If there is an item out there, there is a collector for it....
Any item hiding away "out of sight" isn't very useful for this forum. As much on topic information as possible needs to be aired in this public forum. I have a vast number of items yet to be photographed and posted (as I've only got two hands) which range in rarity and "value" from unique items that have cost me 4 figures to absolutely mass produced items which are "freebies" more often than not. As posted previously this new setup will be flexible and if something has been overlooked or new demands are presented things can be very easily changed to encompass whatever it may be. It is best to do as much planning as possible before the big change so it will need as little tweaking as possible.

In the reference books I've read, the countries outside of the Warsaw Pact were referred to bu the CIA as part of the "Soviet Sphere."
It's a broad term, but it was the official term for any country other than those who were not directly part of the Warsaw Pact but were attempting to follow the Soviet system of government such as Cuba and all the South American countries that attempted . Phillip

I hate to agree with the CIA on anything, but that phrase might just work.

Sounds good to me. We need a name for the Imperial Russian and "not yet communist" section for the Imperial Russian Sphere which doesn't work as a title as the Baltic states etc were very much post Empire.
I'm sure the word "transitional" can be used somewhere here maybe?

Here is the current line-up for the "reform".
The list is flexible and there will probably be additions to the list either before or whilst it is in place. Many of the "less clear" sections will have an introductory thread. Some of the more popular sections will also have a thread specifically for the discussion of market prices and purchase availability of related items as not to clog up topical threads with somewhat off topic posts which can distract from the flow of threads. Sections that remain completely empty at the end of the calendar year will be removed but can be replaced if future demand requires. Section 1 Republics Of The Soviet Union Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic Bukharan People's Soviet Republic Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic Khorezm People's Soviet Republic Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic -Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republics Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic Transcaucasian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic Section 2 Post Soviet States Republic Of Abkhazia Republic Of Armenia Republic Of Azerbaijan Republic Of Belarus Republic Of Estonia Republic Of Georgia Republic Of Kazakhstan Kyrgyz Republic Republic Of Latvia Republic Of Lithuania Republic Of Moldova Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic -Orders -Medals -Badges Russian Federation -Federal Orders --Federal Medals -Ministerial Medals --Ministry Of Defence --Ministry Of Internal Affairs --Federal Security Service --EMERCOM -"Umalatova" Awards -Unofficial Awards -Badges Republic Of Tajikistan Turkmenistan Ukraine -Orders -Medals Republic Of Uzbekistan Section 3 Soviet Sphere Democratic Republic Of Afghanistan -Afghan Award Groups -Afghan Titles -Afghan Orders -Afghan Medals -Afghan Badges People's Socialist Republic Of Albania -Albanian Award Groups -Albanian Titles -Albanian Orders -Albanian Medals -Albanian Badges People's Republic Of Angola People's Republic Of Benin People's Republic Of Bulgaria -Bulgarian Award Groups -Bulgarian Titles -Bulgarian Orders -Bulgarian Medals -Bulgarian Badges -Bulgarian Paper Items -Bulgarian Uniforms Socialist Republic Of The Union Of Burma People's Republic Of China -Chinese Award Groups -Chinese Orders -Chinese Medals -Chinese Badges Republic Of Cuba -Cuban Titles -Cuban Orders -Cuban Medals -Cuban Distinctions -Cuban Badges Czechoslovak Socialist Republic -Czechoslovakian Orders -Czechoslovakian Medals -Czechoslovakian Badges -Czechoslovakian Uniforms People's Democratic Republic Of Ethiopia German Democratic Republic -German Award Groups -German Titles -German Orders -German Medals -German Badges -German Paper Items -German Uniforms People's Republic Of Hungary -Hungarian Titles -Hungarian Orders -Hungarian Medals -Hungarian Badges -Hungarian Uniforms Republic Of Iraq -Iraqi Orders -Iraqi Medals -Iraqi Badges Democratic Kampuchea Democratic People's Republic Of Korea -Korean Titles -Korean Orders -Korean Medals -Korean Badges Lao People's Democratic Republic Mongolian People's Republic -Mongolian Award Groups -Mongolian Titles -Mongolian Orders -Mongolian Medals -Mongolian Badges -Mongolian Paper Items -Mongolian Uniforms People's Republic Of Poland -Polish Award Groups -Polish Orders -Polish Medals -Polish Badges Socialist Republic Of Romania -Romanian Award Groups -Romanian Titles -Romanian Orders -Romanian Medals -Romanian Badges -Romanian Uniforms Spanish Republic Tuvan People's Republic Socialist Republic Of Vietnam -Vietnamese Titles -Vietnamese Orders -Vietnamese Medals -Vietnamese Decorations -Vietnamese Badges People's Democratic Republic Of Yemen -Yemeni Orders -Yemeni Medals -Yemeni Badges Socialist Federal Republic Of Yugoslavia -Yugoslavian Award Groups -Yugoslavian Orders -Yugoslavian Medals -Yugoslavian Badges Awards And Decorations Of Socialist Parties Of Non-Communist Nations Section 4 Imperial Russian Sphere And Resulting Nations.

As I have said REPEATEDLY, current Mongolia is in no meaningful way phaleristically distinct from the MPR. The same awards continue with none of the mutilation you see, for example, in Russia (poor Suvorov, getting crucified!).
Likewise, on what basis do you slice out 1921-24 Mongolia? Pre-1921, perhaps. But do we want to discuss Qing Dynasty awards or things from Taiwan here? What about the kingdoms or Iraq or Afghanistan or the awards invented by the current occupation forces? I can recommend a few easy books on Mongolian or world history if you wish. Reform should be made on the basis of knowledge and evidence that leads to a focused and rational improvement, not just change for the sake of mandated change, and exercise of power, and micro-manipulation.

OK, I'll join the chorus too, then
 1. Why put Tuva in Section 3 - Soviet Sphere, when it was a part of the RSFSR, and therefore a component of the USSR itself :confused: 2. Some important sections that, IMHO, are missing from Section 3 - Soviet Sphere: --Afghan Paper Items --Chinese Paper Items --Chinese Uniforms --Czechoslovakian Award Groups --Czechoslovakian Titles (they do have Hero and Labor titles...) --Czechoslovakian Paper Items --Hungarian Award Groups --Korean Uniforms --Polish Paper Items --Polish Uniforms --Romanian Paper Items --Vietnamese Award Groups --Yugoslavian Titles --Yugoslavian Uniforms 3. Awards And Decorations Of Socialist Parties Of Non-Communist Nations: many nations have (or had) both communist and socialist/social-democratic parties. The terminology currently used for this section may lead to confusion as to what should/shouldn't be included. 4. Section 4 - Imperial Russian Sphere And Resulting Nations Currently, this section looks mostly like an arbitrarily designed, throw-all type of section. IMO, all the People's Republics should be put in Section 1, and not split along hard-set dates that end up artificially splitting one element over several sections (specifically, this applies to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Mongolia, and Ukraine).
