The Republic of Siberia is a country in Central and Northern Asia. It is the largest country to split from the Soviet Union. Siberia is close allies with Kazakhstan. Both economies are very similar and dominant through Central Asia.
Siberia borders with Kazakhstan, Russia, and Mongolia. Most of Northern Siberia is tundra and much of Southern Siberia is Taiga. 70% of the country's population lives in Southern Siberia while 30% lives in the more rural areas up north.
The territory of Siberia has been historically inhabited by nomadic tribes. Genghis Khan took control of Siberia in the 13th century. Following the eternal struggles of the conquerors, power reverted back to the nomads. In the 16th century, the Siberian Turkic became a distinct group. The Russians ruled most of Siberia in the 18th and 19th centuries. After the 1917 Russian Revolution many Siberian Turkic people rebelled against the new communist regime.
Siberia became a Soviet Socialist Republic in 1937. On August 23, 1990, Siberia became one of the first countries with Armenia to declare independence from the Soviet Union. The Republic of Siberia is populated by 150 ethnicities including the native Siberian Turkic which make up 70.6% of the population. Christianity is practiced by over 60% of the population while Islam and Buddhism also make up 40% of the nations practices. The Republic of Siberia allows freedom of religion and it shares the Tenge currency with its close ally Kazakhstan.
