Tibet is a releasable nation from 
China located from East Asia 
. It was updated in the 10/25/2023 update, making it slightly stronger, now as it owns a city with over 1 million population.
Background
Tibet (藏区) is a region in Asia covering much of the Tibetan Plateau spanning about 2,500,000 km2 (970,000 sq mi). It is the traditional homeland of the Tibetan people as well as some other ethnic groups such as Monpa, Tamang, Qiang, Sherpa, and Lhoba peoples and is now also inhabited by considerable numbers of Han Chinese and Hui people. Tibet is the highest region on Earth, with an average elevation of 4,380 m (14,000 ft). Located in the Himalayas, the highest elevation in Tibet is Mount Everest, Earth's highest mountain, rising 8,848 m (29,029 ft) above sea level.

The The economy of Tibet is dominated by subsistence agriculture, though tourism has become a growing industry in recent decades. The dominant religion in Tibet is Tibetan Buddhism; in addition there is Bön, which is similar to Tibetan Buddhism,[9] and there are also Tibetan Muslims and Christian minorities. Tibetan Buddhism is a primary influence on the art, music, and festivals of the region. Tibetan architecture reflects Chinese and Indian influences. Staple foods in Tibet are roasted barley, yak meat, and butter tea. |
Language
Linguists generally classify the Tibetan language as a Tibeto-Burman language of the Sino-Tibetan language family although the boundaries between 'Tibetan' and certain other Himalayan languages can be unclear. According to Matthew Kapstein.Standard Tibetan and some Chinese.
From the perspective of historical linguistics, Tibetan most closely resembles Burmese among the major languages of Asia. Grouping these two together with other apparently related languages spoken in the Himalayan lands, as well as in the highlands of Southeast Asia and the Sino-Tibetan frontier regions, linguists have generally concluded that there exists a Tibeto-Burman family of languages. More controversial is the theory that the Tibeto-Burman family is itself part of a larger language family, called Sino-Tibetan, and that through it Tibetan and Burmese are distant cousins of Chinese.

Geography
Terrain
Tibet is entirely covered with Mountainous terrain.
Cities
Tibet has 12 cities. The biggest is Xining, with 1.05m population. This makes Tibet a weak nation, although because all their cities are so widespread, this makes them harder to invade.
Threats
Taiwan may take advantage of a divided China and take you to form the 
Republic of China. (UNCOMMON)- China wanting to form the
Qing Dynasty. (COMMON) 
India expanding off of China's collapse or wanting to expand North. (RARE)- Other Chinese releasables might take you for expansion or a Formable. (UNCOMMON)
- Nations wanting to expand to China. (RARE)
Kazakhstan expanding East. (RARE)
Buryatia forming 
Sacred Union of Shambhala. (VERY RARE)
Strategy
If you're playing as Tibet, that likely means China has collapsed. In this case, you can expand fairly easily, without threats from other players. Tibet is well protected from enemies by its mountainous terrain, which considerably slows any army attempting to take its cities, which are spread out. First, you may want to expand north, to 
East Turkestan and 
Hexi. It is recommended to not take 
Nepal or 
Bhutan yet, as those nations are in the middle of the Himalayas, and therefore difficult to invade. Once you expand into East Turkestan and Hexi, move into 
Guangxi, and if you're feeling brave, 
Shanxi. Once you take those, you will be incredibly strong (at least once you integrate them), so now you can move into the other provinces, like 
Hok-giong, 
Anhui, 
Mongolia, China, or 
Manchuria. Once you've united the provinces, you may want to wait a bit while war exhaustion and unrest die down. Since your capital is Xining, which is a city with above 1 million population, it's probably the best option. I recommend not moving the capital outside of Tibet, as if you collapse the capital will no longer be in your territory, and you will lose 15% base stability. So, once you have cored China, you will be decently strong. From there, if these nations are independent, then move into 
Korea, Central Asia, Bhutan, Nepal, and if you have the strength, India. Ingame, it is relatively weak compared to other releasables, But with the right training and strategy you might go on a world conquest. But it takes quite some time.
Trivia
- It's 1 of, if not the highest elevated region in the world per mountain, exceeding 4,500 meters (14,800 feet) on average above the sea level! (A great example for why realism in RoN also would make the game worse)
- Tibet's in-game borders resembles Greater Tibet rather than the actual Tibet province.
- Tibet has all of Qinghai and some of Sichuan, which is why Tibet has a square city.
- The capital in reality is Lhasa instead of Xining.
