POLITICS: Structure of Government

Executive
The Great Empire of Kannex is led by an Emperor, who is a constitutional monarch, albeit one with much power. He is the head of state and commander-in-chief of all military forces. His usual full style in English is His Majesty the Emperor, the Reverend (name) of the Great Fureisuthu Dynasty, Son of Heaven, the Ten Thousand Year Lord of Kannex, Kaiser of Koenigfaste, Supreme Commander of the Imperial Kannexian Armed Forces. In Kannexian that is Se'ong-Shang Dai Fureisuthu Jyeu zhi _____-sama Huang-Tei Himana-Tzie Byei-Xya, Kannex de Man-Nyen Gye, Ko'enifas de Kaiser, Tei-Kuo Giuen-Duei zhi Zoong-Shii, literally "the Holiness, Great Fureisuthu's reverend Dovira, Emperor, Son of Heaven, Majesty, Kannex's Ten Thousand Year Lord, Koenigfaste's Kaiser, Empire Military's Commander".

Aside from his standard title, he is often given several semi-official honorary titles from the Imperial Government or the populace. Many of these titles were given during the totalitarian rule of the second Fureisuthu ruler, Emperor Gyotai. His elder brother and predecessor, Emperor Dovira (known as the Wo-Myo Emperor) was posthumously called the "Great Architect of the Great Empire" [Tei-Kuo zhi Dai Chong-Tzao-Je], "Eternal Judge of Kannex" [Kannex de Wing-Vyen Shie-Shii], and "First Shyaburi (Kannexian warrior) of the Great Empire" [Dai-Tei-Kuo de Sin Shyaburi]. Emperor Gyotai, meanwhile, is known as the "Ajia's North Star" and "Savior of Kannex". In Koenigfastian German, he is known as "der Kaiser" [the Emperor].

The Emperor is a semi-divine figure who is worshiped fanatically by some followers. His word is law among ultra-nationalist groups, and an insult towards him is considered an insult towards the entire nation, and one such insult must be avenged with blood. Thus, critics of the Emperor often live in fear of such ultra-nationalist groups.

Day-to-day governance of the nation falls to the Prime Minister, who exercises executive power in the name of His Majesty and the nation. The Prime Minister is called the "democratic face" of the nation, despite the fact that the Prime Minister is not directly elected by the people, but rather appointed by the Emperor on the advice of Parliament.

A significant part of the executive branch is the Imperial Court, the extended household of the Emperor and his Imperial Family. The Privy Council is the advisory council of the Emperor, advising him on many key decisions regarding both national affairs and palace issues.

Legislative
The Imperial Parliament is the legislative body of Kannex. Its laws must be given the Imperial Assent (or Royal Assent) before they are officially passed. It is rare for the Emperor to withhold Imperial Assent. Parliament consists of two houses.

The Senate consists of 60 members, with each Province and Colony being represented by two senators that are nominated by Provincial governments and approved by the Emperor. There are also 20 extra seats for senators that are personally handpicked by the Emperor. The minimum age is 30.

The lower house is the House of Commons [Junggyui Garda], consisting of 308 members. The number of representatives for each province varies on population. The minimum age is 25 years. Members of the House of Commons are elected by the people of their constituency.

Notable political parties include the Imperial Constitution Association, Homeland Party, People's Empire Party, and Liberal Progressive Party. They are center-right, rightist, centrist, and center-left respectively. Liberal parties make up the Liberal Alliance, while conservative parties make up the Conservative Alliance.

Another notable body of the legislative branch is the Joint Foreign Relations Committee [Al Dai Kanne Tei-Kuo Kuo-Wo'an Hap-Tong Esdar-Gyao Uwei-Hu'ai-Wo'an], consisting of 16 Representatives and 15 Senators. The committee leads debates regarding foreign policy, approves arm sales, and holds confirmation hearings for high-level positions of the Foreign Ministry.

Judicial branch
The Supreme Court [Mais-gao Yewe-Garda] is highest judicial court in the nation and is led by the Chief Justice and his eight associates. They are chosen by the Emperor on advice by his Imperial Cabinet and serve for life until death or resignation. The Supreme Court's role is to interpret the law and decide cases concerning the Constitution.

Nobility
Kannex retains a large number of hereditary and non-hereditary noble titles. Many nobles own a small plot of land in the countryside and hire tenant workers to work on their land. They receive monthly payment from the Imperial Treasury. Other than that, it is mostly an honorary status with little social privileges, though nobles are often favored over commoners in court appointments.

Governors
The governors are executive leaders of their respective provinces or territories and have control of their provincial guards and police. There are currently 17 governors and 17 provinces in Kannex. There are also 4 overseas Colonies. All governors, except those of Seongjang-Dol and Hwaiteu-Geomuen municipalities, are elected by county chiefs, which in return are elected by mayors, which are elected by the people.

PEOPLE: Kannexian Groups and Agencies

Military groups
~Imperial Special Air Group
The Imperial Kannexian Special Aerial Combat Group [Dai Kanne-Tei-Kuo Ke'uk-Sehad Hong-Khung-We'ra Pars-Echipa] or the Imperial Special Air Group [Tei-Kuo Ke'uk Khung Echipa] (sometimes abbreviated as K-Kh-E, or Kappa-Kha-E), is the Imperial Kannexian Army's principal special operations force. KKhEs are trained and are charged in a wide variety of missions, including direct action and special reconnaissance operations, unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, hostage rescue, counter-terrorism and other missions. All KKhEs are male members of any branch of the Imperial Kannexian Armed Forces, although candidates often have an airborne background.
Imperial Naval Special Forces
~The Imperial Kannexian Navy Special Operations Amphibious Battle Unit [Dai Kanne-Tei-Kuo Saiwi-Giuen Ke'uk-Sehad Yehi-Ruhk We'ra-Pars-Echipa] or the Imperial Naval Special Forces [Tei-Kuo Saiwi-Giuen Ke'uk Ruhk Echipa] (abbreviated as KRE, or Kappa-Erre-E) is the Imperial Kannexian Navy's principal special operations unit. The Naval Special Forces is manned by ranks drawn from the Imperial Marines and carries out a role similar to the Special Air Group, but with a stronger focus on amphibious operations.
~Kannexian Elite Imperial Guard
The Kannexian Elite Imperial Guard [Huang-Kung Ke'uk Ge'un-Wai-Echipa; lit. "Imperial Palace Special Protective Unit"], often called simply the Imperial Guard [Huang Wai Echipa], Forbidden Troops [Qam-Giuen] or the Kannex Elite [Kannechi Ke'uk Giuen; lit. "Kannexian Special Troops"] protects the Monarchy and the Imperial Family.
Clad in stylish rifle-green military tunics, the Kannex Elites are often a ceremonial sword strapped to the waist. Peaked caps or garrison hats are worn as headgear. The most distinguishable feature is that Kannex Elites wear a tinted visor while on duty.
NOTABLE UNITS:

• 4444 Unit (Emperor's Personal Unit)
  
• 1446 Unit (Residential Palace Unit)
  
• 1006 Unit (Imperial City Policing Unit)
  
• 7900 Unit (Extended Imperial Family Unit)
  
• 4500 Unit (Emperor's Air Defense Unit)
  

Government agencies
~Imperial Armed Police
The Imperial Kannexian Armed Police Force [Dai Kanne Tei-Kuo Myo-Jyong Khen-Chal Pars-Duei] is a paramilitary or gendarmerie force primarily responsible for internal security and civilian policing, as well as support to Imperial Kannexian Armed Forces during wartime. It is authorized to respond to riots, terrorist attacks, or other emergencies. It also serves as the "action branch" of the Ministry of Public Safety.
The Imperial Armed Police also provides personal protection to senior officials, government buildings, and major events. Some units perform guard duty at certain civilian prisons and provide executioners for the state.
The Imperial Armed Police is estimated to have a total strength of 1.5 million. It is divided into various smaller units, such as border units, forest units, and gold mine units. The Armed Police also maintains many tactical counter-terrorism special forces units. At least one division-sized contingent is located in each province, territory, and direct-controlled municipality of Kannex.
The Imperial Armed Police is distinct from the Imperial Kannexian Armed Forces, despite being descended from the latter and having similar general regulations and rank structure. However, many Imperial Armed Policemen are often mistaken for soldiers due to their militaristic uniforms and insignia. Imperial Armed Police wear olive-green uniforms and peaked caps while on guard duty, and are almost always armed.
The Imperial Armed Police Headquarters answers to the Ministry of Public Security, but the Imperial Armed Police may be brought under the control of the Ministry of Military and the Supreme Military Council during wartime.
National Police
~Ministry of Public Safety
The Ministry of Public Safety of the Empire of Kannex [Dai Kanne Tei-Kuo Gung-An Pars], or simply the Ministry of Public Safety [Gung-An Pars], is the principle police and security authority of the Empire of Kannex, excluding Koenigfaste. It is the government agency that exercises oversight over and is ultimately responsible for day-to-day law enforcement. Other roles of the Ministry of Public Safety include criminal investigation, counterintelligence, internal intelligence, and counter-terrorism.
The Ministry of Public Safety, under normal circumstances (that is, during peacetime), controls and administers the Imperial Armed Police, which serves as the Ministry's "action branch". In other words, while the Ministry investigates crimes and requests for and obtains arrest warrants for criminals, the Imperial Armed Police actively pursues and arrests those criminals.
~Ministry of National Security
The Ministry of National Security [Kuo-ga An-zhyun Pars] is the main civilian intelligence agency and ministry of the Imperial Government responsible for providing national security intelligence. Its other roles include sabotage, anti-sabotage, subversion, and assistance to underground resistance movements, guerrillas, and other liberation movements supporting Kannex's interests. It was once known as the KRIS (Kannexian Royal Intelligence Service) during the reign of Grand Prince Rajeiia Enylch. Estimated number of agents and employees are 25,000 and the Director is a member of the Cabinet.
~Kannexian National Space Agency
The Kanenxian National Space Agency (KNSA) is the national space agency of the Empire of Kannex responsible for space exploration, aeronautics, and aerospace research. It was established during the Principality era and most of its functions have now been taken over by the military.

Organizations with government affiliations
~Red Coin Health and Medical Service Society
The Red Coin Health and Medical Service Society (RCMS) is a government-funded, Kannex-based, humanitarian volunteer organization that provides health and medical services and promotes respect for the human being. The "red coin" in its title is a reference to the coin-like figure in the former Kannexian Princely flag. The RCMS often follows the Kannexian Navy and Marines during times of international war. It has about 70,000 volunteers and the administrator is Khongordzol Bomul.

INCOMPLETE

Based on previous law documents and foreign constitutions, the Kannexian Constitution was drawn up in 2003. The Imperial Constitution was one of the first official Kannexian documents to be written in complete alfabet (see Kannexian Language). There were also hantzi (Chinese characters) and the more traditional bopomofo versions. Below is the English translation of the Constitution.
Crossed-out sections no longer apply. Italicized sections are amendments.

POLITICS: Constitution of Kannex

Having, by the decree of Heaven, ascended to the throne, His Imperial Majesty, Emperor of the Kannexian Empire, having the intention to form a more perfect Government, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the defense of the Empire, promote the welfare of the people, and secure the benefits of national sovereignty to our descendants and ourselves, does decree and enact this imperial Constitution of the Empire of Kannex for all of the people of Kannex to obey.
ARTICLE I (ONE): THE HEAD OF STATE
Section 1.- Role of the Emperor
The Emperor is the spiritual, symbolic, and political head of the Empire, combining in Himself the rights of sovereignty, and exercises them, according to the provisions of the present Constitution. He shall rule on the Imperial Throne for life until death or abdication.
The Imperial Throne shall be succeeded to by Imperial male descendants of the First Emperor of the Freisth Dynasty, the Wo-Myo Emperor, according to the provisions of the Imperial House Law. If no male descendant is found suitable for the Imperial Throne, then Parliament may pass legislation allowing a relative of the Imperial House of Freisth or a female descendant of the Wo-Myo Emperor to succeed to the Imperial Throne.
Those persons with a right of succession to the throne who marry against the express prohibition of the Emperor and Parliament, shall be excluded from succession to the Imperial Throne, as shall their descendants.
The new Emperor, on being proclaimed before the Parliament, will swear to faithfully carry out his duties; to obey the Constitution, the Will of Heaven, and the laws and ensure that they are obeyed; and to respect the rights of citizens and Provinces.

Notable Cities

~Seongjang-Dol
Seongjang-Dol, or simply Seongjang, is the largest city in Kannex and is often regarded as the capital of southern Kannex, as well as one of Kannex's cultural centers. This huge, crowded city is known for the ruins of its ancient city walls and old palaces, as well as its many modern skyscrapers. The city is known for its sizable Cheneri population and its subway system, which is the oldest and grandest of its kind in all of Kannex. Most of its revenue comes from tourism.
~Hwaiteu-Gyomuen City
Hwaiteu-Gyomuen, or simply Hwaiteu, is the capital of the Great Empire of Kannex. This huge, bustling city stands 75 miles west of the mouth of the Hwaiteu River and is best known for being home to the Imperial Palace, the Parliament Building, and many other government buildings. It is defended by regiments of the Elite Imperial Guard and the Imperial Armed Police. There is scarcely a building in Hwaiteu that does not have any historical significance, as Hwaiteu has historically been the capital of many past emperors.
~Pureuda City
Pureuda City is the capital of the Pureuda Island and Pureuda Province, both which share its name. The large city is well-populated, partially due to the influx of Ventwa refugees after the 1982 Revolution, which overthrew the Nuuwaja Dynasty. The majority of its inhabitants are involved in tourism, and it is considered noteworthy for its unique architecture.
~Tzariye
Tzariye (nicknamed "Chesstown" by early Malecian explorers due to its apparent abundance of chess players) is the provincial capital of South Shatuna Province. The huge, prosperous city is known for being near the birthplace of Shzakannechi civilization and the majority of its inhabitants are Shzakannechi. Tzariye was historically the prosperous center of the empire, but when the Nuuwaja Dynasty took power in the late 19th century, the old city was burned to the ground and many of its inhabitants fled. The city would not regain its former status as a great city until recently. Tzariye is also known for its middle-class suburban neighborhoods, its subway system (which is second-oldest in all of Kannex), and its shortage of historical sites due to the destruction of the city in the 19th century.
~Maejangbomul City
This large, sprawling city stands beside the sea and is defended by Imperial Armed Police regiments, as well as several nearby naval bases. The city is noteworthy for its harbor. Much of its revenue comes from tourism and trade.
~Lunechita
Lunechita, or "Lunacyte" on early Malecian maps, is a large but not very populous city. It stands near the coast, at the mouth of the Lunechita River. It is known for its eclectic architecture, its cold winter temperatures, and the several bridges that span the Lunechita River.
~Ingnichita
Ingnichita, nicknamed "Ignus-Kusan" by early Malecian explorers and sometimes written as "Ingni-Citta", is a moderate-sized, bustling city beside the sea, on the mouth of the Seongjang River. Its most noteworthy feature is the extensive canal system that the inhabitants use to navigate around the city. The city itself is built entirely on tiny, nearby islands which serve as city blocks. Not surprisingly, much of the city's revenue comes from tourism.

