Geography and Climate
Located on a peninsula just south of Lazodiria, the Khanate covers 2,328,564 square kilometers. These include plains, hills, and mountains, for the most part. The wettest and most fertile region is the province of Vaishalle, with the driest region being western and northern Aziv province, and parts of Vishnu province. The provinces of Selvik, Kalir, Plaav, Sen, Ram, and Polorad (Northeastern region) all get chilly in the winter, but the province of Montz is the only province that has regular snowfall. The highest mountain in the Khanate is in the Kailasam mountain range and bears the same name as the chain of mountains. The Kailasam mountains form a barrier between the western coast of Vishnu and the land, resulting in northern Vishnu being a cold, dry region whose main industries are manufacturing, mining, or logging. The remains of the Kailasam mountains almost stretches down into the southwestern tip of the Khanate, in Aziv. The climate here is dry and desert-like, albeit with more vegetation unique to the Aziv Desert. Despite grueling heat, there are many busy civilian and military ports on the Aziv coast, including Fort Tirusulam, one of the most powerful military bases in the Khanate and it’s colonies. Towards the southern coast and eastern part of Aziv, the climate gradually gets less dry and eventually blends into the moist and fertile Vaishalle region. The large province is known for its massive agricultural production, as well as it’s humid and damp climate. From Vaishalle, the lands get colder and harder to farm going north. Kalir, the northeast-most province, with a chilly climate that is mainly suitable for hunting, natural activities, and specialized trades.
History
--1900-1990-- In 1986, The Communist Bloc was in power over the lands of the Khanate. However, they were also fighting a shortage in funds and internal strife. A young captain in the local anti-communist militia of Selvik, Cyprus Khan, decided that it was the right time. Gathering his troops and some other units, about 50 militia troops stormed the Communist administration building in Selvik, killing all Communist personnel. Immediately, the Communist People’s Revolutionary Armed Forces sent over 3 companies, scouring Selvik for the hidden rebels. First shots were fired between Khan’s unit and PRAF troops. One of Khan’s troops was shot in the arm, and 6 PRAF troops were killed and 2 wounded. On December 6, 1986, PRAF troops stormed into a school and took 9 students hostage. They demanded that all rebels come out and lay down arms. At 4:14 P.M, Khan lead a covert operation of 20 men to the meeting site. They shot all the troops holding the children at once, and killed the rest. At one point, a PRAF troop attempted to sneak up on Khan, but a child attacked him. The PRAF troops turned and shot the child, and the child died of injuries the next day. After this horrific incident, the enraged Cossack populace began a nationalist rebellion against the ruling Communists. After planned successful assassinations of top PRAF Generals, the Meynetian occupiers agreed to recognize the Khanate’s independence and non-aggression for 15 years, in the presence of many international powers. Khan was almost unanimously elected by a people’s representative to be the de facto Supreme Leader, and he built the government and had it running by 1990. He later conducted various ancestral tests and found that he had ancestors from the Amritaya dynasty, and he founded the House of Khan, turning the Khanate into a monarchy.
