Before the Han Empire 2000BCE - 1392CE

The foundations of the Empire lie in the two Han cultures - Western Han [西韓 (서한)] and Eastern Han [東韓 (동한)]. Western Han culture begins with the rise of Xia [夏] Dynasty, and to the Shang [商] Dynasty, from which the foundations of basic Chinese cultures are derived. The early culture blossomed under the Zhou [周], with the concept of Divine Mandate [天命] becoming a great source of legitimacy and authority for the those in power. However, the stability of the Zhou did not last, as the Western Han states divided into several states, contenting for the right to assume the Divine Mandate. It wasn't until 221BCE that the Qin [秦] Dynasty brought the lands under one rule - from which the Foreigners derive the name "China." It was also under the reign of the Qin that the Empire was formally established. Under the short rule of the Qin, massive efforts were undertaken to standardize the language and measures. Integration and centralization of authority were crucial to found the legal system. However, the policies of the Qin were too oppressive, and a revolt invoked a new dynasty - the Han [漢]. From 206BCE to 220CE [roughly 500 years, the longest period of peace in the Han territories], the Han adopted a Confucian style of governance, which brought harmony to lands and formed the legal and political attitudes of the Han, continuing its influence even to this day. In addition, ethics and standard law procedures were effected, to ensure equal fair treatment of all Imperial subjects. However, corruption gave way to the collapse of the Han, and the dynasty fell into division. By 618CE, the Tang [唐] managed to expand the entire Imperial Domain to its greatest extent [outside of the modern era], stretching as far as the Islamic Caliphates in Central Asia. However, the expansion was so extensive, that military weaknesses soon gave way, and the Tang retreated into collapse.

The Eastern Han began under the reign of Gojoseon [古朝鮮 - the "Go" indicates the "old" or "former" Joseon] in 2333BCE, with the rise of Dangun. Historical analysis for the actual reigns of the Gojoseon are still limited, but much of what can be determined of the Eastern Han mirrors the events in the Western Han, with less calamity. Following Gojoseon, after a many centuries of divided and uncoordinated states, three kingdoms rose in the Joseon area - Baekchae [백제], Shilla [신라], and the greatest of these Goguryeo [고구려]. For a while, the division led internal strife, but eventually, the Shilla managed to conquer all of Joseon, after allying with the Tang [唐], in 668CE. The two states continued separate relations, with Shilla assuming the role of a tributary state of Tang. However, after the Tang collapse in 907CE, stability was hard to maintain, and the kingdom turned over in a coup to the Goryeo [고려] Empire in 938CE. The Goryeo Empire became an ardent Buddhist militant state, but was nonetheless riddled with internal strife, mostly between nobles seeking the power of the state. The Goryeo Empire faced a major crisis with the Mongol invasions of the Western Han in 1209CE and inevitably succumbed to the Mongol invaders later in 1259CE, managing to retain their sovereignty in return to becoming a committed ally of the new Mongol Empire. In the West, the Mongols had conquered the last part of the Song [宋] Dynasty in 1279CE, forming the new Yuan [元] Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty survived until 1368CE, when the Ming [明] began to rise into power.

The situation in Goryeo had stabilized in the many years since the alliance with the Mongol invaders. Although two failed invasions of Japan did drain the economy for a number of years, the Goryeo Empire was strengthened by the trade conducted by the Mongol Empire . When the Yuan Dynasty was under attack by the Ming forces, a rift formed in the Imperial - pro-Ming and pro-Yuan activists began to vy for power. When the Ming sent an envoy to Goryeo in 1388 - concerning the claims of territories under the jurisdication of Goryeo and their return the Western Han - King Yu [우왕] ordered an invasion of Ming, citing the alliance with the Yuan. General Yi Seonggyei [이성계] led an invasion of Liaoning that same year, and swiftly beat back the Ming forces to the former Yuan capital of Dadu [大都] by 1390. Although the Yuan pledged support for the Goryeo attack, they decided to consent to allowing Goryeo take jurisdiction and authority over their territories. Politically, the Yuan were unable to assume control over their former territories and were content to allowing the Goryeo Empire to assume control over the territory. Following the invasion of Ming, General Yi unilaterally declared the ascension of his own Empire - the Han [韓] Dynasty [not to be confused with the earlier Han {漢}]. His first action was to cement an alliance with the Ming, and the Yuan. With that settled, he turned his new conquests back home to Goryeo, where he led the same exact army that conquered the new capital of Hangyeong [한경] to the Goryeo capital in 1392.

The Great Emperors 1392CE - 1494CE

Having cemented his domain, Yi Seonggyei assumed an Imperial name [Taejo (太祖 {태조})] and began to consolidate his position. The territory of Chikyei was declared an Imperial domain and was directly ruled by the Emperor and his advisors. Manchuria was established to control the territory between the capital province and Joseon [조선] - a reference to the first Joseon, and a way to take away the memory of the Goryeo Empire. The Taejo Emperor reigned for 16 years, until he died in 1408, when his son - the Taejong [太宗 (태종)] Emperor - assumed the throne. After his death in 1418, his reign was followed by the Emperor Seijong [世宗大皇帝 (세종대황제)], "the Great". Under Seijong, the Han Empire expanded and established a new writing system, with the intent to make the Han language easier to use and write, called Hunminjeongeum [훈민정음 (訓民正音)]. He also standardized the weights and measures in the Han Empire, unifying the legal codes in a massive reform of the existing systems.

