The Comintern Combine was a military alliance helmed by the Soviet Union, dedicated to advancing the cause of communism across the world. It was the analogue of NATO, including nations across Europe and Africa. Its expansion accelerated rapidly as the Drug Wars and the American empire grew to cover the western hemisphere.[1]
One of the most enduring symbols of its might, even a century after the nuclear war, is the AK-97 assault rifle, a highly respected weapon that was provided to allies of the cause within and without the Combine.[2]
Behind the scenes
Comintern Combine could be a bigger and modernised version of real-world counterpart known as Warsaw Pact. It is unknown however if that faction arose from this alliance or was created in other way.
