Khanate of Aralia (1983: Doomsday)

The Khanate of Aralia is a khanate located in the area surrounding the Aral Sea.

Pre-Doomsday
The area around the Aral Sea was a desolate one, as people were leaving due to the lack of fertile land and because of receding waters of the sea.

Post-Doomsday
The area of the Khanate of Aralia was never hit by any missiles, but a little nuclear contamination arrived into the area, but because of favorable winds, there were no proven cases of fallout in the area. However, government in the area quickly collapsed, but local government from the cities of Aral and Mo'ynoq acted swiftly to maintain control.

Establishment
For a few months, the two city-states of Aral and Mo'ynoq cooperated and traded, using the most of the little resources they had. The king of Aral (Abdul Rahim) decided that the two cities would be much stronger if they were one, and that trade would not have to be international. As a result, Abdul Rahim asked Rammad Prasad, the king of Mo'ynoq to join him. Prasad refused. Angered, king Rahim organized a military force of about 8,000, demanding the city of Mo'ynoq to become part of the city-state of Aralia. Prasad responded to the threat, forming a military force of 5,000 to fight back. The two city's armies fought for 3 days, launching RPGs at one another. Luckily, only 17 civilians died from either side. However, Aralia had suffered 3,000 deaths. Under 100 Mo'ynoq soldiers survived.

After the war concluded, Abdul Rahim advanced into the city of Mo'ynoq, and made a speech to the citizens of the city, telling them that they were now part of the Khanate of Aralia, and that he, Abdul Rahim, was their Khan. He promised food and water to the citizens in exchange for hard work. The citizens were unsure of the new leader, but they knew they had no choice in the matter.

Expansion
During the months that followed the formation of the Khanate, little happened. The population grew slowly as people in the area moved towards the nation, knowing there was nothing else for hundreds of miles. However, population skyrocketed in the summer that followed.

In the summer of 1984, temperatures became extremely high. People stayed at home or in the sea, but many feared that they would starve or dehydrate. In fact, 10% of the population did. However, in the end of the summer, as temperatures began to come back to normal, the sea, for the first time ever, began to expand. The sources of the rivers feeding the Aral Sea were melting extremely fast, and as a result much more water came into the sea. By the end of 1984, the sea was back to the original levels it was at.

While the sea regrew, people from miles away were immigrating to the cities of the Khanate, desperate for water. As a result, populations reached near their current ones, at 1,000,000. The lands became fertile, and people thrived.

2010
In 2010, the Khanate, which completely surrounded the Aral Sea, met with another civilization for the first time since before doomsday. Scientists from Socialist Siberia met with the khan, and he was explained of what had happened to the world since doomsday. Later, he was informed that Siberian military would come over to take over the land of the khan, because he was on former Soviet Union, and hence part of Socialist Siberia. Abdul Rahim was enraged at the idea, saying that he was the rightful khan of his lands, and that no one was to take it from him.

After Soviet Siberian plans were exposed to the public, angered Aralians went into Soviet Siberia and captured scientists there, as to make it clear that the Khanate was not to be pushed around. As a result, Soviet Siberia announced plans to invade the Khanate, but Rahim responded saying that the kidnappers did not represent the Knanate.