[Kannex]

HISTORY: Dynasties of Kannex
Kannexian civilization originated in various regional centers along the valleys of many rivers throughout the country, but the Hwaiteu River is said to be the Cradle of Kannexian Civilization. Most Kannexian historians portray the history of Kannex as centering around the five major ethnic groups - the majority Shuzakannechi, Luchino, Ventwa, Cheneri, and Tesoro. However, other smaller ethnic groups and tribes - such as the Airiquumoi - have played important roles in Kannexian history.

The written history of Kannex can be found as early as the An-Yang Dynasty (1046-595 BIC), although ancient historical records assert the existence of the Sumara Dynasty and the Gyuhm-Tsing Dynasty before the An-Yang. The origins of present-day Kannexian culture, literature, and philosophy developed during the Meiru Dynasty (91-583).

Kannexian history is usual divided into six periods: Ancient Dynasties (2000 BIC - 72 IC), Early Medieval Dynasties (91 - 1125), Late Medieval Dynasties (1376 - 1532), Early Modern Dynasties (1553 - 1741), Late Modern Dynasties (1741 - 1982), and the contemporary period (1982 - present). These periods are further divided into dynasties. Violence, rebellion, chaos, and corruption often occurred during the transition from one dynasty to the next, leading to the concept of dynastic cycle.

Three Lords and Five Emperors [c. 3500-2000 BIC]
The Three Lords and Five Emperors period, according to ancient Kannexian sources, came immediately after the creation of the world. The Three Lords and Five Emperors included the legendary founder of Shzakannechi (the largest ethnic group in Kannex) civilization, Al-Lwa Taimon Tei. These god-kings are credited with the gift of fire, building of houses, invention of farming, creation of silk, discovery of medicine, and the invention of the calendar and the first Kannexian script.

Sumara Dynasty [1900 - 1600 BIC]
Sumaraz Dynasty [2000-1600 BIC]
According to ancient sources, the first ruler of the Sumaraz Dynasty was named Dai A-Vuu, son of the legendary god-king U Se'un's most trusted servant. A-Vuu became ruler after U-Se'un abdicated in his favor. A-Vuu is best known for controlling floods by dredging new river channels. The Sumaraz capital was located about a hundred miles east of present-day Tzariye, South Shatuna Province.

Gyuhm-Tsing Dynasty [1600-1046 BIC]
According to Kannexian tradition, the Gyuhm-Tsing Dynasty was founded by rebel king Tzyeruu after sweeping down on the Sumara capital from former Ventwa tribal lands in present-day eastern Kudgol Province. The powerful Ventwa army toppled the Sumaraz Dynasty and the first non-Shzakannechi dynasty in Kannexian history was established. The Gyuhm-Tsing Dynasty is known for its oracle bones and thousands of bronze, jade, bone, and ceramic artifacts.

An-Yang Dynasty [1046-595 BIC]
After the Gyuhm-Tsing realm experienced a series of natural disasters and rebellions, a nobleman named Jausin claimed it was Heaven's will that the Gyuhm-Tsing Dynasty must go. He argued that since the Gyuhm-Tsing Dynasty had become corrupt and despotic, Heaven had withdrawn its blessing and thus the legitimacy of the Gyuhm-Tsing Dynasty. This concept was known as the "Mandate of Heaven" and would be influential for almost every succeeding dynasty.

Jausin declared himself King and rode down on the Ventwa capital in present-day Xueiken from his base in modern-day Aqedya Province. Along the way, he was joined by many nobles and warriors who had renounced the Gyuhm-Tsing, as well as their slaves. An-Yang forces met with Gyuhm-Tsing forces in a pitched battle which ended as an overwhelming victory for the An-Yang. The Gyuhm-Tsing king was killed by his own disgruntled slaves as he tried to escape the battlefield.

During the An-Yang Dynasty, the use of iron was introduced, the concept of the "Mandate of Heaven" was first recorded, and castration became the primary punishment for many crimes, including treason. The An-Yang Dynasty was also a time of growth and expansion as the An-Yang conquered the Luchino people in northern Kannex and the Ventwa people in central eastern Kannex.

Shong-In Dynasty [596 BIC-72 IC]
In the late 6th century BIC, natural disasters and rebellion weakened the An-Yang state. The "Mandate of Heaven" concept, ironically developed by the first An-Yang ruler, was invoked by a nobleman of Luchino ancestry named Myo. With a large number of cavalry, King Myo defeated the An-Yang fleet of chariots and army of demoralized slave soldiers. The An-Yang king chose to kill himself by setting his palace on fire rather than surrender. King Myo set his capital in modern-day Aqutyen, Aqedya Province.

Under the Shong-In, Kannex prospered. Luchino culture was gradually assimilated into the mainstream Kannexian culture, as were the cultures of other minority ethnic groups. The realm expanded as far south as the Seongjang River after the Shong-In defeated the Cheneri people. The concept of "Kannex" as a single entity began developing in this period. In 72 IC, the Shong-In became engulfed in a civil war after King Ui died suddenly without a heir. Nephews and cousins of the deceased king began fighting over the throne.

Ventwa diaspora
One of the major events of the Shong-In Dynasty was the exile of the Ventwa. Beginning 590 BIC, King Myo ordered thousands of Ventwa to be resettled from their traditional lands in Kudgol Province to the grasslands of western Kannex. This is known as the Great Ventwa Migration and was instrumental in the rise of Pelhafor and the annexation of western lands.

There are many possible reasons why King Myo chose to exile the Ventwa. A number of historical records written after his time speculate that in its later years, the Gyuhm-Tsing court was under heavy influence from Ventwa bureaucrats and nobles. King Myo may have blamed the death of his father when he was a child on the Ventwa-dominated bureaucracy.

Meiru Dynasty [91-583]
Eu, a Shzakannechi bureaucrat of the Shong-In Dynasty and the son of a former peasant, used his marriage to the niece of King Ui of Shong-In to legitimize his claim to the throne amid the civil war between rival contenders for the Shong-In throne. King Eu swept northeast from what is now known as Shrantung Province, utilizing missile troops such as archers and siege engines such as catapults and battering rams to assault the walled cities of his rivals. Once King Eu had consolidated his rule, he established his capital in modern-day Tzariye, South Shatuna Province, which was then called Meiru (hence the name of the dynasty).

Spanning nearly five centuries, the Meiru Dynasty is considered a golden age by many. To this day, Kannex's majority ethnic group, the Shzakannechi, occasionally refer themselves as "people of the Meiru". The Khiyodo, a nomadic confederation which dominated the northern part of the Shatuna Plains, defeated the Meiru army in battle in 100. Following the defeat, a political marriage alliance was negotiated in which the Meiru became the de facto inferior partner. When, despite the treaty, the Khiyodo continued to raid Meiru borders, Emperor Myo of Meiru launched several military campaigns against them. The Meiru Dynasty saw the destruction of the Khiyodo confederation; the development of the origins of the Ka'uri Faith; and the invention of the compass, paper, seismometer, stirrup, armillary sphere, and the raised-relief map.

The rulers of the Meiru Dynasty embarked on vigorous campaigns to expand their kingdom. In the process, they conquered much of modern-day Shrantung Rubyas, and Yutgyong Provinces. They also colonized the Manago Islands off the coast of Yutgyong Province, and developed advanced wooden ships which allowed Kannex to trade with foreign nations, namely Pelhafor and then-independent Pureuda Island.

Thraks Dynasty [566-1342]
The Shzakannechi king Al-Vwaiser set his capital in modern-day Murong, South Shatuna Province after successfully toppling the Meiru Dynasty capital and capturing the Meiru king. He would be the first in a long dynasty of kings, which would lasting 776 years. King Vwaiser owed much of his success to his shyaburi warriors, a class of military nobility consisting of mostly cavalry and mounted archers. These shyaburi would exist for another 1400 years as a privileged class of professional warriors.

Western Thraks
The history of the Thraks Dynasty is divided into two periods--Western Thraks and Eastern Thraks. The Western Thraks Dynasty began when King Al-Vwaiser began the dynasty and lasted until the sacking of Murong Palace and the moving of the capital to Tzariye. Kannexian feudalism developed in this period as King Jungthung, the son of King Al-Vwaiser, granted large fiefs of land to his supporters. Jungthung used these feudal lords to expand and maintain his vast kingdom. Eventually, these periphery territories developed local power and prestige on par with that of the Thraks.

Eastern Thraks
In 828 IC, when the powerful Duke of Yahen, angry that King Yoh-Sheng had divorced his daughter, joined forces with several other nobles and stormed the capital. In the process, the Duke's soldiers burned the royal palace to the ground and killed the king. After this, the Duke had the capital moved to modern-day Xueiken to the east and declared Yoh-Sheng's grandson, Pingquoi, the new king. This was effectively the beginning of the decline of the Thraks. From King Pingquoi onwards, the Thraks kings ruled in name only, with true power lying in the hands of regional nobles.

Language, culture, and religion also developed. The changes taking place during the Thraks Dynasty included: the transition of Old Kannexian language to Middle Kannexian; the formalization of the five orders of Kannexian nobility, ancestral temples, and ceremonial regulations; and the advancement of printing techniques and medical literature.

~Warring States Period [c. 1125-1376]
The Warring States Period covers the accelerated fragmentation from the Partition of Zhe'un (in which the land of the State of Zhe'un was divided amongst three nobles) up to the unification of Kannex by Al-Lufared, the First Emperor.

By the start of the Warring States Period, it was quite clear that the Thraks Dynasty held power only in name, and that whichever duke or marquess became the most powerful would be the founder of the next dynasty. Therefore, the various warring states raised huge armies and fought each other for the hegemony of Kannex. This continued for two-and-a-half centuries. The approximate death toll of this period in history has been given at a staggering 25 million.
The concept of total war was practiced on a large scale during the Warring States Period. This period in history saw increases in weapons production and the sizes of armies, as well as changes in strategy and tactics. The first major naval battles in Kannexian history were fought in this period, mostly between the states of Kudgol and Zhe'un over the Maejangbomul Sea. Gunpowder weapons were also used in the form of early hand grenades, cannons, bombards, and mines.

The military impasse between the seven warring states continued until the minor noble Al-Lufared seized control of the State of Seongjang in a coup d'etat, turning it into the State of Azgo. The State of Azgo continued to rise in power while the other states fought amongst themselves. Eventually, the Azgo army was able to conquer all the state and unify Kannex.

Azgo Dynasty - Beginning of Imperial Kannex [1376-1431]
The Azgo Dynasty marked the end of the Early Medieval Dynasties and the beginning of the concept of "Emperor" in Kannex. Previously, rulers had ruled over Kannex as "Hegemon-Kings" or "Kings", but the rulers of the Azgo Dynasty sought to elevate themselves to sage-kings or living gods, comparing themselves to the legendary rulers of the Three Lords and Five Emperors period. For this purpose, Al-Lufared - the First Emperor - created the title of Huang-Tei, combing two previously unrelated hantzi characters. Despite lasting a meager 55 years, the Azgo Dynasty had a lasting impact on the history of Kannex.

Al-Lufared: First Emperor [1376 - 1423]
Dai-Azgo zhi Al-Lufared [literally, "The Lufared of Great Azgo"] (born 8 September 1344, died 6 April 1423) came from a family of successful military generals. Lufared himself entered into the service of the State of Seongjang at 15 years of age. Disillusioned by the corruption of the Seongjang aristocracy, Lufared launched a coup d'etat and overthrew the Duke of Seongjang. He then proclaimed the creation of the State of Azgo, based on the city of Seongjang-Dol, and implemented several reforms that replaced the aristocracy system with one based on meritocracy, in which commoners had equal opportunities as the nobles to be promoted to high ranks, especially in the military. In addition, military discipline was strongly enforced and the troops were trained to adapt better to different battle situations.

With capable generals, Lufared attacked and conquered the remaining four rival states with his elite shyaburi warriors. Kannex was unified in 11 years. To distinguish himself from previous rulers, Lufared took the title of Huang-Tei, which is usually translated as "emperor" or "divine ruler". He would not be called the "First Emperor" nor "Al-Lufared " [The Lufared] until after his time.

As emperor, Lufared standardized weights and measures, the currency, and the language and official script of Kannex. By recalling many local nobles to the capital and confiscating their lands, he centralized the power of the government and essentially destroyed the system of feudalism. Other great accomplishments of Emperor Al-Lufared include his abolition of human sacrifice and hereditary slavery.

