This time, of Russian Ethiopia. The POD is that the attempt of having a Russian colony in what is now Djibouti got at hand, and Ethiopia was given a protectorate status, later being annexed as the Kingdom of Ethiopia under the Russian Tsar until the Revolution caused Ethiopia to gain independence again in 1918. That is until Musso and Co. invaded Ethiopia as in OTL. Musso faced a tougher Ethiopian resistance-there are Cossacks running around and Ethiopians going Cossack in uniform-until he finally used the poison gas against them.

The capital is Gannibalgrad, after Pushkin's Ethiopian grandfather. It had been changed since then to its original name of Addis Ababa.
