You're looking better on your new app, but there's new glaring issues. Particularly in regards to the treatment of the local economy.

Typically speaking for Russia a lot of the industry is focused in the more populated north. Southern Russia, particularly in the mountains is focused primarily on resource extraction in a hand full of minerals (copper, lead, etc) which would have been sent out of the area to where the factories are, western Russia. Even given the Soviet Union in our history they didn't industrially develop the region and Sochi in general isn't and hasn't ever been a strong industrial city and has developed more as a tourism center and for agriculture (Sochi is the only place in Russia that grows tea as I'm aware).

Your app treats the region as being very stable and at a well developed, stable state. But you forget that the area has been at war with itself for seven years and poorer parts of Russia like the south would be poorer still. They'd be incapable of launching large-scale earth work projects like the fort line you said they built to keep a hold on the territory. And they certainly wouldn't have or would have very limited industrial capacity to do it.

Further, conflict in a region or a country often leads to a brain-drain effect. See the middle east in the 20th century or even Syria today when many middle-class professionals opted to escape the country and region at the head of warfare. Being a part of an unstable region does not lead itself to investment opportunities, and CEOs would have abandoned Russia for the more stable west when war broke out. They would have been followed by the scientists as threat of someone's lab being raided by paramilitaries looking for supplies or shit to sell to fund themselves, or just general banditry and looting and heavily weakened services from a lack of finance and a broken economy would leave them unprotected.

You seem to be handling your app more as if it were a well established real country as opposed to an unsettled local-state as would be expected in the post-Apocalypse. Self defense wouldn't come with expensive and industrial fortifications but from shifting alliances. Or in the setting of PoW: foreign aid and interference.

If you want to be a strong industrial nation in PoW, and in PoW's Russia you got to work for that.

Totally understand your points. Will change it so that most industry in the country is cottage industry. Maybe one or two repurposed workshops or factories in 1960. Also will make it so the defensive line is just bunkers made from leftover stone from the mines. I may also say there is an unspoken none aggression pact with Georgia as attacking each other would just be to hard in the mountains. As such the countries sometimes share information with each other and in rare cases work together. Maybe one or two of the rebel factions that have the mentality the enemy of my enemy is my friend and are working with my country. Also maybe a few rebel groups are hiding out in the mountains of my country as well as criminals. 

Overall I think my country should be able to provide for its own people just about. But I imagine my country is lacking in modern equipment, intellectuals, industrial power and severe lack of potential external trade.

Anything that you don't think I have addressed let me know.
