Turan (Common Turkic: توران , Tūrân, Hasani: Turan Yüje Devleti), officially the Great Turan State (Common Turkic: ﻭﻠﻮﻎ توران ألس, Uluğ Tūrân Ulus) and commonly known domestically as the Uluğ Ulus, is a self-declared and self-administered entity claiming sovereignty under international law and ceremonial possession of various territorial claims located in Europe and Asia. Turan has been described as a 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. It was renamed to the Sublime State of Turan on 4 June 2022 and later reformed into its current form on 3 March 2023.

Turan considers itself a continuation of both the Mongol Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire and, to a lesser extent, the Ottoman Empire, as well as claiming heritage from other 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.

Islam is the predominant religion of its citizenry and the state religion, having proclaimed itself as a caliphate with Sharia as its legal system. The state promotes Hanafism as the predominant school of jurisprudence (fiqh) and Maturidism as the predominant school of theology (aqidah), while the Naqshbandi order is the state and royal Sufi path.

Etymology

The toponym Turan is 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 Iranian plateau and beyond the Oxus river. A tribe or nation called the Turanians are referenced in the Zoroastrian Avesta and are described as a neighbouring and rival group to the Aryans. During the early rise of Islam, Muslim Arab scholars and historians identified Turan as the domains of the Turkic people.

The Turco-Mongol conqueror Timur used the title Sultan of Turan and used Turan as the official name of his state, most notably evidenced in the 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").

The toponym gained contemporary relevance in the 19th century, as Western linguists, anthropologists and Orientalists applied the name for theories about a common Ural-Altaic language and 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 Hungary, Japan, the Ottoman Empire and areas under the control of the Russian Empire causing the ideological development of Turanism.

The term Uluğ Ulus was the official name of the Mongol Empire.

From 10 March to 4 June 2022, the state was known as Gurkaniye. This name was derived from the word Gurkani, a Persianised form of the Mongol word Kuragan, meaning "son-in-law" and was an honorific title bestowed on Timur in reference to his marriage to the Borjigin princess Saray Mulk Khanum.

Government and politics

Turan is a constitutional elective monarchy ruled by the Khagan as head of state. The Basic Law defines the framework and functions of government. Political authority held by subordinate government bodies are derived from the Khagan, and the Basic Law confirms the right of the Khagan to exercise vast legislative and executive power through decrees and edicts. The incumbent and inaugural Khagan is His Imperial Majesty Daniyal. The monarch also serves as the highest religious authority in the realm and possesses the title of Caliph.

There is no formal hereditary royal succession in the monarchy of Turan, rather the heir to the throne is nominated by the Monarch and requires approval by the Majlis. The Majlis cannot remove the position of the heir once approved, although it can be revoked by the Khagan at their privilege. If the reigning Khagan abdicated or became incapable to serve and no heir was approved by the Majlis, they must elect one from eligible candidates. Eligibility for the position of Khagan and their heir is restricted to those who are male, Muslim and proven Genghisid in lineage.

The head of government of Turan is the Grand Vizier (Sadr-ı Azam). The office is appointed by the Khagan and the holder can only serve for two consecutive years. They are formally responsible for overseeing the function of government, co-ordinating the activities of state secretaries and formulating policy in co-operation with the Khagan. The current Grand Vizier is Hasan Çakar.

Legislative power is granted by the Basic Law to the bicameral Qurultay, composed of two chambers: the Majlis and the House of Princes. The Majlis is the the highest legislative body in the state and has the power to pass acts of government and its members are the Khagan, the heir to the throne, the Grand Vizier and appointed representatives from the towns and cities of the realm. The House of Princes serves as an advisory body to the Khagan on the activities of the Majlis and other matters of national interest, with its members including the Khagan, the heir and citizens who possess proven Genghisid lineage.

Law

The Basic Law establishes that Turan shall be an Islamic state and shall be governed according to Sharia, which are derived from the Quran, Hadith and the understanding of the Hanafi madhab. Qadis are delegated jurisdiction over settling matters related to criminal, dietary and personal law (such as marriage, divorce, sexual crimes, the slaughtering of meat and theft). Certain religious minorities are granted legal autonomy to judge their communities according to their own religious laws under the Turanian millet system.

Non-religious laws derived from acts of government and royal decrees and edicts are under the jurisdiction of the government. Prosecution and punishment over violating these laws are performed by government officials or local nobles.

Millet system

The millet system serves as the framework through which the Turanian legal system is organised. Under the system, subjects are classified by religion and administered in certain matters according to their respective religious laws. Each millet is led by its own milletbashy. The Khagan is head of the Muslim millet as the Caliph and the milletbashys of other religious groups are under the authority of the Khagan.

The following millets exist within Turan:

• Islamic Millet
• Rum Millet for Christians
• Yahudi Millet for Jews
• Sabi'ani Millet for Sabians (identified as Mandaeans
• Majoosi Millet for Zoroastrians

Administrative divisions

The first-level administrative division of Turan is the Horde, modelled on the ulus (hordes) of the Mongol Empire and the 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.
