(Closest equivalent: Medieval China)

• Geography- Temperate forest with five always competing and occasionally united kingdoms.
  • An-Shih: 207k sq.mi.
  • Laio-Pai: 220k sq.mi.
  • Chang: 434k sq.mi.
  • He-jiang: 289k sq.mi.
  • Xihou: 207k sq.mi.
• Government: A feudal system with each kingdom ruled by a king. A powerful enough king can be elevated to Emperor, who in theory rules all the kingdoms through their kings.
• Population and Races: Human dominated society, but many other races and all are welcome if they toe the line.
• Culture: Respect of your rulers and commitment to society is stressed. A very diverse cultural heritage with a blending of arts and sciences from around the world.
• Economy and Trading: Consummate traders, although strive to be self-sufficient in all things. Have a particular fondness for unique items from exotic lands.
• Military: A few small, elite units, but largely rely on conscripted peasant levies for major engagements. The levies tend to be poorly armed and trained, but rely on overwhelming numbers.
• Allies and Rivals: Have no true allies, as barbarians (i.e. all others) are never to be completely trusted. Often are war with The Orkan Horde and/or the Theocracy of Rai-dul. They have a strained relationship with Tohongo. Spend much of their energy maneuvering against their sister kingdoms.
