The first dynasty, which was the "Man Dynasty" lasted for around 500 to 600 years where at that time kingdom have nine major states in reign. "Emperor Tabata Tokuma" was granted rule over "Kindgom Man Hu" as the seventh emperor because he was a descendant of the ancient political advisor that helped overthrown the previous tyrant. "Man Dynasty" was ended by the assassination of "Emperor Tabata Tokuma" , words said that it was "Emperor's brother Tajima Tokuma" who had killed him and usurp the throne. "Tabata's brother", which changed his name and was known as "Emperor Ishin", ruler of the second dynasty - "Hu Dynasty" which lasted about 600 to 700 years. There was a warring states period right after the ascension of "Emperor Ishin", there were five major states vying for dominance. The rulers of these states styled themselves as kings, rather than using the titles of lower nobility they had previously held. However, none of the five states elevated "Ishin" to believe that he had the "The Will of Heaven" as his brother once claimed, nor that he had the right to offer sacrifices. The alliance of five major attacked "Kingdom Man Hu" from three different direction but "Ishin" was recognized as one of the best strategist during that time and he eliminated the armies of the alliance and took him only 7 years to suppress the warring states and united them as one. "Kingdom Man Hu" was at peace for almost 300 years after the end of the warring period under the rule of "Ishin Royal Family". Around the early eighteen century, the rising number of republic nations, frustration caused by the revolutionist to reform and by the kingdom's weakness, young officials, military officers, and students began to advocate the overthrow of the "Hu dynasty" and the creation of a republic. They were inspired by the revolutionary ideas of other republic nations and also the woman that caused all the uprisings around the country, "Mita Nishi". The first revolutionary military uprising, the "Mita Uprising", began on 9th April 1920, in the capital city - "Imuhari". The provisional government of the "Republic Empire of Dong Wei" was formed in "Imuhari" on 20th May 1923. The revolution ended 1300 years of dynastic rule in "Kingdom Man Hu".

[/hider]Religion: [hider=Religion] Ic'hanto is the largest religion in Dong Wei, praticed by nearly 97% of the population, the religion focused on ritual practices to be carried out diligently, to establish a connection between the present day and its ancient roots. The combination of the words "Ic'han(The god and goddess)" and "To(Philosophical path/way)" togather formed the meaning of "the philosophical path of the gods" in their langugae. The oldest recorded usage of the word Ic'hanto is probably from the second half of the 5th century. It was believed that Ic'hanto was originally just a collection of native beliefs and mythology but the Ic'hanto practices were first recorded and codified in a few historical records in the 6th century. Ic'hanto today is a term that applies to the religion of public shrines devoted to the worship of a multitude of gods (Ic'han), suited to various purposes such as harvest festivals and applies as well to war memorials and various sectarian organizations. Practitioners express their diverse beliefs through a standard language and practice, adopting a similar style in dress and ritual. Ic'hanto has over 66,000 shrines and around 37,000 priests in the country. There are only two deities in Ic'hanto, the first is "Ic'han Kal'dimouris" - She may also be referred to as The Goddess of Life and Death (Gisrodim K'alaloour Dimourise'm). For many reasons, one among them being her ties to the Imperial family, she is often considered (though not official) to be the "primary god" of Ic'hanto. "Ic'han li'sdhimen'tadumli's, althought that he was most recognized by the name - The God of Revenge and Torture(Gisrodim Ii'sdumli's). Ii'sdumli's is the less mentioned god as he was mostly only mentioned togather with curse words, for example "I hope you see Ii'sdumli's soon!" can be translated as "I hope you go to hell soon!" or "I hope you will die soon!". The followers of Ic'hanto believes that Kal'dimouris rules the universe, create the earth they currently living in and have infinite powers. Those who had done good in their life will be sent to The Heaven Palace(Heisdhimena) to stay beside with the gods, in the other hand those who had done bad will be sent to The Burning Sea(Hekori S'inis) and be punished by The God of Revenge and Torture. There is in fact, 1 to 2% of population embraced the Ajdar Faith, which was originally came from The Sultanate of Tin and missionaries were sent mostly to the West side of Dong Wei. Temples of Ajdar Faith can be found in several places of the West side of the nation but there is only seven temples of Ajdar Faith currently. There was a sentence written in a historical book about Ic'hanto, "Ru'omiourh Atal'ik Alagisla Parsin Iruldim Dimro Gi'smarsdim." which means "Respect other way of gods(religions) and be good." This was why both followers of Ic'hanto and Ajdar Faith can lived peacefully together in Dong Wei.

