@dis, I didnt notice that Nan Ming wasnt taken yet...and since Bananalee decided to take the White Malayans..and since I KNOW how much kal wanted Acolhuan (my heart gets the better of me again), I'm going to switch to the Nan Ming Empire.
- Nan Ming Empire.
Capital: Nanjing
Ruler:
Government: Divine Monarchy
Centralization: Federation
Tech. Level: Middle Age of Reason
Army (Training): 50 Divisions (Semi-Rabble)
Navy (Training): 15 Squadrons (Tolerable)
Economy: Growing (+2)
Size (points required): Huge (5)
Leadership (Military/Civilian): Better/Competent
Infrastructure: Improving
Education: Well Educated
Living Standards: Normal
Culture: Strongly Cultured
Confidence: Resentful
Projects:
Nation Background: Most Emperors of the 17th century were pathetic weaklings, and Ming authority disintegrated all over China not the best of times to do so as Mongol Barbarians, the Japanese and the Later Jin all wanted a piece of the pie. The Japanese took Korea whilst the Jin under Nurhachi (declaring himself emperor of china) overran the north. The Chongzhen Emperor retreated south and with benevolent influence of General Yong Chonghuan and several advisors, begun to reorganize the empire. This was perhaps a good thing as the reformed, reorganized and revived empire defeated the rebels, and halted the Jin in central China with their "Inner Great Wall". Bitter at the defeat still, the Nan Ming fought and lost wars with Japan in the 60s and Dai Viet in the 80s, but they are still hungry for revenge and expansion. The liberal-merchentile and the Confucianist-Agricultural elements have bitterly divided the nation in recent times. Will the Nan Ming heal their rifts and regain what they believe is rightly theirs (and some other lands as well)?
