The Heavenly Republic | Yin-Tsu Republic | Respublik Çinnetu

 * Government: Theocratic Republic
 * Heavenly Messenger: Yuen Çin ( b.1317, elected 1367)
 * Capital: Chiko
 * Economy: We are mostly agrarian, but dabble in trade in the Black Sea a bit, as well as some mining. The economy is currently in wartime gear.
 * Demographics (current area we control):
 * Population: 212k
 * Chiko: 25k
 * Kamo: 11k
 * Religion: 96% Orthodox Christianity, 3% Catholicism, 1% other (mostly foreign traders)
 * Ethnicity: 66% Çumñen (Yin-tsu), 25% Crimean Gothic, 7% Varangian, 2% other (mostly Greek, Khazar, or other traders)
 * Military:
 * Army: 4000 swordsmen, 1500 archers, 1000 cavalry
 * Navy: 3 heavy ships, 6 galleys, ~212 merchant ships
 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Yin-Tsu War of Liberation: We push further along our coast, laying siege to and hopefully taking the city of Aragat. Meanwhile, in the east, a contingent of troops attempts to surround the city of Taganrog and lay siege to it.
 * Events:
 * Bureaucracy?: The beginnings of a national bureaucracy begin to be created, relying quite a bit on church records (as de facto censuses and other records of important figures), but open to anyone who should prove themselves capable. (The Yin-tsu bureaucracy's openness to anyone of sufficient merit dates back to their roots as refugees from ancient China, with the Yin-tsu inheriting a form of the Chinese meritocratic system, complete with examinations, from their forefathers. Although technically open to anyone, the difficulty of the exams, as well as the requirement of mastering both the written Yin-tsu language, as well as spoken and written Varangian and Latin, essentially limits the bureaucratic pool to wealthy families who can afford to send their children to schools to be educated.)
 * Building a Navy: With the War of Independence still ongoing, efforts are made to create a seaworthy navy for the nascent Yin-tsu nation. So far, 3 heavy ships and 4 gallleys have been built.
 * The Constitutional Convention: In April of 1367, Yuen Çin and many of his benefactors and supporters convened in the Cathedral of Chiko. There, they discussed what the new nation was to become, how it was to be governed, and other things. Eventually, what came out of this meeting was the Heavenly Constitution, which laid out the form of governance of the Yin-tsu nation, as well as the basic law of the country. Taking heavy inspiration from Biblical law, as well as common Roman law and other law codes in Eastern Europe (i.e the Vedenan and Inkerian legal codes), the Heavenly Constitution established the newly-formed Yin-tsu state as a republic, to be headed by a Heavenly Messenger who would be elected once every 5 years. All adult males residing in the nation could vote in elections. The Constitution also mandated a tricameral legislative structure, comprised of the House of Lords, the House of Priests, and the Senate, representing the three main political groups within the nation (the nobility, the clergy, and the commoners), as well as a Supreme Court that was to be independent from the legislative bodies (judges were ineligible to run for any position within the legislative structure, and vice versa). Although the House of Lords and the Supreme Court justices were to be appointed by the Heavenly Messenger, and the House of Priests were appointed by the Bishop of Constantinople, Senators could be elected by the people.
