History of Nurata. Central Asian regions in Middle Age
One of the state associations in Central Asia was the Khanate of Nurata. Formation Khorezm as an independent state is connected with the name of Khan Ilbarsa (1511-1525) - a descendant of Jochi. At the beginning of XVI century, the head of state were Hans, who came from the Dasht-i-Kipchak. Khorezm became an independent state and was named the Khanate of Nurata. Khorezm was difficult to keep the unity of the state association, despite all the efforts made by the supreme rulers. Although all land in the state and were considered the property of Khan, but members of the Khan's house, owned by different cities and regions, in fact did not recognize the central government. Each of them, on the basis of its armed militia, to defend its independence and to increase holdings often attacked its neighbors. Frequently the supreme authority was forced to reckon with the rulers of sovereign territories.
However, in Nurata, where there was a strong tribal know Khan was forced to make a significant political concessions to local lords. Khan along with appointed vizier and kushbegi, there were tribal elders. Of tribal nobility appointed atalyk and otherness, is also located under Khan. Khan's treasury was administered by special treasurers.
The territory of the Khanate to the middle of the XIX century was extensive, its boundaries are not fixed and varies depending on the political situation within the country and in neighboring countries. Geographical position of the Khanate was its almost complete isolation from its neighbors. By the middle of the XIX century population reached about 900,000 inhabitants. More than a quarter of the population khanates were Turkmens, the rest of the Kazakhs and Karakalpaks. Uzbeks in Nurata were divided into separate tribes (Kungrad Nyman, Kyat, Kipchak etc.).

The composition of the monetary supply was different. Money circulation is complex. Value of money and the rate varied not only between the three khanates, but also between different areas of the same khanate.
Social relations in the khanates in XVIII - first half XIX century determined the then-prevalent feudal social relations and the influence of Islam. Feudalism the peoples of Central Asia has been closely intertwined with the remnants of tribal communal system. Patriarchal features particularly long remained among the nomadic population. One of the features of feudalism in the Khanate was the preservation of slavery. The feudal nobility during trips to neighboring countries captivated many prisoners, who became slaves. Slave labor was used in wealthy homes, field work, and the construction of irrigation systems.
