The political system was dominated by the ever present official system titled "Uksura faššar seme hūwajaha", which roughly translated into "breaking the races apart into many pieces". Often shortened to Uksura, it was a system of racial segegration and what many contest, racial discrimination that separated Altaic high society from Asian society in all aspects of life. Often compared to Apartheid, the comparison was not necessarily correct simply because Uksura was meant to do far more. The Uksura system was highly criticized internationally for the way it highly curtailed the rights of the Asian citizens by revoking the right to own property, bear arms, freedom of speech, ability to form organizations and unions, equality before the law, right to privacy, right to a fair trial, ability to vote, right to emigrate, and ability to partake in education. The last Uksura law was a law banning Oriental subjects from having more than one child in contrast to Altaic families which usually have six to twelve children which.

History of Tartarystan

Tartarystan, or The Most Serene and Holy Altaic Empire of Tartarystan, is a constitutional elective monarchy nestled in the great tracts of land that are similar to what we call northern and central Asia or the territory generally described as Tartary (Siberia, Turkestan, Mongolia, Manchuria, etc).

Tartarystan was formed when the Kingdom of Altaystan and the Kingdom of Tungustan agreed to a state union. Altaystan was a Turkic city that proclaimed itself a Kingdom after it colonized/conquered the surrounding oriental land. Tungustan was the same, except it was Tungusic. They nominated a Turko-Tungusic emperor to head the new state union.

More recently, Sibeoci Sereri was shoved into the throne after a coup by Alute Sereri, his sister, left him the only surviving possible successor. The new Sibeoci-headed government passed great deals of recent legislation known as the "Sibeoci Decrees".

What has been named "Altaic" high class dominated this society. Tatarystan was a primarily militarist and agrarian nations with the aristocracy and extremely prolific military drawing its members from Altaic high class. The Asian population was effectively synonymous with the peasantry.

The political system was dominated by the ever present official system titled "Uksura faššar seme hūwajaha", which roughly translated into "breaking the races apart into many pieces". Often shortened to Uksura, it was a system of racial segegration and what many contest, racial discrimination that separated Altaic high society from Asian society in all aspects of life. Often compared to Apartheid, the comparison was not necessarily correct simply because Uksura was meant to do far more. The Uksura system was highly criticized internationally for the way it highly curtailed the rights of the Asian citizens by revoking the right to own property, bear arms, freedom of speech, ability to form organizations and unions, equality before the law, right to privacy, right to a fair trial, ability to vote, right to emigrate, and ability to partake in education. The last Uksura law was a law banning Oriental subjects from having more than one child in contrast to Altaic families which usually have six to twelve children which.

Tartarystan was torn apart by the "Great Rebellion of Tartarystan".

After the rebellion, Uksura no longer existed simply because Tartarystan had become an racially homogeneous state. Its minorities were mostly eliminated, both violently and peacefully. After the rebellion, Tartarystan quickly modernized into a nationstate. Tartarystan has become an industrial powerhouse with highly urbanized, efficient, and modern planned cities with efficient commerce, industry, and agriculture in its country.

Culture of Tartarystan

The Holy Empire of Tartarystan is an oddity in this world. Despite having a vastly majority East Asian population, the state is dominated by two primary groups, the Tungusic and the Turkic groups.

Tartarystan shows great tolerance toward its Muslim and Jewish minorities. Although minor incentives to convert have slowly decreased the number of Muslims and Jews over time.

Almost all Christians in Altaic society are members of the Church of Tartarystan. The Church of Tartarystan is a theologically Unitarian Christian church and is generally associated very closely with Imperial authority. In contrast to many other Unitarian churches, the Church of Tartarystan is extremely focused on religion (Christianity) and does not accept non-religious members and non-Christian members as it officially defines itself as a Christian church. The Church of Tartarystan has both Catholic and Protestant influences but it is at its core, completely Christian. Tartarystan is a very religious and some even say, fanatical nation. Separation of church and state currently does not exist.

Geography of Tartarystan

Tartarystan is one of two nations on the continent of Tartarystan. Tartarystan the continent is an extremely large but isolated island continent comparable to Australia in that sense. However, it has a vastly different climate. Its climate takes more after the Taiga and Steppes of Siberia and Manchuria, with a tiny bit of tundra in the North. It possess extensive resources such as coal, oil, iron, rare minerals, timber, and natural gas. Nickel, gold, lead, molybdenum, diamonds, silver, zinc, precious gems, and many others are easily found in Tartarystan. However, it is sorely lacking in fertile soil with most of Tartarystan being extremely soil poor. Tartarystan is extremely dependent on fishing to provide itself with food. Tartarystan is also highly dependent on a strip of very fertile land just above the urban Southern coast. Though just a very small strip, this strip is extremely fertile and combined with ultra high-yield farming, gives enough food combined with massive fishing to feed Tartarystan. There is an almost inexhaustible supply of timber and fish in Tartarystan. Fish is the staple food of the vast majority of citizens in Tartarystan. The southern, south-eastern, and south-western coasts are lined with what will become cities. The almost uninhabitable north is dominated by heavy industry and resource exploitation.
