This is a very kerbalized version of the Soviet space program that lasted from 1957-1991. There will be SOME Kerbal States (US) missions, but only during the times when the Koviets aren't doing much. I will try my best to pump out a chapter every couple of days. Since this is my first crack at writing, I would greatly appreciate any criticisms (or compliments).

Its kapital city, Kerlin, was surrounded by the mighty armies of the Koviet Union. While the Kazis desperately tried to destroy all the snacks they had hoarded, the Kerbal States were trying to gather up the Kazi rocket scientists that worked on the K-2 rocket, the first missile of sorts. Werhner von Kerman and his missile team had heard of the strict snack confiscation policy imposed by the Koviets, and together they decided that they loved their cheese dip too much to surrender to the Koviets. Desperate to save their snacks, they snuck towards the Kerbal State's army under cover of darkness. After many days of travel through the woods, they finally surrendered to KS forces. The Kerbal States hit the jackpot of rocket scientists. But even the lead rocket scientists in the world could not keep up with a somewhat obscure kerbal that had only recently gotten out of prison. K-2 rocket, ballistic reentry test, first object to cross the Kérman line One year. Sergei Kermanolev had only been out of prison for nearly a year, and was still facing charges for supposedly hiding snacks from the Kommunist Party. Only recently had he failed in attaching SRBs to a fighter plane to boost its clime rate. While he worked on SRB powered planes unsuccessfully under his superior Klushko, the Kazis finally surrendered unconditionally. With the surrender of the Kazis, the Koviet forces captured K-2 rockets that were sent back to Krussia. Kermanolev, Klushko, and other Koviet scientists analyzed the captured rockets and started to draw designs for improved versions. Political tensions rose between the UKKR (Union of Kommunist Kocialist Republiks) and the Kerbal States over how to divide up the old Kazi land. With the future of Kerbin very uncertain, the rocket scientists on both sides worked frantically to develop interkontinental ballistic missiles to attack each other. With the Koviets getting more and more secretive and less open to negotiations with the KS, the Kold War had begun.
