Tuva, officially the Tuvan Republic (Tuvan: Тыва Республика, Tyva Respublika) is a sovereign state located in the center of Asia and borders Mongolia and Russia. With a small population and far from any major population centers and other countries, Tuva is one of the most isolated nations on Earth.
Tuva declared independence from China in 1911 and entered the Russian Empire's orbit. By 1921, Soviet officials had established a communist administration in Tuva and assisted in the formation of a Soviet satellite state, the Tuvan People's Republic. The Soviet Union ended poor ties and territorial issues with Mongolia, and Tuva backed the Soviet Union throughout World War II and the Cold War. in October 1944, Tuva united with Mongolia to form the Union of People's Republics with Manchuria, Uyghurstan, Tibet, and Kushinne. Tuva succed from the UPR in July 10, 1999 and form the Tuvan Republic
Since then, Tuva has developed and maintained democratic institutions while also maintaining neutrality abroad. Tuva retains close relations and protection agreements with Russia and Mongolia. Tuva is one of the few Tibetan Buddhist countries in the world and is one of only three Turkic countries to be rated "free" by American NGO Freedom House, the other one being Crimea and Cumania.