By the time Seijong had ascended the Han throne, the tentative alliance with the Yuan had died out, mostly due to the simultaneous alliance with the Ming. In the 16th year of his reign [1434], Seijong canceled the Yuan alliance and the Han Empire quickly conquered the outer areas [forming the territories, consisting of the remainder of the Manju Province and the entirety of the Monggol Province]. While Han troops reached the new Yuan capital of Khara Khorum, Seijong decided to leave the Yuan dynasty to its own, opting for a more stable vassalization of the state - becoming the first Eastern Han Emperor to institute the tributary system of the Western Han Emperors. Taking opportunity of the fresh territory, Seijong issued a decree, ordering all peoples in the Han Empire to revert to the Eastern Han denomination [韓] in 1448, two years after the advent of the Hunminjeongeum.

Seijong died in the 32nd year of his reign, and passed to his son, the Munjong [文宗 (문종)] Emperor. He died in his 2nd year, and passed the throne to his son, the Danjong Emperor [端宗 (단종)]. The second eldest son of the Emperor Seijong - Grand Prince Suyang [首陽大君 (수양대군)] - seized power in a bloody coup, and forced his nephew to abdicate in 1455 [the 3rd year of the Danjong reign]. Suyang, becoming the Emperor Seijo [世祖 (세조)], initiated a reform of the political system in the Han Empire, centralizing his authority and ruling effectively. He proved his military prowess in his conquest of the Western Frontier [adding the provinces of Taeheang and Gamsuk] in the Year 8 of his reign [1463]. His death five years later left his weak son - Yeijong [睿宗 (예종)] - in power. He died one year later in 1469, and passed the throne to his nephew - Seongjong [成宗 (성종)]. The Seongjong Emperor was a competent leader and finished many of the reformed started by the Taejo, the Seijong, and the Seijo Emperors. However, his death in 1494 left the throne to his despotic son - Yeongsangun [연산군].

Recession and Decline 1506CE - 1608CE

Yeongsangun was deposed in 1506 by a coup, and was succeeded by the Jungjong [中宗 (중종)] Emperor. His early reign was marked by attempts to reform the errors of his half-brother's mishaps. However, misfortune struck in more ways, as the Ming Empire, deciding to claim the Divine Mandate, invaded the Han Empire. Despite having well-fought the war, Jungjong had to concede rights to the Divine Mandate in his 16th year [1522]. Nonetheless, his latter reign was marked with liberalization of the court, to the dismay of many of the older elites. In addition, the strain of the vastly outnumbered Eastern Han [from Joseon] was starting to have its toll on the Imperial Household. To add onto these problems, Wakei pirates from Ilbeon [日本] were increasing their activities in the East Sea. By the time Jungjong died in his 38th year [1544], the Han Empire was nearly bankrupt and left the reign to his ill son - the Emperor Injong [仁宗 (인종)]. Injong was succeeded by his half-brother - the Emperor Myeongjong [明宗 (명종)] - in 1545. Empress Munjeong [the 3rd wife of the Emperor Jungjong] ruled as the Imperial Regent until her death in his 20th year [1565]. By that time, corruption had run rampant, and Wakei pirates were invading Joseon and Manju at will, which would continue until the Imjin Invasion by Hideyoshi in 1592. The death of the Myeongjong Emperor two years later solved nothing, and left the burden of reconstruction on his nephew, the Emperor Seonjo [宣祖 (선조)]. His early reign was marked by steady economic improvement and tackling the problem of the corruption that had accumulated since the incompetent reign of his predecessor.

In his 25th year [1592], Toyotemi Hideyoshi [豊臣秀吉] of Ilbeon [日本] invaded Choseon, with the intention to conquer the Han Empire. Despite losing at first, Seonjo managed to utilize the resources of the Empire to combat the invasion of Joseon, with the military tact of a local naval commander - Yi Sunshin [이순신]. After his clear early successes, with superior naval tactics and technology - nearly annihilating the Ilbeon fleet at Hansando - Emperor Seonjo promoted him to Admiral of the Han Fleet. With effective control of the seas, Seonjo military advisors were able to turn the tide against the Ilbeon Army, who stalled and were unable to continue their conquest. Peace negotiations began in 1593, but due to corruption, the peace process dragged on for 7 years, until Hideyoshi died. With that, the Ilbeon retreated from Joseon and secure peace with the Han Empire in 1598, offering a tribute to secure it.

Concerned about the Han's success against Ilbeon, the Ming Empire invaded Chikyei, and laid siege to Hangyeong. The Han Armies - stuck in Joseon - rapidly made progress, using Admiral Yi Sunshin's navy to land them on the Shandong Peninsula. Since the Han maintained naval superiority, the Ming were unable to hold their siege on Hangyeong, and later lost their principal army in the Northern theater in battle in 1599, near Qingdao. The Ming campaign was largely successful, despite the growing economic woes. Seonjo ended the war with the Ming in his 35th year [1602], having regained the Divine Mandate and the Sandong Province. His death in 1608 was compounded by Admiral Yi's death in 1607 - both events mourned deeply by the Han Empire.

Fall of the Ming and Further Expansion 1608CE - 1863CE

Seonjo's death in 1608 brought the reign of Gwanghaegun [광해군], whose reign was riddled with corruption left from Seonjo's reign. A coup faction overthrew him in 1623, installing his brother - Injo [仁祖 (인조)] - as Emperor. The court took a new decisively anti-Ming position and began the 1625 campaign. The campaign took 46 years to complete, spanning his reign completely to his death in 1649. His successor - Hyojong [孝宗 (효종)] -was chosen to succeed his father, since his older brother had gone away to Europe. Emperor Hyojong began a massive reform of the Han military, banking off the gains from the Ming campaign in 1598. He died in 1659, not able to see the results of his reforms. The Hyeonjong [顯宗 (현종)] Emperor succeeded him and continued his reforms. The new Han Army was successfully tested in 1665, at Chengdu. Within 4 years, the Ming surrendered completely and had ceased to exist.

