Mengjiang

Mengjiang, (蒙疆 in pinyin: Měngjiāng; in Wade-Giles: Meng-chiang; Postal Pinyin: Mengkiang), Meng Chiang, also known in English as Mongol Border Land, was a puppet state in northern China (consisted of Chahar and Suiyuan provinces) controlled by Japan. It's occasionally nicknamed Mengkukuo or Mongokuo, after Manchukuo, another Japanese puppet state in China.

• The ruler was Demchugdongrub.
• The capital was Guihua.
• Era name: Genghiskhan (commemorating Genghis Khan)

Although intended to harness Mongol nationalism to support Japanese aims, this goal was undercut by the fact that the Japanese drew the borders of Mengjiang to produce a state that was 80 percent Han Chinese.
