苏维埃联盟, as one of the seven major powers, has a unique national focus tree.
The Soviet focus tree includes four, both historical and alternative, branches: (Old data before Barbarossa Update)
- Finish the Five Year Plan focuses on the development of infrastructure and factories
- Stalin Constitution focuses on manpower and research
- Found the PCDI is the main diplomatic tree that focuses on international relations
- Permanent Revolution / The Great Purge focuses on internal restructuring to unlock the full power of the Soviet Union.
Infrastructure Effort/Heavy Industry Branch
| Focus | Effect(s) | Prerequisite(s) | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Infrastructure Effort |
|
No National Focus Prerequisites The following will bypass the focus
|
Soviet Union is vast but mostly empty. We must ensure the ability to transport goods and equipment across the width of the country quickly. |
 |
Heavy Industry |
|
No National Focus Prerequisites |
While our industrialization projects continue to gain speed, the time has come to shift towards a bigger emphasis on heavy industry in preparation for producing more war material. |
 |
Finish the Five Year Plan
(Communist name)
(Non-Communist name) |
|
|
The second Five Year Plan prioritizes the development of heavy industry. The Soviet Union must develop quickly in order to match the Capitalist and Fascist powers of the West.
(Communist description)
(Non-Communist description) |
 |
Improve Railway Network |
|
|
Our First Five year plan proved to be too successful. The massive expansion in heavy industry has left the Soviet Union in a much stronger position to defend herself but the soviet railway network has hit some critical bottlenecks. The People's Commissariat of Railways (NKPS) has an ambitious plan to close these bottlenecks and ensure that we can defend the motherland. |
 |
Third Five Year Plan
(Communist name)
(Non-Communist name) |
|
Additional prerequisites:
|
While peace lasts, we must drive our industrialization further and faster to meet the needs of our people and our military.
(Communist description)
(Non-Communist description) |
 |
Increase State Reserves |
|
Third Five Year Plan or New Project for National Industrialization Additional prerequisites:
|
Our growing industry hungers for more and more resources. We can not always ensure that the growth in resource production keeps pace, and must build up reserves where we can. |
|
Reorganize the PC of Heavy Industry
(Communist name)
(Non-Communist name) |
|
Third Five Year Plan or New Project for National Industrialization
Additional prerequisites:
|
Our previous shift towards heavy industry has caused some inefficiencies in the administration to become apparent. We must ensure that the right people are put in the right places to make operations run smoothly again. |
|
Industrial Modernization |
|
Reorganize the PC of Heavy Industry or Reorganize the Ministry of Industry
Additional prerequisites:
|
Western countries are rapidly implementing new production methods and introducing new technologies. We can not be content with merely keeping pace with them - we must overtake them! |
|
Shift To Armaments Production |
|
Third Five Year Plan or New Project for National Industrialization
Additional prerequisites:
|
War is brewing. We do not know who will strike first, but sooner or later we will find ourselves under attack. We must prepare for it now, to be ready when the time comes. |
|
Optimize Production Lines |
|
Shift To Armaments Production
Additional prerequisites:
|
Other countries have successfully implemented "Fordism" in their factories to maximize production. We must learn from their example. |
|
Steel Casting Industry |
|
Requires one of the following:
Additional prerequisites:
|
Our metalurgic industries have been at the forefront of our industrial growth, but they can be pushed even further with the adoption of new production methods. |
|
Synthetic Rubber |
|
Steel Casting Industry
Additional prerequisites:
|
The day will come when we can no longer rely on the import of foreign rubber. When that day comes, we must be prepared to meet our rubber needs with domestic production. |
|
Oil Production |
|
Steel Casting Industry
Additional prerequisites:
|
The next logical step in our industral development as well as in our military modernization is to increase motorization. This will require huge stocks of lubricants and fuel. Thankfully, we posess ample reserves of oil that can be used for this if we develop the necessary industries. |
|
Restoration and Development |
 Restoration and Development
Now that the war has ended, we can return to developing our industries in peace and improve the life of our people.

|
Fourth Five Year Plan
(Communist name)
(Non-Communist name) |
|
Restoration and Development
Additional prerequisites:
|
It will still take some time before the disruptions of the war have been fully made good, but by setting the right goals, we can already gain some productivity gains. |
|
Found the COMECON

|
Fourth Five Year Plan or A New Beginning
|
The war has shown that we need to improve our cooperation and the economic development of our friends and partners. To that end, we will form an organization to coordinate trade and economic development between our nations.
