Unless you really like Cold War settings (or unless I'm really
mistaken), the USSR does not exist in Shadowrun. It has not existed in
the real world for quite some time now, too. :).
Still, I'd say every country has special forces of some kind or
other, as well as every corp above a certain level. In the way the corps
are portrayed in the setting, I'd tend to say no government is really
strong, nor does the concept of a "developed country" really apply
anymore. Neither to the UCAS, nor to any other country in the world. But
that's my opinion.
