The Dynasty

After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty in China a handful of loyalists to the noble family of Xheng isolated themselves in central China. The Ming Dynasty that followed permitted some local rule by the Xhengs as they swore loyalty to the Mings with absolute devotion. For their loyalty the Xheng's were given great autonomy. Through the process of flourishing silk and porcelain trade they branched into more profitable and necessary businesses such as the wealthy salt and spice trade.

The Ming Dynasty era allowed the Xhengs to exploit maritime technology. During the era they constructed massive grain ships and huge convoys of vessels to transport goods with the permission of the Emperor. This trade was valuable even after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. The Xhengs were forced to relinquish their loyalties to the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Secretly the Xheng family and their masses of followers planned to leave China, possibly for the new world of territories discovered during Zheng-He's voyages.

The Qing Dynasty set three centuries of preparations for the Xhengs. They pooled resources and wealth into secretly hidden underground chambers, that stored their masses of treasure and wealth. Massive rooms of gold and silver, jade and the greatest laquer, jade and porcelain artwork were kept hidden from the Qing.

The fall of the Qing dynasty, the era of warlords and the civil war brought great danger to the Xhengs as many of them were forced to be conscripted into warring factions but their goods and treasures were secured and only were handed to the royal family. After the Communist takeover and into Deng Xiaoping's reforms later to the end of the cold war, the Xheng's re-emerged as a powerful and wealthy family. Utilizing the modern construction methods of many international corporations, they began the construction of massive ships called Xheng-Class worldships. Their corporate empire was taking physical form as they bought more and more land from the communists. Eventually they realized that the Communists would never allow their existance as a monarchy and departed their ancient lands for the unknown. The Newer Lands of Europe awaited the Xhengs.

The Arch-Imperium

Twenty Xheng-Class Worldships filled with treasure and wealth with a fleet of more than 100 military vessels and 200 cruise liners and transoceanic ships. 50 million people had to depart and they did so with a massive oceanic voyage all the way past many regions to Europe. As they arrived they were not in posession of any land until the European Union Territorial Commission permitted them land. For a time they had to settle with creating their own territory. The Xhengs started to construct Tsing-Ma, the first mobile platform.

</div> Tsing-Ma revolutionized the way of living in much of the European region. States there had never seen a floating steel and glass city like Tsing-Ma before and sovereignty was a definate issue. On top of that the fact that the new Arch-Imperium considered that their massive vessels were considered to be sovereign territory caused some controversy. </div> The construction of the Dynastic-Class Worldships to the civilian market opened up new possibilities for the commercial enterprise of the Xheng Economy. The Xheng Emperor himself had a ship comissioned for himself. When the Land was granted the Xheng Arch-Imperium took no time to construct their new cities, scrapping many ships and unloading their massive trasures so that they could form a powerful economy. Though compared to other nations their GNP was low their standards of living and lifestyle were based on resources not currency.

Culture

The Xheng Dynasty rules over an Arch-Imperium, which is a federation of 3 provinces and 1 territory. The Territory is under the control of the Xheng Family while the other 3 provinces are nominally under the control of the 3 smaller dynastic clans. In truth most of the families are members of these 4 groups, but realistically this has no impact on their lifestyles. Except for the Royal Family, most people within the Arch-Imperium live rather simple ilves. It is a highly commercialized yet socialist style culture. The ancient culture of Oriental traditions is very prevelant and classical confucian ideas still flourish. The religions of Islam, Mahayana and Zen Buddhism, Taoism, Shinto and Ancestral Worship are still the most dominant of religious forces.

</div>

The culture of the Xheng Arch-Imperium allows for a very high standard of living with minimal income required. This makes the Arch-Imperium unique as the government is heavily responsible for providing shelter and community resources such as energy and shelter for its population. The wealth of the Xheng Dynasty comes from various sorts of industries, primarily manufacturing and mineral refinement. The advent of the massive construction of sea cities meant that mariculture was also a significant industry, exporting food and raw materials from the ocean which Xheng Technology seemed perfect for.

