Union of Soviet Sponge Republics

'''This is an article on or relating to the Sponge Canon. It does not exist in reality.''' In the Year 1900, a ship from the Planet S containing thousands of Damned Sponges landed in Vladivostok, a Russian city in the Pacific. There, the Sponges established the Siberian Commune, hoping to one day take control of the Russian Empire. They got their chance in 1905, when a peaceful protest in St. Petersburg was crushed, and a revolution occurred. The Siberian Commune eventually won, reforming the government to their perspectives.

In 1914, WW1 broke out. Around the same time, the new Eurasian Commune was established, which would be later the ESFSR, or the Eurasian Sponge Federative Soviet Republic. It declared war on the Central Powers. Because the Sponges were 50 years ahead in tech (civilian and militaristic), they beat both Germany and Austria. The Treaty of Berlin was signed, dismantling the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and war reparations to pay for public works in the ESFSR. But while the Germans were defending from the Sponges to the east, the Germans had won the war against the Western Powers by taking Paris, leading to their surrender. As the ESFSR inherited these gains, a new world order was established. The year is 1925, and the world is now dominated by the Sponges.
