Good work, but when did the Soviets control that much of China and all of Mongolia?

Also, I think West Berlin should probably be excluded

Thanks! Those regions in China are Mengjiang, that was invaded by Soviet forces in 1945, and Xinjiang, that was controlled by Red Army troops as part of the Kumul rebellion in 1934. (I might reconsider the inclusion of that region, however.) Mongolia was essentially a protectorate of the USSR in the 1920s. (I might have to reconsider that, too.) And yes, West Berlin should be excluded.

Oh, interesting. If Mongolia is to be removed though, I think Mengjiang should probably be removed too since it was a joint invasion by the Soviet and Mongol Red Armies.

Why did you exclude West Berlin? They captured it in the end of WW2, also you should bring back Xinjiang that was literally Soviet puppet for some time

Considering I included all those Eastern European countries, including the whole of Berlin would make sense. Updated finally.

They are the Hanko cape (1940-41) and Porkkala (1944-1956), territories that the Soviets forced Finland to lease to them.
