New Midriskott is one of the newest nations in Afghanistan. The country is relatively small, but got a formidable economy and military.
History
In the IXth century mansi and khanty peoples moved from the Ural mountains to Afghanistan. These nomadic peoples looked for new meadows. The mansis and the khantys later joined their forces under the leadership of Grand Chief Toknum. Toknum led the now unified people to the southern parts of Afghanistan. The nomadic people settled here. The were already a small population of different afghan peoples there, who introduced the newcomers with the islam and various inventions of the arabic civilization. Toknum and his people took up the islam and he became the Khan of Midriskott.
Nobody knows the origin of the Midriskott name. Toknum later founded his nem capital and named it Kandahar. For the next 400 years Midriskott developed peacefully. New cities were founded, midriskottians took part in trade with the east and the west, the economy started to grow.
In 1219 however the Mongols devestated Midriskott. They established the Ilkhanat and later Tamerlane extended the mongolian ruel. In 1504 the Mughals conquered Midriskott and placed a governor in Kandahar. By the early 1700s, Midriskott was controlled by several ruling groups: Mansis to the north, Khantys to the west and the remaining larger area by the Mughals or self-ruled by local Afghan tribes.
In 1709 Khan Bazd of the Mansis killed the Mughal governor of Kandahar and- after long fighting-he united the tribes of Modrikott again in 1711.
In 1839 the British forces invade Midriskott becouse Khan Tüktük took over a leadership from the British favored Khan Mumed. After small fightings the British placed Mumed back to power But in 1841 the people rose against the British in Kandahar, killing two British agents and surrounding the British garrison. In early 1842 the garrison surrendered, and was offered safe conduct to return to India. The departing British contingent numbered around 14–16,000, of whom over 10,000 were civilian camp followers; the military force consisted mostly of Indian units and one British battalion, the 44th. However, the evacuees were harassed down the Kandahar River gorge and massacred. Khan Tüktük returned and decleared himself the Shah of Midriskott.
Tüktük decide to modernize his country, so he invited Prussian and Austrian advisors. With a strong and modernized army the shah opened diplomatic relations with Britain again. In 1878 Shah Temir al Muzuk met with Russian envoys but refused to receive the British envoys. In response Britain decleared war on Midriskott. They defeated the Midriskottian army and received some territory in the Treaty of Kanadahar in 1880, but they now feared they were heading for the same disasters that befell their predecessors at the time of the First Anglo-Midriskottian War. In September 1881 they pulled out. Midriskott was now under light British rule.
In 1919 Shah Zaltaz decleared independence. Becouse the Russian Civil War the British moved troops in the region but eventualy they recognised the independence of Midriskott in 1921. The long peacefull period ended in 1985 when Khan Riszk took power in a bloodless coup. The Soviet Union and the USA both tried to intervere but they failed.
At this time many nomadic peoples started to move through Afghanistan. They started to devestate the region. The army of Midriskott could not stop them. In 2006 the communists lead by Ahmad lead a coup against the government. Eventualy the whole country was devestated.
In 2007 the Republic of New Midriskott was formed.

Culture
The culture is a mixture of the Arab-Islamic culture and the Uralic culture. Since most of the people is Uralic of origin, the ancient Manshi and Khanty culture is still living. The ancient uralic poetry is important in the life of the Misdriskottians. The architecture is however Arabic, becouse the nomadic Manshis and Khantys didn't have permanent buildings.
