The

>From the timeline:
"A Beijing sponsored coup in Moscow results in the return of 
Communist government to Russia and several of the Commonwealth 
Republics. The Tsar and a sizeable military force flee to the 
Ukraine, who along with Byelorussia and the Baltic States remain free 
of the Communist shackle. The Communist states then create the 
Eurasian Union. The remaining Commonwealth States create the Romanov 
Hegemony, realising that divided they will be picked off by the 
Eurasian Union in time"  

Which can be taken as implying that the RH only consists of Ukraine, 
Belarus and the baltic states. Maybe bits of southern Russia and 
Georgia and neighbouring states (some of whom are Muslim), but I'd be 
surprised if the RH spreads as far east as the big Muslim states in 
central Asia (all those something-stans).
