The world had been ravaged by war. The empires of Europe have refused to meet their end, and have persisted throughout the millennium.

In the dawn of the second millennium, the Tsardom of Russia is the world's greatest superpower, and is only challenged by the British Empire, which slowly loses ground with each day.

Worlds Apart: World Beyond
Alexei Alekseyevich Sokolov, Alyosha to his family was having one of those rare moments of peace. He's and as President of Russia, he's always got a lot on his plate, but today was different. For once, he was able to just relax with his wife, Elizaveta Andreevna Nikolaeva (Elia), and their three daughters Anastasia (Alya), Marina (Masha), and Daria (Dasha). They were all enjoying a simple picnic, and for a moment, everything felt... normal. Almost like nothing bad could ever happen. Then, out of nowhere, the sky flickered just a quick, blinding flash that only lasted a couple of seconds. Alyosha froze, eyes scanning the sky, wondering what the heck had just happened. His family looked around, equally confused. It came and went, leaving no trace, but something about it felt wrong. An hour later, the phone rang. The voice on the other end was frantic. Alyosha's stomach dropped as he rushed to the conference room. Being the president, he's used to receiving urgent news, but this was different. His generals didn't waste any time. Their words hit him like a punch to the gut: "Mr. President, Russia... has been transported to another world." At first, it didn't make sense. Russia's land was still the same familiar as ever. The sky, the air, the terrain it all looked like it always had but something was clearly off. The world beyond their borders was completely otherworldly. The landscape felt wrong, like it belonged to another era a realm born of legend and myth. Was this some kind of enchanted realm? The generals didn't have answers. What they did know was that Russia was no longer where it had been. Russia had been transported to a strange, fantastical world, one that defied all explanation. While the sky above them looked the same, everything around them felt like it came out of an epic medieval tale. The air thrummed with a strange energy and the lands beyond their borders held a mysterious, almost arcane quality. Magic? Creatures from legend? Nobody knew for sure.

ЦАРЬ KAISER - A Race to Conquer (Countryhumans)
What do emperors do best? Rule, of course. Enforce, command, and conquer. Russian Empire is described by many negative adjectives: Proud, arrogant, belligerent, and constantly on the brink of offence. He's aggressive and powerful, and always waving his flag, but everyone, including himself, knows the real Tsar; just plain, boring, mean, and snobbish. It's clear that nobody wants to come close to the fussy emperor of all Russia's. Who is German Empire? A retired general who is made of steel only welded with wax. Civilian life gnaws at his weakest points and no amount of defiance, fiery determination, or brute force could help. Fitting in painfully into the beat of calm society had caused him to draw away and seclude. Those with whom he still communicates know that his crafty nature, ambitious planning, and strong leadership skills could potentially propel him forward to become a modern hero. Emperors like to be special and unique. They prefer to be in their own domain and don't enjoy a 'friendly' competition. What do you expect once they meet and arbitrarily start to talk? Well, nothing short of a nuclear blast. There is a race to conquer--land, power, and hearts. Who will be victorious? The Tsar or the Kaiser?Complete