The Hyeonjong Emperor ended his reign in 1674, having reached about half the size of the Modern Han Empire. It was in this year - after the ascension of the Sukjong [肅宗 (숙종)] Emperor - that the Portuguese mission in Macau began, after years of service under the Ming Empire. Additionally, the Western world began to open to the Han, and Sukjong was open to receive it all. Being the first Emperor of all the Han, Sukjong began a clear program to unify the Empire and make it easier to rule. He was also rather liberal in his ideology, seeking the welfare of his common people often at his own expense. He was dearly loved for this, but his noble court was angered by his apparent lack of diligence in his work. An increasing number of foreigners were appearing and the Han Court was increasingly discomforted by the amount of leniency being granted.

Among the many establishments of the Sukjong reign was the firm establishment of the Kingdom of Joseon - granted to the Go [고] clan, for their faithfulness to the Emperor. In addition, several expeditions against the Western Frontiers led to the eventual acclimation of Yunnam and Seojang Provinces. Conflicts with the Yuan Dynasty were resolved peacefully, continuing to assert the Han Emperor's right to tribute and the Divine Mandate.

The Sukjong Emperor was succeeded by his son - the Gyeongong [景宗 (경종)] - in 1720. His own reign was succeeded in 1724 by his brother - the Yeongjo [英祖 (영조)] Emperor. Under the Yeongjo Emperor, the Han Empire made a massive economic recovery from its wars with Ilbeon and the Ming Empire. Naval reforms became increasingly important as European contacts continued to impress the Han courts, and a liberal ideology filled the courts still. In the 26th year of his reign [1750], a coup attempt was ruthlessly crushed by Yeongjo's supporters and confirmed the stability of his reign. Unfortunately, corruption continued to be a problem, as the growing size of the Empire was making it more difficult for the Emperor to keep his advisors in balance. Nonetheless, the test of his naval advances were realized in the 1769 Spanish war, in which the Han Empire won over rights to the Philippine Islands [Chonamdo (朝南島)]. It was an embarrassment to the Spanish fleet, but after years of mismanagement, the Spanish Pacific Fleet was clearly outmatched by the Han's local fleet, and the acquisition of the Philippine Islands helped to clear the way for naval supremacy in the local seas.

The Yeongjo Emperor was succeeded by his son - the Jeongjo [正祖 (정조)] Emperor - in 1776. Two years later, Shingang Province was added to the Empire [as part of the "New Frontier"]. In 1792, Daemando was added to the list of Imperial domains. The Jeongjo Emperor was succeeded by his son - the Sunjo [純祖 (순조)] Emperor - in 1800. The Sunjo Emperor became the first Emperor to rule over the "Modern" Han Empire, during which he reformed the Imperial system, especially concerning the government style, in an effort to reduce corruption in more distant provinces. The Chonamdo Province was given limited autonomy, under the Yi [이] clan, much like the same arrangement as the Joseon Kingdom. In 1834, Sunjo was succeeded by his son - the Heonjong [憲宗 (헌종)] Emperor. His reign passed with little significance n 1849, and the Choeljong [哲宗 (철종)] Emperor ascended to the throne. In 1863, his death brought the reign of the Emperor Gojong [高宗 (고종)].

Rise of the Modern Empire 1863CE - 2007CE

The Gojong Emperor made many new advances, as the Han Empire's stagnation at the close of the 19th century was causing economic woes in the Empire, and the Imperial Fleet was not well maintained. In addition, internal problems were proving more difficult to handle, for 700 year old dynasty. In addition, the many years of liberalism were challenging the institutions of governance in the Empire, especially with the rise of non-autocratic institutions. Gojong decided to grant limited political power to the common people, and firmly established the equality of all people, abolishing all inherited positions from the government, except for the Imperial house, the Joseon Kingdom, and the Chonamdo Regency. All other positions are elected by the people,and ceremoniously titled in the manner as they would have been. Gojong's reforms inevitably saved the Han Empire from further internal conflict, as the democratic ideals of the modern world proving to be difficult to contain. In his later years, Gojong adopted a constitution, approved by the Imperial Cabinet, although the Imperial Seal is not present on the document, thereby absolving the Imperial House from formally recognizing the document as official [although it is de facto official, according to all subsequent Imperial Decrees]. Since the titles are ceremoniously adopted, people elect officials to serve as leaders in their local communities, and as leaders in their regional communities. All provinces have elected governors, ceremoniously titled as "Dukes" [궁 (公)]. All ministers are elected and ceremoniously titled "Marquis" [참반 (侯)]. All other officials are aptly titled in the Imperial system.

