1895: Imperialism: Factbook – Russia
Updated as of: 1895
Official State Name: The Russian Empire
Capital City: Saint Petersburg
Government Type: Hereditary Monarchy
Head of State: Tsar Nicholas II
Empire Size: Russia, most of the Ukraine, (Dnieper Ukraine and Crimea), Belarus, Moldova (Bessarabia), Caucasus, and most of Central Asia (Russian Turkestan), most of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia (Baltic provinces), as well as a significant part of Poland (Kingdom of Poland), and Finland (Grand Duchy of Finland.)
Population: 128,200,000 (Census 1897)
Economic Overview:
The Imperial Russian economy is currently the middle of a massive rapid industrialisation phase put forth by the policies of Sergey Witte, the current Minister of Finance. Coal, Iron and Steel production levels are in a state of high acceleration, and infrastructure development of railway and road systems is underway. Imports are increasing as a result, with more wealth in the upper classes resulting in greater demand for foreign produce, along with external support in the manner of primary sector goods. However, the large majority of the population is peasentry, and the economy is still mostly in an Agrarian state. There is little wealth in the peasentry due to high tazation as a part of Finance Minister Witte’s industrialisation policies.
Political Overview:
The Russian Empire is undergoing a time of internal unrest and civil movements. Several left-wing political parties have been formed from the largely peasent population, and there are calls for a more democratic form of governance where the people have greater say over the autocratic monarchical rule of the Tsar. The Russian government is currently unwilling to change its conditions of rule.
