OK, I like most of this, but a few questions -

1) did the Russians REALLY come on board the terraforming investment, or merely take over the continent int he 2250s by force of arms?

2) Why are Russian states more interested in warring betweent hemselves? It's not massvely Russian - maybe there's unrest or revolutionary zeal, but I dont' see them wearring amongst themselves.