End of the Dynasty
These deeds, as well as Lufared's successful repulsions of several Airiquumoi invasions and two invading Pelhaforan fleets, established Al-Lufared as something of a folk hero in Kannexian historiography. Unfortunately, the Azgo Dynasty did not last. His son, Emperor Nyeyerwa, proved to be a capable ruler, but he died too soon in 1431 without a male heir. The Azgo Dynasty lasted only 55 years.

Ingnis Dynasty [1431-1532]
Torapzhen: The Brilliant [1431-1464]
Emperor Torapzhen (13 Jan 1407 - 1 Jun 1464), a brilliant strategist and military commander, legitimized his claim to the throne by marrying the niece of Emperor Al-Lufared, Jangyeon. As the custom was at that time, Torapzhen also kept other wives, but Jangyeon remained his chief consort throughout his reign. For the first ten years of his 33-year reign (he died in 1464), he spent much of his time fighting upstart Ingnis remnants and claimants to the throne. In 1440, Torapzhen defeated the powerful Erda clan at Xueiken. There would be no more major rebellions for the rest of his reign.

In 1446, Torapzhen, possibly fearful that his veteran soldiers would rebel against him, decided to invade Pelhafor, which is across the Tynfiska Sea from Kannex. The Kannexians had conquered much of the coastal areas of Pelhafor by 1459, aided by their powerful navy and their advanced gunpowder weapons (which were, at that time, state-of-the-art weaponry), including fire lances, hand grenades, cannons, and mines.

Poh'lwatan: The Great [1464-1487]
Torapzhen died in 1464, at age 52. He was succeeded by his son Emperor Poh'lwatap, who was almost equally as martial-minded. Instead of focusing on conquest, however, Poh'lwatap emphasized defense. He strengthened communication routes through the militarized courier system, rebuilt Kannex's agricultural base to ensure that there was enough food for the military, and ordered the construction of canals. All this had the unintended, but nevertheless positive, effect of boosting the economy of the empire.

Gaehiiluo: The Achiever [1487-1521]
Emperor Poh'lwatap died in 1487. His son, Emperor Gaehiiluo, took over the task of overseeing the expensive construction projects. The Grand Canal of Kannex was completed in 1595, and the Great Wall of Shatuna (which was named for the province it is located in, North Shatuna Province) was largely completed by 1501. A major setback in his reign was the revolt of the Pelhaforians and the loss of Kannexian colonies in Pelhafor to the Peliyash Qaghan, a nomadic warrior and emperor of Pelhafor.

Nonetheless, the Ingnis Dynasty remained powerful and prosperous. In 1505, Emperor Gaehiiluo commissioned and sponsored Tesoro mariner and fleet admiral Treibau Akukhu for seven naval expeditions. Gaehiiluo designed them to establish a Kannexian presence, impose imperial control over trade, impress foreign peoples, and to extend the empire's tributary system. The voyages also presented an opportunity to seek out Do'unmun, a cousin of Gaehiiluo's who had attempted to usurp the throne and who was rumored to be living abroad in exile. Akukhu's fleets visited Malecia, Mutanatia, Agenopolis, Takaram, Koenigfaste, and perhaps even countries as far away as Boltor. In 1533, Akukhu died and was buried at sea on the return trip of his seventh expedition. There are few historical records of Akukhu, but most suggest that his fleet may have consisted of the largest ships of the time, treasure ships.

Andongnoi: The Unfortunate [1521-1532]
Emperor Gaehiiluo died in 1521 and was succeeded by his son, Andongnoi. By Andongnoi's time, the Ingnis Dynasty was already declining. The ambitious construction projects of his forefathers had nearly bankrupted the nation, and the revenue of silver was quickly running out.

Andongnoi ruled for a mere eleven years, and those eleven years hastened the demise of the dynasty. An abortive expedition to reconquer Pelhafor was defeated after Pelhaforan forces drove the Kannexians off Aina. In northern Kannex, the Airiquumoi had captured Aqutyen in Arqmanu Province and were continuing to advance south. Shyaburi lords in the south were outraged by high taxes and revolted against Emperor Andongnoi. In 1532, Andongnoi died mysteriously, leaving Kannex in chaos. The Ingnis capital at Tzariye soon fell to barbarian invaders, although the Ingnis Dynasty continued to survive as the Northern Ingnis Dynasty until its final defeat by Hyongqam forces in 1542. The tales of the final years of the Northern Ingnis Dynasty are immortalized in Kannexian literature and historical dramas.

Four Heroes of the Late Ingnis Dynasty
Among the heroes of the late Ingnis Dynasty, four have been singled out as the most heroic by the later Senerihani Dynasty historians. These three are General Panggeu Ywakbei, General Saiwizhen Moontin, Chancellor Qoonsit Ruhksau, and Admiral Thaiget Tsepyot.

Panggeu Ywakbei (24 Mar 1493 - 27 Jan 1532) was a military general of the Ingnis Dynasty. He is best known for leading the defense of Ingnis against invaders from the increasingly powerful Tesoro Empire in southwestern Kannex for 20 long years, before being put to death by the Ingnis government under false charges. He was granted the posthumous name of Myomok by Emperor Zan'gakiba of Senerihani in 1598, and later granted the posthumous title of Prince of Ngok [Ngok-Wong] by Emperor Hwaibiek of Tressar in 1801. Widely seen as a patriot and national hero in Kannex, since after his death, Panggeu Ywakbei has evolved into a standard epitome of loyalty in Kannexian culture. Countless pieces of literature and films have portrayed him as a tragic hero. Less than a year after General Ywakbei's death, the Tesoro invaders overran Ingnis border defenses and swept through southern Kannex.

Saiwizhen Moontin (6 Jun 1497 - 9 Jan 1545) was a scholar-general in the last years of the Northern Ingnis Dynasty. For his resistance to Konglap's invasion of the Ingnis, and for his refusal to yield to the Hyongqam Dynasty despite being captured and tortured, he is a popular symbol of patriotism and righteousness in Kannex.

Qoonsit Ruhksau (1498 - 1542) was a statesman and military commander during the final years of the Ingnis Dynasty. He became Chancellor of the Northern Ingnis Dynasty after the government at Tzariye was captured and the remnants of the Ingnis Dynasty were forced to flee north. After the disastrous Naval Battle of Mount Ae in which the Ingnis army and navy were completely wiped out, Ruhksau - along with the young emperor and 800 members of the imperial court - chose to commit suicide rather than fall into the hands of the Tesoro.

Thaiget Tsepyot was a 16th century admiral and government official during the Tesoro invasion of Kannex. Born to a prosperous family in Rubyas, Tsepyot's family moved north to North Shatuna Province. Thaiget Tsepyot gained his position after passing his civil service examination, eventually becoming a successful administrator overseeing civil, military, and naval duties for the Ingnis. After the fall of Maejangbomul, Tsepyot served as the last commander of the Ingnis fleet, escorting the crown prince and several important Kannexian officials as they fled north. They were intercepted by a large Hyongqam fleet near Kapurising and his fleet was entirely destroyed.

Hyongqam Dynasty [1533 - 1591]
The Hyongqam Dynasty (Bomulese/Tesoro: Shang-kue tse; Shuza: Hyong-Qam Jyeu; Lwasinese: Kyogan Asa; Zonjanese: Ngeung1 Gam1 Ciu4; Ventwa: Xiang1 Kan4 Chao2) was a Tesoro dynasty founded by Konglap Rohseoyi, who ruled most of present-day Kannex. At that time, the Tesoro were considered barbarians of the southwest and outsiders to Kannexian society, as they had been virtually untouched by Kannexian/Shuza culture.

Konglap: The Conqueror
Following his uncle's death in 1524, Konglap Rohseoyi declared himself Tsenhie, or emperor of the Tesoro Empire, a quasi-nomadic confederation of warrior tribes based in present-day Ning-Haa Province in southwestern Kannex. His claim to the throne, however, was struck down by his cousin Arqi, who ascended to the throne with the support of much of the Tesoro aristocracy. Konglap was disgraced and humiliated. Instead of being executed, however, Arqi Tsenhie ordered Konglap to virtual exile on the northeastern border of the Tesoro Empire, having him fight the Ingnis Kannexians and expand Tesoro territory. Konglap gained much military experience while fighting Ingnis armies.

Upon the death of the Ingnis Emperor Andongnoi, the young Emperor Mangkhai of Ingnis succeeded him. His reign was plagued with corruption, rebellion, and political instability. Taking advantage of the chaos after Emperor Andongnoi's death and the absence of a capable general on the southwestern Kannexian border (General Panggeu Ywakbei had been executed by the Ingnis government nearly a year before), Konglap invaded Kannex in the winter of 1532.

Konglap's Tesoro army swept through Kannex like a storm, overwhelming the defenders in Shrantung Province. The contingent at Thu-Shran - caught off-guard - quickly fell to the invaders, but the defenders of Bomul gave tough resistance despite being heavily outnumbered. By the spring of 1533, Bomul had fallen and the Tesoro army was crossing the Majaeng River into South Shatuna Province. Tzariye, the capital, fell soon afterward. The Ingnis court fled north, where they established the new capital at Aqutyen and eventually Wingbei. They would continue to resist the Tesoro invasion until 1542.

Konglap declared himself Huang-Tei according to Kannexian customs and decreed that "everything under Heaven" would be his subjects. He convened an assembly of Tesoro nobility and had himself declared the Great Tsenhie . However, this assembly convened by Konglap was deemed illegitimate from the perspective of the Tesoro tradition of throne inheritance: the empire already had Arqi as legitimate Great Tsenhie, who was in the Tesoro capital. In addition, it was said that that Konglap made extensive use of bribery of princes. Arqi sent an ambassador to his cousin: "By the state's law, the Great Tsenhie is proclaimed by the great assembly, but you have ignored the supreme doctrine; sitting in Kannex and, following Kannexian laws, you are acting autocratically."

From the beginning of his reign (1533), Konglap had adopted many customs from earlier Kannexian dynasties, such as era names and bureaucracy. He had several Kannexian teachers attached to him since his early years. Not only did they explain him the Kannexian history and ideology, but also permanently gave advice on governance as well as military tactics. After declaring the start of the Hyongqam Dynasty, Konglap and his forces waged war on the "usurper" Arqi and defeated him in 1536.

In the late 1530s, Konglap began his massive drive against the Northern Ingnis Dynasty. The Northern Ingnis court, filled with corruption and incompetence, was unable to win any battles. In 1538, an Ingnis force of 130,000 troops under Chancellor Sitao Gachu was defeated by a Hyongqam force. By 1539, most of Northern Ingnis territory had been captured by Hyongqam forces. Ingnis forces made a last stand at the Battle of Mount Ae, in which the Ingnis military was entirely wiped out. Shortly afterward, Emperor Mangkhai of Ingnis, along with many of his subjects, committed suicide by jumping off a cliff that is still called Mangkhai's Cliff to this day. Thus ended the Northern Ingnis Dynasty.

Konglap's reign [1533-1562]
With Konglap's consolidation of his power, Kannex entered a period of stability. Unlike his Tesoro predecessors, Konglap established a government with institutions resembling the ones in earlier Chinese dynasties and made reforms to maintain his centralized rule. Konglap was seen as a martial emperor, reforming much of Kannex and its institutions, a process that would have taken decades to complete. For example, he consolidated his rule by centralizing the government of Kannex — making himself (unlike his Tesoro predecessors) an absolute monarch. He divided his empire into "secretariat provinces", each governing the areas of approximately two or three modern-day Kannexian provinces. Konglap Tsenhie also reformed many other governmental and economic institutions, especially the tax system. Konglap sought to govern China through traditional institutions, and also recognized that in order to rule China he needed to employ Shzakannechi advisers and officials, though he never relied totally on Shuza advisers. Yet, the Shuza, Luchino, and Cheneri were discriminated against politically. Almost all important central posts were monopolized by Tesoro.

In essence, society was divided into four classes in order of privilege: Tesoro, Saukmok ("various sorts", for example: Ventwa, steppe nomads, etc.), Northerners (northern Shuza, Luchino, and Airiquumoi), and Southerners (southern Shuza, and Cheneri). During his lifetime, Konglap built the capital of the Hyongqam, Dado, which is present-day Murong, and made Bomul the summer capital. He also improved the agriculture of Kannex, extending the Grand Canal, highways and public granaries.

Mahakseo [1562-1572]
Succession problems would later bring about the relatively quick end of the dynasty. This emerged as early as the end of Konglap's reign. Konglap originally named his eldest son, Junzol as the crown prince, but he died before Konglap in 1559. Thus, Junzol's son Mahakseo ruled for a decade after Konglap's death. Mahakseo decided to maintain and continue much of the work begun by his grandfather. However, the corruption in the Hyongqam began during the reign of Mahakseo.

Hapuosie [1572-1576]
Hapuosie came to the throne after the death of Mahakseo, his uncle. Unlike his predecessor, he did not continue Konglap's work, but largely rejected it. He introduced a policy called "New Deals", and the central of this policy were monetary reforms. During his short reign, Hyongqam government fell into financial difficulties, partly due to bad decisions made by Hapuosie. By the time he died, Kannex was in severe debt and the Hyongqam Dynasty faced popular discontent.

Yanyau [1576-1584]
The fourth Hyongqam emperor, Yanyau Tsenhie was a competent emperor and the younger brother of Hapuosie. He was the first among the Hyongqam emperors who actively supported and adopted the mainstream Kannexian culture after the reign of Konglap, to the discontent of some Tesoro elite. He had been mentored by Rimang Tressorea, a Kannexian academic. He made many reforms, including the liquidation of the Department of State Affairs, which resulted in the execution of 5 of the highest ranking officials. Starting in 1578 imperial examinations were reintroduced for prospective officials, testing their knowledge on significant historical works. Also, he codified much of the law, as well as publishing or translating a number of Kannexian books and works.

