    The Tuvans or Tuvinians (Tuvan: Тывалар, Tyvalar; Mongolian: Тува) are a Turkic ethnic group living in southern Siberia. They are historically known as one of the Uriankhai, from the Mongolian designation. The Tuvans' recent ethnic history is rooted in Mongol, Turkic, and Samoyedic groups of peoples.

    Tuvans have historically been cattle-herding nomads, tending to their herds of goats, sheep, camels, reindeer, cattle and yaks for the past thousands of years. They have traditionally lived in yurts covered by felt or chums covered with birch bark or hide that they relocate seasonally as they move to newer pastures. Traditionally, the Tuvans were divided into nine regions called khoshuun, namely the Tozhu, Salchak, Oyunnar, Khemchik, Khaasuut, Shalyk, Nibazy, Daavan & Choodu, and Beezi. The first four were ruled by Uriankhai Mongol princes, while the rest were administered by Borjigin Mongol princes.

    History

    Besides prehistoric rock-carvings to be found especially along the Yenisei banks, the first internationally important archaeological findings have been near Arzhan, in the north central Tuva. Here Scythian kurgan burials are being researched, revealing the earliest (7th, 6th century BC) and easternmost remains of these people who spread all the way to Europe. Their story and fantastic gold treasures can be appreciated in the National Museum in Kyzyl.

    Your Country Is Shit

    by: Defiance

    how the fuck can you have pride in a country
    how empty,ignorant and blind do you gotta be
    when you fly your filthy fucking flag
    your saluting n empty,wortless,useless farce
    yur saluting racism
    from the day the country started
    it's been a part of it
    and your saluting your own oppressor
    and if your that fucking stupid
    you deserve everything you get
    your country is shit
    your country is total shit and you're fat
    with pride as you as you swallow every bit of it
    i hope you go first in a war you've pay for
    and i hope you still love your country when
    your riddled with bullets in foreign country
    showerd with bombs and left for dead
    so fly their flag
    and keep swallowing their shit
    i'll never be proud or be supporting it
    and i hope one day you all get your chane
    as you die for freedom
    the power is still in their hands
    your country is shit
    and you're all fucking shitif your
    ignorant enough to believe it and support it
    i hope you go first in a war you pay for
    and think your protecting freedom when
    you're killig innocent women and children
    preserving capitalism
    for the ones that stay in power
    preserving your right to pay taxes
    dying for the right to be kept in line
    i hope that one day you all get your chance
    as your dying for freedom
