Report on the Mongol Siberian Khanate

Geography

The Mongol Siberian Khanate's territory is believed to include the former Soviet north of the line of the old Trans-Siberia railroad and east of the Yenisey River. The main capital of the khanate is believed to be in the area of Yakutsk.

History

The Mongol Siberian Khanate dates back to the early years of the Mongol Empire. It was the first quasi-independent khanate created, in 1994, when an ex-Soviet general who took the name Khadagh Bagatur overran the area around Yakutsk and was awarded the rule of the region. A series of successful campaigns over the next eight years drove the boundries of the new Khanate north to the Arctic ocean. In 2002, Khadagh Bagatur rebelled against the khakhan. He was decisively defeated at the Battle of Krestovaya. He was captured and impaled along with all his family soon after.

The khakhan appointed Tuyuideger, the commander of his victorious army as the new Khan of Siberia. Tuyuideger was killed in a battle with Siberian Yupik warriors near Anadyr in 2009. His son, Khaidu succeeded him. Khaidu completed the conquest of the Far Northeast of Siberia over the next few years. In 2019, he conquered the Russian People's Republic of Magadan, and was granted the title of Khaidu the Conqueror by the khakhan. In 2021, Khaidu launched an invasion of the Japanese controlled Kamchatka peninsula. Aided by the disunity caused by the Great Japanese Civil War, Khaidu advanced steadily down the peninsula, finally taking Petropavlosk, the last Japanese stronghold in 2024. He built a fleet of sailing ships using the lush forests of the region during the winter of 2024-25. When he tried to invade the Kurile Islands in the spring of 2025, the navy of the Northern Japanese emperor sank almost all of it, including the ship with Khaidu the Conqueror and his six sons. His brother Khalja succeeded him.

Khalja the Wily spent his reign building roads, suppressing bandits, and trying unify the vast and unruly territory he never expected to inherit. He died of natural causes in 2034 and was followed by his son Tokhuchar the Terrible, the current ruler.

Tokhuchar the Terrible used his fathers preparation for another wave of expansion aimed at the Japanese. In 2038 he won the Battle of Nagdagchi, driving the Japanese Army south of the Amur River. In 2041 he finished driving the Japanese out of the region north of the Amur River.

Diplomatic Situation The Mongol Siberian Khanate is at peace with the UKA and at war with Japan and Imperial China.

The Imperial Family

Khan Tokhuchar the Terrible is thirty-seven years old. He is known as a ruthess warrior and a merciless master. He has numerous wives and dozens of children. His First Wife, Gurbesu Naiman, a Buryiat Mongol woman, has been married to him for 19 years. His eldest son and heir, Torbi Tashi, is 16.

Military Situation

The Siberian Khanate is at war with Imperial Japan and Imperial China, though it does not share a border with the Chinese. Khan Tokhuchar the Terrible has made it well known that before he dies, he plans to add Japanese Manchukuo to his dominion, or turn it into another khanate as the khakhan wills it. Currently, he is engaged in an endless series of border raids with the Japanese garrison of Manchukuo.

Army Organization

The Siberian Khanate uses the same basic military organization of all the other Mongol states. The striking arm of the army is the horse cavalry, organized in 10,000 man units called Tumans, each subdivided into ten 1,000 man regiments. Most Tumans have several batteries of artillery, usually black powder, but increasingly more modern captured Japanese weapons. Current estimates give the Siberian Mongols 7 Tumans of cavalry, one Mongol Guard Keshik, one Siberian Cossack, one Uzbek, and four Mongol. The khan's foot Tumans, their numbers unknown, are subject levies, organized similarly, but are much inferior in equipment and morale. It is possible that the Siberian Khanate possesses some captured Japanese tanks and armored cars.

Military Equipment

Troops of the first regiment of the Mongol Keshik are armed with refurbished Soviet AKs, the others with a mixture of bolt action rifles of diverse provenance. The other cavalry Tumans are armed with about 50% bolt action rifles, mainly recently captured Roman 6.5mm Carcanos or Japanese 7.7mm Toyatas, and 50% with black powder carbines. All have Tumans one battery of 81mm Roman or Japanese mortars and two batteries of muzzle loading guns. All Caucasian Mongol Army horsemen carry bows, swords, and lances in addition to their regular arms. The subject levy infantry are armed with black powder smoothbore muskets of domestic manufacture.

Economy

The Siberian Khanate, having been created 1994, has an elaborate trade network with its neighboring khanates. It shares a long, but mountainous border with them however, and trade is expensive, difficult, and dangerous. Much use is made of Siberia's numerous rivers. Despite the long piece of Siberian Pacific coast owned by the khan, Japanese hostility and a lack of skilled sailors has discourages any international sea trade with Siberia.
