Manghulia

## Map

Mongolia/Manghulia, officially the Khantum of Manghulia, is the nineteenth-largest country in the world and seventh-largest in Asia.

## History

Mongolia was once a major global power from 1206-1368 C.E, but was conquered and integrated into China for the remainder of its history. Its people refused to be assimilated, and the Chinese had difficulty forcing them to due to the environment of Mongolia. Thus, Mongolia retained much of its national identity.

### 20th Century

In 1911, the Bogd Khan freed Mongolia from the Qing Dynasty during its collapse. This independence didn't last long, as in Febuarary of 1921, a Russian man name Roman von Ungern-Sternberg took over the Mongolian government, and in August the Red Army took over, turning Mongolia into a Soviet puppet till 1990.

### 21st Century

Mongolia was expected to rapidly develop throughout the 21st Century, but instead the nation stagnated until 2051 when the Mongolian government began funding religious institutions as reparations for religious persecution during the 20th century. The Islamic and Tengriist population grew rapidly, and the ideas of "returning to tradition" became incredibly popular. With the help of another youth rebellion, the heir to Ghengis Khan, Nailaj Naebzadeh of House Manghut, was made the Khantum of Manghulia. The capital of Ullanbaatar was renamed to Khan-khot.

### The Lunar-Solar Terror

Early on in her regime, Khantum Nailaj I feared that religious conflicts would tear the nation apart. In response she formed the "Mending Commission", whose stated goal was to "build ties and unite the Islamic and Tengriist populations of Manghulia." 7 Muslim preachers and 6 Tengriist shamans came together to speak on how to keep the two faiths friendly with each other. Quickly, they came to their first conclusion that "Buddhism is the main enemy of a Traditionalist Mongolia." Following this, all 5,000 of the Buddhist monks in the nation were deported to the Chinese Empire, all 130 Buddhist temples and shrines were either destroyed or converted to mosques, and all Buddhist texts were confiscated. Next, all Christian churches were burnt, not by the commission but by unruly mobs in Khan-khot and other cities. Preachers, pastors, and bishops were executed by beheading in the street and Bibles were put with Buddhist texts in mass book burnings. The Khantum had had enough, declaring a lockdown on Khan-khot and enforcing a curfew. The terror ended with the execution of 8 commissioners and 5 being abandoned in the wilderness.

## Policies

### Technology

In 2052, all 25 of Manghulia's aircraft were decommissioned and sold for parts while the Commander of the Mongolian AF, Brigadier-General Ochir Enkhbayar, was dismissed, effectively dissolving the Manghulian AF. Following this, all but one airport in the nation were demolished leaving only Chinggis Khaan International Airport which was reduced to only one airstrip. Mongolia Airlines was then nationalized and all 6 of its airliners were sold to foreign companies in China, leaving only 2 Cessna T206Hs as all the aircraft in Manghulia. All cell towers in the country were torn down in a frenzy, and no new towers were permitted, making the internet completely vanish from Manghulia.

### Infrastructure

In mid-January of 2052, Turkey gave 6.8 billion USD to Manghulia to build 300 wells and miles of pipes to provide clean water to 730,000 people. This project also employed tens of thousands of Manghuls and finally calmed the intolerant protests and riots around the nation. A commission was founded to move the entire country to renewable energy by 2067.

## Millitary

33,450 men are members of the Manghulian Infantry. Every man who is enlisted in the infantry is equipped with a khaki uniform, hiking boots, a IIIA Police-Grade bulletproof vest, a 1300 Winchester Shotgun, and a Type 70 sidearm.

All 4,000 of the cavalry men, meanwhile, are given a slightly darker uniform, cap, AK-12, and Dao Sword. Commanders are given the same arsenal as those they command, but with a much more stylish uniform. The 50 men that are part of Special Unit 1 (SU1) are given a Marlin 1895 followed with the standard cavalry uniform. The 50 men in SU1 are assigned to train Tibetan Mastiffs for combat use, currently having seven.
