Zhongguo

The Celestial Empire of Dajiang Zhongguo, commonly referred to as Dajiang or Zhongguo, is a nation in East Asia located primarily in Eastern China It was the first nation claimed for the current Earth World, and was founded by Sikorskiii. Its population is made up mostly of immigrants coming from dying, or already dead nations. Immigrants from Sicily, Rome, and others have increased the nation’s population greatly. Dajiang is massively influential on the server in part due to its myriad of personalities, wealth, significant military power, and the capital Suirenzhen's status as a world hub.

Government
All of Zhongguo adheres to the Mandate of Heaven, and since the inception of the server Sikorskiii has held it. Technically there is no other governing body besides him as Emperor; but three members of the nation are knighted into the Triad, which helps advise the Emperor. Members of the triad are frequently switched out depending on the climate and needs of the Empire. The Emperor as the government is referred to as "The Tianchao". Recently, the Emperor chose to remove the Triad system in favor of a Parliamentary System instead. The National Assembly now fills the role of the Triad.

History
Dajiang’s history has been pretty uneventful for the most part. After Sicily went inactive, some of the Sicilians migrated to Dajiang, doubling the nation’s population and creative the city of Wuhan. In early February, after the Collapse of Rome many of the active Romans migrated to Dajiang to establish the towns of Daishan and Fuzhen, bringing the nation’s population to >15, and quickly promoting it to a world power, filling the vacuum that Rome's collapse had created. Soon after that Dajiang unified and annexed the Duchy of Cangzhou, and after the Islands War, high ranking Yamatians moved to Dajiang as well.

Malagasy War
After being threatened by the nation of "Isis" (who were allied with Madagascar) multiple times, Dajiang started to gather up as many allies as it could and formed a coalition of sorts to fight Madagascar. see Malagasy War

Census
Sikorskiii, the nation's leader, produced and published a census of Dajiang on the 25th of February.

Foreign Relations
Despite being a world power, Zhongguo has limited foreign relations. It's international approval tends to wane and wax depending on the actions of the Emperor or individual citizenry.

The Jeimei
The Jeimei (姐妹/Jiěmèi) are a handful of nations across the server that are closely intertwined with Zhongguo. The Jeimei is the official term for the relation between Zhongguo and these nations; all citizens of Jeimei are treated like part of Dajiang, but they are on paper just allied nations. All Jeimei have Zhongguoese names, and their leaders are high up in the Zhongguo political system. Some foreigners consider this a tributary system, but no direct payment is given to the Empire. So far all three Jeimei came about through different means.

Mingren
Mingren (明人/Míngrén) was the first of the Jeimei. After the Coalition Wars, Holland had secured the island of Sulawesi for itself, attracted by the numerous XP farms built by the Indonesians they had defeated. As Holland faded in relevancy and their PM bonito_pibb went on to form the eclectic Roman Empire, which still claimed Sulawesi. As Rome fell apart, Zhongguo was awarded Sulawesi by Goosw, leader of the Angevins who took part in the fall of Rome. agnius06, who fled Holland right before the formation of Rome, was allowed to leave his exile destination of Suirenzhen for the island to repopulate it. AbolishSuburbs, another Hollander who originally went into exile in Naraka, joined him soon after. Due to the distance between Sulawesi and Zhongguo, the Tianchao permitted nominal independence to Mingren, as the island was now called. The Jeimei relationship was thought up because of agnius06's large involvement in the adminstration of Zhongguo, and his close ties with the Emperor.

Dasiguo
Dasiguo (大食国/Dáxīguó) was the second Jeimei. JennyBudew, founder of Taoyuan, had for days attempted to persuade the Emperor to allow her to colonize a part of the world on behalf of Zhongguo, so she could set up a new town. The Emperor was reluctant to colonize, not wanting to incite fear of Zhongguo by other parts of the world. So instead, she was allowed to move to the destination of her choice, Arabia, and become a Mingren-like nation, closely embedded with Zhongguo, but nominally independent. However, after the events of The Gulf War, Dasiguo chose to disband due to the complete annihilation of Doha, the capital. The citizens of Dasiguo have been fully re-integreated into Zhongguo.

Bashiguo
Bashiguo (巴西国/Bāxīguó) is the third Jeimei. iUnaRandy, a new player wanting to express his pvp talent, made numerous threats to Zhongguo, including that of war. The Emperor decided to strike first, and after a very brief war known as the First Imperial Excursion, saw iUnaRandy's nation, Babylon, subdued. The Emperor was able to maintain cordial relations with Randy, and as he was new to the server, decided to take his nation under his wing. The peace treaty saw Babylon become the Jeimei of Zhongguo, a military alliance, and the promise of help rebuilding.

Joseon
Since the beginning of the world, Dajiang and Joseon have maintained an alliance (known as the "Auld Alliance"). Joseon and Zhongguo have had consistently good relations; with Joseon constructing an embassy in Suirenzhen in January. The only blip in their relationship was during the Islands War where new citizen of Zhongguo, pussilamous, volunteered for Sarkhan, who were fighting Yamatai and Joseon. Pussilamous was under the command of Tomad, another volunteer from Nanzhao. Tomad launched an assault into Joseon, attacking Pyongyang while pussilamous assaulted Seoul, detonating multiple tnt. Alehcks, who was the unofficial Ambassador to Zhongguo and who helped build up Seoul, was outraged. He demanded the Emperor take extreme action against pussilamous; but after stalling by the Tianchao, Alehcks had calmed down and just asked for payment and help with rebuilding. The Emperor persuaded pussilamous to take the deal, and relations normalized again. After, a bridge between Liaoning, Joseon, and Tsingtao was constructed; dubbed "the Friendship Bridge" as a symbol of the two countries' bond.

Shanqu
Since the immigration of Tomad, Skali, and Nicksey to western China, Dajiang had held cordial relations with both Naraka and Nanzhao. These relations continued when both countries united into Shanqu. This relationship was deepened even more during the Battle of the Antarctic and subsequent Malagasy War. After working together substantially in the lead up and execution of the Malagasy War, a union was proposed by Emperor Sikorski, assuming that Dajiang could claim land to connect the already developed territory. On March 28th, the nations united, becoming Zhongguo, One China.
