Altai is, and has been for centuries, ruled by an elected Great Khan. Traditionally the khan is supposed to be descended from Genghis Khan, the first man to unite all the tribes of the steppes, but since he lived over 800 years ago his descendants are believed to include almost the entire population of Asia. As a result it's been accepted practice for several generations to overlook that particular criterion, and today any person of good standing is permitted to stand for election upon the death of the old khan.

abstract
  • Altai is, and has been for centuries, ruled by an elected Great Khan. Traditionally the khan is supposed to be descended from Genghis Khan, the first man to unite all the tribes of the steppes, but since he lived over 800 years ago his descendants are believed to include almost the entire population of Asia. As a result it's been accepted practice for several generations to overlook that particular criterion, and today any person of good standing is permitted to stand for election upon the death of the old khan. Altai has four constituent khaganates - Siberia, Turkestan, Mongolia and Tunguska - each of which is sovereign in its own right, and each khaganate is the home of dozens of tribes and sub-khanates. These days the main purpose of the confederation is to coordinate a common foreign policy and defensive strategy, but in times of crisis the Great Khan is permitted to take personal control of all the tribes and lead them as one against the enemy. The last time this happened was in 1965, towards the end of the Third World War.
