WELCOME TO THE COLD WAR MOTHERforgetER. Only this time, you're not allowed to be a big balled powerhouse. You aren't even allowed to build nukes! You must take up arms as a lesser nation and gain favor with your big brother so YOU can eventually become a world superpower!
"What is the ultimate goal?" I hear you ask. Well, the PENULTIMATE goal is to ensure the longevity of your big brother, otherwise your country will face a hell of a lot of problems. Your ULTIMATE goal is to outlast the enemy's big brother. However, since both world superpowers (USSR and USA) are both pretty on edge and don't really want to fight, you're gonna need to wait a bit before they're ready to come to blows (or maybe they won't at all!)
Absolutely ANY country you could ever want to be--during the Cold War era and not in the nonplayable list--is 100% fair game!

After dropping the glorious communist hammer on those dirty fascist dogs, the mighty Soviet Union stands tall and proud! The Motherland, despite her overwhelming victory, is still in disarray as a result of her children's sacrifices. Those western traitors provided absolutely no aid to our cause! To THEIR cause! Distrust has been sowed between our world and theirs as a result, and the might of the promiscuous Baroness of the West has been demonstrated not once but twice! What is this new weapon?! How did it come to be?! Our spies will find out soon enough... For the glory of the Motherland!
Our oversea bases have risen from 14 to over 30,000. We went from the 17th largest military power to the 1st. Our GDP has doubled. We command 1/2 of the world's manufacturing capacity and 2/3 of the world's gold stocks. We dominate the world economy. We can launch the world into a generation of globalization, although not before those dirty reds have been dealt with. Their ideology is like a plague infecting the land. Our greatest trade partners and Europe, both in its iron fist and decapitated by its bloody doctrine. We must alleviate the world from its hold, for it is our duty! Even if the Soviet Terror must face the atomic power of Lady Columbia, by God will they be beaten into submission!
Oh, what happy days these are! Those Jap dogs have been defeated at the hands of our dear allies, the United States! The destruction caused by the Japanese has rendered much farmland useless and many people homeless and hungry. Thankfully, a great man named Mao Zedong has proposed a way to save our country from collapse! He suggests something known as "communism"!
Jesus Christ. First Jerry won't stop being a forgetin' handicap, and now the commies have gotta step up and fill in the gap. What a load of stuff.
