Part 4/7:
Hanza – A capitalist oasis amid the chaos, Hanza cultivates wealth through trade, though its military might resembles that of an improvised mercenary force rather than an official military establishment.
The Spartan Order – Conversely, the Spartan Order represents a small yet elite military force. Although it operates independently, it retains the heritage of the Spetsnaz and commands a level of respect in the Metro.
Polis – The central hub of governance, Polis embodies a semblance of organization amidst the chaos. Originally run by the military, its power shifted to a council as civilian oversight gained prominence. Polis survives mainly through its surviving military personnel, who continue to display the Double-Headed Eagle as a symbol of Russia's legacy.