Mountains can be seen everywhere but the longest mountain chain can be found stretching from the most North part of Dong Wei, to the North East of the country. The only part that was caught by the desert was the South West part of Dong Wei. The land was flat and barren. The nomad’s called it Devil’s solarium. Only the odd brittle bush broke up the emptiness of the desert. There are two islands at the South East part of the country which are mostly flat and fertile. The Republic Empire of Dong Wei contains thirteen provinces/states, including the two islands on the east. Unlike most of the other countries, each provinces have their own capital city which are the most populated and modernized area in the country. There are a total of 134 cities and villages established in Dong Wei. [/hider]Economy: [hider=Economy] [list] The main resources that Dong Wei have are silver, gold, coals and irons which are largely extracted from most of the mountains in Dong Wei while the forests provides timbers. Titanium can only be found at the mountains in the East part of the country, since titanium are only enough for the country's own usage it was labelled as a non-tradable resource. Most of the food sources are coming from the two islands as both of the island are mostly fertile, while both hunting and fishing are minor food sources for the country. Dong Wei are famous for raising up swift horses which most of the other countries can't compete, so the [i]Xun Breed Horses[/i] are considered exotic resource. Dong Wei has their own currency which is called - Stoss. Dong Wei are a half self-sufficiency nation as it has enough materials for constructions, foods and luxury goods for the population's demand. But Dong Wei do not has the resources to mass product war machines or firearms so the nation usually import war machines or firearms from the other nations. Republic Empire of Dong Wei carry out mixed economic system but the nation was using command economic system before the republic empire was formed. The early Dong Wei economy was characterized by smaller, local markets, centered around big cities. The vast expansion of the railroads in the late 1800s changed this, tying the country together into one national market, in which goods could be shipped for sale across the country. The railroads also provided a tremendous impetus to economic growth because they themselves provided such a massive market for goods – silver, coal, gold and lumber, for example. In the late nineteenth century the railroads represented the first "big business." The railroad industry was the largest single employer of labor in the Republic Empire of Dong Wei, and helped standardize the nation economically, socially, and culturally. Farmers, ranchers, fishermen, hunters are the primary jobs for those who stay outside the big cities and an estimated 88% of the populations of the two islands were doing food-related jobs for living. As the country expanded and industrialized, increasing emphasis was placed upon mass production and mass distribution. By speeding up production and increasing the output of goods, an industry could lower costs and maximize profits. Industrial areas are usually formed near the mountains which separated from both cities and countryside to reduce pollution. [/list] [/hider]Technological Overview: [hider] [list] [*]Non-Military Technology: Due to the food shortages few decade ago, Dong Wei's scientists spent most of their time researching and inventing new tools and method to produce more foods. In year 1690, The modern manufacturing began with steam engines and pistons replacing animal and human labor. For the past two hundred years, scientists were always improving and inventing the previous machinery to match the progression of the time. [*]Military Technology: The land and air force of Dong Wei are considered to be average when comparing with the other nations. The forces are not bad to a point where they will lose every war they in, but the equipment and machines used by Dong Wei's land and air force are just not advanced enough. But Dong Wei do think proudly about their navy force as they are capable of constructing bigger, faster, or deadlier battleships. Dong Wei is able to choose whether to build huge amount of ships in a short time, or to build powerful ships which will consume more times and only small amount can be built at the same time.
