They are not a unifier and have no content as of the The Ruin update.

History

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union the Tatar people found themselves under the rule of the West Russian Revolutionary Front. Initially the two groups cooperated, but when the West Russian War started to turn sour for the Front, they attempted to extend their draft to the Tatars - and that proved to be too much.

Rallying around famed poet and resistance fighter Abdulla Aliş, the Tatars rose in revolt and successfully threw off Russian rule, becoming independent for the first time since the fall of the Khanate of Kazan in the 16th century. Now the Tatars are determined to protect their independence at all costs...

Luftwaffe Terror Bombing	With depressing regularity, Luftwaffe bombers from the airfields of Reichskommissariat Moskowien fly over the warlord states of western Russia, bombing everything they can see and affecting nearly every aspect of Russian life as a result. The only salvation comes in the form of the Free Aviators, who strive to intercept them at every opportunity. If not for them, the situation in Russia would be far more dire.

Free Tatars	Once the ruler of the steppes, the Tatars have seen better days. For centuries. we have been ground down under the Tsarist boot, bled by the Russian overlords to fight in their wars time and time again; up to this day. We, however; we cry out; enough. No longer will Tatar blood be spilled for any Russian warlord's ambition! We will preserve our newly-gained freedom by any means necessary.

Tatarstan is not a unifier and cannot reunite Russia as that is not their goal. Generally they will be conquered during the West Russian Smuta and will stay off the map for the rest of the campaign, but if Onega defeats the West Russian unifier and balkanizes West Russia, they will regain independence with Ibragim Mingazeyev as president under a National Liberal government.
