Location of Muscovy in the Russian Federation

The Republic of Muscovy is by far the largest member state, in terms of population, of the Russian Federation. It is the core of what was left of the Russian Empire after the fall of the SNOR regime. During the last decade of the 20th century, it competed with the Republic of Petrograd and Novgorod over the hegemony of the Federation, but since Denis Arapov was elected president of the latter, the RPN has changed its orientation to the west, in particular the Baltic League. Since that time, the Federation has been dominated by Muscovy.

Muscovy is a member of the Caspian Ecotopic Association

Administration

Government

Muscovy is a presidential republic. The parliament, the Moskovskaya Duma or Mosduma, consists of 531 members. Although the republic has a multi-party system, power is mostly in the hands of non-aligned people with a snorist background.

The president is Arkadi Abkin, and in the opinion of many he is at least equally powerful as the president Arensky of the Russian Federation.

Chairman of the government (prime minister) is Maksim Grekov.
