How do you think things would be if the Soviet Union never fell apart?

How do you think they would be doing as of 2013? Do you think that they would have Chinese like restrictions on the internet? And would WWIII have already happened by now that may play out like a Red Storm Rising scenario where WWIII would not be nuclear, but sure as hell close to it?

Answer
I don't know in what form the Soviet Union would be today; where is your point-of-divergence? In the real world, Gorbachev tried to save the Soviet Union by loosening political & economic control but the reforms spun out of his control. Perhaps a Chinese solution (economic freedom but not political freedom) would have been more effective, in which case I suppose the Union would look kind of like China regarding Internet controls (though they didn't seem as conformist and controlling as the Chinese).

I can say with more certainty that there would not be a WW3. Both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. have so many nukes that neither wants to step too close to the brink. It'd just be more Cold War, or a relationship like we have with China, though that wouldn't make as exciting a computer game.

The better question would be, how (if at all) would things be different in the Middle East? Would Al Qaeda have focused upon the Soviets instead of us? Would the Arab Spring have happened?

What's a popular online game of the 2013 age with these perks?

For some time now I've been searching for that one game all of my devotion will be directed towards, but I've never found it. Now I turn towards others for help. I'm looking for a specific kind of game that can be run on a laptop, one that does not require a high-end computer. I'm looking for a game with these perks:
A game that is Free-2-Play
For the computer, and is compatible with a laptop-----Windows 7/8
A small download, one that is safe and reliable
Open-World, and GTA style (Plenty of vehicles to drive, or going on foot.)
Upgrades, like in Saints Row The Third (Car modification, character customization)
Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag style graphics (As realistic as possible)
A game that lasts, something that you won't get bored with in a year
If said game has police notoriety, one that is not as relentless as that of [Prototype] 1/2
Such a game that allows you to be an indestructible foe, like a fully leveled SR3 player
Destruction-On-Demand, that of Mercenaries 2 World in Flames
Vehicle-On-Demand, that of Mercenaries 2 World in Flames as well (Airdropping in vehicles)

There probably isn't a game like this, but I'll never know unless I ask. From my current knowledge, Saints Row The Third, Just Cause 2, and Mercenaries 2 World in Flames are pretty close in comparison with these perks. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

APB Reloaded is mostly like GTA. It's free-to-play and I think you would enjoy it. It does require a minimal graphics card that can withstand it. If you have a gaming computer, I think you'll be fine. It's a fun game, I think you would enjoy it. It has character and car customization and you can choose between becoming a cop or criminal, it's up to you! It's open world and you can face other people in real-time while doing a mission. Try it out! It is a safe and reliable download, you might be asked to download some toolbars (gamersfirst) but you can easily deny it and move on with the download of the game. Download it from Steam. Have fun!
