Moscow

Moscow, the capital of Russia, is the most populous city on Earth as of 2082, and the headquarter-state of the UNSR. With the highest poverty rate in any city in Eurasia, Moscow was rated as the city with the second-highest crime rate in the world, beaten by San Francisco.

After the Russian Hyperstorm of 2057, Moscow was one of the last cities to be fully functional with heating, electricity, and a secure infrastructure. Due to this, every refugee from the rest of Russia quickly came to Moscow's gates, causing not only overpopulation, but a low supply of food and space. For a long time, the citizens of Russia lived in a dark age that seemed almost post-apocalyptic.

Now, Moscow is both the proud home of the UNSR and dominant Russian Socialist Parties, but also the icy dwelling of Russia's weak, tired, and sick. It is also the most frequent target for attacks led by Russia's own anti-nationalists, who seek to overthrow the UNSR.

Cityscape
Unlike many countries in 2082, Moscow is mostly unaffected by the rising sea levels. At least, in an immediate sense; the frequent hyperstorms are recorded originating in the seas to the North. Moscow is built in a circular fashion around the fortified military headquarters known as the Kremlin. The further one goes into the city, the wealthier it's citizens appear, with districts such as the Outer Bloc District and the Southern Bulwark District being made up of old concrete apartment complexes and factories, and the inner Tverskoy District revolving around Moscow's flashy cosmopolitan centers.

Beyond the borders of Moscow lay what is called the "Defense Zone", where military armaments are placed in defense during times of war, such as the ongoing war that is raging between the UNSR and the Coalition.

Economy
Moscow's economy depends mainly on their war effort. Along with the UNSR's few allies against the Coalition, Moscow primarily exports infantry ordinance, aerial vehicles, and war cybernetics; cybernetic enhancements that include deadly weapons and armor.

Crime
While organized crime has seen a new low since the UNSR's crackdown on the Russian Mob in 2059, Moscow is still a very dangerous city. The poor have resorted to theft in order to survive, and with little to lose, many seem to find it easier to simply stab or shoot someone in order to settle their differences. In the outer city (specifically in the Outer Bloc District), the streets have become so dangerous that citizens will wear bulletproof vests and carry rifles just to go shopping.

Trivia

 * Moscow citizens, while not legally allowed to carry assault weapons in public, seem to have an understanding with the Moscow police that without them, they risk death on a daily basis. Despite this, police-civilian shootouts are all too common in the city.
 * Moscow is home to both the Torkachev Systemy Oruzhiya headquarters and the Kalashnikov Rifles headquarters.
