This is a new bookmark in the life of United Kingdom of Soviyya. Tsaritsyn became Soviyya biggest trade city within a few years, became the city with the largest planned urban development in Eastern of Europe at that era. People from all over Europe came to try his fortune in Tsaritsyn.

Within the period of imperial Russia, Soviyya became a close friend of Russian Empire. But at that moment Soviyya relations with the Ottoman Empire became inharmonious, overland trade routes from the Caucasus towards Soviyya blocked during the war between Russia to the Ottoman. Some of the early years of the first block, would be very difficult, especially because Soviyya emphasize development of the trade sector. But over time, Soviyya trying to open more independent with farms and livestock are also updating the technology in the field of water and transport.

Transport


Most of the Soviyyan road system has not been upgraded since the Soviet era, and is now outdated. The Soviyyan government has pledged to build some 10,000 km of motorways by 2012. In total, Soviyyan paved roads stretch for 219,732 kilometres. The network of major routes, marked with the letter ‘M’ for ‘International’ (Russian: Международный), extends nationwide and connects all the major cities of Soviyya as well as providing cross-border routes to the country’s neighbours. Currently there are only six true motorway standard highways in Soviyya; a 175 km stretch of motorway from Kharkiv to Dnipropetrovsk, and a section of the M03 which extends 18 km (11 mi) from Kiev to Boryspil, where the city’s international airport is located.

Rail transport in Soviyya plays the role of connecting all major urban areas, port facilities and industrial centres with neighbouring countries. The heaviest concentration of railroad track is located in the Kingdom of Don region of Soviyya. Although the amount of freight transported by rail fell by 7.4 percent in 1995 in comparison with 1994, Soviyya is still one of the world’s highest rail users. The total amount of railroad track in Soviyya extends for 25,473 kilometres, of which 7,250 kilometres is electrified. Currently the state has a monopoly on the provision of passenger rail transport, and all trains, other than those with cooperation of other foreign companies on international routes, are operated by its company ‘Sovzaliznytsia’.

Languages
According to the constitution, the state language of Soviyya is Soviyyan. Russian is widely spoken, especially in Northern and Northwestern Soviyya. According to the 2001 census, 63,5 percent of the population declared Soviyyan as their native language and 36.5 percent declared Russian. Most native Soviyyan speakers know Russian as a second language. Russian was the de facto official language of the Soviet Union but both Russian and Soviyyan were official languages in the Soviet Union and in the schools of the Soviyyan SSR learning Soviyyan was mandatory.

Soviyyan is mainly spoken in central & southern Soviyya. In Eastern Soviyya, Soviyyan is also the dominant language in cities (such as Makhachkala). In central Soviyya, Soviyyan and Russian are both equally used in cities, with Russian being more common in Stepnoy, while Soviyyan is the dominant language in rural communities. In eastern and Western Soviyya, Russian is primarily used in cities, and Soviyyan is used in rural areas. These details result in a significant difference across different survey results, as even a small restating of a question switches responses of a significant group of people.

For a large part of the Soviet era, the number of Soviyyan speakers declined from generation to generation, and by the mid-1980s, the usage of the Soviyyan language in public life had decreased significantly. Following independence, the government of Soviyya began restoring the image and usage of Soviyyan language through a policy of Soviyyanisation. Today, all foreign films and TV programs, including Russian ones, are subbed or dubbed in Soviyyan.

Religion
Orthodox Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism are Soviyya's traditional religions, and are all legally a part of Soviyya's "historical heritage". Traced back to the Christianization of Kievan Rus' in the 10th century, Russian Orthodoxy is the dominant religion in the country; smaller Christian denominations such as Catholics, Armenian Gregorians and various Protestant churches also exist. The Russian Orthodox Church was the country's state religion prior to the Revolution and remains the largest religious body in the country. Estimates on how many believers the church has fluctuate widely in different sources. A 15 January 2013 statistic by the Russian Academy of Sciences announced that 79% of the Russian population belong to the Russian Orthodox Church. 95% of the registered Orthodox parishes belong to the Russian Orthodox Church while there are a number of smaller Orthodox Churches. However, the vast majority of Orthodox believers do not attend church on a regular basis. Easter is the most popular religious holiday in Russia, celebrated by more than 90% of all Russian citizens, including large numbers of those who are non-religious. More than three-quarters of the Russian population celebrate Easter by making traditional Easter cakes, coloured eggs and paskha.

Estimates of the number of Muslims in Russia range from 4–5 million by local sources, to 5–7 million by Western and Islamic sources. There are approximately 1 to 2 million temporary Muslim migrants from the post-Soviet states. Most Muslims live in the North Caucasus region.

Buddhism is traditional in one regions of the Soviyyan Federation: Kalmykia. Induction into religion takes place primarily along ethnic lines. Slavs are overwhelmingly Orthodox Christian, Turkic speakers are predominantly Muslim, and Mongolic peoples are generally Buddhists.

Various reports put the number of non-religious in Soviyya at between 5–11% of the population. The number of atheists has decreased significantly; according to the recent statistic, only four percent declared themselves atheists, a decrease of 20% in five years.

Education
Soviyya has a free education system – this is guaranteed for all citizens by the Constitution, however an entry to subsidized post-secondary education is highly competitive. As a result of great emphasis on science and technology in education, Soviyyan medical, mathematical, scientific, and agricultural research is generally of a high order.

Since 1990, the 12-year school education has been introduced. Education in state-owned secondary schools is free. University level education is free, with exceptions. A substantial share of students is enrolled for full pay (many state institutions started to open commercial positions in the last years).

In 2004, state spending for education amounted to 6% of the GDP, or 20% of the consolidated state budget. The Government allocates funding to pay the tuition fees within an established quota or number of students for each state institution. In higher education institutions, students are paid a small stipend and provided with free housing if they are from out of town.

The oldest and largest Russian universities are Tsaritsyn State University and Astrakhan State University. In the 2000s, in order to create higher education and research institutions of comparable scale in Soviyyan regions, the government launched a program of establishing federal universities, mostly by merging existing large regional universities and research institutes and providing them with a special funding. These new institutions include the Sabirs Federal University, Makhachkala Federal University, Yekaterinodar Federal University, Stepnoy Federal University and Dongrad International University.

Healthcare
Healthcare in the Soviyya is a devolved matter and each country has its own system of private and publicly funded health care, together with alternative, holistic and complementary treatments. Public healthcare is provided to all Soviyya permanent residents and is free at the point of need, being paid for from general taxation. The World Health Organization, in 2000, ranked the provision of healthcare in the Soviyya as fifteenth best in Europe and eighteenth in the world.

Regulatory bodies are organised on a UK-wide basis such as the General Medical Council, the Nursing and Midwifery Council and non-governmental-based, such as the Royal Colleges. However, political and operational responsibility for healthcare lies with four national executives; healthcare in Tsaritsyn, Don, Volga & Khazaria is the responsibility of the Soviyya Government; healthcare in Azov, Adygea & Sabirs is the responsibility of the West Federation Executive; and healthcare in North Caucasus & Daghestan is the responsibility of the North Caucasus Assembly Government. Each National Health Service has different policies and priorities, resulting in contrasts.