The mix of the old and the new seem to work well together. The Imperial Palace features many ancient buildings that were directly imported from their homeland. These buildings were disasembled then reasembled into a perfect reproduction of the great Imperial Palace of the orient. Many of the government buildings within the Imperial Palace were former great dining and meeting halls for the Emperor's officials. Converted into large auditoriums these great halls now are used to create laws and regulations that protect the people outside of the Imperial Palace. The Palace, like its twin, the Forbidden City features 9999.5 rooms (one room is actually a door opening to a staircase that goes to the ceiling with no destination, which is considered half a room).Outside the Imperial Palace, ancient looking oriental buildings are actually built from new modern state of the art materials purposely aged to look ancient and with rich culture.

Medicine is state of the art and highly reliable, but at the same time people consult herbalists and Acupuncturists for additional healing. Exercises such as meditation and Tai Chi are still widely practiced and the Government even encourages daily exercise for health and safety reasons. Martial Arts is also encouraged to promote dicipline and detication to physical health, while music, art and caligraphy are also promoted to preserve artistic expression. The practice of these arts and cultural activities are often moments for celebration. The New Years celebrations are also a holiday to remember as the Orientals certainly know how to throw a party.

Social culture of the Arch-Imperium is surprisingly liberal for a nation that values ancient traditions. Recently, the Emperor openly declared same-sex unions to be legal and just as valid as opposite sex relationships, a powerful liberal motivation for the movement towards more social and independent freedoms is a vital mandate for the Imperial Stratagem, that is heavily supported by the monarchy and the aristocracy. Abortions, and right to die have been examined in detail and are judged by a case by case situation. For the most part Judges and Advocates are heavily relied on to judge these cases with an open mind.

Cultural and religious groups

Choson: Primarily from central Orient, the Choson are the smallest minority. They compose perhaps 20 million in number but have their own blend of architecture, cuisine and music. They essentially are an independent people who have their own lifestyle. Under the Xheng Dynasty they have been granted a great deal of autonomy.

Han: The largest population by far is the Han ethnic group. They compose 90% of the population and the Xheng Dynasty is amongst them. The Han culture is by far the most dominant but thanks to the efforts of the government the cultural assimilation of other smaller groups was stopped. The Han language is also the most commonly spoken and is the official language but in regions of other ethnic groups,

Nippon: Islandic and more feudal, the Nipponese are a very culturally rich minority based on simplicity. Their own cultural iconic buildings were also imported such as Sa'ja Castle were brought across the oceans. Their food is famous for its delicacy and richness of flavour, as well as being raw.

'Shintoism: A religion based on local Nippon folk beliefs and customs. Shinto comes into significant important for the Nipponese elders are directly responsible for the highest levels of worship. Shintoism itself has the belief of many natural spirits of nature and the enviornment.

Confucianism: Though not technically a religion, Confucianism is actually a philosophy of social order with a heirarchy structure. To the benefit of the Xheng Dynasty this order points to the Emperor as the supreme authority of power and must be obeyed.

Buddhism: There are three vast branches of Buddhism that exist within the Arch-Imperium: Zen, Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhism exist all within the borders. These 3 major sects exist peacefully and stress the importance of internal peace and understanding.

Taoism: In addition to similarities to Shintoism, Taoism is a Han/Choson version of the relatively similar beliefs of the Shinto culture, however Taoism evolved before Shintoism became mainstream.

Islam: the only western religion to recieve a large following within the Arch-Imperium. This usually is associated with a more outward religion.

Commerce

The construction of the Xheng-Class Worldships was a breakthrough for manufacturing of large scale vessels and construction projects. The technology required to create such huge vessels was put to later use when the construction of cities took priority. At an astounding rate cities throughout the Arch-Imperium's territory were springing up with fully functional facilities. Hydroelectric, solar and wind power were used to make the entire region enviornmentally friendly. Geothermal energy sometimes was also exploited to be used for heat generation. The need for energy sources allowed the enviornment to be targetted but the government was adamant that the enviornment was a definate issue that could not be disputed. As a result the Arch-Imperium has some of the most strict laws regarding enviornmental protection.

Cities made of steel and glass seem to be the more popular but also other construction materials like concrete and wood and even bamboo are common place. A mixture of their ancient curved roof architecture and compacted earth may still be seen in the building of traditional gardens and temples. For the most part modern grey and glass structures are more common. To allow for beauty, asthetic appeal is of pivotal importance. Gardens and plantlife of various colour variations are highly favored.

