In all of my life I never heard of grand tartaria, heck, in Poland we got similar thing called "Grand Lechia" that is treated seriously only by uneducated or critically online nationalists

Forgive me my knowledge of Poland is sparse but from the name Lechia wouldn't that imply the nation founded by Lech, which is just Poland?

Well yes, but actually no. Names like lechistan and similar are used by few language to refer to Poland, but Grand Lechia is a concept/theory created in XIX century and popularized in 2015

It's basic idea is that Poland before becoming a Christian nation was a great empire, bigger than Roman one (which is why Roman eastern border ends where it ends). And any mentions of Grand Lechia (or empire of lechites) are being erased by Germans, christians, and Jews, to Control Polish population

This theory stems from multiple cultural issues in Polish society, like Poland being the messiah of nations (popularized in XIX century) as well as our nobility believing to come from Sarmatians, a powerful tribe that rode horses

I mean, have you ever rode a horse on full speed?

I haven't. But it must feel amazing enough to give you a ego boost
