The government is based in the China region of the confederation in the capital city of Jinping *(Gin-ping)*: That city being one of three cities within the confederation, The other cities being named Gobinor *(G-O-bee-nor)* being based in the Gobi desert region, and Tingri-Nyima *(Ting-ri Nyi-ma)* based in Tibet also being the smallest town in the Confederation. The Confederation puts the government only slightly above the military, meanwhile the government focuses on mostly defensive policies and developmental policies for the nation. The government has absolute control over the nation with the nation also being a totalitarian state, there forth no other parties are legal within the nation- and most opposition is met with an Iron fist~ this policy is enforced by the *Yellow River delegations of 1959.* Overall the Confederation of the Steppes is a totalitarian Kleptocracy, which focuses on developing their state at a rapid pace and removing any political opponents with an iron fist.

## History :

The Great Steppe Confederation would come to formation as of result of The War of the Six Dynasties, this war would result from the leader Xiaohui Wang of The United Federation Of The North China Plains; as he dreamed of uniting the Six nations into one large democratic type nation to promote more peace in the area. Wang would begin by sending a request to his weakest neighbor *Guandong* to join the federation, as the alternative would be war. Guandong would accept Wang's proposal knowing that a war would mean defeat. This action evoked fear within the other nations in the region: this would cause two sides to form. The West Frontier~ consisting of the Kingdom Of Lhasa, and Mongolia, meanwhile Wang would convince The Autonomous Region of the Himalayas and The Kingdom of the Mekong River to join his war against the Western states; he did this to deal with the west since they posed a larger threat to his goals, his plan was to invade his temporary allies after the war in the west concluded. Together these states formed the The Chinese Coalition. The war was first fought by Wang sending his primary army to the Gobi desert and to the capital city of Mongolia (Gobinor) the Mongolian army preformed a new strategy knowing that direct fighting with Wang's forces would mean defeat, their strategy consisted of letting Wang's forces into the city then surrounding the city, unbeknownst to Wang, then burning the outer reaches of the city: this would cause the fire to reach to the heart of the city killing Wang's primary forces and without shedding a single drop of Mongolian blood. The strategy worked flawlessly as Wang's forces would enter the city without much fighting and thought of it as an easy victory, however as the army set in to stay the night in the city; The Mongolian army began the fire, within 20 minutes majority of Wang's army either burnt in the fire, died from smoke inhalation, or by being picked of as they tried to flee the city, the few that managed to escape were deeply wounded and no where near fighting condition. This battle would be known as the Gobi Massacre, and single handedly destroyed Wang's entire army. Wang would find out about this failure from one of the returning survivors this made Wang furious, in this fit of rage Wang sought to make the West suffer. He began by telling both of his allies to gather there entire armies, garrisons included. He then went to march on the capital city of The Kingdom of Lhasa, Nagari, this city was the largest in all of the six nations, and Wang sought to turn it to rubble. Wang's new extended force of primarily foreign operatives began the battle on September 28th, 1939. The city would begin being bombarded by cannon fire the same day, the Lhasaian forces positioned in the city were outnumbered and gunned causing them to retreat. The Lhasa government thought that this would also stop the bombardment on the city as everything of importance was located in the city and destruction of the city would mean the loss of everything Lhasa stood for. But, Wang didn't stop, he was still in extreme anger over the attack and destruction of his prior army. It had been two weeks since the start of the bombardment, and Wang had completely flattened the city, the attack had lost as practicality after the first two days as Wang had destroyed all spoils of war he could've gained, he also angered his allies as he had used almost all of their ammunition. But to the people of the Federation of The North Chinese Plains this was the greatest victory and payback the nation could have conducted, Wang would have his army rebuilt a day after the bombardment ended as the passion of the war had filled all the hearts of the people of the federation and many would join the military. Lhasa new that they were basically out of the war, as the were rapidly losing land and many military operatives were fleeing the country to avoid death, so in order to try and save any chance at victory Lhasa agreed to join Mongolia, creating the Federation of Mongolia. After this decision "虛假的戰爭" would begin a period of time where Wang's army was still being rebuilt, Wang's allies were rebuilding there ammunition's supply, and The Federation of Mongolia was preparing for a mas invasion. "虛假的戰爭" Would end on November 1st, 1941 with Wang and his allies pushing into Mongolia, planned to begin the largest land battle in the history of the Steppes. Mongolia had prepared their entire population for this war and were ready to fight Wang. On November 3rd, 1941 The Chinese Coalition and Mongolian forces began to shed blood, within a week the battle was over. The entirety of the Mongolian Federation's forces were killed, imprisoned, or fled the country; Mongolian leadership were also killed during the battle leaving the country to be annexed by Wang. The first The War of the Six Dynasties had concluded. The treaty of the Yellow river decided that The United Federation Of The North China Plains would receive all of the land spoils of war, while The Autonomous Region of the Himalayas and The Kingdom of the Mekong River would receive all monetary gains from the war. This was completely unfair to The Autonomous Region of the Himalayas and The Kingdom of the Mekong River, but it still was passed as the speaker of the treaty was paid of by Wang's special intelligence unit and the delegates for the nations were all chosen by Wang personally. This outraged Wang's allies and unbeknownst to him, they would begin preparing for war. On January 16th, 1942 both of Wang's formal allies began besieging Wang's capital city of Jinping, Wang not wanting his homeland to be destroyed prepared to sue for peace. But, within the Democratic Party of The United Federation Of The North China Plains (DUFNCP) many would see peace as the worse possible option as it would mean an end to democracy within Asia. This realization caused many to begin to support a man named Altan Нугас, this man was the leader of natural resources at the time, but his beliefs were much broader than Wang's. In a week Wang's popularity was one tenth that of Altan's, but a problem still emerged in the party. This is because Wang's process for peace was only going to take 9 days, meanwhile the next election within the part wasn't until another 3 months. A conspiracy to assonate Wang would form within the party in order to take Wang out of power and keep the federation in the war. It would be two days before Wang's peace suit would succeed when Wang would be locked within a building in Gobinor, following the building would be set a blaze, killing Wang and the possibility of peace. After Wang's assignation a new election would be held in the party the same day, the elections results are shown~

