    The strangest states I’ve heard of all come out of the Russian Civil War; The North Caucasian Emirate, Green Ukraine, the Baltic Duchy, the Estonian Republic of Soldiers and Fortress Builders and, my favourite, The Free Territory. If you can find reliable sources, have a look at some of these, it was one of the wildest times in human history. Plenty of people did just what the Soviets had done and just proclaimed their own states after the autocracy ended and Liberal Republic fell, and tbh many of them could have been as successful as the Soviets as none of them have any guarantee of success.

    The Vandalic Kingdom in North Africa that formed during the migration period, while not exactly short-lived (survived for around 100 years), was certainly an interesting nation. A North African realm with a capital in Carthage, whose people primarily spoke a dialect of Latin, ruled over by a Germanic people. In another timeline, where they survived, I could imagine a North African romance nation arising that in many ways parallels a place like France (similarly formed from a Latin-speaking majority being conquered by a small minority of Germanic people)

    Marvellous! When I saw the notification I remembered that I've read something about it a few years ago. I can't believe that I completely forgot about it. BTW, Jaxa (or Jaksa in modern, standardised Polish spelling, that doesn't use x at all) is pronounced 'Yaxa'. It's an old, rarely used now Polish name (probably derived from Jacob) but also an alternative name of the Gryf (Gryphon) coat of arms. In Polish heraldry one coat of arms was usually used by many families and had its own name, often several alternative names. Sometimes nobles were adding the name of their coat of arms to their surname. Interestingly, the Wikipedia article about the state of Jaxa claims that according to some Chinese sources there was some old local name of the place were Albazino was built that sounded similar (yakesa). So the name might have a double meaning.

It used Greek as its official language (albeit in a bastardised form) but its ruling class was an unknown Indo-European ethnic group from China called the Yuezhi and their religion seems to have been a combination of Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism and Greek polytheism.

    Fantastic that you dug up this story. But what is your source for Albazin being named Jaxa and that it was some kind of independent? Is that from Dubiecki and is he providing any documentary evidence for that? According to the Russian archives Chernigovsky was refereed as prikazchik (regional administration representative) in Albazin and he was sending all collected yasak to Nerchinsk.

It was a sort of syncretic theocracy but wasn't able to establish stable government over all its territory. Its remnants died out during and after the Mexican revolution for various reasons.
