I'll fix the formatting on my turn later. 1150-1160: Government: Absolute Monarchy Emperor: Wangdeng (age 47, ascended at age 38.) Dynasty: Wu        Parliament: Nonexistent Alliances: Allied with Dai Viet, part of the Union of Seaborne Nations (composed of Nihon, Wu, Wang, and Liang. Economy: The economy is mainly agriculture based, with Wuhan and Changsha being major commercial hubs. In many parts of the nation, there is a strong fishing industry. Paper money is well established and often used. Our major exports are Rhubarb, musk, honey, and hemp. The Lake Donting area, the geographic and administrative center of our nation, grows ramie, a type of tea. Changsha is located on a major trade route stretching from the Khitan Steppes to the lands of Lavo and Srivijaya. Specialized crafts like ceramics and paper-making are also present. The city of Shu is the beginning of a trade route to India and Myanmar. Capital: Changsha Administration: 7 different commanderies (Jun) governed by a Taishou (Great Administrator). Every Jun is divided into urban prefectures (Fu) and Rural prefectures (Xian). Demographics: Population (excluding occupied territories): ~17,880,000 Changsha: 450,000 Ethnic makeup: ~30% Xiang Chinese (Yun) ~37% Southwestern Chinese (Han subgroup) ~11% Gan Chinese ~9% Miao ~6% Tujia ~5% Dong ~`2% other Religion: 58% Chinese Folk Religion 9% Pure Tianism 2% Regional Religion 31% Mahayana Buddhism Military: Active Land Forces: 62,500(~0.35% of population) Swordsman: 27,400 Spearman/Pikeman: 16,600 Ranged (Bowman): 10,400 Ranged (Crossbowman): 7,100 Gunpowder-wielding-infantry (also serve as elite infantry): 600 Siege engines: 35 Cavalry : 1000 Reserves: 108,000 (0.64% of population) Navy: 140 ships Events: Shihuoshu (Book of Proper Living): The Shihuoshu, or the Book of Proper Living (适活书), is published by a philosipher by the name of Yang Zi. A book on how to behave for anyone, regardless of social status, age, gender, and ethnicity. While the book borrowed heavily from existing Confucian or Buddhist beliefs, it gave them a twist. While in traditional religions you typically weren’t rewarded for your good actions, and achieving enlightement was difficult, Tianism states that all that you need to do to recieve fortune and go to an afterlife that is certainly better than the world here is to follow Tianist teachings. Tianist values differ slightly from Daoist values by also emphasizing Devotion (to Tian), and Hard Work, and Control. In additon, Tianism is against Feng Shui, saying that it is not reliable, and that the notion that the prospertity of a family or shop relies small differences in postion is absurd. Due to the use of the moveable print, and that a lot of Tianist beliefs strike a chord with many people, Tianism experiences a huge increase of followers.

Wars and Conflicts: War with Annan: Being rather south, the start of a cold period doesn’t impact us too much, so we can continue our war with Annan without any repurcussion. We continue our march towards Zhangjiang, and once we capture the city we’ll sweep up all land between the Leizhou peninsula and the western border of Wang. All generals who are sent to siege Zhanjiang are given orders to keep as the city intact as possible, because it’s the only major port city that we’ll capture.
