  Provinces of Mongolia Summary
Mongolia's eastern provinces of Dornod, Suhbaatar, and Hentii are dominated by grassy steppe, a geography that suits the region's major economy— sheep, cattle, and horse breeding.
Livestock breeding is the primary economic activity, with yak and yak hybrid comprising 40 percent of the province's herds.
The farthest west of Mongolia's provinces, Bayan Olgii (2000 population 91,000, area 46,000 square kilometers) is unique among the Mongolian aimags in that the majority of its inhabitants are a non-Mongolian speaking ethnic group—the Kazakhs.

The Battle of Orhon Gol, as it comes to be called, quickly escalates as the two forces massed in the region rush more forces to the area.
Orhon Gol also makes Sukhbaatar and many others in the Mongolian government afraid of another confrontation with the USSR and shipments of small arms to rebels in the Central Asian SSRs of the Soviet Union are ended immediately and reports of the plight of the Buryat Mongols, while not forgotten, are quietly buried.
The Orhon Gol Incident is similar to the Nomonhan incident of OTL, when Soviet and Japanese forces fought at the Mongolian-Manchurian border.
