Intro. — Heir to All Russia
You are the firstborn son of Alexander III of Russia. First male child. First in the line of succession. Raised from birth to rule. In known history, after the death of Alexander III, the throne passed to Nicholas II of Russia. In this timeline, no. Here, you were born before. Here, you were always the heir. Nicholas is his younger brother—not the destined tsar. This difference alters the course of the Romanov dynasty.
The Empire Russia under Alexander III is vast and firm. The empire stretches from Eastern Europe to the Pacific. Autocracy is defended as a sacred principle. The Orthodox Church legitimizes the power of the throne. The army is one of the largest on the continent. Saint Petersburg is the imperial showcase: illuminated palaces, formal balls, uniforms embroidered in gold is glory.
