were taught the art of warfare and upholding of military traditions of the Russian Navy, formed in the times of Admiral Ushakov.
The Battle of Sinop in 1853 the Black Sea Fleet under Nakhimov made a number of tactical innovations. During the Siege of Sevastopol in 1854-1855, the Russian sailors used all means possible to defend their base from land and sea. In accordance with the Treaty of Paris, Russia lost the right to have a military fleet in the Black Sea. In the 1860s, the Russian fleet which had relied upon sails lost its significance and was gradually replaced by steam.
After the Crimean War, Russia commenced construction of steam-powered ironclads, monitors, and floating batteries. These vessels had strong artillery and thick armor, but lacked seaworthiness, speed and long-distance abilities. In 1861, they built the first steel-armored gunship Opyt (Опыт). In 1869, the Russians began the construction of one of the first seafaring ironclads, Petr Veliky (Пётр Великий).

Some historians credit this visit as a major factor in deterring France and the UK from entering the war on the Confederate side.[7] Delahaye states that besides supporting the Union, Russia was also preparing for a war with France and the UK should they intervene in the Polish insurrection of 1863. The Russian Navy was weak and could easily be blockaded in its home ports, but if it was in the US when the war started it could more easily attack British and French commerce.[8][9]
The Imperial Russian Navy continued to expand in the later part of the century becoming the third largest fleet in the world after the UK and France. The expansion accelerated under Tsar Nicholas II who had been influenced by the American naval theoretician Alfred Thayer Mahan. Russian industry, although growing in capacity, was not able to meet the demands and some ships were ordered from the UK, France, Germany, USA, and Denmark. French naval architects in particular had a considerable influence on Russian designs.
Russia's slow technical and economic development in the first half of the 19th century caused her to fall behind other European countries in the field of steamboatconstruction. By the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1853, Russia had the Baltic and Black Sea Fleets, Arkhangelsk Flotilla, Caspian Flotilla and Okhotsk Flotilla (altogether, 40 battleships, 15 frigates, 24 corvettes and brigs, 16 steam frigates etc.).
The combined number of staff of all the fleets equaled 91,000 people. Despite all this, the reactionary serfdom system had an adverse effect on the development of the Russian Navy. It was especially typical of the Baltic Fleet, which was known for its harsh military drill.
Thanks to admirals Mikhail Lazarev, Pavel Nakhimov, Vladimir Kornilov, and Vladimir Istomin, the sailors of the Black Sea Fleet were taught the art of warfare and upholding of military traditions of the Russian Navy, formed in the times of Admiral Ushakov.
The Battle of Sinop in 1853 the Black Sea Fleet under Nakhimov made a number of tactical innovations. During the Siege of Sevastopol in 1854-1855, the Russian sailors used all means possible to defend their base from land and sea. In accordance with the Treaty of Paris, Russia lost the right to have a military fleet in the Black Sea. In the 1860s, the Russian fleet which had relied upon sails lost its significance and was gradually replaced by steam.
After the Crimean War, Russia commenced construction of steam-powered ironclads, monitors, and floating batteries. These vessels had strong artillery and thick armor, but lacked seaworthiness, speed and long-distance abilities. In 1861, they built the first steel-armored gunship Opyt (Опыт). In 1869, the Russians began the construction of one of the first seafaring ironclads, Petr Veliky (Пётр Великий).

Honestly I think the rest of Europe is just going "Damn, he got really lucky finding that Tesla guy."
I also think how we influence the American election will be interesting. Harrison was elected because he was a good diplomat and keen on opening up ties to Europe. I wonder if that will change with the newfound tension.

As not too big of a Russian military fan, how exactly do we rate compared to other world navies? I understand that we have the third biggest, but does that mean we have the third best?
