'''Turan''' ([[wikipedia:Common Turkic languages|Common Turkic]]: {{lang|fa|{{Nastaliq|توران}}}} , ''Tūrân'', [[Hasani language|Hasani]]: ''Turan Yüje Devleti''), officially the '''Great Turan State''' (Common Turkic: {{lang|fa|{{Nastaliq|ﻭﻠﻮﻎ توران ألس}}}}, ''Uluğ Tūrân Ulus'') and commonly known domestically as the '''Uluğ Ulus''', is a self-declared and self-administered entity claiming [[wikipedia:Sovereignty|sovereignty]] under international law and ceremonial possession of various territorial claims located in [[wikipedia:Europe|Europe]] and [[wikipedia:Asia|Asia]]. Turan has been described as a [[w:Micronation|micronation]] or "new nation project" by external observers due to its lack of international recognition and the minimal control over the regions it holds territorial claims upon.

Turan's initial iteration was established as the ''Sublime State of Gurkaniye'' on 10 March 2022, following the re-organisation of the [[Sublime State of Hasanistan]] into the entity.<ref name="GurkaniyeEstablished">https://www.hasanistan.world/2022/03/hasanistan-transforms-into-sublime.html</ref> It was renamed to the ''Sublime State of Turan'' on 4 June 2022<ref name="TuranEstablished">https://www.hasanistan.world/2022/06/sublime-state-adopts-basic-law.html</ref> and later reformed into its current form on 3 March 2023.

Turan considers itself a continuation of both the [[wikipedia:Mongol Empire|Mongol Empire]], the [[wikipedia:Eastern Roman Empire|Eastern Roman Empire]] and, to a lesser extent, the [[wikipedia:Ottoman Empire|Ottoman Empire]], as well as claiming heritage from other [[wikipedia:16 Great Turkic Empires|Turkic dynasties]]. The state's primary purpose is preserving and continuing both the Turkic and Eastern Roman imperial traditions, resulting in many aspects of the socio-political discourse of Turan being influenced by them. It has been described as a culturally "Turco-Roman" entity.

[[w:Islam|Islam]] is the predominant religion of its citizenry and the state religion, having proclaimed itself as a [[wikipedia:Caliphate|caliphate]] with [[wikipedia:Sharia|Sharia]] as its legal system. The state promotes [[wikipedia:Hanafism|Hanafism]] as the [[wikipedia:Fiqh|predominant school of jurisprudence]] (''fiqh'') and [[wikipedia:Maturidism|Maturidism]] as the [[wikipedia:Aqidah|predominant school of theology]] (''aqidah''), while the [[wikipedia:Naqshbandi|Naqshbandi order]] is the state and royal [[wikipedia:Sufi order|Sufi path]].

==Etymology==
The toponym ''[[wikipedia:Turan|Turan]]'' is [[wikipedia:Iranic languages|Iranic]] in origin, believed to derive from the word ''târ'' (tura) meaning dark and applied as a derogative term against nomadic groups who lived north of the [[wikipedia:Iranian plateau|Iranian plateau]] and beyond the [[wikipedia:Oxus river|Oxus river]].<ref>https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/turan</ref> A tribe or nation called the Turanians are referenced in the [[wikipedia:Zoroastrianism|Zoroastrian]] [[wikipedia:Avesta|Avesta]] and are described as a neighbouring and rival group to the [[wikipedia:Aryans|Aryans]].<ref>https://m-hosseini.ir/zar/articles-1/42.htm</ref> During the [[wikipedia:Early Muslim conquests|early rise of Islam]], Muslim Arab scholars and historians identified Turan as the domains of the Turkic people.<ref>https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/central-asia-iv</ref>

The Turco-Mongol conqueror [[wikipedia:Timur|Timur]] used the title ''Sultan of Turan'' and used Turan as the official name of [[wikipedia:Timurid Empire|his state]],<ref>{{cite book |last1=Yazdi |first1=Sharaf al-Din |title=Zafarnama |date=2008 |publisher=San'at |location=Tashkent |page=254}}</ref> most notably evidenced in the [[wikipedia:Karsakpay inscription|Karsakpay inscription]] which had been carved on the orders of Timur (which includes the following sentence: ''"Sultan of Turan Timur-Bey went up with three hundred thousand troops for Islam on the Bulgarian Khan Toktamysh Khan"'').<ref name=silk>{{cite web |title=A mysterious stone of Timur |url=http://www.silkroads.org.cn/article-3163-1.html |publisher=Silk Roads World Heritage |access-date=2 October 2020 |date=2016}}</ref>

The toponym gained contemporary relevance in the 19th century, as Western linguists, anthropologists and [[wikipedia:Orientalism|Orientalists]] applied the name for theories about a common [[wikipedia:Ural-Altaic languages|Ural-Altaic language]] and [[wikipedia:Turanid race|Ural-Altaic race]]. After these Western academic ideas spread to regions with Uralic, Turkic or other populations considered "Turanid",, the descriptor was adopted by local nationalist movements in places such as [[wikipedia:Hungary|Hungary]], [[wikipedia:Japan|Japan]], the Ottoman Empire and areas under the control of the [[wikipedia:Russian Empire|Russian Empire]] causing the ideological development of [[wikipedia:Turanism|Turanism]].<ref>https://sciendo.com/pdf/10.2478/pce-2022-0010</ref>

The term ''Uluğ Ulus'' was the official name of the Mongol Empire.<ref name=philology>{{cite book|title= Introduction to Altaic Philology: Turkic, Mongolian, Manchu|year= 2010|page= 169|authors= Igor de Rachewiltz, Volker Rybatzki}}</ref>

==Government and politics==

===Administrative divisions===
The first-level administrative division of Turan is the ''Horde'', modelled on the [[wikipedia:Orda (organization)|ulus (hordes)]] of the Mongol Empire and the [[wikipedia:Wings of the Golden Horde|Golden Horde]]. Hordes are further subdivided into vilayets, and vilayets are divided into sanjaks. Sanjaks are composed of cities, towns and manors. Most administrative divisions are governed under a hereditary noble entitled by the Khagan, except cities which are governed by a Muhtar.
