Well I am pretty sure that there will be someone around who will want
to play USA vs CCCP, since the Cold War has not been over for long,
and I also think due to nuclear weapons that era will stay in the
history books.

I would think of the Soviet Union as a modern, but historical nation.
Of course there is some issue with city overlap with the member states
of the Soviet Union who will show up as own nations.