Gojong passed the throne to his son - the Emperor Sunjong [純宗 (순종)] - in 1919. His reign, thought short-lived, was marked by the continuing prosperity earned by his father. In 1926, his death left the Empire to his son - the Myeongjo [明祖 (명조)] Emperor - at a pivotal time, when the Han Empire became an integrated part of the modern world. Economic reforms allowed an increasingly free market in the Empire develop and grow, and other political reforms began to crack into the autonomy of the Han Imperial house, while maintaining the centralized authority. The most important reform was the emancipation of the poor, which in turn freed the working class from the land to which they were previously bound. However, the edict changed very little, as the economic pressures forced many to continue life in bondage. Nonetheless, the Myeongjo Emperor left the Han Empire in a better economic state, although political reforms were becoming dire. In 1970, the Jeongmu [正武 (정무)] Emperor succeeded his father, and continued the economic development programs, bringing a country with a rising population and standard living making it difficult to keep the country in balance. Among the most important renovations of his reign was the Imperial edict of Voluntary Civic Duty in his 5th year [1975]. This declaration became the formal standard of emancipation of the peasantry, allowing them to do whatever they pleased with themselves, and helped to transform the Han Empire into a largely commercial society instead of a agrian society. The Voluntary Civic Duty Edict disallowed forced military conscription, permitted civil militias outside the Imperial Armed Forces, private corporations to effectively police themselves, private citizens to do as they pleased instead of going into forced labor on government projects, and likewise guaranteed every citizen civil rights in accordance with His Imperial Majesty's authority [that is, every person is has the right (1) to render his thoughts freely, those of which do not present explicit harm to the Empire and its citizenry, (2) to congregate in unofficial groups, (3) to petition His Imperial Majesty's government for redress, (4) to defend himself from the irrefutable threats, (5) to live a life in accordance with his own will and desires, (6) to exist in peace and harmony, and (7) to pursue objectives and wishes that do not present explicit harm to the Empire or its citizenry]. The Imperial Edict is among the most liberal in the entire realm, and likewise guarantees equality under the law, as a citizen of Han. Nonetheless, political freedoms were still moderately restricted, more so than when the Nobility was formally abolished. Those displaced nobles were granted redress and likewise authorized to receive a stipend according to his title - but the title itself was confered by his Imperial Majesty, and in accordance with the previous decree, titles were only thereafter present on election, not inhereitance [except the three governships of the Imperial House, the Joseon House, and the Chonamdo House]. His death in 2007 was marked by the ascension of the Gwangmu [光武 (광무)] Emperor.

In the recent age, technological advances in the Han Empire have been marked steadily by the increasing demands of a more modern society. Communication networks are nearly widespread, as the welfare of the Han has become an increasing state priority - more so than in previous ages. Moreover, military demands were severely resisting growth in many civilian areas. Nonetheless, despite these constraints, the Han Empire manages to stay at least on par with some of the modern giants, although economic and technological superiority was reluctantly passed off to the West - an acknowledge that was perhaps centuries late. Nonetheless, realizing the weakness of the Empire in some areas, the Han Empire has managed to maintain and cultivate nationalist sentiments that reflect the diversity of culture and still the uniform nature of the Imperial system as superior to the "reckless expansions" of the West, a policy long cultivated since the Emperor Gojong. Nonetheless, the Han Empire maintains a strong defensive policy of non-aggression and "protectionism". These advances in Imperial policy led to the Han pursuit of nuclear weapons - soon thereafter followed by the first "no first strike pledge" concerning their use. The Han Empire has since led the development of new pursuits - namely "green" technologies, space exploration, and effective civil and military equipment. Even now, the Han Empire seeks to advance its international position as a content giant, a moderator, and as a responsible state dedicated to preserving the harmony and autonomy of its regional partners and those abroad. The Han Empire likewise follows the extensive legacy of the previous Dynasties of the Two Han Peoples, dating back 4000 years and beyond - it can claim to be the oldest unique civilization and imparts to the world its wisdom and character for all to share.

The Empire

The Imperial Government is an effectively centralized system, governed solely by the Emperor. By his mandate and choice, the Government functions as it does, particularly since there is no real effective constitution, although a draft was approved by Emperor Gojong in his late years and is recognized as de facto official. Nonetheless, as part of Imperial recognition of the Confucian ethic, the Emperor willingly imparts a small portion of the political force in the Empire to his subjects - in return, he voluntarily grants those same subjects with numerous civil liberties and rights, notably equality under the law as a citizen of Han. Because of the effective centralization of authority, the government is able to deal directly with provincial problems and crises, although administration is effected by local governments, independent to some part of the Imperial Cabinet and Imperial Ministries.

Imperial Cabinet

The Imperial Cabinet consists of the Governors from all 18 Provinces and their local Ministry Advisors, and the Emperor and his Advisors. The Imperial Cabinet serves as the highest level of executive power, mostly used to confirm Imperial decisions. Every decision of the Imperial Cabinet must pass with the consent of the Emperor and the Prime Minister - who is elected from among the 18 Governors. However, even if the Emperor and the Prime Minister approve a measure, it must pass the other 17 members of the court to be effected as an Imperial Decree. Governors for every province are elected from every province [including Joseon and Jonamdo - which elect "Special Representatives" to serve in the stead of the Kings of Joseon and Jonamdo] by popular vote in provincial elections. The Imperial Cabinet otherwise holds effective power in the Empire, and is among the most cherished of all government positions.

Imperial Ministries

Currently, there are four Imperial Ministries, directed by appointed Ministers [confirmed by the Imperial Cabinet]: Foreign Affairs, Defense, Imperial Affairs, and Treasury. Under these four Ministries are numerous other Imperial Administrations, which is where the majority of the Imperial Government functions and operates. The government is an extensive meritocratic bureaucracy, well furnished but often over extended in terms of manpower. It is this extension that sometimes limits the growth of the Han Empire, and has become an issue worth debate for some time, whether decentralization will help to curb the stresses of the Imperial government's capacity to react.

