Tibet

Flag of Tibet

**Tibet,** Officially, **The Kingdom of Tibet,** Is a country in East Asia claimed by all Chinese Cliques aside form Guangzhou. Tibet is a Theocratic Absolute Monarchy with the Dali Lama being the absolute Religious and temporal authority of the Tibetan realm. Tibet was hit particularly hard in the Yushu War when Sichuan and Ma both attacked Tibet and Tibet lost a lot of borderlands to the two forces. Tibet was proclaimed in the aftermath of the Xinhai Revolution as the Tibetan peoples used the opportunity to try and gain independence. This however has cropped up some issues with the Fengtian Government who still claims the region. Tibet did not involve itself in the Second Weltkrieg as it is currently more focused on preserving it and its neighbors independence than on global affairs. Tibet is aligning itself with the Guangzhou government and thus the Reichspakt witch has further isolated India's position as the true third world of the new Kalterkrieg.

## History

In 1936 Tibet was undergoing the regency underneath the 5th Reting Rinpoche as the Dali Lama had not been found yet. This left Tibet in a precarious situation especially when it came to its equally unstable neighbors with Nepal in particular being one of the more incident happy nations. This culminated the Sikkim Incident in witch TIP agents and its leader where found in Tibet causing situation in witch several timed the regent was nearly couped. But through some sheer dumb luck the correct decisions were made and Tibet was able to avoid becoming more unstable than it actually was with the Traditionalists keeping power. Albeit the exiling of the reformists into Nepal would later cause a war inside of that nation with Sikkim gaining independence. Tibet throughout the next few years would end up building up a lot of military fortifications witch would end up being a very smart decision as despite them being built for civil war they would become useful for something else. Tibet ended up having disputes with the Ma over the Yushu region and after it was discovered that the 14th Dali Lama was there the tension continued to build. This would culminate in the Yushu War in witch Tibet, With the help of Mongolia, would declare war on the Ma Clique. Tibet initially did quite well and was able to secure the Dali Lama but soon things would start to go wrong. Chamdao was claimed by the Sichuan Clique who would attack Tibet stating a regional scale conflict. And an intersting set of events would happen in witch Tibet would end up losing and surrendering to the Sichuan Clique at the same time the Ma Clique lost to Mongolian forces. The Ma would end up making a peace deal in witch Ma Biao was to become the regent for the Dali Lama but due to the Mongolian victory would be forced to give up the position once he came of age. This would end up being quite soon in 1940 but it gave the Ma clique a claim to the throne of Tibet witch may be its way into united the West of China, and maybe all of China. Tibet would end up after this conflict in quite the pickle. In much the same situation as its southern neighbors who were all threatened by the Indian government. Soon a mutual defensive pact was made between the Himalayan nations but Tibet is the only one with a significant natural barrier to Indian attack. But this also prevents Tibet from reinforcing their allies. Recently the governments of the Himalayas are looking towards the Guangzhou or Fengtian Governments for protection. But this may come too little too late. It seems that Tibet's future will be rocky and it remains to be seen if it can weather the storm ahead of it.

## Military

The Tibetan Military while small and considered weak is very professional and well made for the conditions it is in. Tibet only has an army witch is comprised of only a few divisions who are well trained to the point of bering able to defeat forces several times stronger than it. Combined with mountainous terrain this has made a deadly combination.