(Communist description)
(Non-Communist description) |
|
National Specialists |
|
Finish the Five Year Plan or Abolish the Five Year Plan
|
Our economic development must primarily be driven by people familiar with the state it is in. Foreigners would take a long time to gain that knowledge, and, perhaps even worse - would take it with them when they leave. |
|
Foreign Experts |
|
Finish the Five Year Plan or Abolish the Five Year Plan
|
There are many foreign experts who could teach us a lot about how to improve our economy. Thankfully, many of them are capitalists and can therefore be bought. |
|
|
Eastern Development |
|
Requires one of the following:
|
The areas of the Far East beyond the Ural mountains offer vast, untapped resources and wide areas for industrial development. We must ensure that they are prepared to power bigger projects. |
|
|
Develop the Urals |
|
Requires one of the following:
|
The biggest threat against our nation will probably come from a nation in Europe. By developing the areas beyond the Ural mountains, we will create a reserve of industrial capacity that even the longest-ranged bomber will find difficult to reach. |
|
The USSR Academy of Sciences
(Communist name)
(Non-Communist name) |
 USSR Academy of Sciences
Imperial Academy of Sciences
|
Requires all of the following:
|
To remain competitive in the the fields of applied sciences, we must also be on the forefront of the theoretical sciences. We already have a well-established academy of sciences, but with some additional funding, it would provide us with a truly world-class research infrastructure. |
|
National Academies of Sciences |
|
The USSR Academy of Sciences or A The Imperial Academy Of Sciences
|
Modelling after our own Academy of Sciences, our partner nations should also be encouraged to establish similar institutes in order to boost their own research capabilities. |
|
No Time For Peace |
 No matter how much we might wish for it, there is little hope for a lasting peace. New weapons and technologies will make war even more devastating than before, and, sadly, we must invest our hard-earned resources to ensure that we can keep pace with our enemies. |

Transpolar Flights Branch
| Focus | Effect(s) | Prerequisite(s) | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Transpolar Flights |
|
No National Focus Prerequisites | Our bravest pilots are just beginning to prove that daring routes across the arctic are possible. By using unexpected shortcuts like these in our planning of aerial warfare, we will be able to surprise the enemy. |
|
Expand the Aircraft Industry |
|
Transpolar Flights
|
In the wars to come, our air force will have to secure the skies against enemies equipped with the most modern equipment. We must ensure that they not only have comparable planes, but also that they have enough of them. |
|
Modernize Aircraft Facilities | Expand the Aircraft Industry
|
The best plane in the world will soon become useless if it has to take off from bumpy runways and be maintained in leaky sheds. To ensure the best possible performance, we must also have the best possible infrastructure. | |
|
Merge Aircraft Plants |
|
Modernize Aircraft Facilities
|
While competition between designers creates a natural incentive to constantly improve, it also saps resources on duplicate efforts that we can ill-afford. We should merge our design bureaus to eliminate this waste. |
|
Found the Jet Institute |
|
Requires all of the following:
|
The current piston engines can only be pushed so far. Future planes will have to rely on new methods of propulsion. We should found an institute to do research into jet engines to ensure that we will not be overtaken by foreign developments. |
|
Foster Flying Clubs |
|
Transpolar Flights
|
New pilots are expensive to train if they have never seen a plane before they start training. But many young people are fascinated by flying, and with some support, could grow into very capable pilots that could pick up the finer points of air combat very quickly if they already know the basics of piloting an aircraft. |
|
Women in Aviation |
|
Foster Flying Clubs
|
In the past, backwards elements in society have declared flying to be a man's field. However, women around the world have ignored this and have shown that they are every bit as good as their male colleagues. We should encourage our women to try their hand at flying, to select the most capable pilots among them. |
|
Raskova's Aviation Group
(Communist name)
(Non-Communist name) |
|
Women in Aviation
|
Marina Raskova has proven herself an extremely capable navigator and pilot. With our resources stretched thin in the current war, we can't afford to let someone as experienced as her sit by the sidelines. We should give her the resources to raise a number of aviation units to support the struggle.
(Communist description)
(Non-Communist description) |
|
Expand Aviation Institutes |
|
Requires one of the following:
|
The biggest bottleneck to increasing the size of our air force is our capacity for pilot training. By expanding our pilot schools, we will lay the foundation for a bigger and more competent air force. |
|
Increase Aircraft Production |
|
Expand the Aircraft Industry
|
There has been an overemphasis on safety lately, which has started to negatively affect the production numbers of new airplanes. We could save a significant amount of resources by eliminating the most excessive safety systems, while still maintaining a very safe and capable air force. |
|
Intensify Pilot Training Program |
|
Foster Flying Clubs
|
To be competitve, our Air Force must be able to fly and fight in all circumstances. The best way to achieve this is to train our pilots to the very highest standard. What we might lack in numbers or technical sophistication we will make up with sheer skill. |
|
Ground Support | Requires one of the following:
|
The primary mission of our air force must be the support of our ground forces. This fundamental fact must inform every decision made. | |
|
Long Range Aircraft |
|
Requires one of the following:
|
Technology has advanced to the point where our bombers can reach every point in the enemy's homeland and can destroy their capacity for making war in short order. The army exists primarily to hold the line until this is accomplished. |
|
|
The Modern War In the Skies | Requires one of the following:
|
Aerial Warfare has come a long way since the days of biplanes duelling over the trenches. Today, it is industrial in nature, with a high operational tempo to maintain pressure on the enemy around the clock. We must acknowledge this fact and plan accordingly. | |

Expand the Red Fleet Branch
| Focus | Effect(s) | Prerequisite(s) | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expand the Red Fleet
(Communist name)
(Democratic name)
(Non-Aligned/Fascist name) |
|
No National Focus Prerequisites | The Red Fleet is pathetically weak compared to the navies of the imperialist powers. We must make its expansion a national priority!