After this election Altan would gather all the available fighters in the federation as he planned for something never seen in the regions military tactics, that being a naval invasion. Altan planned that the Federation's former allies would attempt a mass invasion of Jinping soon. But, if Altan were to be behind enemy lines when this attack occurs the Federation could encircle their entire army's and force them into peace. Altan would execute this idea after some extensive training in his "Нойтон хөл" training program. The date was February 2nd, 1942 scouts for the Federation began reporting that men were beginning to form formations, and the bombardment was preparing for a stop. Altan knew this was their only chance to turn the tide of the war. Altan's forces would leave the port an hour after receiving the news from his scouts, the naval forces would dock on the Japanese island of Kyushu until The Autonomous Region of the Himalayas and The Kingdom of the Mekong River forces were in place. It would be another hour until it was time, immediately Altan's forces would begin arriving on the shores of the Mekong Kingdom, the unknowing enemy forces continued their invasion, by the time their forces realized what had happened it was already to late, with the entire conglomerate army of both The Autonomous Region of the Himalayas and The Kingdom of the Mekong River encircled and ready to surrender. It left the Federation's enemy's with only one choice, that being to surrender. In the *Treaty of the Gobi* both The Autonomous Region of the Himalayas and The Kingdom of the Mekong River were to hand over all of their land to the Federation and accept annexation, then both of the states leaders were to be exiled to South America. The treaty was accepted and The Second War of the Six Dynasties was officially over. Altan now had complete democratic power over all of the Steppes and China. Except he wasn't satisfied, in a brief period of time Altan promoted and executed what he called "The Protection Plans" or~ "保障計劃". These plans consisted of in short changing the government from an isolationist democracy to a regional power capable of controlling mainland Asia operating under a monarchy. He convinced the democratic party to accepting these plans as he framed it as~ giving these plans would give the country more power to accelerate the rebuilding process, and the powers are a privilege so as soon as the rebuilding process is over they can be taken away. This idea satisfied 89% of the Democratic voting seats~ there forth the plans were put into action. Altan knew that he would only have a week to make the plans irreversible as the reasoning he made up was a lie, and he knew the party would want to see progress after the first week and if none were to be seen, the "privilege" would be revoked. In this week Altan put 75% of the national budget into a loyal private army which he named "The Emperor's Shaanxi Guard" (ESG) he mostly kept it hidden from the party but he answered to the party when some spotted the ESG in Mongolia by stating that the force was a small force meant for fighting dissidence in the newly annexed provinces~ the party bought it. Once it had reached the end of the week as expected the party met in Jinping to discuss the changes, unbeknownst to the party, the ESG were beginning Altan's plan. It started with ESG forces destroying the Federation's army bases and fighting short skirmishes with the army, of which the ESG won many, as Altan had completely defunded the army during the week. Then ESG forces began arriving in Jinping, Gobinor, and the ~new~ (still being rebuilt) Tingri-Nyima, previously Nagari. Finally ESG forces began unfurling the flags of the new Great Steppe Confederation, they would also begin announcing the new government to the people and releasing the new laws and regulations within papers and over voice. Meanwhile Altan was giving a speech to the party saying how the government was weak and the power Altan now had was the only way to save the state, he also announced the new laws and name to the party. 12% of the party supported these new changes, Altan knew that this was a possibility, so he simply told anybody who disagreed with him to walk outside as they ". . . were going to have a formal vote on it tomorrow . . . ". The angered Party members left the parliament building and were met with bloodshed. As Altan knew many were going to disagree with the changes so he thought the best way to deal with the problem was to remove it, he did this by preparing the ESG to kill anyone who left the Parliament building before him, within 5 minutes 88 members of the party were dead. This event would come to be known as The Stairwell Massacre as so many would die on the stairwell out of parliament the stairs were no longer visible~ this event would be highly censored within the Confederation, punishable by death to speak of. As the massacre ensued the remaining members who agreed with Altan, agreed to make Altan total emperor, as well as to dissolve any other political party in the country, then to ban the creation of them. In the same meeting the Party was renamed to The Imperial Steppe Party. Fast forward to 1959 and Altan is on his death bed, and the delegations made after the Stairwell massacre were now expiring. Altan's final words were to his son Dück Нугас which said, "Continue the dynasty, crush opposition, rebuild what was destroyed, if you do that all then~ and only then can you truly rule. . .". After his father's death Dück would reinstate the jurisdiction placed by his father, and work to continue the dynasty to this day.