Imperial Assembly

The Imperial Assembly serves as the official organ of petition and assembly. The Imperial Assembly is open to all citizens of the Empire, who may address their redresses in front of other citizens. Any person may enter the Imperial Assembly and offer petitions and suggestions for consideration, although all measures that leave the Imperial Assembly must pass with a 2/3 majority before being presented to the Imperial Court. Since the Imperial Assembly is open to all citizens, no elections and terms are required, although the Assembly establishments in the capitals and special cities are guarded by ICDU troops to prevent reckless use of power. Furthermore, people are not sponsored to make these amendments.

Provincial Ministries

Each Province is responsible for its own administration. In the process, the people of each Province elects it own Governor and Ministers to serve along with him. The most important position is perhaps that of Governor, since his position interacts directly with the Emperor and Imperial Law. However, the majority of the administration in each province is committed by local governments under regulation by Imperial accords. The benefit is that each province boasts the same governmental services to every province - but this often comes at a cost of necessity, whether such services are needed or not. Although independent from the Imperial Ministries, they are almost exclusively financed by the Imperial Treasury, considering the uniform taxation of all Imperial subjects.

THE CITIZEN

The culture of the Han Empire is largely founded in the plethora of religious identities - Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, local animism, Islam, and Christianity. Buddhism and Confucianism have had the longest and most prevalent effect on Han culture. Confucianism has affected more the civil structure of society than the religious pursuits of individual people, and thus the effects of Confucianist thought are more easily noticed. In Confucianism, there are five principle levels of human interaction: an emperor to his subject, a father to his son, a man to his wife, an elder to the youth, and a friend to his friend {these interactions are arranged by the person with the most authority to the person with less, except in friendship, in which the two persons are equal}. On each level of these interactions, each person is obliged to pay respects to the other - more so by the less authoritative person than the more authoritative person. The Confucian ethic has changed over the years, to the point where men and women are accorded the status of friendship than to assume that men are naturally superior to women {although the cultural biases still remain}. It has also been modified to permit the system to be egalitarian - the Emperor grants his people rights and responsibilities in return for their favor. The system has become mutual such that the people are accorded these rights as part of their citizenship to Han, whereas the Han Emperor can only accord these rights by their consent. Of course, the system is based on the right of the Han Emperor and his Divine Mandate to rule; there is no absolute rule of law that states the Emperor's obligation to fulfill his responsibilities as a benevolent leader.

Yet, it is because of the system that the benevolent leader is born. Another precept of the Confucian tradition states that all people must be educated. It is not so much a reason to send all citizens of Han to school, but more so that each citizen knows his/her place in society and understands it well. The Confucian tradition blames the inadequacies of man to be the root of his ignorance, and therefore it is necessary for the Emperor to instruct all of his subjects to be noble and civil beings - model citizens of the world {all under Heaven}. If a person acts unruly, it is probably because he has never been instructed to act properly - and therefore, with sufficient discipline {i.e. punishment for wrong actions, rewards for right actions}, a person can become a model citizen.

In addition, in part to Confucian concepts of piety, the past is greatly celebrated. Ancestors are remembered at every possible moment; memorials to great people of the past are everywhere, in the forms of temples, monuments, and shrines dedicated to their essence. Because the past builds on itself to form the present, the blessings of the present are shared with the past. On certain days, it is part of the Imperial tradition to mandate a holiday to all citizens of Han to celebrate their ancestors; for this reason, it is hard for the Han to let loose the past to make way for the future, although in the modern age, it has become increasingly difficult for citizens to pay respects to ancestors, with the globalization of markets and massive advances in transportation to bring people apart. Nonetheless, people from all heritages make some effort to return home to celebrate the blessings of the new eras and join in festivities dedicated to the memory of their past, to recognize their contributions to the model state of Han.

Notwithstanding, other cultures have had their influence on the Han system, more so in the modern age than in previous centuries. Since the reign of Emperor Gojong (1863-1919) - the first of the true modern Emperors - liberal ideologies began to proliferate into the perceptions of the Han. Popular rule was a strong force particularly, and while the Emperor Gojong could not assert it completely, he had to concede some portions of the right to rule. As part of a compromise in his ascension year, he abolished the formal aristocracy that ruled the lands, although Imperial pensions would be paid to those who had been deprived. Additionally, all gubernatorial positions were open to elections for the first time - and surprisingly the majority of the former Dukes were elected as continuing dukes of their realms. The exceptions to these rules included Joseon and Jonamdo, where kingdoms were already established. In those places, a Special Administrative Representative was elected in place of a Governor, who would represent the affairs of the two Kingdoms in the Imperial Cabinet - another concession in the Compromise. Although the Emperor retained firm and absolute political power, he had to share the mechanisms of his power with the Governors in order to accomplish any positive objectives. This balance of the Imperial system with a modern liberalized democratic system helped to stabilize the Empire; consequently, the reforms in fact helped to strengthen the power of the Emperor, who retained the legitimacy of his rule by the consent of his people and likewise eliminated a number of aristocratic rivals to his power. Additionally, the pensions eliminated helped to spur economic growth in other directions and allowed state-mediated development on a larger scale than before.

