​History
Shamshir was formed after the disolving of the Imperial Empire of Bakhshistan in 1998 where the Empire cast a referendum for independence to different states of the Empire. Originally in 1998 Shamshir was just a Central Asian state but the 2001 Caspian Crisis when the Russian region of Dagestan rebelled to rejoin the Empire they instead joined Shamshir to cover both sides of the Caspian Sea. The same happened also in Crimea and Georgia but it was more peaceful and is know as the Yellow Revolution in 2005. Soon Shamshir stretched from China to the Black Sea. These land gained from the Empire in the Ottoman - Caucasian War ( 1789 - 1795) and the Turkic - Russo - Bakhshi War (1878 - 1882).