(Communist description)
(Democratic description)
(Non-Aligned / Fascist description) |
|
Reinforce Western Naval Bases |
|
Expand the Red Fleet or Expand the Russian Fleet or Expand the Imperial Fleet
|
The Baltic Fleet is very exposed in its bases. We should invest some resources into protecting its anchorages and improve its repair capacities. |
|
Reinforce Northern Naval Bases | Expand the Red Fleet or Expand the Russian Fleet or Expand the Imperial Fleet
|
Despite being located north of the Arctic circle, Murmansk is ironically our only port that remains ice-free the entire year and has access to the open oceans. We should develop it further to allow better access to the rest of the world. | |
|
Reinforce Southern Naval Bases |
|
Expand the Red Fleet or Expand the Russian Fleet or Expand the Imperial Fleet
One of the following must be true:
|
The Black Sea might look like a secondary theater. But if we lose control over it, we will open up our entire southern territories up to enemy invasion, as happened in the Crimean War. We must not let this happen again, and should strengthen the naval bases in the region. |
|
Reinforce Eastern Naval Bases | Expand the Red Fleet or Expand the Russian Fleet or Expand the Imperial Fleet
|
Even after the humiliation of 1905, the Japanese have not stopped making noises about encroaching on our territories. We must be ready for war against them, and that means strengthening our naval bases in the region. | |
|
Expand Shipbuilding Plants |
|
Requires one of the following:
|
Our geography forces us to have widely spread out shipyards to support our various fleets. Any attempt at increasing our shipbuilding capacity therefore has to be spread out as well. |
|
|
Merge Naval Plants |
|
Expand Shipbuilding Plants
|
Naval construction and ship design is a time-consuming process, in which excessive competition is simply inefficient. We should merge our design bureaus to eliminate this waste of effort. |
|
PC of the USSR Navy
(Communist name)
(Non-Communist name) |
 The Red Fleet
The Russian Fleet
|
Expand the Red Fleet or Expand the Russian Fleet or Expand the Imperial Fleet
|
With our Navy becoming more modern and more capable, it is time to recognize it as a combat arm that is equal to the Army in importance. The first step is to allow the Navy to form an administration separate from the Army. |
|
Surface Warfare | PC of the USSR Navy or Ministry of the Russian Navy
|
Capital ships require a significant investment of time and resources, and often end up being obsolete before they are even finished building. Smaller vessels can be built much faster and consequently can keep pace with technological developments much easier. We should focus on developing our light forces as the primary arm of naval warfare. | |
|
Offensive Maritime Strategy |
|
Surface Warfare
|
We can not afford to sit back and wait for the enemy to come to us. We must take the initiative and attack the enemy wherever we can. |
|
Submarine Warfare | PC of the USSR Navy or Ministry of the Russian Navy
|
Submarines offer significant advantages in naval combat. A well-designed modern submarine is practically undetectable before it fires its torpedoes, potentially crippling a capital ship many times its size and cost. We should focus on devloping these vessels as the main offensive power of our navy. | |
|
Long Range Raiders |
|
Submarine Warfare
|
With the distance from our naval bases to the main shipping lanes, our current submarines will find difficult to reach the rich hunting grounds. We should develop longer-ranged submarines to ensure we can attack our enemies where it hurts the most. |
|
An Oceangoing Navy |
|
Requires one of the following:
|
Although the Union encompasses a greater land area than any nation on the planet, the oceans of the world are yet to be ruled by our ships. Heavily armored battleships will be a part of our future ocean going fleet. |
|
Mine Warfare |
 Mine Warfare
It is uneconomic to try and defend our entire coastline with ships. By laying minefields in strategic locations we can deter or at least damage any enemy fleet trying to close to our coasts.
|
Requires one of the following:
|
It is uneconomic to try and defend our entire coastline with ships. By laying minefields in strategic locations we can deter or at least damage any enemy fleet trying to close to our coasts. |
|
Advanced Maneuvers |
|
Requires all of the following:
|
Having large and modern ships is pointless if their crews have no idea of how to use them. We must institute regular, large-scale naval exercises to train our crews and officers in modern naval warfare. |
|
Naval Infantry |
|
Advanced Maneuvers
|
While we have no intention to invade hostile shores in imperialistic endeavours, a force of dedicated naval infantry can be very useful to raid enemy shore installations and threaten the enemy's coastline.
(Communist description)
(Non-Communist description) |
|
Expand the Morskaya Aviatsiya |
|
Advanced Maneuvers
Requires one of the following:
|
Airplanes have already changed the nature of land warfare dramatically. In the future, they will pose significant dangers to even the most modern surface ships. We should ensure that we will always have a modern naval aviation arm to support our other vessels. |
