Union of People's Republics

Description

The Union of People's Republics (Ардын Бүгд Найрамдах Холбоот) in Mongolian is a state formed in 1944 by the union of the Mongolian People's Republic and the Tuvan People's Republic. The union was said to be accidental; Tannu-Tuva at that time planned to join the Soviet Union; however, a slip with communications had ended up in the desk of the Mongolian Premier Choibalsan, who berated the Tuvan Salchak Toka because he believed Tannu-Tuva will end up becoming a mere oblast of the Soviet Union instead of a Union Republic Toka had hoped. Instead, they agreed on a union called the Union of Altaic People's Republics. The state is officially called the UPR but unofficially, similar to the situation of the USSR when it was also called as Russia, it was still called Mongolia. Sometimes, the word Tartary is used, as the eventual territorial extent resembled that of what historians called as Chinese Tartary.

In 1945, the UPR annexed Inner Mongolia after the Soviet-led war against Japan. In 1946, in response to an incursion by the Kuomintang in Inner Mongolia, the UPR annexed Manchuria and created a third republic. The East Turkestan Revolutionary Republic requested joining the union, and another "accident of history" occurred, by pursuing KMT troops in Tibet and annexing the territory as the Tibetan People's Republic.

The origins of the Sino-Soviet split in late 1950s occurred when Mao Zedong spurned the UPR's attempts to join the latter, even though the mostly Mongolian leadership offered China the leading part of the union, even offering them the transfer of capital from Ulan Bataar to Beijing.

The Indians are wary of the UPR's attempts to annex Nepal and Bhutan. To this regard, the Indians annexed Sikkim in 1960 in response to border clashes between UPR and Indian troops.

The leadership of the UPR is traditionally held by Mongolians, although a Tuvan, an Uyghur, and a Tibetan did become the mostly-ceremonial president of the UPR.

The official languages of the UPR are Mongolian, Manchurian, Tuvan, Tibetan, and Uyghur. Chinese is extremely discouraged, especially in Manchuria, where the local PR government there have succeeded in "re-Manchurianization" of the country, meaning only Manchu and Mongolian are taught there. All of the republics have Cyrillic scripts.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, communist rule fell in the UPR, too. However, the Mongolian and Manchurian-dominated UPR Armed Forces had ensured that there would be no secession.

But alas, the UPR's leadership's attempts to annex the Central Asian states (rebuffed especially by the Kazakh and Uzbek leadership) proved to be futile, as well as its attempt to annex the DPRK in 1997 at the height of that country's famine proved to be the final straw for South Korea. The South Koreans, furious, attacked the former DPRK, by then called the Union People's Republic of Korea (and with Cyrillic script to boot) and despite the UPR's threat to use their nuclear arsenal, it ended in a rout of UPR forces by the ROK Army, including former units of the North Korean Army, in Wonsan. Boris Yeltsin's threat to have Russian troops invade the UPR, as well as those of Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan, have been the final nail on the coffin of the UPR. By 1999, each republic except Mongolia declared independence of the UPR, and the Mongolian leader by December 10, 1999, have declared the UPR dissolved. Uyghuristan and Tuva joined the CIS, Tibet the SAARC. Mongolia and Manchuria to this day have nuclear weapons and both refuse to give up their arsenal, fortunately for them, the former communists regimes in both countries are sacked in 2005 in Mongolia and 2006 in Manchuria.

Each country of the former UPR are now free to chart their own future, and have experienced economic growth. Manchuria, the industrial heartland of the former UPR, is the big winner, and seems to be the real inheritor of the UPR's former regional power status. Mongolia is second, buoyed by its exports of rare-earth minerals, with Tuva not far behind. Uyghuristan copied the oil policy of Kazakhstan. Tibet is content with tourism and agricultural products (though mining is also important) and perversely the country with most ties with the PRC.

The ETPR will take on Northern Aksai Chin, while the TPR will hold on to the southern part of the area. Just like in our Timeline.
