Eastern Turkestan. Look it up. It’s like an Islamist region in China that is trying to break away.

You should put "East" as part of the answer. That's what got me stuck when east wasn't accepted.

I read the description more and realized it was in there as Eastern Turkestan or Turkestan, despite the official name being the East Turkistan Government in Exile. Of course it's confusing that the region in China is known as Xinjiang by Han Chinese people transcribing in Pinyin, and Uygheristan or Uygherstan by some independentist outsiders.

I really like the way the questions are phrased, it's fun, but Texas does not want to secede nor does the USA, so it won't happen. Also it's East Turkestan or East Turkistan.