However, the reforms were not entirely sufficient. While the aristocracy was abolished, ironically, the peasants remained in bondage to the rich folk of their counties - a condition that threatened to spawn a citizen's soviet in Sachoen {Sichuan} Province. The Emperor Myeongjo (1926-1970) firmly and resolutely abolished serfdom in the Han Empire, instituting equal opportunities for all citizens. It was the second of the major reforms that came to define Han citizenship. It formally eliminated economic tensions between classes and opened all people to success or failure. The significance of the emanicipation edict was more so politically - because up until that time, only former nobility posed any possibility in running for elections, although locally, emancipation in the provinces {Shingang, Seojang, Gamsuk, Monggol, Manju, Wunnam} predated the formal Imperial emancipation. The greatest significance of the edict was the irrevocable guarantee of Imperial rights, services, and opportunities to all citizens - the first major step to introducing equal status of all Han citizens - and sponsoring the egalitarian nature of the Confucian system.

Nonetheless, another problem began to manifest itself in the latter years of the Myeongjo era - tensions that resulted from the Imperial institution of conscription. The conscription issue was contentious, because even all citizens were considered equal, it only opened citizens to opportunities if they could afford the wealth to become equal. Frequently, Imperial subjects with vast wealth could pay large sums of money to guarantee "more rights" than the common people, including the right to bypass mandatory conscription. The people also noticed that the same people could "pay for rights" - to speak, to petition for redress, to act in functions not normally accorded to common people. The Emperor Myeongjo attempted to resolve the circumstances, but his death in 1970 precluded any Imperial conclusion. The Emperor Jeongmu (1970-2006) finished the product of his father's business - Imperial Edict of Voluntary Civic Duty of the 5th Year of the Emperor Jeongmu. This edict guaranteed all citizens rights regardless of economic or social status, and cemented exactly what rights are accorded to citizens of Han; it furthermore forbade bribery of His Imperial Majesty's officers, in an effort "to place an advantage not otherwise present to all citizens of Han."

The three reforms form the basis of the Modern Han citizen, and how they act. They are normally named in terms of their specific reform changes - (1) Political Emancipation; (2) Socioeconomic Emancipation; and (3) Civil Emancipation. The three edicts together - in addition to the ancient and venerable Analects of Gongja {Confucius} - have since their inception greatly impacted Han society and what it means to be Han. Nonetheless, cultural biases are still present - even after the abolition of the formal aristocracy; and though the 21st Century is proving to be a new century of progress and development in the Han Empire, the traditions of the 4000-year old Han civilization are difficult to change in the modern age.

花郞國仙
화랑국선

Hwarang Immortals


Established by the 24th King of Shilla {신라 (新羅)}, the Hwarang Knights have risen and protected the state of Joseon and the neighboring lands, bringing superior martial arts skills to the Western Han and other regions. This modern order reflects the primary purposes of the original order - loyalty to the Emperor, piety to elders, trust among friends, glory in battle, and living the just life. At the moment, there are seven levels of Hwarang Immortals:

花郞天 (화랑천)
Hwarang Cheon (Heavenly Hwarang)

---Royal Hwarang---

Members of the Hwarang Cheon (HRC) are select members of the Hwarang from all lifestyles who have shown nobility and integrity in their pursuits. They are chosen as the Emperor's personal guard and are especially trained in martial arts of all varieties. They are experts in counterintelligence, unarmed combat, armed combat, and other venerable techniques of ensuring security for the Emperor. It has been tradition that the Emperor is himself a member of the HRC - as its head, and although this practice had declined, the past Emperors have encouraged the tradition to regain prominence as a method of teaching valuable martial arts skills and practical means of self-defense when no other means exist. Selected members are chosen to accompany the Emperor everywhere, while others are chosen to guard the Palaces. The traditional Han garb is the usual uniform, although some undercover HWC will dress in modern attire to confound unsuspecting enemies.

花郞金 (화랑금)
Hwarang Geum (Golden Hwarang)

---Noble Hwarang---

Members of the citizenry are selected to lead the Noble Hwarang - they are average people who have volunteered to go beyond the simple tasks of the average person to give more to the Han. They serve as auxiliaries to the police and local government services, often the first source of charity in a neighborhood before the poor turn to the government welfare offices. They also enforce the laws with honesty and valor, serving as ideal citizens.

Members:
Kim Yongdae {金龍大 (김용대)}


花郞氣 (화랑기)
Hwarang Gi (Air Hwarang)

---Air Force Hwarang---

The Air Force's Elite Soldiers are conscripted to the Hwarang officially in special units. They are form the elite squadrons of the Han Empire and are considered the supreme in aerial combat.

花郞水 (화랑수)
Hwarang Shu (Sea Hwarang)

---Naval Hwarang---

Elite members of the Navy are conscripted to the Hwarang fleet, where they serve as the elite naval force in the Han Empire.

花郞火 (화랑화)
Hwarang Hwa (Fiery Hwarang)

---Army Hwarang---

Elite members of the Army are conscripted to the Hwarang Army, officially in special units. They form the background of the Han Empire's Armed Forces, and when employed they ensure victory for all Han wherever and whenever they fight. They are the force with which to be reckoned.

花郞月 (화랑월)
Hwarang Weol (Moon Hwarang)

---Intelligence Hwarang---

The official organ of Han Intelligence in the Empire, the HRW extends the practical and covert knowledge of All under Heaven to the Han Emperor. The HRW are trained professionals, skilled in martial arts and make good on their missions to ensure success for the Han wherever and whenever they strike. They employ anonymity to save Han from covert threats and use all methods at their disposal to effect the Will of the Han Emperor to guard the Celestial Regency.

