Qalikhistan

The Republic of Qalihkistan is a small country in Central Asia, bordered by China, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. The people of Qalikhistan were originally a semi-nomadic group from the Northern Caucusus, who migrated East during the 600s-700s. The first formal Qalikh state was formed in 1027, when the semi-mythical king Ghebd united the 11 tribes that had been rivals for centuries.
