Country Name: Khanate of Tatarstan
Country Color: Scarlet
Type of Government: Confederation
History: Following the downfall of the Soviet Union, most of the oblasts, Soviet Socialist Republics and Autonomous SSRs became independent states in their own right. Eventually, under the leadership of Aynur Khan, the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic managed to subjugate nearby oblasts and republics, forming a new political bloc near the heart of old Russia called Tatarstan: the land of the Tatars.

Aynur Khan has ordered the formation of the National Tatarstani Militia, an volunteer organization dedicated to the defence of the Khanate. Although only being 5000 strong at the moment, the Khanate's military scientists one day hope that the NTM will be the basis of a full standing army.

In the meantime, emissiaries have managed to bring two neighbouring countries, the Stalingrad Collective and the Emirate of Astrakhan, under the Tatar wing. Thanks recent aquisitions, Tatarstan now has access to the shipping lanes of the Caspian Sea. The locals have mentioned rumours of another monarchy, this time centred on Crimea and southern Ukraine. Only time will tell whether this country will be friendly or hostile.

UPDATE 1: 1950-1955

The Chaos was over. Nations had formed, and in these five years, they asserted their independence. Thus far, there seemed to be 13 major nations, ranging from loose unions to strict caste systems.

Every nation, with the exception of the Indus Valley Republic, expanded. They now had ten provinces each. But this was only the beginning of this new era.

Each nation had spent it's money on different things. Some nations invested in trade; others sought an improved military, while others began raising sails and setting to the sea.

Otherwise, not much of interest happened, though there seem to be some tensions in the Germanic region.

"5 o/o 10" means that you have 5 invested in that tech, while it costs 10 to research the next level.


You may notice that there are suddenly many badly-drawn lines on the map, surrounding islands. This is to divide islands up into manageable provinces. There are three main types of island groups: archipelago, single island, and connected.

Connected islands are ones whose black lines connect to a land province's. Easy examples to spot are the islands of Scotland and Long Island. These are part of the province they are connected to and exist only to make the map pretty. No effect on gameplay.

Single islands are relatively large or important islands that may or may not have a black circle around them. Examples include Corsica, Tasmania, and Hong Kong. These are simple one-province islands that are otherwise identical to regular provinces. They can only be invaded by a naval invasion, nothing else.

Archipelagos are a bunch of islands in one circle. Examples include the Bahamas and the Azores. These islands are all one province. Once again, they can only be invaded navally. If the province is invaded, all islands fall at once.

All circles were pretty much completely arbitrary and made up as I saw fit. If you have questions about them or suggestions to improve them, feel free to tell me.

Three days seemed to be good, so next orders are due by July 1, 6:00 PM Central U.S. Time.

Khanate of Tatarstan
Татарстан Xанлыгы

Unlike the last pentad, the period of expansion starting 1375 AH (1956) was a westward drive, the main 'goal' being to reclaim the former heartland of Russia. The goal was largely successful: although not quite reaching Moscow, the Khanate's borders have expanded to the point that the city is a mere 100 km away. In addition, thanks to the recent acquisition of Azov, contact has been made with the rumoured country in the south: the Czardom of Crimea. Several emissaries, under the leadership of Ismail Petrov, have been sent to Sevastopol to open formal relations with the country.

Crimea wishes to co-operate with the mighty Tatars.
We hope to have a long diplomatic connection with your glorious nation.

The Czar, Ivan the First, had had a long and glorious reign. He had driven back the Kievans, beginning a rise to power for the Crimeans. He had advocated trade like no ruler before him. He had also welcomed the ambassador of the Tatars, Ismail Petrov, to his new-built capital city of Nova Sevastopol'. The Tatar ambassador had looked on in what Prince Yaroslav assumed was despair as the King fell to the ground. Even as he welcomed in the new nation's ruler, he had fallen victim to a heart attack.

But the nation had to move on. The new Czar, Yaroslav II, had negotiated a treaty with the Tatars, and had suggested the possibility of trade in the future.

And now... the army of Crimea looked to the south. The Black Sea's coasts were rich with resources, and the Sea of Marmara was an important strategic point...

The new Czar sighed. Life was hard in the Crimea. Especially when you ruled it.

Finish the current Sailing tech, and invest the rest of the MP for this turn in building armies (for defense).

The Tatars can expect a Trade offer as soon as it is possible.
