Central Asia

Central Asia is a region in the middle of the Asian continent. It sometimes refers to former Soviet Central Asia. Other times it includes western China, Afghanistan, Mongolia or portions of Iran. Russia, China and the UIR partitioned the vast region on the 2016 and 2017 period annexing the former nations of Central Asia as new provinces. The abundance of oil and gas in former Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan was one reason for Russia and Iran respectively invading the two nations. Iran invaded and annexed Turkmenistan less than a year before it became the core of the United Islamic Republic.
