Russia
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
Russia is a former nation-state on Earth, which spanned a large area of Europe and Asia. Along with the United States of America, it bordered directly against the International Date Line.
In 1917, the ruler of the country, the Tsar, was overthrown and replaced by a communist government under Vladimir Lenin. Communism in the country lasted until the 1990s when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics collapsed and was replaced by a democratic government. (VOY: "Future's End, Part II")
Pavel Chekov was born in Russia in 2245. Irina Galliulin, with whom Chekov was romantically involved, was also of Russian descent. In early 2375, Worf and Miles O'Brien talked about Worf's childhood in Russia. (DS9: "Image in the Sand")
In an alternate timeline, Vladimir Lenin was murdered in 1916. As a result, the Communist revolution never took place. The Nazi invasion of the country in World War II was more successful than in the original timeline, succeeding in reaching and overrunning Moscow. Following the Nazi invasion of America and rapid advancement of forces deep into American territory, many felt that the Germans were advancing too far too quickly, which would lead to many setbacks in other German campaigns including the Russians' attempts to retake Moscow.