花郞日 (화랑일)
Hwarang Il (Sun Hwarang)

---Youth Hwarang---

Young children volunteer to join the Sun Hwarang (HRI) to become ideal citizens of the Han Empire; they are encouraged as youth to learn martial arts, to discover the world, to embrace history, and to endow respect to all peoples.

HAN EMPIRE LAUNCHES NEWEST LINE OF DESTROYERS

http://navy.korea.kr/goNewsRes/attaches/2007.05/25/ebcef28608f5aeda9cf722f69bcb5986.jpg

The Han Empire has recently launched the next development of indigenously developed naval crafts recently in Ulsan, as the "Sejong the Great"-class destroyer left for sea for the first time. Although the ship is to undergo strenuous testing over the next couple of months, plans are already underway to introduce the new class into the modern fleet. The "Sejong" class features a new development in anti-aircraft/missile defense technology, as well as improving the standards for naval missile attack platforms. In this world, the missile has become the platform of attack and defense, and the Han Empire has actively pursued active and passive defenses to counter this threat. By carrying this missile capability into the sea, the Han Empire is now able to counter attacks from its shores, closing among its most vulnerable accesses to national security.

The Gwangmu Emperor was unable to attend, despite intentions by the Imperial Family to attend. In his place, the Kings of Joseon and Jonamdo were present, with King Go Sanmu leading the remarks - "Today, we witness what power is in our minds. In due time, we will show the world what the Han are truly capable of doing, in war and in peace. And this long road so far, we have proven ourselves many times over as not only capable but even competent and superior. But our character shall guide us truly, and our humility shall win the hearts of the world, as our navy protects and defends the seas of all lands."

a short post for today for an early day tomorrow

His Imperial Majesty - in the interest to opening diplomatic contacts with the world, has authorized the re-established the Academy of Foreign Affairs, first established by the Gojong Emperor to manage contacts with the lands West of Han. They are expected to open shortly to open to diplomatic contacts.

[OOC: Not bad. Good job, Daehanjeiguk! Since this is essentially what would have happened had Korea and China became a unified national portmaneau, so to speak, I take it that you're of Asian descent?]

[OOC: Not bad. Good job, Daehanjeiguk! Since this is essentially what would have happened had Korea and China became a unified national portmaneau, so to speak, I take it that you're of Asian descent?]

Absolutely! And thanks for the compliments!



also, some administrative stuff:

The AICC is going to be updated sometime to account for motor vehicles, so I don't only have to sell weapons and stuff. I am still looking for advice about it, since I have yet to receive any buys for anything. Maybe lack of interest? Maybe not user-friendly? I don't know, but if people will be kind enough to tell me, maybe I can fix stuff.

The Art of War is going to have a hiatus for a few days, until I can spend some good quality time on it. If you want to give feedback, this is the best place (ooc of course!)

That's about it. Critiques are always welcome.

updates in general:

I'm postponing future work in the Art of War until I can pry myself from a new game :p

I'm planning work on the AICC too, but I can't guarantee it either.

On other reports, I hope to make a new Secret Service Agency that will begin espionage and counterintelligence operations soon. Don't expect too much from it for now though.

^^ tata for now

The Imperial Cabinet has approved proposals from the AICC Board to consider a domestic program to develop naval aircraft carriers to support the force-projection capabilities of the Empire in defense of civilization against anarchic forces. The project aims to have a home-built aircraft carrier with a complement aircraft for use within 15 years. Having spent the past decade reviewing existing models, Han engineers feel that they have enough knowledge to begin such a momentous event, which they chided as follows: "a logical step, considering we have spacecraft to take us to the Heavens, but not even one ship that can send our planes safely and in combat form to the shores of our nearest enemies."

The Emperor Gwangmu has made it a priority to improve the force projection capabilities of the Empire, having attained sufficient defensive capabilities against most enemies.

The Emperor has granted a new charter for the Imperial Football Association {大韓蹴球協會 (대한축구협회)}, as the official organ of Football affairs in the Empire. Having appointed a new commissioner, the Association is aiming to promote football as a nation sport, with the modern variety loosely similar to the local chukguk - argued as the first form of football in the world. At the moment, plans are underway to form a National Football League, offering citizens of Han opportunities to rally around a national effort that isn't commercial, military, or otherwise stressful. The Imperial Government has opened the Football Association with generous donations from private contributors (including the Emperor himself) and the Agency for Imperial Contracts.

The Imperial Football Association has updated information, detailing the changes and additions made as it blossoms into a true sports organization.

Hyeondae Heavy Industries announces the completion of the first aircraft carrier for the Imperial Han Navy. The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was celebrated in Sanghae, from which the new aircraft carrier will undergo sea-worthiness trials before its official commission into the Imperial Navy. The AIC announced the near completion of the first aircraft capable of launch from a naval vessel, due in a few months.

OOC updates

For everyone not already familiar with my style of writing, I'll say it plainly now, even though it's already in my sig.

GREEN means it's ooc text. I usually encase the text in green, to distinguish it from the typical black text.

BLUE means it's ic text. I usually do nothing for ic, especially if it's an ic only thread. But if I've written some ooc like I'm doing now, I'll encase "IC" in blue, to signify the transition.

RED means it's sic text. I always encase "SIC" or whatever the label is at the time in red, to signify that it's secret knowledge.



Now for updates.

I'm currently working on Chapters 10 through 13 of the Art of NS War, which reputedly has been well liked by many people. That said, I would appreciate it if people used the Nsdraftroom to send me critiques and comments, since it's more open to me and other people (and edits!). Once I'm done with the 13 Chapters, I will open the thread to general comments and even ic discussions.

