Left it out cause towards the mid to late Cold War the Soviets and Chinese, due to ideology differences in the way they approached Marxism and communism in general, kind of started hating each other. Because the game kind of builds up to the Soviet Union and most of the countries featured were under their influence, China isn’t on here is because it didn’t have much to do with the Soviet Union by that point. Other featured countries outside of the eastern bloc such as Vietnam and North Korea are here because they mostly aligned themselves with the soviets over the Chinese (or at least favoured neither). Vietnamese have always hated the Chinese and the toll the collapse of the soviets had on North Korea kinda proves their massive dependence/previous alignment with the soviets.
TLDR: china and the soviets broke up, game is meant to be Soviet aligned countries (because funny)
