Generally, unless Russia's allies during the war are willing to help arm the troops, they will be forced to fight in hand-to-hand combat.

Colonial Posessions

Decent map of the Russian Empire, around 1913: 

Pros [What your nation is good at/what they have in surplus]


Extremely large military, Much land (mostly uncultivated)


Cons [What your nations lacks]


Poorly equipped troops, low troop morale


Allies


Russia currently has no current allies, as they have recently left the 'Triple Entente', in hopes of warming relations with the central powers, in order to conduct trade and use their industrial strength. Russia also feared that the 'Triple Entente' would rouse fears of the central powers being encircled, so this was also a move to keep peace.


Alignment [Central, Entente, Neutral] 
Russia is neutral, but central-leaning. ( This is alternate history, of course. If the moderators of the RP wish me to change this, I am would be willing to.)

[SIZE=11pt]Economy Status[/SIZE]


[SIZE=10.5pt]The Edwardian era (1901-1910) stands out as a time of peace and plenty. There were no severe depressions and prosperity was widespread. Britain's growth rate, manufacturing output, and GDP (but not per capita) fell behind its rivals the United States, and Germany. Nevertheless, the nation still led the world in trade, finance and shipping, and had strong bases in manufacturing and mining.[/SIZE][SIZE=8.4pt][71][/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt] The industrial sector was slow to adjust to global changes, and there was a striking preference for leisure over entrepreneurship among the elite. However major achievements should be underlined. The City was the financial centre of the world—far more efficient and wide-ranging than New York, Paris or Berlin. Britain had built up a vast reserve of overseas credits in its formal Empire, as well as in its informal empire in Latin America and other nations. It had huge financial holdings in the United States, especially in railways. These assets proved vital in paying for supplies in the first years of the World War. The amenities, especially in urban life, were accumulating – prosperity was highly visible. The working classes were beginning to protest politically for a greater voice in government, but the level of industrial unrest on economic issues was not high until about 1908.[/SIZE][SIZE=8.4pt][72][/SIZE]
