[[File:Persia Screenshot.jpg|thumb|A view of Khiva and the surrounding nations in 1836]]
'''Khiva''' is an [[Uncivilised]], Landlocked Nation located in Central [[Asia]].
It is coloured in brown and borders {{flag|Persia}}, {{flag|Bukkhara}} and {{flag|Afghanistan}} in the south, Bukkhara and {{flag|Kokand}} in the east, {{flag|Russia}} in the north and uncolonised territory in the west. 

It is one of the Turkic Khanates, along with [[Bukkhara]] and [[Kokand]].

=== Technology ===
Khiva is an uncivilised nation, it will have to civilise before being able to research new technologies. 
Khiva's [[literacy]] is at extremely low 3% at the start of the game and {{icon|clergymen}}[[clergymen]] provide 1.37 research points. Khiva is at 0% of its westernisation process.

=== Diplomacy ===

Khiva doesn't start in a [[great power]]'s [[sphere of influence]], but with a relatively good [[relation]] with Bukkhara (60). Therefore, they are the natural ally, although they often get attacked by [[Afghanistan]].
Often Russia will sphere Khiva, and in that Khiva have all the protection they need.

=== Military ===
Khiva starts with 6 brigades out of 6 possible brigades in 1 army:
* Army of the Khanate of Khiva: consisting of 6 brigades totalling 18.000 troops, all cavalry, located in Khiva, with no leader.

==Strategy==
Early in the game one should use [[national focus]] to promote {{icon|clergymen}}[[clergymen]], as the [[literacy]] rate of Kokand is atrocious.

Annexing [[Kokand]] and [[Bukkhara]] is key, as they have more of Kokands primary culture POPs and they give research points. Bukkhara can be annexed outright with the annex [[casus belli]], but Kokand will require multiple wars. [[Afghanistan]] will most likely attack Bukkhara as they have a [[core]] on one of their provinces. One might be able to time the attack so that Bukkhara has lost all of its troops, making for an extraordinarily easy war. When Bukkhara is annexed, Khiva should be no problem to annex.

Russia will most likely attack Khiva with a demand concession [[casus belli]]. There is nothing one can do to withstand the Russian troops, and the best idea is likely to give up as soon as they attack, in order not to lose troops in a futile war.

After having annexed Bukkhara and possibly Kokand, there are several ways to proceed. Attacking {{flag|Panjab}}, [[Afghanistan]] or [[Persia]] might be possible, if they are in a temporary weak spot. [[Xinjiang]] is also possible, if there has been a [[rebels|revolution]] in {{flag|China}} and Xinjiang has thus broken free from being a [[substate]]. It might later pose problems though, as China has [[cores]] on Xinjiang.
