USCR's reach is long. Possessing the widest variety of assets in terms on land and natural resources, USCR is clearly the most national of the corporate nations. They operate much less like a business and more like a government. The trappings and regalia of the past intertwine with the realities of the present. Their holdings stretch from Moscow over the Bering sea into the Yukon Territory in the east, from the traditional northern border of the old USSR to the Amur River in the south.
Unlike the United States in the 2120s, USCR didn't lose itself among the many large corporations that sought power. However, they did adapt. They recognized the need to be flexible within the government structures of the past. This allowed them to bring the full power of a singular government into a business merger. This corporate identity serves the citizen-workers of the USCR well, and reveals the true strength of the United Social Corporate Republic. They are a paradox. They collectively have more freedom than any MegaCon presently existing, yet are one by choice.
Their simple company mantra, "We were. Are. Will always be" is as compelling as it is true. In 2168, with the forming of the GCC, a move that the USCR deemed a threat to national-corporate independence, they began to secretly ramp up the testing and manufacture of a ultra-heavy armored MERCS. This line of thinking proved to be fortuitous in the face of the growing FCC threat. When the FCC marched on Moscow in 2171, the worker-citizens of USCR took up arms to slow the progress of the better armed FCC House 9. The resulting delay allowed USCR to finish the Behemoth 202 prototype which almost single-handedly drove back the FCC march.