Later years [1584-1591]
Jitri Tsenhie [1584-1585], Yanyau's son and successor, continued his father's policies to reform the government based on Kannexian philosophical principles, with the help of his newly appointed grand chancellor Baakju. However, he was soon assassinated and replaced by the incompetent Emperor Taiding of Hyongqam [1585-1587], who was in turn assassinated and replaced by Ashise'un [1587]. The young Ashise'un succumbed to regicide and was replaced by Basawami [1587-1589]. He was succeeded by his son, Yentung [1589-1591], who would be the last emperor of the Hyongqam Dynasty.

The last years of the Hyongqam Dynasty was marked by struggle, famine, and bitterness among the populace. Kannex was torn by dissension and unrest; outlaws ravaged the country without interference from the weakening Hyongqam armies. The Hyongqam court itself consisted of numerous rival factions. Massive rebel armies defeated the Hyongqam armies in battle. The capital, Dado, was razed to the ground by rebels in the summer of 1591. Emperor Yentung was captured and imprisoned and thus the Hyongqam Dynasty - as well as the remnants of the Tesoro Empire - fell to the Senerihani forces.

Senerihani Dynasty [1591 - 1741]
The Senerihani Dynasty, also Empire of the Great Senerihan or the Seneri Dynasty, was the ruling dynasty of Kannex from 1591 to 1741, following the collapse of the Tesoro-led Hyongqam Dynasty. Seneri rule saw the construction of a vast navy and a standing army of one million troops. There were enormous construction projects, including the restoration of the Grand Canal and the Great Wall and the establishment of the Imperial Palace in Hwaiteu during the first quarter of the 17th century. Estimates for the late-Seneri population vary from 160 to 200 million.

Founding
The Tesoro-led Hyongqam Dynasty ruled before the establishment of the Seneri Dynasty. Alongside institutionalized ethnic discrimination against non-Tesoro Kannexians that stirred resentment and rebellion, other explanations for the Hyongqam's demise included overtaxing areas hard-hit by inflation, and massive flooding of the Maejang River as a result of the abandonment of irrigation projects. Consequently, agriculture and the economy were in shambles and rebellion broke out among the hundreds of thousands of peasants called upon to work on repairing the d**es of the Maejang River.

A number of Kannexian groups revolted, including the Red Turbans in 1578. The Red Turbans were an army of shyaburi warriors aiming to overthrow the Hyongqam and restore Kannexian rule to Kannex. One of their leaders was the Cheneri shyaburi lord Dovira Senerihan. In 1582, Dovira's rebel force captured the city of Unengi which would be the Seneri forces' base of operations for the next few years. However, Dovira died in 1583 and was succeeded by his nephew, Neroyeqe Senerihan.

With the Hyongqam Dynasty crumbling, competing rebel groups began fighting for control of the country and thus the right to establish a new dynasty. In 1586, Neroyeqe eliminated his arch-rival and leader of the rebel faction Daiding Yaulung in the Battle of Lake Poyang, arguably the largest naval battle in history. Known for its ambitious use of fire ships, Neroyeqe's force of 200,000 Seneri sailors were able to defeat Daiding's rebel force over triple their size, claimed to be 650,000-strong. The victory destroyed the last opposing rebel faction, leaving Neroyeqe in uncontested control of the south. After the dynastic head of the Red Turbans suspiciously died in 1589 while a guest of Neroyeqe, no one remotely capable of contesting his march to the throne, and he made his imperial ambitions known by sending an army toward the Hyongqam capital Dado (present-day Murong) in 1590. The last Hyongqam emperor was imprisoned and Dovira declared the founding of the Seneri Dynasty after razing the Hyongqam palaces in Dado to the ground; the city was renamed Murong in the same year.

Neroyeqe: The Martial [1591-1606]
As the first Emperor of a unified Kannex under Senerihani rule, Neroyeqe Senerihan had the challenge of reigning over a war-ravaged country. Neroyeqe set his capital at the recently-captured city of Hwaiteu-Gyomuen and appointed able ministers to oversee the national reconstruction efforts. Unlike the Ingnis emperors' economic system which emphasized trade, Emperor Neroyeqe saw agriculture as the base of the Kannexian economy and implemented several agricultural reforms. Neroyeqe's disdain for merchants, however, did not prevent their rise in numbers and social status. Among the richest merchants in Neroyeqe's reign were the three famous merchant brothers of the Regkilig family: Senosuul, Seknar, and Treyesaltan, each of whom owned large merchant fleets.

In 1559, Neroyeqe ordered the establishment of a secret police (known as the "Brocade-Clad Guard") and two standing armies, the Divine Engine Army and the Army of the Crown Prince. The Brocade-Clad Guard was led by General Patriluei Roh'seifam, who used the organization to eliminate many of his political opponents in the imperial court. The Divine Engine Army [Shen-Gi Giuen] was led by General Rajeiia Tressorea and was in charge of the research and training in the use of firearms, such as new muskets and cannons. The second army, the Army of the Crown Prince [Huang-Tzie Giuen] was led by the Emperor's nephew, the young Crown Prince (and future Emperor) Zan'gakiba. The latter two armies were, perhaps, the first 'modern' standing armies of Kannex. Both the Army of the Crown Prince and the Divine Engine Army used a variety of early gunpowder weapons and had a system of nine military ranks based on animals.

Zan'gakiba: The Colorful [1606-1624]
In 1565, Neroyeqe passed away and was succeeded by his nephew, Crown Prince Zan'gakiba. Patriluei Rohseifam took advantage of the interregnum instability to launch a coup and attempt to place Neroyeqe's cousin, Rokhano, on the throne, but he was soon defeated by the allied Army of the Crown Prince and the Divine Engine Army. Emperor Zan'gakiba was official crowned in the same year, but not before he executed Patriluei Rohseifam for treason. For his everlasting loyalty, General Rajeiia Tressorea was made the Marquess of Tressar.

Zan'gakiba's reign was a colorful period, and court life flourished. The rules for Kannexian kickball and Kannexian golf were standardized and became very close to what they are today. The period also marked the transition from the Middle Kannexian language to Early Modern Shuza Kannexian, spoken by officials, nobles, and bureaucrats.

Sagita'arjaz [1624-1639]
Emperor Zan'gakiba retired in 1624 and was succeeded by his son Sagita'arjaz. Sagita'arjaz was more interested in the arts, sciences, and history, and relied on his uncle Ganungsoh, Duke of Taenfisuka to make decisions regarding military matters. In appreciation of his family's everlasting loyalty, General Ralyanga Tressorea (Rajeiia Tressorea's grandson) was given the Emperor's sister as a bride. This fact would later be used by the Tressar Dynasty to legitimize their succession to the Senerihani Dynasty .For the Tressorea clan's selfless loyalty to the empire, Emperor Sagita'arjaz promoted Ralyanga Tressorea from Marquess of Tressar to Duke of Tressar.

Sagita'arjaz promoted welfare of the people by ordering tax remissions and relief in poverty-stricken areas. He also ordered that widows, orphans, and the elderly were to be looked after by the state. Sagita'arjaz also authorized the completion of the Sagita'arjaz Encyclopedia and the History of Dynasties to be in his name. Sagitaarjaz's court was home to many of the greatest Kannexian and foreign philosophers and scholars of the day, contributing to the intellectual atmosphere.

Fuloh'nga [1639-1645]
In 1639, Sagita'arjaz died and was succeeded by his teenaged son, Fuloh'nga. Fuloh'nga was a weak ruler, spent money like water, and knew nothing of the hardships and toil of the lower classes. When a deadly earthquake struck Kudgol Province and Emperor Fuloh'nga was told that the people did not have enough rice to eat, he supposedly asked the famous question, "Why don't they eat meat?" Despite the young emperor's ignorance, the first few years of his reign was relatively peaceful. His uncle and regent, Yuhen, assisted the emperor in making many decisions.

Ongkam [1645-1657]
In 1645, Fuloh'nga abdicated in favor of his son, Ongkam.

In 1607, the Yellow Scarves Rebellion broke out in Aqutyen, present-day Arqmanu Province, and rapidly spread to other areas of northern Kannex and western Kannex. The leader of the rebels, the self-proclaimed sorcerer Qensekloh, preached equal rights of all peoples, equal distribution of land, and the rise of a new "Yellow Sky". The movement attracted many fanatical members, including desperate and starving peasants that had suffered under agrarian crisis.

Neroyeqe's rule also saw the rise of General Rajeiia Tressorea, a Kannexian folk hero whose descendants would go on to found the Tressar Dynasty. General Rajeiia Tressorea - whose father, Rimang Tessorea, had been the mentor of Emperor Yanyau of Hyongqam - had faithfully served Emperor Dovira and then Emperor Neroyeqe during the days of the Red Turban Rebellion, and his legendary deeds - which include wrestling with a tiger, personally holding off three hundred enemy soldiers with a mere tree branch, and surviving a barrage of cannon fire - have been retold in many forms. While many of the feats credited to Tressorea are likely fabricated or exaggerated, many historians do believe that Rajeiia Tressorea was indeed a brilliant commander, strategist, and tactician.


Fuloh'nga was succeeded by his son, Ongkam (born 1620; died 1657). Ongkam attempted to reverse the rampant corruption that had sprung up in the later years of his father's reign, but the damage had already been done. Peasants in Arqmanu Province suffered from heavy taxes and local corruption, and many revolted. Many in the imperial court openly blamed Qelohke Bultset for the war, and the Emperor seemed to side with them. In 1649, Chancellor Qelohke Bultset, seeing that his position was threatened, overthrew Ongkam in a coup and replaced him with his brother, Vigurao. Ongkam was placed under house arrest. Vigurao was unpopular and weak, and when Qelohke Bultset died three years later, Ongkam had Vigurao murdered in cold blood.
Supported by Duke Ramajya Tressorea, Ongkam regained the throne and defeated the Peasants' Revolt in 1642 at a great cost. When Ongkam died, he was succeeded by his son Nuwonri. By then, Kannex was left in ruins by the Peasants' Revolt. Corruption and revolts were spreading. Unfortunately, Nuwonri was a weak ruler and did nothing. He reigned for 20 years and was eventually assassinated by his brother, Myoywaku, who took the throne for himself. He ruled for over two decades and was known for his ruthlessness in dealing with his enemies--he had many executed or tortured.
When Nuwonri died in 1699, a succession dispute broke out between his sons Ssingvan and Dakpa'rap. Ssingvan set his court at Tzariye in opposition to Dakpa'rap, leading the latter to send troops to suppress the "rebellion". While the North was in a state of civil war between two imperial brothers, the South was engulfed in turmoil as various nobles and their private armies tried to seize power.
Emperor Ssingvan emerged the victor when he had his brother assassinated in 1724. Ssingvan attempted to take control of the country, but the 25 years of civil war had severed any control the Senerihani Dynasty had over the people. Meanwhile, in the South, the warlord Rapagyang Tressorea, a descendant of Rajeiia Tressorea, had captured Seongjang-Dol and much of southern Kannex. Hwaiteu-Gyomuen fell to his army in 1737.
Emperor Ssingvan demanded that Tressorea surrender his lands to the Senerihani Dynasty, but Tressorea refused and disputed the former's legitimacy to the throne.
Enraged by this, Emperor Ssingvan prepared for war. However, Emperor Ssingvan died on 12 October 1737, apparently struck by lightning. His enemies called it divine retribution.
Ssingvan was succeeded by his eldest son, Emperor Jahun. Jahun was a skillful military leader and he manage to keep the Tressar forces at bay throughout his 4-year reign. The Tressar forces had captured Hwaiteu-Gyomuen, but Jahun was determined not to let the Tressar advance north of the Hwaiteu River. In 1741, Emperor Jahun was killed in battle. As Tzariye and other northern cities fell to the advancing Tressar forces, the Senerihani Dynasty collapsed.

[Kannex]

HISTORY: Modern Kannex

Overthrow of the Nuuwaja
Since the late 19th century, Kannex had been under the rule of the Nuuwaja Dynasty. Like all dynasties, the Nuuwaja came to power as the liberator of the people, and declined as a government saturated in corruption. Unlike earlier dynasties, the Nuuwaja Dynasty was not founded by any of the five major ethnic groups in Kannex, but a small northern nomadic tribe known as the Airiquumoi. The Airiquumoi were regarded as barbarian, and their rule was greatly resisted by many Kannexians.
Exiled Kannexian republicans based in Mutanatia sparked off the 1982-1984 Revolution which overthrew the Nuuwaja dynasty and established the Kannexian Republic. However, the new Republic was plagued with corruption, warlords, and ideological differences. Republicanism was new to Kannex, and the top republicans had differing opinions on how the new democratic system was to be implemented.

---

Rise of a Dictator
In November 1984, a military commander named Hinwing Giuenjang seized power in Hwaiteu-Gyomuen, the capital, after a brief struggle with political rivals. He declared himself Supreme Marshal and cracked down on protesters. He then installed several of his supporters and subordinate officers in his new government, declaring that he was now "guiding the Revolution in the right direction".
Upon hearing this, a charismatic young colonel in Tzariye named Rajeiia Enailuch (IPA: rɑːʔdʒeɪjɑː ənʌltʃ) (sometimes written as "Enylch") mobilized an army of followers and marched on Hwaiteu. Using the banner of "One Nation Obeying Destiny!" and implying that it was Heaven's will to restore order to Kannex, Colonel Enylch rallied nationalistic and patriotic support, gaining strength as he headed east.
Maoving quickly, Enylch's army stormed into the gates of Hwaiteu and defeated Giuenjang's forces. Giuenjang was killed as he tried to escape. On December 22, 1984, Rajeiia Enylch then declared himself acting commander-in-chief of all Kannexian military forces, essentially making himself a dictator. Enylch then built up an army of half a million troops and launched several expeditions to defeat warlords and bring Kannex under his rule. He defeated the last warlords by April 1986.
On June 23rd, 1986, in a carefully-staged incident, Rajeiia Enylch offered to return power to the National Assembly (which had been filled with his own followers). The National Assembly not only begged him to stay, but appointed him Perpetual Consul. Later that day, Rajeiia Enylch declared the founding of the "State of Kannex", later to be known as the Principality of Kannex.

