The year is 2026, in a timeline where the Soviet Union won the Cold War. ### Historical Turning Points (1970s–1980s) 1. The First Oil Crisis and the "Red Golden Age" During the 1973 oil crisis, while Western nations fell into severe stagflation, the Soviet Union, rich in natural resources, reaped massive oil revenues. Backed by these funds, the Soviet leadership made a bold policy shift, moving away from a heavy-industry-focused economy toward the expansion of consumer goods and living infrastructure, alongside space development and military investment. 2. The Fruition of Science, Technology, and the "Soviet Internet" The All-State Automated System (OGAS)—a real-world proposal that was abandoned in our history—was successfully implemented in the early 1980s. This system linked factories and logistics nationwide through a state computer network, optimizing demand forecasting and the planned economy. The resulting precision in demand forecasting largely eliminated shortages, shocking the world as a successful example of a cybernetic socialist society. 3. Structural Stagnation and the Fall of the United States Meanwhile, the United States saw its national power decline significantly due to exhaustion after the Vietnam War, prolonged inflation, and a financial crisis in the 1980s. In Europe, the intensification of labor movements led to the birth of one pro-Soviet or leftist government after another, leading to the effective dissolution of NATO in 1989. ### The State of the "Soviet-Led World" (2000s–Present) 1. Global Power Map Global Expansion of the Warsaw Pact: Following the dissolution of NATO, Western European nations (such as West Germany, France, and Italy) transitioned into independent socialist democratic regimes and joined COMECON, the Soviet-led economic bloc. The Harsh Reality of America: In 1991, the West Coast declared independence as the "United Socialist States of America (USSA)" with Soviet support, leading to a cold war with the East Coast government. Its economic power has fallen far below historical levels. Multipolarization of East Asia: The Sino-Soviet split was pacified by the overwhelming economic might of the USSR. China adopted a Soviet-model IT planned economy and has become the largest production hub in Asia.
