Qostanai

The Qostanai Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, commonly known as Qostanai, is a state in Central Asia. It is bordered by the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic to the south, Nowa Polska in the east, and the West Russian Revolutionary Front to the north and west.
The nation is led by Volga Germans who had been forcibly moved from their historic homeland in Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Unlike their neighbour, Nowa Polska, the nation wasn't a nationalistic nation and instead was an attempt to protect the rights of Volga Germans while also trying to show loyalty to Communism.
=== History ===
==== German-Soviet War ====
During the German-Soviet War, Premier Stalin deported the overwhelming majority of Volga Germans, whom he feared could become fifth columnists for the encroaching Germanic forces, to northern Kazakhstan - centred around the Kostanay Oblast. Many of those forced out of their historic homeland suffered during the movement, with a substantial number dying either during the move, or after being forced into labour camps.
As the front against the Germans began to collapse, and the Soviet Union descended into chaos, the many ethnicities of the nation began to unify to protect themselves against exterior dangers. For the Volga Germans, this was effectively every other group as they were inevitably associated with the invaders. They coalesced in the Kostanay Oblast, fleeing from other regions of Central Siberia and Kazakhstan.
Nikolai Gagen, a Baltic German and Lieutenant General in the Red Army, retreated from the frontline and ended up fleeing internal reprisals taking place to punish those who were deemed to have caused the failures during the war. He arrived in Kostanay and quickly took the lead in governing the region's Germans.
