Great Triad

The Great Triad (Mongolian: Aryy Gurval, Uyghur: Büyük Üchlük, Tibetan: Chen Gsum) commonly known by the Mongolian name Gurval (triad) was a union composed of three countries: Mongolia, Uyghuristan (Xinjiang) and Tibet. The Triad was created as a way for these states to maintain independence from the Vostok Union (later the Vostok Alliance). The Great Triad was the largest landlocked country in history, and relied on Afghanistan for access to the sea. The Triad built the massive Kush Railway through Afghanistan to transport goods from the coast to itself.