---

The "Principality" Era
After consolidating his rule, Rajeiia Enylch built a personality cult around himself and presented himself as the people's savior. Although his official title was "Perpetual Consul", he was popularly known as the "Grand Prince" [Da-Gung, lit. "Great Duke"] by Kannexians and foreigners. He apparently never officially accepted the title, but he did tolerate it. After his death, monarchists would downplay his title of "Consul" and officially call him Grand Prince Rajeiia Enylch. A later misunderstanding by the Malecian press made the "State of Kannex" to be known as the monarchic "Principality of Kannex". Enylch never married, allegedly saying, "I am the country, and the country has no equal."
~Involvement in Mutanatia
Rajeiia Enylch wanted Kannex to become more involved in the international community. For this reason, Enylch sent humanitarian aid to Mutanatia when it was struck by a devastating earthquake. Kannex also participated in its first "modern" overseas conflict when Consul Enylch sent limited ground forces (Army of Kannex) abroad to help Mutanatia defend itself from an invasion its then-neighbor Archaeologia. The war lasted from 1988 to 1994.
~Entente with Malecia
Later in 1988, the State of Kannex established relations with the Republic of Malecia, an island nation in the middle of the North Medius Ocean. Malecia had just emerged from a deadly civil war and was eager to welcome Trajan Regkilig, the Kannexian ambassador, into Malecia. Likewise, Consul Enylch kindly welcomed Martin Paskow, the Malecian ambassador, to Kannex.
~Early Troubles in Tannenberg
1. Rebellions and Chaos
In 1989, Kannex was involved in two simultaneous conflicts in Greater New Tannenberg. Consul Enylch sent limited air and ground forces to support the imperial government in both conflicts-- subduing the rebellious colony of Koenigfaste (then called KoenigFeste) and defeating anarchist rebels. In the end, the imperial government collapsed and Tannenberg became a short-lived republic. Kannexian forces withdrew.
2. Kannexian Colonization of Koenigfaste
A military tribunal to review the war crimes of the previous conflict was held jointly by Kannex, Malecia, and the new Republic of Tannenberg. It was marked with frequent arguments between Tannenbergians and Malecians, the latter wanting to place the Koenigfastian chief Tshaka on trial. The Malecians were increasingly frustrated by King Tshaka's immunity from trial, as Koenigfaste was now out of Tannenbergian jurisdiction.
In fact, this was such a diplomatic sensitivity that Tannenberg--in order to appease the Malecian government--sent a commando group to kidnap King Tshaka and bring him to Tannenberg for trial. This secret operation, however, was discovered by the Koenigfastians and was almost completely wiped out.
The governments of Kannex, Malecia, and Tannenberg were outraged. From August 14, 1991 to October 20th, 1991, the three allied nations invaded Koenigfaste in the 1991 Invasion of Koenigfaste. Tannenbergians withdrew suddenly due to internal turmoil, allowing Kannex to take over Koenigfaste. Kannex captured all coastal cities with support from Malecian forces, although it would be years before Koenigfaste was completely under Kannexian control. Kannex officially declared Koenigfaste as a Kannexian-ruled territory on January 26, 1992.
3. Tannenbergian Isolationist Policy
Later in the year, the National Assembly of Tannenberg adopted an isolationist policy known as the Isolation Law, kicking out all foreigners, closing its borders, and turning the country into a police state. The influx of Tannenbergian refugees nearly overwhelmed the border agencies of Kannex and Malecia. Despite this, Consul Rajeiia Enylch actively encouraged refugees to migrate to Kannex.
The Malecian Waters Naval Crisis between Malecia and Tannenberg occurred in October 1994, when Tannenberg attempted to conduct a naval exercise near Malecian waters. Malecia protested, and Tannenberg withdrew. Many people--especially Tannenbergians--celebrated when the National Assembly of Tannenberg announced it would discontinue its isolationist policy.
4. Kannexian developments
In Kannex, Consul Rajeiia Enylch ruled as an autocrat. The Kannexian National Assembly was nothing more than a rubber stamp, and few even bothered to hide it. Consul Enylch mostly ruled by decree, but sometimes did formally pass a law through the National Assembly. One of these legislation include a lese majeste law that still applies today.
During the Principality era, Consul Enylch drove Kannex through several vigorous campaigns to modernize, industrialize, and urbanize Kannex. He encouraged Kannexian students to study overseas and for foreign investors to come to Kannex. He also encouraged Kannexians to sweep away remnants of the old Nuuwaja Dynasty, which led mobs of radical Kannexian youth to destroy precious artifacts and physically attack former Nuuwaja officials.
As the old nobility and gentry was swept away, a new wealthy, foreign-educated elite took its place. Many rich families sent their sons to study abroad in countries such as Malecia, Mutanatia, and Tannenberg. Some of these Kannexian students stayed in those countries and became part of the worldwide Kannexian diaspora.
The Kannexian government funded construction projects to build and expand subway systems in large cities, such as Hwaiteu and Tzariye. Many of these new subway systems were built with Malecian assistance. Construction on the Seongjang Subway, which began in the 1940s during the Nuuwaja Dynasty, was largely completed by 1995. These subway construction projects also led to the construction of vast underground cities, which would later be used by the Kannexians to defend their cities against Tannenberg invasion in 1996.
Apartments were built for the burgeoning urban population. Frequent building accidents and structural collapses led the National Assembly to set regulations for buildings all across the country. As urbanization spread to rural areas, many Kannexian farmers and environmentalists staged protests, leading to the formation of Kannexian Environmental Agency and the rise of many environmentalist movements in Kannex.
Consul Enylch also stressed the need to modernize national defense and technology. He employed many military advisers who had been educated in foreign countries to help modernize his army, air force, and navy. The Kannexian government also bought old aircraft carriers from several foreign countries, using the designs of those carriers to develop their own.
~Invasion of Kannex
The abortive invasion and brief occupation of Kannex lasted from March 1st, 1996, when the first Tannenberg Stormtroopers landed in Maejangbomul, to the final surrender of Tannenberg forces on February 2nd, 1997. The declaration of war, however, had been sent on February 23rd. Nearly 400,000 Tannenberg troops took part in the conflict, including naval servicemen.
The War of Resistance Against Tannenberg, as the invasion is known to many Kannexians, made a lasting impression that would be felt for the next few generations in Kannex. To date, it has been the largest amphibious invasion of Kannex since ancient times, and it has been championed as the most brilliant example of Kannexian unity and strength in its history. In some of the battles, nearly a million Kannexians took part. Many of them were ordinary Kannexian civilians who had taken up arms at Consul Enylch's calling.
1. Background
The events leading up to the Invasion of Kannex began on November 8th 1995, when a group of right-wing military officers seized power in Greater New Tannenberg through a coup. They overthrew the weak and unstable civilian government, establishing a junta.
The Tannenbergian militarists and rightists were disgruntled with the civilian government they had overthrown, especially for the failure to recapture Koenigfaste Colony and the disappointing way which the Malecian Waters Naval Crisis had been handled. They saw Kannex, Malecia, and Falydavia as enemy nations who had wronged their fatherland.
2. War breaks out
The declaration of war was sent to the governments of Kannex, Malecia, and Falydavia on the 23rd of February, when plans to invade Kannex ("Operation Musketeer") were underway. In Kannex, the military was placed on high alert, but the Kannexian government largely believed that there had been "a mere mistake".
Less than a week after the declaration of war, Tannenberg struck. On February 29th, Tannenberg Stormtroopers (naval infantry and paratroopers) landed on the beaches of Malecia and Falydavia after heavy aerial bombardment. The next morning, the eastern coast of Kannex was heavily bombarded and its weak air force was brushed aside. Stormtroopers landed in Maejangbomul, occupying the city. This was followed by occupations of Kaprising, Hwaiteu, and Pureuda Island.
Despite invading from the other side of an ocean, Tannenbergian forces initially met much success. Kannexian military forces were inexperienced and few; most Kannexian veterans were still situated in Mutanatia, where they were helping to rebuild Mutanatia from the aftermath of its war with Archaeologia. The remaining land, air, and naval forces were few in number and its chain of command fell apart after the initial strike.
3. Kannexian reaction
Consul Rajeiia Enylch and his government fled Hwaiteu and set their wartime capital at Tzariye. Consul Enylch called upon his citizens to rise up and resist the foreign invasion with the slogan of "Destroy the Barbarian Invasion!", bringing back memories of the 1982 Revolution, in which the Kannexian revolutionaries overthrew the rule of the Airiquumoi "barbarians".
The word of the popular Consul Enylch traveled fast, and soon, tens of thousands of Kannexians were rallying to the cause and were actively fighting the Tannenbergian occupation as guerrilla fighters. Meanwhile, Consul Enylch announced a system of total war in his stirring speech on March 19, 1996:

... From this moment, until the barbarian invaders and traitorous collaborators have been destroyed, all Kannexians are permanently required to provide their services to the country and military. The young men shall fight; married men shall work in the factories and transport provisions; women and children should provide medical services and make cloth; and the old men should betake themselves to the public squares in order to arouse the courage of warriors and preach, "Death to the barbarian invaders!" and "Ten thousand years for Kannex!"

Kannexian resistance was fierce. Many Kannexians had tattoos which said, "Going to die for the country!" [Nam kuo ku sih!] and "Ten thousand years for Kannex!" [Kanne-kuo sua-aivu!]. Kannexian fighters would bomb Tannenbergian bases and administrative buildings, as well as assassinate Kannexian collaborators. On the front-lines, many soldiers used homemade grenades and swords to fight back against the enemy blitzkrieg tactics.
4. Turning the tide
The turning point of the war is debatable. Some consider it to be the Siege of Tzariye, which took place from the July 4th to the August 21st. In this battle, the wartime capital was defended by over a million Kannexian soldiers. Consul Enylch raised morale by having a military parade for the troops before sending them to the front a few miles away. Consul Enylch also utilized the Tzariye subway system and underground city to the city's defensive advantage. The Kannexians used the subway system as an underground bunker, underground headquarters, and an underground troop transport system. Kannexian guerrilla fighters on the surface also dealt major blows through using anti-tank weapons and ambushing Tannebergian troops.
Another possible turning point is the Battle of Seongjang, which lasted from August 31st to October 19th. As it was the most populous city in Kannex, capturing Kannex would be a big step in occupying the country. Despite overwhelming enemy firepower, the Kannexians held off the Tannenbergian assault with their large numbers. Increased production of weapons also meant that the Kannexians were well-armed, especially with surface-to-air missiles which they used to strike down Tannebergian aircraft. The Tannenbergians also failed to seal off or capture the Seongjang Metro subway system, which the Kannexians used to execute hit-and-run attacks behind enemy lines. Near the end of the battle, the Kannexian troops were able to surround the Tannenbergians and turn the tide of the battle. Tannenbergian casualties were heavy by the time they surrendered, with over 20,000 deaths and many more wounded.
5. Kannexian counterattack
By the winter of 1996, the tide of the war had turned in Kannex's favor. Production of tanks, aircraft, and weapons were increasing to the point that Kannexian officers were allowed to carry three firearms. The Kannexian army of over 2 million men vastly outnumbered the Tannenbergian troops. Meanwhile, the Tannenbergians had lost one-third of their tanks and much of their aircraft in the Battle of Seongjang alone. The Malecian triumph over the Tannenbergian invasion in December 1996 also meant that the Malecian navy was free to help harass Tannenbergian supply lines in the North Medius Ocean.
In the winter of 1996, the Kannexians launched a large-scale military campaign to liberate Northern Kannex. The occupied cities of Hwaiteu and Kaprising fell to combined land, air, and sea forces of Kannex. Thousands of Tannenbergian troops were captured, along with many aircraft, firearms, artillery, and vehicles.
Around the same time, a left-wing uprising occurred in Tannenberg, causing the military junta in Tannenberg to collapse. Tannenbergian forces in Kannex were embattled and isolated from their homeland. While the Kannexian military continued to score victories on land and in the air, the Malecian navy blockaded the Kannexian east coast and prevented supplies from going to the Tannenbergians, essentially trapping them in the coastal cities.
6. End of the war
On February 2nd, 1997, the remaining Tannenbergian units in Kannex surrendered. Most of them were in Kudgol Province and had been defending the occupied city of Maejangbomul. In Pureuda Island, the Malecian and Kannexian navies jointly accepted the surrender of Tannenbergian units stationed there. This effectively ended the war, for without its expeditionary forces in Kannex, Greater New Tannenberg had no way of continuing Operation Musketeer.
Amid the turmoil in Tannenberg, Kannexian troops stationed in Mutanatia swept south and captured several port cities on its western coast. Kannex officially assumed control of these land concessions (called "Tannin" concessions) after the peace talks. These concessions were later returned in 2003 by the Great Empire of Kannex.

