It just liberalized. USSR stands for Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics and they're just as infested with megacorps as the rest of the still-habitable parts of the planet
Yes of course, but what i was referring to was this line in the game about how a liberal socdem 'USSR' still manages to be better than the U.S.
And in CP2077 Yurop all citizens are legally entitled to real vegetables in their diet. Murikans get kibble and high-protein bacterial colonies.
What do you mean? This is just US2023
LOL would the Russian version of this new name even translate to USSR?
yes!
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) = Союз Советских Социалистических Республик (СССР)
Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics (USSR) = Союз Суверенных Советских Республик (СССР)
It's funny because the SSRs already had the legal right to secede lol. Why change the name?
The idea of "Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics" is taken from real life. It was an attempt to reform Soviet Union into less centralized federal system. They wanted to give it a new name but also save acronym (USSR/СССР). This replacement never happened because of August Coup (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Union_Treaty).
This just proves Gorby was dumb
I remember reading a chip about how the USSR would implant criminal's brains inside of bulldozers and stuff and use them for construction
