Again, socalist/communist revolutions would be highly unlikely and even if rebels did happen they wouldn't gain enough support to do much.

Who says the rest of the world wouldn't support them to take you down a peg??? Hmmmmmm??? INTRIGUE

@gowia

One revolution triggers others, thats why no one would support a communist revolution in another country unless they are already communist.

@duck55223

Yeah, just like no western, mostly Christian nation would give weapons to a bunch of Islamic extremists because they happen to be in a position to fight their enemies, right?

[MonkeyBusiness]

Any ETA on when we will be starting?

[null123]

Waiting on peeps to finish apps.

[Dedonus]

Is it just me or do I smell the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere...

[Vanguardian]

May I play as China now that that player has dropped out.
If so, may I also reserve Vietnam, Thailand, Mongolia, Nepal, Laos, Cambodia, and Burma as territories along with China.

@duck55223

Ah ok, Im fine with that, but could I still at least have Mongolia as a state, since they have been a state of China before, and at some points in history they where just a vassal.
Edit: Also, I hope Japan likes colonialism, cause Africa shall be mine... I mean OURS!
Edit 2: Just an extra idea here. What if after the war, Japan overthrew the Qing Emperor in China and Implemented there own Dynasty with the new Emperor being some High ranking official from Japan. It would secure decent relations between the two countries, it would show Japan as even more powerful, and I can pick a name for the dynasty that is easier to pronounce then Qing.

@Vanguardian

I think our three nations could work out a deal for most of the Asian/ Oceanic region.

@Vanguardian

I don't see them putting a Japanese official on the throne, that probably would not work out and being highly unpopular amongst the Chinese Nobility. Although disposing them and replacing them with a Chinese Noble who would be supporting towards Japan. And as for colonialism...they are probably still recovering from the War with Japan. That be pretty destructive towards the former Qing Empire and the new Chinese Emperor would probably be fixing that mess. Although playing nice with Japan would open up access to Japan providing them with some technology so they could recover better.

Colonies probably wouldn't be a thing for China, at least for a while.

@duck55223

Ah ok, but with the whole placing a Chinese Noble who supports Japan on the throne, would that be ok for my history.

[null123]

Yeah

[Vanguardian]

Yeah

@duck55223

Ok then, will get to work on it when I have time.

Name: Empire of the Chinese or The Xiu Dynasty

Territories:
The Empire of the Chinese has control of normal China, the original land of the empire. They also have control of Tibet, Mongolia, and Nepal, all of these are states that where conquered by The Empire of the Chinese under the mighty Xiu Dynasty.

Government:
Absolute Monarchy
The Empire of China is an Absolute Monarchy that is currently ruled by the great Emperor Mau Xiu and his cabinet from advisors. Each region of the Empire, for example Tibet and Mongolia, have there own member of the Royal Family to rule them (For example, the Prince or the Queen). These rulers all can make decisions for those regions, but if needed Emperor Mau Xiu can overthrow those decisions. The other rulers and Emperor Mau Xiu also make up the Imperial court, a group of all of the royals that go and make decisions for the betterment of the empire.

Important Characters:
Emperor Mau Xiu
Mau Xiu was born into a high ranking family, but originally he was no where near royal status. He became a business man a young age normally for the job. (Around 21). At the age of 25, he was promoted to be the kings royal economic advisor. Later on in his life, when tensions grew between Japan and China, Mau Xiu pledged allegiance to the Japanese Empire. Once Japan declared war on China, Mau Xiu moved to a Japanese territory to escape persecution from the King. Once the war ended, the Japanese overthrew the King of China and picked a new leader to control, they picked someone the people would get behind (because he was Chinese), but they also picked someone who supported the Japanese cause, they picked Mau Xiu to take rule of the country and to become Emperor of the now war torn nation.

Economy:
The Empire of the Chinese, like Japan, uses a capitalist model to run their economy. The Government allows businesses to be privately run, 5% of all income and 2% of all goods produced go to the empire to help advance it. This is for most things at least, but Blue Coal industry is a whole other story. With large Blue Coal deposits all over the empire, the Emperor controls that business, just for economic purposes of course, because he doesn't trust any minor person to take control of Blue Coal and give it to the Empires enemies.

Military:
China, with a huge population (one of if not the Largest on earth) and huge blue coal deposits lying over big cities, has a very advanced military compared to most nations. The Air Force uses powerful Speedships (Really Fast Airships) to fly over and bomb other nations. Speedships are not the best at taking hits, but they do have the uncanny ability to destroy the person shooting at them before they actually kill the Speedship.

The Army uses a good amount of Blue Coal, with ground vehicles and a Gatling Gun mixed with a segway. On the front is the gun, which is just a classic Gatling Gun, but on the bag there is an Area you stand on with a wheel and control area that has it move around like a segway. (To sum it up, a Ride able Gatling Gun)

History:
The Xiu Dynasty of China is one of the largest nations size and population wise on earth, which is a large factor in its power-force. With the discovery of blue coal 20 years ago, and the placement of a Emperor who likes Japan taking power 5 years ago, China is in a great position to enter the worlds stage.

In 1846, Blue Coal was discovered inside China near Beijing. China was not the first place to find Blue Coal, but it was one of the first to use it. (I believe Japan was the first, not positive though). The new Emperor of China was appointed after Japan fought and won a war against the Chinese. The New Emperors first act as leader was to invade and conquer Mongolia for the Blue Coal found in the area. China easily marched through the less populated Mongolian lands and quickly established it as a state in the empire. The next target was Tibet, who recently revolted. Tibet, who was allied with Nepal, attempted to fight back, and well, they where more successful at fighting then Mongolia, but the shear population in China's army quickly overpowered and took over the lands of Tibet and Nepal, adding them both as states in the Empire.

Well, the rest of the world might as well roll over and surrender right now before the RP begins, looking at that China.

@gowia

Sorry Jester Boy, but Blue Coal is said to advance everything, so I assume that it would advance a machine gun to shoot bullets at insane speeds. I mean you are the Joker, don't you like a bit of insanity.