Rise of the Empire
~Kannexian Civil War
While the War of Resistance Against Tannenberg lasted about a year, the Kannexian Civil War spanned two years. Some historians believe that the latter overshadowed the former in future impact and importance, although they had the exact opposite effects--the War of Resistance united Kannex, while the Civil War tore the country apart. The yet-unfixed chaos left over from the War of Resistance is considered to be one factor--if not the primary factor--of the Kannexian Civil War.
1. Background
The War of Resistance Against Tannenberg (also known as the Invasion) ended only about three years before the start of the Kannexian Civil War. After the war, while the Kannexians had a surplus of weapons (including those captured from Tannenbergians) and trained, armed men, the Kannexian economy was in ruins, as were many local governments. Consul Rajeiia Enylch struggled to regain control of war-torn Kannex, and had his army take control of several cities and provinces across the country. This led to the rise of several warlords, as military leaders took this chance to build local power and prestige for themselves.
2. Start of the war
Consul Rajeiia Enylch died suddenly on March 25, 2000 after returning from a visit to Kannex's ally, Malecia. As Rajeiia Enylch had not designated a heir, nor had he set any clear regulations for succession, the subsequent power vacuum erupted into a civil war as various warlords and political figures each declared himself the rightful successor to Enylch.
Members of the former National Assembly set up the Second Republic of Kannex, a republican government under the leadership of Senator Rokhano Periikson. Their government was based in Maejangbomul and was supported by most foreign nations as the legitimate successor to Rajeiia Enylch, but it was almost universally unaccepted inside Kannex.
3. Dovira Freisth takes power
One of the many warlords that arose in this period was a military officer named Dovira Freisth (later to be known as Emperor Dovira Af Freisth). Like his predecessor Rajeiia Enylch, he began as a colonel in charge of an army regiment stationed near his hometown. In Dovira Freisth's case, his hometown was Seongjang-Dol, the most populous city in Kannex.
Colonel Freisth gained the support of many officers and soldiers with his nationalist ideas and was able to seize power in Seongjang-Dol. From there, he gradually accumulated popular support and power, and used his army to overthrow rival warlords and fight the unpopular, foreign-supported republicans. His armies swept over the nation and soon captured Hwaiteu, the capital, in November 2001. The republican faction, despite receiving foreign military and financial aid, had collapsed with the fall of Maejangbomul. Dovira Freisth had unified the country and destroyed much of his greatest threat, but it took several more months before Kannex was completely pacified.
~Imperial Restoration
Inspired by ancient monarchic tradition, Colonel Dovira Freisth declared himself the semi-divine Heavenly Emperor and "Son of Heaven" of Kannex.The Great Empire of Kannex [Al Dai Kanne-Tei-Kuo] was officially established on January 14th, 2002 when Emperor Dovira Freisth gave a speech to a large, cheering crowd in Hwaiteu-Gyomuen.
1. Marriage to Adelheid
Emperor Dovira Freisth, once ascending the Dragon Throne, immediately began looking for ways to safeguard his power. In 2003, in a personal letter, Emperor Dovira Freisth proposed to Adelheid Qaeroyu, the niece of the late Consul Rajeiia Enylch. The pair had met several times before, when Dovira was still an army officer. Adelheid agreed to marry him, and they were wed later in the year. It is believed by some that Dovira married her out of political convenience due to her relation to Consul Enylch. Regardless of Dovira's actual intentions in marrying her, they became a loving couple and their marriage produced two children-- Crown Prince Tzuenyan and later Princess Ieiyang.
2. Reforms and Constitution
To curb warlordism, Emperor Dovira abolished military control of certain cities and provinces, returning control of those areas to civilian authority. Emperor Dovira gave a great deal of power to provincial governors, so that they could be able to respond quickly in emergencies. He also cut down the military and sold many outdated warships, aircraft, and weaponry. The Imperial Government later restored the Imperial Kannexian Armed Forces--the new name for the military forces of Kannex--to its original size. Military technology was also improved and the Imperial Kannexian Armed Forces became one of the largest and most modern military forces in the world by the 2010s.
Emperor Dovira and his ministers saw a need for a constitution to define the government and list its powers and responsibilities, as well as the basic rights of Kannexian citizens. On August 25, 2003, the Imperial Constitution was ratified and approved by Emperor Dovira and the newly-created Parliament. The Constitution provided for the position of Prime Minister, which would be appointed by the Emperor and approved by Parliament. The first Prime Minister was Lord Marquess Robban Ingnis.
Another institution which was officially established by the Constitution was the nobility. The remnants of the old Nuuwaja nobility had gone into hiding when the 1982 Revolution swept the nation, and although they were often persecuted and targeted, many Nuuwaja nobles survived. During the Principality era, a new elite class of the wealthy and educated appeared. This elite class had a distinct culture and were the de facto nobility of Kannex before nobility was formalized.
The formalization of nobility, however, was met with much opposition, especially from republicans and socialists. Few wanted an elite class to rule over them like during the days of the Nuuwaja Dynasty. Leftist lobbying was successful to a point-- the new class nobility would have few real powers other than preference in Imperial Court appointments and the usage of their noble title.

---

Early Years of the Empire
Once Emperor Dovira--who called himself the Wo-Myo Emperor (Wo-Myo is his era name)--consolidated his power and set Kannex on the road to rapid modernization, he got Kannex to be more involved in the international community. For the first decade, Kannex was an old nation under a new government.
The Great Empire spent its first decade fighting, strengthening, modernizing, expanding, and trying to regain the trust of the international community, which it had lost in 2002 when the Great Empire was established. Emperor Dovira had fought against the foreign-supported republicans during the Kannexian Civil War, and many nations--including Malecia and Mutanatia--did not trust the new Imperial Government.
Unfortunately, near the end of the decade, the Kannexian Empire dashed the trust of its fellow nations again when it launched an invasion of Pelhafor in 2009, in what was seen almost universally as an unjustified war of aggression and conquest.
~Evolved Daleks War
In 2003, a country named USSA was involved in a war with a country called the Empire of Evolved Daleks. USSA, desiring to stop the constant invasions and to liberate the people of Evolved Daleks from the iron rule of their government, invaded the Empire of Evolved Daleks with the aim of toppling its government and establishing a puppet regime.
The Imperial Government of Kannex saw this as the perfect chance to reestablish contact with the international community. Kannex sent 150,000 troops to fight alongside USSA and other foreign nations (including Globexanter) in invading Daleks. This was very unpopular among the Kannexians, as they had just emerged from a deadly Civil War. Kannex later withdrew much of its troops, though it continued to provide aerial and naval support until the Empire of Evolved Daleks surrendered to the Allies and came under occupation.
~End of the Space Program
While Consul Rajeiia Enylch gave plenty of funding to the civilian space program and saw potential in space exploration, Emperor Dovira apparently saw no use for it. The Kannexian National Space Agency's budget was slashed and many of its employees were laid off. When the Imperial Government scrapped and sold its old Hanuel-Xusan Space Station, many sadly declared the end of Kannexian involvement in space.
In reality, however, Kannex continued its space research, although it was given military oversight and its main goal was to develop possible space weapons and better intercontinental ballistic missiles.
~Détente and Alliance with Malecia
Both the Imperial Government and the Government of the Republic of Malecia expressed desires to improve Kanne-Malecian relations. Despite the Kannexian Civil War, Malecia was still Kannex's largest trading partner and many Kannexian companies had close ties with Malecian corporations. The Imperial Government saw that an alliance with Malecia was not only convenient, but also necessary.
On July 16, 2004, the Great Empire of Kannex and the Republic of Malecia signed Treaty of Friendship and Alliance, which guaranteed exclusive rights for Malecian companies operating in Kannex and vice-versa. The treaty also provided for cooperation between the two nations regarding defense technology, collective security, and environmental protection.
~Expansion
In 2005, the Imperial Kannexian Army rolled into Naanwespero and other "Western Territories" that were traditionally ruled by Kannex. The Western Territories had gained de facto independence after the Nuuwaja Dynasty collapsed, and the Principality had failed to regain them. Emperor Dovira, however, was determined to restore Kannex to its former glory and saw the Western Territories as the first step to international power.
The invasion of Western Kannex was met with stiff opposition from Kannexian Christian and other minority groups that lived in those autonomous areas. Resistance was crushed and martial law was proclaimed over the western territories. The Imperial Kannexian Army declared it was "restoring order to the West“.

---

Pureuda Cooperation Organization
In an effort to get the international community more involved with Kannex, the Imperial Government proposed the Pureuda Cooperation Organization (PCO), an intergovernmental mutual-security organization and a diplomatic forum. It was officially established on January 25, 2005 and was joined by ten other member states. This was, perhaps, one of the earliest intergovernmental diplomatic forums ever attempted. It is seen as a direct predecessor of the League of United Sovereign States and perhaps even the North Medius Alliance.
~Christian Naanwespero Rebellion
The rebellions in the newly-annexed Western Territories had been largely put down by 2006, but a large resistance movement still remained. At the head of this movement were the Christian separatists of Naanwespero, who desired a separate, Christian government for Naanwespero. These radicals participated in an uprising in Naan-Gaaii City of Naanwespero on December 12, 2007, which sparked off a rebellion of Naanwespero Christians.
Though the Imperial Kannexian Army was able to squash the Christian rebels in three months, the Imperial Government was worried that another rebellion would occur. The Christian rebels had been well-armed and were found to have imported weapons from certain PCO countries. Seeing this, the Imperial Government passed a PCO resolution which cracked down on the black market, especially illegal sales of weapons.
~Pelhafor War
Prime Minister Robban Ingnis's earlier achievements are often overshadowed by the 2009-2011 conflict which claimed 130,000 Kannexian lives and cost billions of derwens. The Pelhaor War spelled the end of Ingnis's administration and the beginning of the notion that the Great Empire could be defeated. This would lead up to the military buildup later in the 2010s.
1. Background
The histories of Kannex and Pelhafor were closely intertwined, even before the Pelhafor War. The ancient and medieval dynasties of Kannex had always saw Pelhafor, a large piece of land across the Tynfiska Sea, as part of their domain. Many were content with leaving Pelhafor as a de facto independent tributary state, but other dynasties preferred to invade Pelhafor and forcefully turn it into a Kannexian colony. For this reason, Pelhaforans remained suspicious of Kannexian motives up until the 21st century.
2. Prelude to war
In 2009, Kannexian relations with Pelhafor had strained. The Imperial Kannexian Navy often clashed with the Pelhaforan navy over disputed territorial waters. The government of Pelhafor also reaffirmed its claim that Eunsaek Island and Pureuda Island were rightfully islands of Pelhafor. This claim irritated the Imperial Government, who still exercised strict control over those two islands.
The Kannexian Ministry of National Security had received information earlier in the year that the Pelhaforan government was knowingly harboring terrorists and criminals that were wanted in Kannex. These included Nuuwaja loyalists, anarchists, and Naanwespero Christian extremists.
On July 20, 2009, a Pelhaforan plane took off from Aina Airport and headed straight towards Kannex. The Kannexian military, alarmed by the unknown aircraft, shot down the aircraft, killing at least 30 Pelhaforans. This angered the Pelhaforan government, who demanded compensation and an apology. The Imperial Government refused.
Starting August 2009, Kannex asked the Pureuda Cooperation Organization for official backing to invade Pelhafor, reasoning that Pelhafor was harboring terrorists and was a danger to international stability. The resolution did not pass, partially due to the opposition from fellow PCO member Mutanatia.
3. War breaks out
On November 12, 2009, a declaration of war was wired to the government of Pelhafor. The following morning, droves of Kannexian aircraft bombarded the cities of Pelhafor, causing many casualties. This was followed by an amphibious invasion of Vindyek City from Eunsaek Island. The Imperial Kannexian Armed Forces were able to overcome the initial weak resistance from Pelhaforan forces.
Although the movement to declare a full PCO-backed war on Pelhafor failed, PCO nations such as Globexanter and Agenopolis did send plenty of military aid. The ill-equipped and ill-trained Pelhaforan forces were little match for Kannexian forces, but as the war progressed, Kannexian forces found themselves facing stiff resistance, especially from Pelhaforan guerrilla fighters and insurgents. In some cases, the Pelhaforan forces, despite using outdated cavalry units and tank models, fought the Kannexians to the death.
United States of Alkatine, a nearby superpower, intervened in the conflict, sending tens of thousands of US Marines to defend Pelhafor. After a year of fighting, Kannex was exhausted and many Kannexians were tired of fighting. The Treaty of Wespero (December 27, 2010) ended the war with Kannexian withdrawal from Pelhafor and the rise of Pelhafor as a regional power in its own region, Qwendra. Pelhafor forfeited claims to Kannexian-administered Pureuda and Eunsaek Islands, along with other smaller islands.
Intervention in Sibovea
In the spring of 2011, the Republic of Sibovea, a small island nation in the South Medius, had been taken over by the dictator Tobias Ray, who violently suppressed pro-democracy protests, disbanded workers' unions, outlawed opposition, centralized private farmland, and declared martial law over Sibovea. Student protests were forcefully dispersed, often with bloodshed.
Kannex, Globexanter, and other nations condemned these actions of Sibovea. When a unit of the Ku-Ray Police mutinied and established a revolutionary base at Albygona, the Kannexian Parliament authorized war and sent an initial 150,000 troops to Sibovea in an "intervention", and was followed by Globexanter. The Sibovean dictatorship was eventually overthrown and democracy was restored after three months of fighting.
Elitonzuiver Rebellion
On July 4, 2011, a rebellion rose in Koenigfaste Colony, the first and largest Kannexian Colony. It was led by the slave-owning Elitonzuiver class. The rebellion took over southern Koenigfaste but was eventually pushed back by the "Firey Hail Spring Offensive" by Imperial Kannexian Armed Forces. The Kannexians crushed the rebellion on December 26, 2011 and abolished slavery throughout the Kannexian Empire.
Colonial Race and Seven Days' War
On December 2011, the Kingdom of Agenopolis colonized the strait between Yuropia and Aprica, now known as Giblerter Strait. As this strait is the gateway between the Centraterranean Sea and the Anguis Ocean, the invasion and colonization of the strait was a blow to Kannexian shipping. To compensate for this, Kannex sent troops to colonize areas in Aprica, despite the protests of the Kingdom of Takaram. The Sumaryia Colony, located on western Aprica, and Naanvudei Colony, located on the southern tip of Aprica, were set up in February 2012. In response, Agenopolis colonized more areas of Aprica, beginning what is now known as the "Colonial Race".
1. Takaran expansion
Feeling threatened by Kannexian and Agenopolitan colonization in Aprica, the Kingdom of Takaram announced that it would expand its territory and set up "protectorates" to defend native peoples from colonization. Takaram also announced plans to colonize Deiyerjye, an archipelago in Southeast Ajia, near the South Medius Ocean.
Despite warnings that the Takaran Navy would attack any force trying to interfere in the colonization, the Imperial Government sent the Koenigfaste Fleet of the Imperial Navy and colonized Deiyerjye on June 11, 2012.
2. Outbreak of the Seven Days' War
Staying true to their word, approaching Takaran forces attacked a Kannexian naval patrol in the South Medius Ocean on June 25th, 2012. The Koenigfaste Fleet, stationed in Deiyerjye, quickly responded and retaliated, resulting in a prolonged naval battle in the South Medius. Both Kannex and Takaram quickly responded to this incident by declaring war on each other. Within hours, the war spread to Takaran waters, Koenigfastian airspace, and even to Sumaryia Colony as both nations tried to end the war quickly through the use of devastating air power.
During the week-long battle on the South Medius, both countries employed several new technologies for the first time. The Imperial Kannexian Navy used a system of making shock-waves in the water to destroy incoming torpedoes for the first time, while the Royal Takaran Navy tested out an improved version of their CIWS system.
After days, it seemed as if this conflict would become a very long war. The Imperial Government did not want to get involved in a prolonged conflict thousands of miles away. The Imperial Government, led by Prime Minister Jahun Agagisan, went into negotiations with the Takaran government.
3. Treaty of Komrad
The result was the Treaty of Komrad, signed aboard the Kannexian battleship Komrad. This treaty ended the war, which lasted only from June 25 to July 3, 2012. The entire conflict lasted just over a week, which prompted the Kannexian public to refer to it as the One Week War, or the Seven Days' War. Kannex was allowed to keep Deiyerjye Colony, while Takaram was allowed to colonize the parts of Southeast Ajia that had not been already colonized.
The Seven Days' War was seen by some as victory, as Kannex was able to keep its Deiyerjye Colony, but it was seen by others as an unnecessary war and a humiliating defeat. This is given as one of the factors for the rise of Kannexian militarism later on.
End of the Pureuda Cooperation Organization
In September 2012, the Aprican nation of HumanSanity was engulfed in a coup d'etat which led to the downfall of the democratic government and the installation of a brutal dictator. The remnants of the democratic government of HumanSanity appealed to the Pureuda Cooperation Organization for help. PCO nations were also concerned that the dictator of HumanSanity would attack neighboring nations.
1. Intervention in HumanSanity
From September to November 2012, Kannex participated in a PCO intervention in HumanSanity, called Operation Restore Sanity. Kannexian, Malecian, Takaran, and Mutanatian forces launched an amphibious invasion of HumanSanity, defeating much of the HumanSanitarian coastal defenses.
On November 2nd, 2012, the dictator was overthrown by a coup and the democratic government was restored. The new rebel regime of HumanSanity asked that the PCO forces withdraw. The Imperial General Headquarters (Kannexian chiefs of staff), however, demanded that the HumanSanitarian government surrender unconditionally to PCO forces, which HumanSanity strongly opposed. The Kannexian delegation to PCO urged the other member-states to continue military operations in HumanSanity, but the other PCO members, especially Mutanatia, opposed further conflict in HumanSanity, especially against the new democratic government.
2. Cessation of Hostilities
PCO forces and the government of HumanSanity finally made a peace treaty, much to the dismay of the Imperial General Headquarters. PCO and HumanSanitarian military forces would jointly police the country for at least a year, though the internal affairs of the nation would be free from PCO interference.
3. Dissolution of the PCO
Near the end of Operation Restore Sanity, Mutanatia quit the Pureuda Cooperation Organization due to disagreements regarding how the military operation should be carried out and to what extend the PCO should interfere in other nations' affairs. Other member states followed suit. The Pureuda Cooperation Organization was dissolved on March 17, 2013, a month after the founding of the League of United Sovereign States.

