Cherkessia

Cherkessian Confederacy
The Cherkessian Confederacy (Formally the Free Cherkessia Front, informally Cherkessia) is a de facto secessionist state in West Circassia which views the state as an Autonomous Republic. The status of Cherkessia has long been a central issue of Circassia–Rothiya relations, as the state was founded by Circassian nationalists calling for independence from Rothiya and the revocation of the Protectorate Compromise of 1862. The political ideology of the movement greatly varies, though during the beginning of the occupation of West Circassia the stated goals of the seperatist movement was only independence and a return of the previous Confederate Republic of Circassia. For this reason, historically Cherkessian nationalists have consisted of many various ideologies from different sides of the political spectrum, ranging from Muslim Theocrats to Collectivist Anti-Capitalists. The republic claims the entirety of the region known as the "Cherkessian homeland", a popular concept among seperatists which envelops all of Circassia as well as some lands within the Rothiyan Empire.
