Gurkaniyan, officially the Emirate of Gurkaniyan (Persian: Amart Gurkaniyan; Uzbek: Gurkaniyan Amirligi) and commonly known by the endonym Turan, is a sovereign state in Central Asia, in a personal union with the Mongol Uls. Coming into existence with the fall of the Soviet Union, the Emirate was conceived as a continuation of the ancient Timurid Empire, under the rule of one of Timur's (supposed) descendents, Aurangzeb III. The Emirate is ruled as a constitutional monarchy under Sharia law; legislation, drawing on Sharia, is passed by the Majlis ash-Shura, which also elects the Khalifa (who holds the dual title of Chancellor) for a four-year term.

The Emirate's terrain is mountainous and cold, but far more densely populated than the rest of the Mongol Uls, possessing a negligible percentage of its area but more than 40% of its population. It boasts higher economic markers, including average income and GDP per capita, than the rest of the Khanate, but its human rights record is relatively poor, and political freedoms for women and youth are lacking. It is a member of the Turkic Union, of which it holds the Presidency.
