The Republic of Greater Patnos is a post-Doomsday Turkish survivor state in the southern area of the Eastern Turkish Wasteland.

Government

The Republic of Greater Patnos is a democratic republic based on the model of the pre-Doomsday Republic of Turkey.

International Relations

Greater Patnos has reached out to many states in the region and established diplomatic relations. They maintain relations across the Middle East and the Caucusus. They are allies with the Sultanate of Turkey and New Erzurum. They have on going disputes with Trabzon and the still unrecognized Republic of Kurdistan.

Transnational Issues

The Republic of Greater Patnos continues to have border conflicts with the Republic of Kurdistan, which is viewed as a rogue breakaway state. Patnos claims the entirety of the Turkish portion of Kurdistan and, as a result, continues to refuse to recognize the country.

Many northern areas of the Republic are also claimed by the Second Empire of Trabzon, with whom Patnos has a long standing rivalry and previously fought a war with in 1990s.
