Pokingadjikastan (Hloterb: Pôkingaadjikastaan) was formed in 2036 after the infamous 2024 Battle of the Three Borders, fought between Russia, China and Kazakhstan when the Pokingadjikastani ethnic minority pressured them for a country to call their own. After a five-year stalemate, terms were eventually negotiated, breaking an equal amount of land from Russia, China and Kazakhstan to create the new state of Pokingadjikastan.

However, the transition was not harmonious. The supposedly stable government was rocked when infiltrated by Pthaadjurh, who used various loopholes in new rushed laws to position himself as president and enforce his extremist views. The Pokingadjikastani army rebelled by forming a military coup, which surrounded the presidential palace with heavy artillery, cutting off food supplies. Nonetheless, Pthaddjurh managed to flee through an underground tunnel that he himself had built; only he ever knew of its existence. To this day, Pthaadjurh is believed to be in hiding.

Since the oppressive Dictator Pthaadjurh escaped the siege of rebel military forces, the nation of Pokingadjikastan became a lawless gangsters' paradise with rebels patrolling every street and menacing innocent bystanders. Before America could intervene, New Piscean Workers' Nation saw the chance it had been looking for. Though endeavering to maintain self-suffiency to retain its communist status, the manmade island of New Pisces - off the coast of southern France - did not have any of its own natural resources.
