Ningsia or Ningxia officially the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Republic (Xiao'erjing: نِئٍ ثِیَا خُوِ زُو زِ جِ قْو حَ قُوَ) is an unrecognized country located in East Asia, whose form of government is an unitary semi-presidential republic. Most of the countries recognize it as an integral part of the People's Republic of China, of which it seccedeed in September 2043 after long months of a tremendous uprising.
History
Ningsia was a province of China located in the northwest of the country. It was originally known as Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, established as such in 1958 with a majority of Hui Chinese population. In 2043, a severe economic downturn and political instability led to widespread protests and unrest in the region.
2043 Uprising
On September 18, 2043, a series of coordinated attacks by armed protesters targeted government buildings and military installations throughout Ningsia. The uprising was led by a group of disgruntled former military officers and ethnic Hui activists. They demanded greater autonomy for Ningsia and an end to perceived discrimination against the Hui minority.
The uprising was met with a forceful response from the Chinese government. Thousands of People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops were deployed to the region, and martial law was declared. After a month of intense fighting, the government regained control of Ningsia, but not without significant loss of life and damage to the province's infrastructure.
Secession
In the aftermath of the uprising, the Ningsian leadership declared unilateral secession from China and established the independent micronation of Ningsia. The secession was not recognized by any international organization or government, including China.
Post-Secession
Ningsia faced numerous challenges in the years following secession. The region was economically isolated and politically unstable. A large number of Ningsians fled to neighboring countries, seeking refuge or opportunity.
Despite these difficulties, the Ningsian government worked to establish a functioning state apparatus and improve the lives of its citizens. They implemented economic reforms, introduced education and healthcare programs, and promoted cultural and ethnic unity.
Legacy
The September 2043 Ningsia Uprising and subsequent secession remain a significant event in Chinese history. It highlights the complexities of ethnic and political tensions in the country. The legacy of Ningsia serves as a reminder of the challenges and consequences of separatist movements and the importance of understanding and addressing the grievances of minority populations.
Geography and climate
Ningsia features a hot semi arid climate (Köppen: BSh). July and August are the rainiest months, and November through April it doesn't rain at all.
