Artistic Forces/Commonwealth of Collective States

"Духовные наследники Постсоветских Государств, объединяйтесь!"

- The voice when the CCS is selected in the Campaign mode.

The Commonwealth of Collective States is one of the factions in Artistic Forces.

Description
The CCS is an organization made of the alliance that consists of the 12 post-Soviet countries: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, and Turkmenistan, with Russia being its dominant leader. To keep the existence of their respective countries and survive through the other planet, they cooperate with the people from Animatopia as the humanity itself. Their military doctrine revolved around the concept of superior firepower, ground supremacy, numerical superiority of swarming thousand of soldiers of the post-Soviet military forces and reliance on highly advanced but conventionally based technologies, using primarily on heavily armored divisions. However, they were known for employing cheap infantry in the role of armor support. In addition, their military arsenal has involved radiological warfare, and obtained a huge variety of military weapons, vehicles, aircraft and vessels that are purchased via the post-Soviet and Russian supplementary markets to keep the advantages of their military doctrine going, including nuclear weapons.

Strategy
The CCS is a steamroller-type, tank-heavy faction that keeps the enemy occupied with decent, affordable infantry units early on while building up the economy to field an assault force of strong armored vehicles, helicopters, aircraft, and vessels to deliver a crushing blow. They excel at brute force assaults, but tend to be unsubtle and direct to a fault.

Sub-factions
The CCS has only 2 sub-faction: the winter branch of the Siberian Division and the manufacturing branch of the Makers' Guild.

Siberian Division
An elite corps formed from the men and women of Siberia, and similar frozen tundra, the Siberian Division is a group of specialists in winter warfare, and has devices to turn any battlefield they're in into a frozen wasteland otherwise, using the snow to hide and rapidly move while trespassers are weakened and slowed by general winter, before the Division charges in and finishes them off with their flame weaponry.

Makers' Guild
Foiling the quote of one of their more infamous ruler's "quantity has a quality all its own", the Makers' Guild uses their homeland's vast resources and industrial complex to forge a near limitless supply of shells and artillery pieces, using their factories to churn out more numerous, if weaker and/or inaccurate, swarms of unmanned vehicles and artillery, blotting out the skies with a rain of explosive shells. And recycling the wreckage on both sides to rebuild their forces all over again.

Trivia

 * The CCS is based off the former Soviet Union, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), with Russia being its dominant and factional leader.
 * Although this faction is multilingual like the ESU, most of its units and the announcer himself speak in Russian accent.
 * The gameplay of this faction is based on the Soviets from the Command & Conquer: Red Alert universe, Russia in Command & Conquer: Generals mods (specifically Rise of the Reds and End of Days), Consortium from Act of War, and the Soviet Union from Axis & Allies and Company of Heroes.
 * The CCS is one of the few factions that only has some factional theme songs with lyrics in their respective languages, the other ones are the Josei Guntai and Yami Musume. However, the only difference is the Russian language, used for lyrics and choruses of some of these theme songs.
