History
Ancient History (Pre-NS): The story of the founding of the nation and the city of Huo Xing is a strange one, requiring one to have some knowledge of the world upon which it all transpired, as well as the forces at work there. Millenia ago, nay, eons ago, the beings known simply as 'The Old Ones' made the world of New Shoggoth, much as they made the Earth. However, when the Great Old Ones came and warred, New Shoggoth, much as Earth, came under their influence.
Being creepy, evil, insane, and generally hard to understand, the Great Old Ones have done many things to their various realms, and unlike on Earth, on New Shoggoth they walk about freely. Consequently, many have taken loyal followers from their various cults on Earth and moved them to their realms on New Shoggoth. They also practiced taking slaves, in great quantities in ancient times, and it was from these slaves that Huo Xing formed. Various different groups of slaves from different regions and nations of Earth escaped from their captors, and spread out to found small citystates in isolated terrain. Most managed to maintain their culture and identity from Earth to some degree, and so would be recognizable to the inhabitants of said planet.
In isolation, these various groups grew from citystates to small nations, each taking in as immigrants escapees from the cultists and slaves of the Great Old Ones, until they began to impose upon eachother's borders. Eventually, through some conflict and absorbtion, there came to be only three human nation states on the (blank) peninsula. These three nations traced their lineages back through Han Dynasty China, Ptolemaic Egypt, and the Roman Republic. They lived in an uneasy peace, until finally one rose among the three, Ptolemy XXXI. Given a vision from the god Mars, he set in motion actions that changed forever the three seperate nations. Through a series of brilliant maneuverings, politicing, and in a few cases military conquests, he managed to unify all three nations, and then proceeded to found the city of Huo Xing. They date their years from the founding of this city, and ever sense then there has been a curious and surprisingly peaceful Syncretism between the various cultures, religions, and governments of them.