The Xheng Dynasty itself owns many large corporations which are highly profitable. These companies are not under the jurisdiction of the government executive, rather under the royal family of the Xheng Dynasty.

Dynastic international

</div>

Dynastic International is a megacorporation that is under the authority of the Xheng Family. They used their financial connections and rich treasures of the nation to create a massive construction company. DConstruction of large oceanic workprojects such as the Xheng-Class and Dynastic-Class Worldships as well as the artificial floating cities. Dynastic International features the largest shipyards ever built. Amongst the vessels constructed at these shipyards are military-grade vessels like nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and enormous submarines. Since the shipyards have to be large enough to accomodate Worldships it is to little surprise that they can also be used to refit and restock entire fleets of cruiseships. Their smaller division companies include Dynastic Fleet Works, Euro-Tower Incorporated, Dynastic Aero Works and Dynastic Mariculture.

Dynastic International is a public trade company which means it has stocks and public investors. However despite the circulation of more than 1 trillion shares, the company still is firmly held within the Xheng Royal Family that holds 70% of the shares. The company's diversification has been astounding since the construction of Tsing-Ma City, the world's first floating island city.

Dynastic International has branched into many large scale companies funneling huge profits directly into the Xheng Dynastic Family. The Xheng Royal Family's since has contributed much to the Imperial Stategem's governing structure and charities as well as research institutions furthering the technological advances of the nation.

Due to the Government's influence on the companies, the Xheng Family owns 51% of all shares in the company, in addition the Imperial Stratagem holds another 29% shares earning significant income for the government in the methods of sales and product that Dynastic International offers abroad as well as domestically.

Dynastic Construction Inc

The largest division of Dynastic International responsible fo the construction of the large floating cities as well as shipyards for the Dynastic-Worldships and the lesser seen Xheng-Class Worldships. Dynastic Construction Inc. is the largest manufacturer of offshore platforms in the region.

Dynastic Shipworks

The smaller shipyard facilities managed for the ships of the smaller Imperial Cruise Lines. Dynastic Shipworks does ship maintenance for all of the vessels in Dynastic Oceanic Lines and Dynastic Cruise Lines. The only ships not managed by Dynastic Shipworks

Dynastic MotorDrive

What goes inside cars, boats, ships, airplanes, helicopters and trains are always at the hands of Dynastic MotorDrive. Heavy Mechanics is the specilality of this division of Dynastic International. Motor parts and all vehicle construction parts are under this divison which is second largest after Dynastic Construction Inc.

Dynastic Oceanic Lines

The main marketting line for the massive Dynastic-Class Worldships. Dynastic Oceanic Lines has to support the large Dynastic-Class Worldships, all 6 of them. Dynastic Oceanic Lines also handles the functions of private islands purchased by the company to handle resorts. These resorts may be shared with Dynastic Cruise Lines.

Dynastic Cruise Lines

The 6 classes of ships, Xia, Zhou, Shang, Qin, Han and Sui class ships are handled by the large Dynastic Cruise Lines Company. In addition the company also handles marketting and promitions, human resources and management of all the six classes of ships.

Dynastic AeroWorks (DAW)

The air flight wing of Dynastic International. Purchasing designs from Qairbus, Dynastic AeroWorks began to be the primary airflight producer for nearly all of the flight vehicles in the entire Arch-Imperium. To their benefit Dynastic AeroWorks slowly began to expand its market to many other nations, much as its sister companies, Dynastic Fleet Works and Dynastic International.

Dynastic Mariculture

The resource gathering wing of Dynastic International is the division responsible for aquaculture and mariculture, underwater geothermal energy harvesting, as well as cultivation of marine life for food. Dynastic Mariculture processes more than 10,000 tonnes of food in a single week. This is more than enough for feeding a massive population. Utilizing latest cloning techniques and growth of plantlife and livestock in their enormous harvesting stations, Dynastic Mariculture is on the cutting edge of food producing technology.

Dynastic AgriWorks

Land based farming is the responsibility of Dynastic AgriWorks. From vast rice paddies to horticulture and wheat farms, Dynastic AgriWorks is diverse in everyfield of agriculture. Cloning and Genetically modified foods as well as natural organic markets are both exposed for Dynastic AgriWorks' production.

