 * Government: The government expands to 14 provinces ruled by generals during 843 BCE, but was later split into 6 provinces for Yin and 8 for Yang.
 * Economy: Wooden tablets are still in use. But scrolls are making their way about for recording and keeping track of wooden tablets much more closely due to inflation.
 * Population: 25 million (Due to high infant mortality in ancient times, birth rates became high as it is a gamble for babies to live past the age of 5. An average family of the Feng dynasty holds two or three surviving children per household who lived to see adulthood. Not to mention immigration of several dozen families into urban cities. The Chinese dynasty oversaw recent acquisitions coupled with a growing population caused a boost in pop. but fertility rates are slowing down)

 * Events:
 * Rise of Yin and Yang: Feng succession rules state that the oldest child shall inherit the throne. However, Yin was born first over Yang out of the twins in 843. Growing up together, Yin was held in higher beauty to those around her. Yang was handsome, but he was fairly average. The twins through out the years had attempted to out do the other. With Yin using her beauty to gain influence while Yang worked hard to earn his place amongst the court. The Feng emperor, realizing his children's quarrel could lead to  a civil, decided to make an exception to the law, where Feng's land would be divided along north and south upon his death. The North would be Yin, and South would be Yang. On 802 bc, the Feng Emperor's death caused a split, but it wasn't that he envisioned equally. One general refused to join Yin's side, preferring Yang's as he earned the general's respect. The two sides were at peace but were inching towards conflict over the course of generations.
