The Great Depression (2029-2040)

Part of the Cold timeline

The Great Depression started in 2029 when Robloxia started to make their first hydrogen bomb to win cold war against Redwood. Robloxia managed every factory using robots. Robloxia spent 1.9 billion ROBUX for the nuke and robots only made R$ 1099. It also affected countries that also used the ROBUX currency, such as FSOR. The Communist United suggested a unified currency called ₽. Robloxians start immigrating to other countries to protest and eventually get a job. It took eleven years to recover with help of TNI, The Robine, and the Communist United.
