Reichskommissariat Moskowien ('''RKM'''; Russian: Рейхскомиссариат Московия, romanized: ''Reykhskomissariat Moskoviya'', literally 'Realm Commissariat of Muscovy') is a colony in Eastern Europe, part of the Greater Germanic Reich, encompassing most of the former European parts of the former Russian SFSR. It is the largest European Reichskommissariat and is operated by Reichskommissar [[Siegfried Kasche]], the former German Ambassador to Croatia.
The colony utilizes the large Slavic population through a middle class of Russian laborers, providing a higher quality of life than other Reichskommissariats like [[Reichskommissariat Kaukasien|Kaukasus]]. However, the political system has provided an uneasy glimpse of stability, with pressure from eastern warlords causing difficulties in controlling the border region.
The
The [[West Russian War]] in the mid-50s led to it being nearly overrun by several Russian warlords, including the [[West Russian Revolutionary Front]], backed by the [[Organization of Free Nations]] and the [[Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere]]. Although the invasion was repelled, it diminished a large portion of the RK's land forces, giving Moskowien a "bloody nose" from which it has not recovered from to this day.
== History ==
=== Background ===
Before Operation Barbarossa, the lands that make up Moskowien was part of the Russian SFSR inside of the Soviet Union, inhabited by mostly Russians. It was a key subject of Nazi planning for the post-war expansion of the German state under the ''Lebensraum'' or Living Space under [[Generalplan Ost]]. The Nazi extermination policy in Western Russia, ended the lives of millions of people in The Holocaust and other mass killings under SS ''Einsatzgruppen'' units.
Nazi Germany aimed to permanently destroy Russia and the Russian people, regardless of their political affiliation. Adolf Hitler's Lebensraum policy, as outlined in Mein Kampf, involved disposing of Russian inhabitants and expeling them beyond the Ural mountains or through various means. The Generalplan Ost encouraged German colonial settlement in former Slavic regions. As the campaign against the Soviet Union advanced, the occupied territories were gradually transferred from military to civilian administration. Hitler's final decision involved dividing the new eastern territories into four Reichskommissariats to destroy Russia as a geographical entity.

== Military ==
The colony produces a sizeable military force, primarily made up of indigenous volunteers entrusted with protecting the territory's eastern marches against the numerous wandering warlords who frequently invade and plunder the Reichskommissariat.
More benefits, such as extra rations, creature comforts, and nicer lodging, are frequently offered to the volunteers in exchange for their service. German officials appointed by the Reich are in charge of organizing and directing them.
However, the severe losses suffered by the Reichskommissariat during the West Russian War nearly a decade ago has left them reeling from the significant loss of strength and overall combat readiness, from which they have never fully recovered from.
