Feel free to request clarification or convey whatever suggestions you may have.

General Premise: The Forbidden City was spared from conflagration; the grand oceanic expeditions that began with 三保太監下西洋 - the travels of Ming admiral Zheng He to the Western Ocean - did not come to an end. Indeed, the Treasure Fleet surged forward to slake the Dragon Throne's righteous thirst with tribute from the barbarian realms at the very ends of the earth.

RP Prompt: Each participant – a single nation or chiefdom of the 1420s (whether of Yingzhou, the Occident, or greater Asia) – is charged with fording the inexorable, sickle-toothed current that is the Middle Kingdom.
