I am interested in this! I want to bring the monarchy back to China! Even if it destroys me!

I have one question: Since there are European colonies nearby China and Asia, are they going to be apart of this roleplay and the storylines of China?

As Clock said, the leased colonies will slowly bleed Western influence into China. This isn't limited to just the areas around Hong Kong and Macoa (i.e. Guangdong), but the further you get from the coast the lesser the impact. Also, the German colonies don't exist in this timeline [s]because I completely forgot about them.[/s]

I will start working on my character sheet tomorrow, it's quite late here actually at the moment. (I live in Europe.) So it should be up once you are sleeping or when the lot of you are waking up. (That is assuming most of you folks are American.) I'm not to good with the whole map/paint usage thing so I would appreciate it if the host could colour the area of Ningxia for me. If my claim is accepted that is.

Side note: Lennon, i've noticed that the area you currently have, including the small strip of land connected to main land China, has a population of 15.9 million people today. Yet you only have a population of 2.5 million in your character sheet. I don't know much about population growth but to me it seems as though you should be able to increase your population to 4.5 million even, or 5 million maybe. Just a suggestion of course, was just making an observation.

I'm as British as they come, so a lot of the OOC activity seems to be when I'm asleep... But yes. Most of the census data I've found says that Hainan Island alone had a population of around 3 mil, but I decided to lower it in order to artificially weaken the Peninsula; the idea I'm going for is a small state with a relatively weak army and small but strong navy. Jiang won't be a major player in many land wars. That said, I might boost it to 5mil if everyone else's states continue to be so massive...

[@Bright_Ops] Is your CS finished? As for the Qing, the only three remaining named character is the rightful Emperor Pu Yi, who was smuggled out of the country by a small band of his most loyal retainers, about twelve senior ministers and military commanders. He is still a child though and is being raised by the Japanese court, with all the implications that entails. There are also a handful of minor cousins and such that can be used if something untoward were to happen to young Pu Yi.

Also Stein (and Clock actually), I'd have preferred you post your CSs to the OOC first as per what I said in the initial post, but what's done is done. Anyways, the Ma Clique is accepted.

Also, haha congreves... When I go on events the KGA always have their damn congreves firing over our heads. You die halfway up the field only to have a rain of sticks falling on you for the rest of the battle...

Also also, can everyone make sure that their warlord's names are in the correct Chinese order, i.e. family name first. Makes things less confusing.