Dynastic FleetWorks (DFW)

The smaller scale version of Dynastic International which services smaller civilian vessels. It produces many ships from speed boats, to luxury yachts to even the largest cruise liners. Worldships are not cruise liners as their sheer size dwarfs any ship built. Dynastic Fleet Works now also diversifies into smaller civilian craft as well as standard cruise ships for various cruise lines operating throughout the region. Dynastic Fleet Works is known for the moderate sized Jade-Class Cruise ships and Sapphire-Class Ocean Liners.

Dynastic Transport and Freight

Specialized Transportation such as public transportation, mass transit systems and freight are the specialized systems under Dynastic Transport and Freight. It is a very diverse division as it handles air, land, rail, and sea travel. Dynastic Transport and Freight handle a fleet of merchant vessels as well as trains for mass transport of goods.

Imperial Networks

A larger corporate division that was recently granted some automony from Dynastic International. The strange aspect about Dynastic International is that one division can in fact buy out another division as the free market wills.

Imperial Telecom (IT-Com)

Imperial Telecom is under the branch Imperial Networks that handles Domestic and International Communications technologies as well as other High-Tech firms. Imperial Telecom is massive and focuses on every aspect of High-Tech industry from microchip development for computer systems, broadband communications networks, cellular phone services, to satellite launching.

Imperial Forestry Conglomerate

Lumber acquisition and forest planting is the duty of the IFC.

Imperial Dynastic Minerals (IDM)

Mineral research and development section of Dynastic International. One of the more controversial minerals that IDM does refinement of, is Uranium for nuclear power and potentially nuclear weaponry. However the Imperial Strategem has made it adamantly clear (and with opening of records) that IDM does not sell enriched Uranium for weapons manufacturing. Experiments in Nuclear Fusion have been promissing in hopes that they would allow

Euro-Tower Inc.

An international conglomerate of investors who pitched together their massive fortunes (or at least portions of their fortunes) to construct the world's tallest structure. Utilizing much of the construction techniques of Dynastic International, the goal was to build a tower that was nearly a mile tall. Euro-Tower is one of the largest international construction cooperative efforts for the year and it is chaired by many high ranking officials of many international companies as well as government officials to assure that funding is assured and maintained. Due to the massive influx of companies involved, Euro-Tower Inc. is also under enormous crutiny for effective spending.

Psionex

The military manufacturing company for the Xheng Dynastic Military Defense Forces. The massive bulk of civilian contracts go to Dynastic-Link Companies, but Psionex is given military and defense agreements to produce naval, land based, and aircraft. Psionex is exclusive to the Imperial Stratagem.

</div>

PetroEnergy

Where there is oil, there is always a market. PetroEnergy is one of the best funded portion of Dynastic International in comparison to its size. Rich underwater and underground petroleum reserves throughout the Arch-Imperium are holding potential for PetroEnergy to become a formidable player in the region's oil economy. In addition, PetroEnergy heavily relies on more cleaner methods of energy production such as solar production, wind turbine farms and natural gas.

The Imperial Stratagem (government structure)

</div>

The government forumula of the Xheng Dynastic Arch-Imperium is consisted of three legislatures the executive, the royal family and the Judicial system. Throughout the system of government representatives are elected by a democratic process similar to those of European Nations but they utilize a single-transferable ballot proportional representation system. By tradition the legislative system is refered to as the Imperial Stratagem.

The legislative process in the Imperial Stratagem is relatively simple. There are three readings in every chamber. Every reading must pass with a majority then it is immediately moved to the next chamber. All legislation can be introduced by any member of any hall or council, but it must begin in the Hall of Deputies. The Hall of Deputies represents the majority of the general public so that is the beginning of any process. Amendments can be made in each of these processes including committees which are made as a stage 2 of the readings.

==The Hall of Deputies==

500 representatives elected by the STBPR method from all over the nation and all inner-regions. It is from this chamber that the Prime Minister, and Ministers of the Throne are all from. This is the lower house but the one with the most authority. Every member is elected for 6 year terms with set election dates but they can run for as many terms as they wish. The rules of the Imperial Stategem are quite simple, that the political party with the largest number of seats/elected representatives thus holds power and forms government.

