Soviet Empire - Members of Comecon

These countries were the closest allies of the Soviet Union. They were members of the Comecon, a Soviet-led economic community. In addition, the ones located in Eastern Europe were also members of the Warsaw Pact. They were sometimes called the Eastern bloc in English.

Bulgaria
Cuba
Czechoslovakia
East Germany
Hungary
Mongolia
Poland
Romania
North Vietnam/Vietnam (after 1975)
Albania

North Korea was a Soviet ally, but always followed a highly isolationist foreign policy and therefore it did not join the Comecon or any other international organization of Communist states.
