# '''Autonomous National Republics (ANRs)''': ANRs are semi-autonomous nationalist republics modeled after the Russian National Republic. ANRs were not sovereign and independent nations, and therefore had no international representation and recognition, and was instead part of the Russian National Republic. Examples of ANRs are Circassia and Transcaucasia.
# '''Sister Republics (SRs)''': Sister republics were nominally independent and sovereign states. They had their own government modeled after the Russian National Republic. However, unlike ANRs, they were not politically bound to the Russian National Republic. Most of the SRs created maintained close economic, military, and diplomatic ties with the Russian Nationalist Government. Examples of SRs include the Ainu National Republic, Kazaqstan, Tadjikistan.
 
Outside of the former Russian Empire's territories, the definition of a "Sister Republic" was loosely defined. Some states that describe themselves as Nationalist-Republican consider themselves as sister republics of Russia, while others refrained the use of the term as it implies Russian suzerainty.
 
===== Conflict in Central Asia =====
Pan-Turkic ideas had already proliferated in Central Asia since the dawn of the 20th century. However, with the Russian Empire faltering and support from the Ottoman Empire and Serindia, the self-proclaimed Republic of Turkestan declared its independence from Russia in the 1924. Both the Vosstanists and the Liberals fought against Turkestan, and even when the civil war had already ended in 1928, the victorious Vosstanists were still unable to subdue the rebellion. The Vosstanists attempted to negotiate with the Turkic rebels, but they refused to cooperate. This forced the new Russian National Republican government to launch a large-scale war against Turkestan in 1930. This was briefly interrupted during the Russo-Corean War in 1932-1936 and resumed in 1937. During the period of peace, infighting between the leaders of Turkestan finally made it susceptible to Russian diplomatic strong-arming. By 1938, Russia negotiated with the various leaders of the rebellion separately. In the Treaty of Almaty (1938), peace was made in Central Asia; five nominally independent sister republics were created under the auspices of the Russians: Kirghizstan, Kazaqstan, Tadjikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.
