Nogans are a traditionally horse-riding Turkic Shia Muslim ethnic group very similar to Crimean Tatars and Nogais, mainly inhabiting the region of Noganistan, Balkanshahr in Krasnarus, living in isolated villages in mountains and in valleys. Nogans have a very strange situation, with many being landed nobility, but still having no representation, physically or politically, outside of Balkanshahr. As of 2017, 11.9% were below the poverty line; in contrast, only 1.2% of those living outside of Sylvania were living in poverty.