---

League of United Sovereign States
The League of United Sovereign States (LUSS) would have a significant impact on Kannex from the organization's creation onwards. It was created by the government of Mutanatia and was seen as Mutanatia's answer to the PCO. The League of United Sovereign States was meant to be an international forum of diplomacy and a more peaceful organization than the PCO.
The Great Empire of Kannex was offered a permanent seat on the League's Security Council, consisting of 5 permanent members and 2 temporary members. For Kannex, this meant both a recognition of Kannex's rising power and a sign of estrangement between Kannex and the other nations.
Formation of the LUSS
The League of United Sovereign States was formed on February 28th, 2013. Many nations flocked to the organization, four of the five would-be Security Council nations: Malecia, Mutanatia, Globexanter, and Takaram. The Kannexian Empire was also offered a spot as a permanent member of the Security Council, but the Imperial Government hesitated in accepting it, fearful that it would make Kannex seem weak. On April 1st, 2013, the Imperial Government finally did join the organization, and became one of its leading members up to the World War.
Beginning of Kannexian Militarism
Around the same time, Kannexian militarism was on the rise, fueled by the outcomes of the Pelhafor War and the HumanSanity conflicts. Both were seen as humiliating defeats and signs that Kannex needed to "awaken" from its weakness. The 4-8 Incident which took place from April 8 to April 14, 2013, in which a group of idealistic officers and soldiers rebelled against the Imperial Government and attacked the Imperial City and Thu-An ward, only helped to quicken the rise of militarism.
1. Loss of Colonies
Meanwhile, the colonies of the world were revolting in a massive revolutionary wave, inspired by a similar insurrection in the Kannexian colony of Naanvudei. Agenopolitan, Birodalman, Kannexian, and Takaran colonies were sites of bloody uprisings by native peoples against their colonial masters. The Kannexian Empire was deeply affected, as the Imperial Army was unable to keep control of the colonies. Ultimately, almost all of the world's 17 major colonies were liberated by the end of summer 2013, with the exception of two-- Kannex's Koenigfaste and Agenopolis's Giblerter Strait Colony. The Kannexian Empire lost Deiyerjye, Sumaryia, and Naanvudei colonies, which was a severe blow to the prestige of the Empire.
2. North Medius Alliance
The Imperial Government saw the need to replace the PCO with a similar security pact. Kannex approached its traditional ally, Malecia, and their respective governments wrote up the Treaty of North Medius on December 22nd, 2013. This created the Alliance of North Medius Organization (ANMO), otherwise known as the North Medius Alliance. Takaram, a powerful Aprican country, was allowed into the alliance. The alignment of these three militarily powerful nations alarmed other nations, who attempted to form their own military alliances. One of them was the Yuropian Protectors, a security pact between Mutanatia and Agenopolis.
Koenigfaste Defense War
The Koenigfaste Defense War, otherwise known as the 2011 Invasion of Koenigfaste, accelerated the rise of the Koenigfastian independence movement and would be the effective end of the Kannexian colonial empire. The Koenigfaste Defense War is also believed to be one of the primary factors of the World War, as the debt and casualties caused by the Koenigfaste Defense War would hasten the demise of the moderate Agagisan Coalition Government and pave the way for a militarist regime to take over Kannex.
1. Background
Deiyerjye and Sumaryia were among the colonies that had gained their independence in the 2013 Revolutions. Although the people of Deiyerjye and Sumaryia had managed to cast off Kannexian colonialist rule after a bloody struggle, both countries were quickly taken over by military juntas and turned into dictatorships. Deiyerjye and Sumaryia, along with other former colonies, formed the Coalition of Independent Ajian and Aprican Nations, otherwise known as the Ajian-Aprican Coalition.
In Koenigfaste, much of the Kannexian military forces that had been sent there during the chaos of the 2013 Revolutions had withdrawn, leaving a small and ill-equipped Koenigfaste Self-Defense Force to defend Koenigfaste Colony.
In October 2014, pro-democracy demonstrations erupted in Deiyerjye and Sumaryia. These protests were suppressed by the military junta, but many citizens continue to protest due to widespread poverty and lack of political freedoms. The leaders of the military junta saw Koenigfaste Colony, one of the few remaining colonies in the world, as their only hope for survival.
2. Invasion
On February 15th, 2015, the Ajian-Aprican Coalition invaded Koenigfaste Colony under the pretense of liberating it from the colony's Kannexian masters. The ill-trained and ill-equipped Koenigfaste Self-Defense Force was plagued by desertion and rampant corruption. The KSDF quickly fell apart as the Ajian-Aprican Coalition seized control of the Lutten Pureuda Islands and Enolawald Province of Koenigfaste. Massive aerial bombardment of Koenigfastian cities and military bases caused many casualties.
3. ANMO Intervention
By the end of March 2015, the Kannexian Empire was in a desperate situation. The Imperial Government had not yet mobilized enough troops to deploy to Koenigfaste, and seemed as if Koenigfaste Colony was to be lost to the invading Ajian-Aprican Coalition.
On April 1st, 2015, the Great Empire of Kannex invoked the North Medius Treaty for the first time in its history.
Kannex's ANMO allies, Takaram and Malecia, responded by sending their marine forces to help defend Koenigfaste. ANMO aerial and naval power battled the Ajian-Aprican Coalition in the Southern Gulf of Koenigfaste. Despite ANMO intervention, the Ajian-Aprican Coalition continued to have victories on land, successfully pushing into Kannexeland Province.
4. Turning Point
As Ajian-Aprican Coalition forces approached the city of Neu Freisthya, Koenigfastians from across the colony rallied to the viceroy's call to defend the city. As Neu Freisthya was named after the ruling dynasty of the Kannexian Empire, the fall of the city would mean a devastating blow to Kannexian and Koenigfastian morale.
Viceroy Ahiram Enylch, the Kannexian viceroy of Kannex, ordered that all young Koenigfastian men were to resist the Ajian-Aprican Coalition by all means. He also ordered that no civilians were to be evacuated from Neu Freisthya, as he believed the presence of civilians would increase the morale of Koenigfastian troops. This led to many civilian deaths as the Ajian-Aprican Coalition began aerial bombardment of the city, reducing many buildings to ashes.
From May 2015 to June 23rd of the same year, nearly a million Koenigfastian troops maintained a stubborn resistance at Neu Freisthya despite aerial bombardment and overwhelming firepower from the Ajian-Aprican Coalition. These Koenigfastians formed the Wasekhaya Army; Wasekhaya being a native name for Koenigfaste. A majority of the Koenigfastian troops were simply civilians that had taken up arms to the defend the city. These Koenigfastians fought with homemade weapons and guerrilla warfare. Koenigfastian sniping also took a toll on Coalition forces.
In late June, Kannexian ground and aerial forces arrived, surrounding the Coalition forces in Neu Freisthya. The Coalition forces finally surrendered to both Koenigfastian and Kannexian commanders.
5. Counterattack
Thousands of ANMO troops flooded into Koenigfaste beginning late June. After the devastating losses at Neu Freisthya, the Coalition found itself at a lack of manpower. Naval supply routes were also being hampered by ANMO naval forces.
In August 2015, Imperial Marines, in cooperation with Malecian and Takaran forces, attacked Lutzberg and captured the city. Hundreds of Coalition soldiers were killed or captured.
On September 9th, 2015, a combined multinational fleet comprising of carrier strike groups from the three ANMO nations clashed with a large incoming fleet of Coalition ships in a massive naval battle off the southern coast of Koenigfaste that eclipsed that of the Seven Days' War in terms of ships involved and casualties. After the loss of several ships, many aircraft, and hundreds of men on either side, the Coalition fleet finally withdrew on September 12th.
With the Coalition fleet defeated, the ANMO took control of the Southern Gulf, preventing the exhausted Coalition land forces from being reinforced or resupplied. Coalition resistance in Enolawald Province collapsed almost immediately after the news of the Coalition naval defeat came in. Coalition forces were pushed to the Lutten Pureuda Islands, where they were under siege by ANMO naval, ground, and aerial forces.
6. Coalition Surrender
on September 28th, 2015, General Marius Dezmene, commander of the remaining Coalition forces in Koenigfaste Colony, surrendered to Koenigfastian General Pesseju Dibalgar and Kannexian Commodore Dovira Ebodafyao, who were representatives of the Wasekhaya Army and the North Medius Alliance respectively. This ended the bloody war that claimed the lives of over 2 million men, women, and children.
Gutanese Question
In late 2015, the tensions in Gutan, an island nation in the South Medius Ocean, seemed to be rising. Tannenberg declared its support for the northern government, the Republic of Gutan. Tannenberg and North Gutan, along with the Federation of Bob, were determined to squash Gutanese pirates, which were alleged supported by the southern government, the rebelling Democratic States of Gutan. The Democratic States of Gutan, as well as the Great Empire of Kannex and the United Kingdom of Globexanter (which are its top trading partners) denies these claims.

