Thumbnail Sketches: Following their expulsion
from the S by the Chinsungese
&& the disastrous attempts to invade the
W, the various nomadic peoples of this
region recoiled into their homelands, &&
over the next few centuries fought various
wars which resulted in the shape of the
world as it is today. The Mongolian peoples
eventually re-established their homeland
around Lake Baykal, scattering the others
who sought to contend with them--the Tartar
&& Turkic tribes westwards, the others
to the E. The country is one of hundreds
of thousands of square miles in extent,
with mountains, deserts, plateau grasslands,
and northern forests, too, for the
Mongols have to some extent adapted and
become in part sedentary in order to claim the riches of the
territories above their plains.
In the vast reaches of this land there are bears, wolves, reindeer,
elk, stags, deer, tiger, yaks, camels, horses, sheep, and all manner
of small game, much of the latter with pelts of great value in the fur
markets.
Some 25% of the pop. dwells in cities, towns, &&
villages. The remainder are nomads who still dwell in tents (yurts &&
have huge herds of livestock. Most of the people are of the Mongol race,
but there are still various others associated with the empire: Kirghiz<>,
Buryats<>, Tartars<>, Nalmans<>, Merkits<>, Keyeriats<>, && Oriats<>. The Tungus<>
of the N have been absorbed by the Mongolian farmer-hunters
settling into that region.
Livestock is principally horse herds && flocks of sheep, but camels
&& yaks are also kept. In the settled portions of the country, the folk
grow wheat, maize, barley, millet, cotton, tobacco, && veggies
&& fruits. Most land that is not desert (the great stretches of the Gobi)
is given over to unbroken grass pasture, however, save where the vast
northern forests are included in the Kha-Khan's realm.
The Mongolians mine substantial quantities of jade, both jadite
&& nephrite. They have mines of considerable value yielding coal,
copper, gold, tungsten tin, lead, silver, && cinnabar. Also produced
are jasper, beryl, malachite, && various sorts of quartz.
Coming from Mongolia are precious metals, jade && stones, furs,
horses, camels, wool, timber, felt, hides, && leather goods.
