Russia on Earth Resh

Russia on Earth Resh.

Capes in Russia:
While America and Europe were fast to assemble a Hero system separated from leading political positions, Russia went with a more direct approach.
Patriotic capes were easy to be found and quickly recruited by the Russian military under control of the Kremlin.
With the appearance of new strong capes the Russian leadership realized that military isolation would be a good strategy of defense while still keeping up trade with the Rest of the world.
Of course in the corrupt environment of Russia it didn't take long for capes to gain rather big amounts of political influence.
Rogues are tolerated but will be met with force when stepping out of the line or someone powerful wants to get them gone.

Crime:
Crime in Russia exists, most notably the Russian Mafia which is partly under control by Debitum Naturae. Types of crime include: drug trafficking, money laundering, human trafficking, extortion, murder for hire, fraud, corruption, black marketeering, terrorism, abduction, arms trafficking, the export of contraband oil and metals, and smuggling of radioactive substances. A massive amount (38%) of the nation's economy is linked to the organized Crime.
There are close connections between the Mafia and the Kremlin (Including various politicians and Oligarchs.) Debitum Naturae operates officially as an weapon manufacture under contract by the russian military. In the background they have big influence over the nation's politics and military policies. Their unofficial job is to keep national organized crime under control.

The Valley:
The Russian underground is mostly organized through something called “The Valley”.
A huge labyrinth of tunnels and portals that connect different parts of the city with each other.
Bars, hotels, empty factories, nightclubs, storage rooms, stripclubs, normal houses and huge underground areas are all part of this system that is filled with criminals, mercenaries, rogue heroes and people looking for a safe place to hide from foreign governments or international criminal groups. “The Valley” uses a justice system that is regulated and enforced by the residents who live and work here. Everyone has a big interest in keeping the place safe from violence or fights. This is neutral ground and breaking the unwritten rules of “The Valley” is a fast and sure way to get yourself killed by the angry mob of capes and armed residents.








Heroes:
Russia's Heroes are mostly all part of the standing Military and get paid a premium amount for their service in order to keep them loyal.
There are also a good amount of capes working for companies as security or as bodyguards for influential persons.

(It is planned that the new President of Russia, Vladislav Kovalenko, (or someone close to him) is a high level Master who is able to subtley and slowly change instinctual behavior of people around him.
This enables him to  manipulate his political enemies in a way that forces them to make bad decisions. They get more scared and anxious, start to act agressive and pick fights with people they shouldn't etc.
All this makes them slowly lose support of their supporters. A support cape through and through who can easily turn his bodyguards into lunatics with complete devotion to his own protection. )
