Altishahr (Cherry, Plum, and Chrysanthemum)

Altishahr (Uyghur: Алтишәһәр Altişähär), formally the Altishahri People's Republic (Uyghur: Алтишәһәр Хәлқ Җумһурийәт Altishäһär Khälq Jumhuriyät), is a landlocked country in East and Central Asia. It is bordered by the Soviet Union to the northwest, Mongolia to the northeast, China to the southeast, and Tibet to the south. The rugged Karakoram, Kunlun and Tian Shan mountain ranges occupy much of Altishahr's borders, as well as its western and southern regions. The most well-known route of the historical Silk Road ran through the territory from the east to its northwestern border. It is a constitutionally socialist state and ruled by the Altishahri Workers' People Party. Its capital and largest city is Kashgar.