For my new football league (soccer), I plan to complete an entire season's worth of playing soon, as I begin to figure out how to scorinate via Excel (it's not terribly hard, but it will take some time).

Also, I've started an NSwiki article about my country, which I hope to complete in the coming weeks. Like all things about my country, I'd appreciate critiques about it. The link is in my signature.

That should be all for now. I have more stuff planned for the future, including a new public broadcast station for my country, complete with soap dramas and the evening news - but that's all for the future.

Absolutely! And thanks for the compliments!



also, some administrative stuff:

For that, it's a matter of doctrine and taste (re: weaponry). And you make a near-perfect candidate...too bad you incorporated Korea and China far too much, and it's pretty realistic and convincing...so CLOSE!!! (BTW, I do mean no offense...you so very nearly fit the bill for a northern neighbor, there can be no USAN without a China, a Korea, or a Japan, or as a collective, the northeast Asian countries!)

hmmm... thanks?

If I were to fit anywhere in the world, I'd probably say the farthest east that exists at all, so don't worry about me not fitting - I'm probably farther east than what the map suggests :D. Although I'm still not certain how I am too much like China and/or Korea...

The Imperial Navy has approved the new line of aircraft carriers - the HGMH-1. The first carrier - named "Emperor Taejo" - has been commissioned, and the remaining batch of aircraft carriers is awaiting further production. This declaration was complemented by a declaration from the Agency for Imperial Contracts, announcing completion of test trials of the JTG-4, the first domestically developed naval-based aircraft fighter. It is considered the next line in fighter design and plans are being made to convert it into a superior land variant fighter.

The Imperial Family was joined in the Summer Palace in Gwangju today by all members of the BoF winning team of the Imperial Han Football Team. All members were personally greeted by the Emperor, as Kim Yongdae - Man of the Tournament - stood up to receive an induction into the Hwarang Geum, as an honorary member. After meeting with each of the players, the Emperor Gwangmu offered comments to the team and the Empire: "We are truly blessed to have such spectacular players represent the Great Han in this sport. We are confident that they will perform magnificently against even greater teams as they go into the World Cup Qualifying Stage. They will certainly give All under Heaven something to marvel for the years to come!"

After a long wait and absence of information, the Imperial Family has released information concerning the birth of a new daughter.

Princess Yi Sunjeong [이순정공주 (李純貞公主)] is the second child of the Imperial Family - the Emperor Gwangmu and the Empress Myeongsuk. She is currently in excellent health, and despite earlier fears of illness, the Imperial Daughter is doing well in her pre-school activities. The Imperial Family has also released information stating that they would not be seeking to have a third child anytime soon.

The Imperial Family has ordered an internal edict, declaring that no future king may espouse more than one wife at one time. While moralists have claimed victory by maintaining decency within the Imperial House, and some noted purists claiming that a single matriarchal lineage will bring great fortune to the Imperial house, the Imperial edict was declared by the Imperial Office Secretary as a means to prevent political instability caused by numerous lineages. In the past, numerous queens gave rise to numerous princes and their clans - these clans each created their own claim to the Imperial crown, in two instances historically giving rise to Imperial pretenders. To prevent such events in the future, Emperor Gwangmu declared that no Emperor may espouse more than one wife for the next 3600 years (the number of years required to complete 60 cycles in the Han calendar), and that for the same period, this edict may never be displaced by a future edict.

The Office concluded the declaration, offering the people many blessings for this new year period.

The Ministry of Defense has announced long-time plans for the final preparations for a "remodel" of the Imperial Army's organization structure. The modifications are set to be the largest in modern times, and while not incorporating a large amount of "foreign" goods, the objective is to make the Imperial Army much more streamline and easier to manage. The division remains the largest active unit denomination, but the lowest deployment shall be become the regiment.

Also with the recent Emperor's stroke, plans are expected for the transfer of power from the Emperor to the Crown Prince. No final word is expected for some time, but expectations are high for such an event.

ooc: on account of the limited capacity of my TG box, and repeated times that I've lost important TGs to the overflow, I've opened a gmail account: (daehanjeiguk@gmail.com) to help keep with the recordkeeping and stuff. So if you've got an important message for me that you suspect will be lost, please email it to me. If you're concerned about random people looking up your email info, just make a generic email account like I did; safe for the most part.

With the succession of the Emperor Yeongmu, the military plans to revitalize the forces has been submitted to the Imperial Cabinet for final review. The Imperial Army is to be standardize to the regiment, with divisions being forced as needed within theaters. The regiment allows for greater mobility of Imperial forces, while also permitting large standing forces to operate and mobilize at any moment. There are current plans to establish 384 active regiments and 150 reserve regiments, to provide a standing combat force of some 2,000,000 soldiers, with an accompanying logistics operation involving about 3,000,000 persons. Plans for revitalization of the navy and air force are still underway, while the Marine Corps is expected to follow the same procedures as the Army - excepting the accompanying changes in naval deployments. Additionally, the excessively large Civil Defense Militia is under consideration for extreme revisions, as the practice of mandatory conscription and civilian Community Defense Initiatives has rendered the Militia Service unnecessary.

This Factbook Thread will eventually be put out of service and made way for a new factbook thread.

In the meantime, the Imperial Ministry of Domestic Affairs has announced that Manju Province will be divided into three new provinces:

Manju Province (capital: Hapibin)
Balhae Province (capital: Shimyang)
Hokyong Province (capital: Yonghae)
