Steppes

The Khaganate of all the Steppes, more commonly known as Turkmenistan, was a nation founded by Dzheykob/Sempiternus in Central Asia in 1256 ACS. This nation was a vassal to the Sunderlond, which the Steppes joined in 1284 ACS. This nation, known for being in the middle of a desert, has been the site of a rapid terraforming campaign which has revived the Aral Sea.

== History ==
Turkmenistan was founded in the year 1256 ACS. The plight of the Turkmens was very real. The first attempt to set up a nation was in Makhachkala in Dagestan, but was abandoned. After this, Semp settled on the Caspian Sea in Turkmenistan and immedeatly got to work setting up a home, which proved difficult due to the lack of dirt. Over the next couple of years, Turkmenistan rapidly began an insane bout of terraforming the sand into dirt, bringing Turkmenistan early wealth from the sand which was desperately needed across the globe. Eventually, the Turkmen Tower was completed, and from that new base of operations, Semp rapidly began to spread all over Central Asia, immedeatly finding an End Portal next to the Northern Aral Sea, and building a few settlements here and there. The next years proved to be challenging as to find what to do next, so Semp started to build highways and auto farms in order to create an economy, and he succeded, bringing first-worlder tech to the nation. 
During that time, Semp also began to spread his wings and make new acquaintances with countries across the border. The Turkoman-Cowzakh friendship Bridge was completed ca.1263, and connected Turkmenia to Miklagard. Semp also enlisted bored players help in terraforming the former Aral Sea to its glory, with the help of h1p0_. 
== Terraforming ==
The rapid rate of terrafroming in Turkmenia has exponetially grown over the 1260's.
== Wars ==
Despite trying their best to be a humble, peaceful nation, battles have happened in the country. One such battle was a key fight in the ca. 1261 Retard's War between Rome and Germany, where for 4 (minecraft) days, Neim and Mixed fought while Semp tried to terraform.