</div>

The Hall of Councilors

The Upper House of the Imperial Strategem, the Upper House consists of 300 seats, elected in identical methods to the lower house with the acception that their terms are set at 8 years. Often the result of the Hall of Councilor vote can tip the balance of power to another political party. But the Hall of Councilors cannot change the government. It is the Hall of Deputies that assures the governing party the right to govern, even if opposition has more seats included with their own members in the Hall of Councilors. Councilors may kill legislation passed by the Hall of Deputies if necessary.

The Council of Princes

The highest level of the Imperial Strategem short of the Cabinet itself. Half of the members are appointed by the Prime Minister, the other half are appointed by the Emperor. The Council of Princes are all nobility by appointment or by birth. The elected officials who are made a part of the nobility are only nobility by temporary appointment. The Council of Princes is perhaps the most powerful body in the government as it can create and pass legislation without the concent of the other houses, even the Prime Minister. They simply require the approval of thet Emperor to create laws. There are 100 seats on the Council or Princes. They have permanent seats but can be removed at the weill of the Prime Minister of the Emperor.

The cabinet

The Ministers of the Throne all have portfolios and responsibilities regulated to every vital department. Ministers are the highest representatives of departments and are directly answerable to the Hall of Councilors and the press for what goes on in their departments. As a Ministerial portfolio may be prestigious and powerful it is also extremely difficult to escape misdeeds within the departments by high ranking civil servants who are often more difficult to remove or catch.

</div>

The Emperor

The Emperor is the supreme ruler of the Arch-Imperium to no acception. He is also the bearer of significant political power in appointments. Unlike a constitutional Monarch, the Emperor himself effectively has the constitutional right to exercise his own powers to "the best disgression in the name of the state". The Xheng Emperor ruling today is the 15th in a long line of rulers and thus holds the legacy of his entire dynasty in his own reputation. The Emperor can remove any appointment made by the Prime Minister at will but rarely does this. In often times he responds to public preasure to do so when the political wing does not satisfy public demands. The Emperor's chief representative is the Imperial Proxy. The Emperor bestows immediate and all powers of his authority to the Imperial Proxy for most day to day issues. The Emperor must be addressed as "His Imperial Majesty".

The Imperial Proxy

Arguably the most powerful person in the Arch-Imperium after the Emperor himself. The Imperial Proxy oversees all day to day actvities of the Emperor. However when it comes to issues and situations such as ceremonial roles, those must be done so by the Emperor. The Imperial Proxy may even represent the Emperor abroad, however most of these responsibilities of foreign representation would be for the Ambassadors, the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince, rarely does the Imperial Proxy be involved in foreign matters.

The Crown Prince

The highest member of the royal family after the Emperor, the Crown Prince is also the Heir to the Throne. Unlike other monarchies, though the Crown Prince is not the Sovereign, he is the Sovereign in waiting which entitles him to be addressed as "His Majesty". The Crown Prince is the third in line of Royal Power after the Emperor and the Imperial Proxy. The Crown Prince does have political power but it is usually inappropriate for him to exercise it without being appointed Imperial Proxy or Imperial Regent.

The Imperial Regent

In cases where the Emperor is incapacitiated or unable to conduct his duties, or is not present to conduct domestic responsibilities, he appoints, or his son, the Crown Prince appoints the Imperial Regent. It is vital not to mistake the Imperial Regent for the Imperial Proxy since they are both not the same position. The Imperial Regent, when appointed holds equal power to the Imperial Proxy, as a direct balance and check to the Proxy's authority and power. The Imperial Regent has the duties to conduct the Emperor's official roles within the nation with the single acception of appointments. All appointments must be agreed to by both the Proxy and Regent. If they cannot reach agreement, the Prime Minister is summoned to break the tie.

The Prime Minister

The Prime Minister must be an elected representative in the Hall of Deputies. The Prime Minister is the leader of the political party that holds the most amount of seats. The Prime Minister is also the first minister of the cabinet and the most politically powerful individual in the nation. Because he is elected the public may have more faith in his ability as the political leader of the nation than the Emperor, but the Royal Family's popularity has been high. The Prime Minister's appointments generally are not challenged by the Emperor.

The Regency Guard

The bodyguards of the Royal Family but are not protectors of the Politically powerful individuals. The Regency Guard conduct many ceremonial duties as well as official duties. They are trained in the use of ancient and traditional weapons as well as modern tactics and arms.

