Rossiya: Russia Overhaul

"Россия велика" — Russia is great.

Rossiya transforms Victoria 3’s Russian experience through comprehensive historical localization. Every law, technology, ideology, resource and country name has been transliterated into Russian, immersing you in the world of the Tsarist Empire from the moment you open the game.

• Complete Country Renaming — Russia becomes Rossiya, with all dynamic variants fully transliterated including the Soviet Union (Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik), RSFSR, Russian Republic, and the Rossiysko-Amerikanskaya Kompaniya
• Full Goods & Resources Transliteration — All resources renamed in Russian. Ugol for Coal, Zhelezo for Iron, Vodka for Liquor, Zerno for Grain, Kauchuk for Rubber
• Historically Authentic Law & Ideology Names — Real Russian terminology throughout. Samoderzhavie for Autocracy, Krepostnoe Pravo for Serfdom, Okhranka for Secret Police, Zemskie Sobory for Crownland Diets
• Complete Technology Tree Transliteration — All technologies across all research trees renamed. Martenovskaya Pech for Open Hearth Furnace, Zheleznye Dorogi for Railways, Prosveshcheniye for Enlightenment Thought

This mod is actively developed and updated regularly. Here is the full development journey:

Compatible with Victoria 3 version 1.*.* — should work alongside most mods that do not modify localization files.

This mod is a learning project. I started Victoria 3 modding with zero coding experience and am documenting the entire journey publicly. Every update reflects a real milestone in learning how game modding works. If you are curious about the process, the full development history is on GitHub.
