Mongolia

Mongolia is a sparsely-populated country in Asia north of China. Historically, the region it occupies was home to confederations of nomadic peoples, among them the ancestors of both the Turks and the Mongols. It had a long history of conflict with China, conducting frequent raids and invasions against its much larger, heavily urbanized neighbour.