The Official Protectors

These are the protectors of the Prime Minister and the highest political figures in the Arch-Imperium. They often work in conjunctino with the Regency Guard.

</div>

The Judicial system of the Arch-Imperium is responsible for the security of the state, and not necessarily to protect individual rights. However, the Liberal Movement quickly put scrutiny on judges who would sacrifice individual rights to protect those who are in power. Democratic reforms also quickly put into question what was seen as the safety of rights vs the state. Judges are appointed by the Prime Minister and other chief officials such as other local magistrates to assure judicial authority. The Emperor has never intervened on the appointment of a judge. The Judges cannot be removed, even by the Emperor. This is a constitutional practice that would never be permitted to be amended by a movement from the Royal Family. The independence of the Judicial Branch was a movement made by the Prime Minister and the Halls of Deputies and Councilors to assure that there was a balance of power. Judges are alligned to a heirarchy of order, from local town courts, to provincial courts, then to the Imperial Court.

There is a delicate balance of authority in the Arch-Imperium. The Emperor does hold significant more power than elected officials but they can in turn overrule his authority in some matters. There are effectively 800 elected representatives that can oppose an Imperial declaration. It requires a 3/4 majority in the Hall of Councilors and the Hall of Deputies to make this type of legislative order. This type of order effectively makes it immune to Imperial Declarations. The only issue that cannot be used to force through legislation is any regarding the monarchy. Thus the legislature cannot remove the monarchy by using these orders.

Political Parites

Union Socialist Party (USP)

A collection of left wing groups formed the Union Socialist Party on the far left of the political spectrum. The Union Socialist Party believes in big government, very large government and an expansion of seats in both the Hall of Councilors and the Hall of Deputies. In addition the Union Socialist Party believes in a republic system which ranks them low on any votes that come from Monarchists.

Hall of Deputy Seats: 21/300

Hall of Councilor Seats: 34/500

Total Seat Count: 55/800

Progressive Party (PP)

More moderate than the Union Socialist Party the Progressives are the most sociallly liberal and enviornmentally protective of the parties. However like the USP party they are also republicans which is anti-Monarchist.

Hall of Deputy Seats: 40/500

Hall of Councilor Seats: 44/300

Total Seat Count: 84/800

Liberal Democratic Monarchist Coalition (LDMC)

The largest Monarchist political party as well as the most business successful and socially progressive party. The LDMC successfully holds power in both Halls of the Imperial Stratagem and in addition has reigned for more than 80 years.

Hall of Deputy Seats: 259/500

Hall of Councilor Seats: 121/300

Total Seat Count: 380/800

Conservative Alliance (CA)

Also a Monarchist political party, the Conservative Alliance is often dispised by the LDMC and is their biggest rival. The CA however is far more on the far right to the LDMC which puts them in a difficult position to be a moderate party. They are also pro-military.

Hall of Deputy Seats: 165/500

Hall of Councilor Seats: 101/300

Total Seat Count: 266/800

Traditionalists Party (TP)

A militaristic party of far right conservatives. This party has the least support of any group and is the smallest party. They are the only party that does not have a single seat in the Hall of Councilors.

Hall of Deputy Seats: 15/500

Hall of Councilor Seats: 0/300

Total Seat Count: 15/800

Special Economic Zones

To increase foreign investment into the Arch-Imperium, the Imperial Strategem setup a number of Special Economic Zones (SEZ's) to encourage a massive income of money from other nations. These SEZ's are famous for massive tax breaks towards international companies and foreign governments making their land also highly valued. The floating cities are examples of these are are even the large Dynastic-Class Worldships. Though the Worldships are not interpreted as foreign territory, they are under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Stratagem itself.

To allow the concentration of wealth to be more stable, the Xheng Dynastic Territories have been added to this tax exemption district, making the lands surrounding the capital city of Xian a massive tax break area. It is here that many foreign companies setup offices and luxury resorts to cater to their wealthy customers.

Provinces

The Arch-Imperium of the Xheng Dynasty is actually a federal state composed of 6 Imperiums and 1 Territorial posession. Every province has internal domestic politics but they are all overruled by Xi'an's Imperial Stratagem.