World War (2016-2017)
The North Medius War, or popularly known as the World War [Thai-Goi Dai-Zhyan] (also known as the Greater East Ajia Holy War or the Greater North Medius War in Kannexian wartime propaganda) was a major war centered in the North Medius Ocean region. It involved most of the world's great powers, which were assembled in two opposing alliances: the Axis (centered around the Pureuda Alliance Pact) and the Allies (centered around the remaining members of the League of United Sovereign States after Axis members quit the League).
Background
1. Nationalism in Kannex
The Kannexian nationalist movement began in the later years of the Nuuwaja Dynasty, when it seemed like the corrupt Nuuwaja regime was selling the Kannexian people to foreigners. The 1982 Revolution, which overthrew Nuuwaja imperial rule, was led primarily by nationalists influenced by republicanism. The nationalist movement strengthened in opposition to Consul Rajeiia Enailuch during the Principality era and won a great victory in the Kannexian Civil War in which Emperor Dovira came to power.
As Emperor Dovira began to lean towards the interests of businessmen and the aristocracy in the 2000s, however, the nationalists began to look upon Emperor Dovira rather unfavorably. Disgruntled with the Westernization of Kannexian culture, rise of "alien" parties such as the Communist Party, and growing corruption in the bureaucratic Imperial Government, many nationalists joined the radical right-wing Fatherland Party.
2. Economic and diplomatic woes
The Empire's war debt stretched back to 2009, when Kannex and its PCO allies embarked in an abortive invasion of Pelhafor as "punishment" for hiding terrorists and infringing on Kannex's national sovereignty. The conflict, which lasted from November 2009 to December 2010, cost 130,000 Kannexian lives and billions of derwens. Months later in 2011, Kannex intervened in Sibovea at the request of its allies. The Elitonzuiver Rebellion of the same year freed slavery in Koenigfaste and aroused support for the Imperial Government from around the world, but this was soon negated by the 2012 Colonial Race in which the Empire competed with Agenopolis and Takaram to colonize areas of Aprica and the South Medius Ocean. Kannex's and Takaram's competing claim for the resource-rich island of Deiyerjye sparked off the Seven Days' War (which, despite the name, actually lasted nine days). While brief, the war spread to Koenigfastian and Takaran airspace, the South Medius Ocean, and the Centraterranean Sea within hours of its commencement. The Treaty of Komrad ended the conflict, which was seen by many Kannexians as a disgrace and a humiliating defeat. Calls to "avenge" this defeat were silenced after Kannex and Takaram became allies under the North Medius Treaty.
Perhaps the beginning of the end was Operation Restore Sanity, when the Imperial Government, in its wisdom, called for military intervention in HumanSanity in order to overthrow the coup-installed dictatorship and restore democracy. However, the invasion force, consisting of Kannexian, Malecian, Takaran, and Mutanatian forces, was poorly organized despite being superior to HumanSanitarian defenses in terms of firepower. Plans for military operations were delayed, and after radical leftist rebels seized control of the capital in HumanSanity, the PCO was negotiate an armistice. Many Kannexians blamed the foreign countries, notably Mutanatia, for the failure of the coup de main to accomplish its intention of defeating the HumanSanitarians in one stroke.
The establishment of the League of United Sovereign States by Mutanatia, and Mutanatia's subsequent invitation to the Kannexian Empire, was met with great debate among the factions of the Imperial Government. Emperor Dovira chose to join the LUSS, which greatly dismayed the conservative factions. Support for LUSS was at an all-time low during the worldwide colonial revolution in 2013, which caused nearly all the colonies in the world (aside from Agenopolis's Giblerter Strait and Kannex's Koenigfaste) to become independent. Many of these colonies came under the control of military juntas and became parties to the Ajian-Aprican Coalition, which vowed to free all remaining colonies, including Koenigfaste.
The Koenigfaste Defense War is considered to be the last straw. In 2011, the Ajian-Aprican Coalition invaded Koenigfaste Colony under the pretense of colonial liberation. Kannex and its ANMO allies, Malecia and Takaram, helped defend Koenigfaste. Despite less than a year, the Koenigfaste Defense War claimed the lives of over 2 million persons on either side of the conflict, including nearly 17,000 Kannexans. The war and its aftermath, in which Kannex spent billions of derwens rebuilding Koenigfaste, contributed to the dissatisfaction with the Imperial Government by much of the Kannexian populace.
3. Iliadic Unrest
Around the same time, Archdeacon Serafeim Tiburtius seized power in the Catholic nation of the Ilium in a coup against Abbess Xanthe Delfino-Ricco. Claiming the Abbess's death, he transformed the Ilium into a militaristic police state.

Current Kannexian Embassies

Nations of Ajia

• The Federation of Bob [Bo'abu] is a plutocratic republic that is west of Kannex. It is economically powerful and its large bureaucracy is almost entirely dominated by pro-business officials and businessmen. Bobean economic power reaches many foreign nations. Diplomatic ties were cut during the 2016 Kannexian political crisis, but ties were reestablished in the summer of 2017, after the North Medius Conflict.
  
  • Yenzhang Akukhu [2011-2016] [2017-]
    
  
  
• The Imperium of Mankind [Imperi or Nen-gan zhi Imperi Dai-Tei-Kuo] is an oligarchic, theocratic monarchy in Southeast Ajia. The Imperium is known for its deification of its emperor and its imperial cult, arguably the largest in the world. Its emperor, it is said, sleeps eternally in a frozen vault. In actuality, the country is run by a council of religious leaders and bureaucrats. Prior to the North Medius Conflict (a.k.a. the World War), Kannex and Imperium entered into the Pureuda Pact Alliance and fought alongside each other during the conflict. Kannex sends millions of derwens in aid to Imperium every month in order to help the country support its starving population. Bobean and Kannexian businesses have frequently fought over control of the Imperian economy and continue to do so.
  
  • Hungmyo Jwateng

Nations of the Medius Ocean area

• The Kingdom of Surdra [Suuverda] is a constitutional monarchy in the North Medius Ocean, north of Malecia and east of Kannex. It declared itself neutral in the North Medius Conflict and has, since then, remained officially neutral in the de facto cold war that followed. However, it is seen as politically leaning towards the Allied nations, as Surdra joined both the League of United Sovereign States (LUSS) and the Alliance of North Medius Organization (ANMO) in 2017. The Kannexian name for Surdra, Suuverda, is often lampooned for sounding like suuweda, a Kannexian word for "sweater". Surdra has stood with Kannex in several disagreements, however, including in the crisis with the expansionist Robloxica in 2017.

Medius nations

• The Republic of Malecia [Maliisha Gyung-He Kuo] is presidential constitutional democracy located primarily on a single large island at the center of the North Medius Ocean. It is located east of Kannex, across the Sea of Kannex. Malecia was Kannex's closest ally beginning from the years of Consul Rajeiia Enailuch's rule, but began to sour immediately during and after the Imperial Restoration. Relations were restored after the Kannexian Civil War and the two countries maintained a prosperous relationship in the 2000s decade. Both nations joined ANMO (Alliance of North Medius Organization, or North Medius Alliance), a military alliance that initially consisted of Malecia, Kannex, and Takaram. In 2016, after Emperor Gyotai took over and established the Pureuda Alliance Pact with Imperium, Deiyerjye, and Ilium, relations began to sour from that point until the Invasion of Malecia during the North Medius Conflict. After the war, Malecia and Kannex still have not reestablished diplomatic relations.

[shadow=red,left,300]PEOPLE/POLITICS: Table of Ranks[/shadow]

The Table of Ranks [Jyeu-Te'ong Deng-Kap Byao-Kyak lit. Imperial Court Ranks Tabulation] is a formal list of positions and ranks in the Imperial Court of the Great Empire of Kannex. It was introduced in 1741 during the reign of Emperor Ryorika, the first ruler of the Tressar Dynasty. The Table of Ranks went through slight changes in the succeeding Nuuwaja Dynasty and was abolished by the 1982 revolutionaries, but was revived in 2003 with the founding of the Empire and the adoption of its Constitution.

The Table of Ranks applies only to the servants and officials of the Imperial Court, as the Elite Imperial Guard have their own system of ranks. The Table of Ranks determines the position and status of everybody in the Imperial Court according to service rather than according to birth or seniority. Thus theoretically every nobleman or commoner, regardless of birthright, starts at the bottom and rose to the highest rank that his native ability, education and service devotion to the state's interests would allow. Everybody has to qualify for the corresponding grade to be promoted; however grades 1 through 5 require the personal approval of the Emperor.

Achieving a certain level in the Table results in acquiring that or another grade of nobility. A civil servant promoted to the fourteenth grade is endowed with personal (non-hereditary) nobility, and holding an office in the fifth grade endowed the office holder with hereditary nobility.

Grade	Court positions	Degree of nobility	Style of address
I. Senior Grand Tutor, 1st Class [Ain-kap Tai-shii]	Grand Chamberlain [Tai Shihi-Chong] Grand Chief Secretary [Tai Sang-Shyu-Rling] Great Steward [Dai Ze'on Dai Pu] Treasurer

POLITICS: Amendments, Edicts, and Decrees
Imperial Edicts and Decrees Definition Edict #0056 - Describes and defines the official Kannexian terms of "edict" (vu gao) and "decree" (yewe rling). An imperial edict or decree is a constitutional imperial order issued by the Emperor of Kannex that can be nullified with the ruling of the Supreme Court. An edict is usually an order that demands the recognition of something, such as a new treaty or ambassador. A decree generally requires more action to be done. Passed without a vote.
Anti-Insurrection Act#0024- Passed during the Naanwespero Rebellion, this act makes raising a private army illegal, meant to prevent nobles from rising up as warlords, like in the case of the Viscount Benjamin Teku Peliazson, a noble who raised an army of his own and fought for the Rebels.
Furthermore, this also gives Provinces, Territories, and Colonies the right to raise a militia of up to 10,000 soldiers; any more would requre permission from the Imperial Kannexian government.
This act also allows nobles to raised private armies in times of invasion or emergencies, provided they have the permission of the Emperor and Supreme Court.
Amendment #1 abolishes slavery all over the Empire. This was passed almost immediately after the Imperial Kannexian Armed Forces successfully squashed the Elitonzuiver Rebellion in Koenigfaste Colony.
Koenigfaste Garrisons Act#2019 removes much of the Imperial Kannexian Armed Forces garrisons from Koenigfaste Colony and allows Koenigfaste to develop its own small military forces.

[Kannex]

CULTURE: Imperial City & Imperial Palace
^{*Note that Kannexian architectural style is not much different from real-world traditional Chinese architectural style.}
The Imperial Palace is located in a special ward in Hwaiteu-Gyomuen City called the Imperial City. Imperial City is surrounded by a large wall, thus contributing to Hwaiteu-Gyomuen's nickname, "the City of Walls". The Imperial City [Huangsing] is bordered at the east by Thu-An, another city ward that holds the Parliament Building and many other important government buildings.

Imperial City
The Imperial City (Huang-Sing) is a ward (subdivision) of the capital, Hwaiteu-Gyomuen City. As the Imperial City is home to the large Imperial Palace (the home of the Emperor) and many important figures, one must go through a security checkpoint before entering the Imperial City using any exit.
The Imperial City, aside from being the location of the Imperial Palace, is home to 8,000 residents (excluding the Elite Imperial Guardsmen which are stationed there), which includes nobles, bureaucrats, palace servants, and their families, who mostly live in relative luxury in good apartment buildings and mansions. Almost all of the buildings in the Imperial City are built in traditional Kannexian style and are kept extremely clean and neat.
~The Diplomacy Hall [Esdar-Gyao Dyen] is a two-story building in the Imperial City, outside of the North Winter Gate. Like many other buildings in this ward, it is built in traditional Kannexian style and is surrounded by a beautiful garden. The inside of the building, however, is built in a contemporary style so that the building could hold diplomatic meetings.
~Western Shadow Park is widely regarded as the cleanest park in all of Kannex. This is a favorite of the Imperial Family and many other officials. Some of the roads and areas are closed off and reserved exclusively for the Imperial Family and close friends and officials. It is located outside the western gate of the Imperial Palace, hence its name.
~The Temple of Heaven [Himinaz-Taan or more commonly Tin-Taan] is a complex of religious buildings near the Imperial Palace. The Temple of Heaven is of the State Ka'uri Faith and is thus of great importance. The Temple of Heaven grounds consists of a pagoda at the center and two pavilions at either side of the pagoda. Behind (west) of the pagoda is the Circular Mound Altar, the altar proper, where the Emperor sits and prays to Heaven in important religious ceremonies.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Heaven

Imperial Palace Structure
The Imperial Palace [Huang-Keo] is the home of the Emperor, his family, and the Imperial Court. It is essentially a large palace complex; a multitude of halls, pavilions, temples, and other buildings scattered over a wide area surrounded by a high city wall and an external moat. Within the palace walls, the palace grounds are separated into the Inner and Outer Courts by a moat and shorter wall.
~Walls and gates
>East Sun Gate [Tung Yang Muen] (also known as the Tressar Gate) is the largest and main gate to the Imperial Palace grounds. It is essentially a receding section of the Palace Wall that is flanked by protruding wings. On top of the East Sun Gate are several buildings that act as watchtowers. The Monument of the Empire is located here, near the Tressar Square.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meridian_Gate
>West Shadow Gate [Sei Yin Muen] is the western gate of the Imperial Palace, hence its name. As west (the direction) is associated with Yin, the dark, female part of the Yin-Yang concept, the West Shadow Gate is relatively quiet and is rarely used. However, as the West Shadow Gate leads directly to the Inner Court, it is heavily guarded. The gate exits to the Eastern Shadow Park just outside of the Palace.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KoukyoSeimon.jpg
> The north and south gates are called Wentra Bei Muen ("Winter North Gate") and Sumara Naan Muen ("Summer South Gate").
>There are corner towers at the four corners of the Imperial Palace, overlooking the long moat.
~Outer Court (Tsen Jyeu)
>The Khan's Square is the large courtyard that one encounters after entering the Palace from the East Sun Gate. The ground is made of paved stone. Directly connected to the Khan's Square are the Imperial Horse Stables, Imperial Library, and a parking lot.
>The Imperial Horse Stables are a group of buildings for keeping and breeding imperial horses for ceremonial or recreational use. Other animals are also housed here.
>The Imperial Palace Library contains a large collection of important documents, scrolls, books, and other texts. Some of the fastest computers in Kannex are located here. Only those with imperial clearance may enter or check out books. Most of the books are not available for checkout.
>The Brilliant Peace Hall is the reception hall for greeting visiting dignitaries and is where diplomatic talks are held. It is also where the Emperor performs some of his official state ceremonies and functions. In front of the Brilliant Peace Hall is a large plaza in which assembled nobles or troops stand and listen to speeches given by the Emperor, who stands behind the bulletproof glass on the veranda of the Brilliant Peace Hall.
>The Great Hall of Abundant Joy is the state dining room and is used for receptions, luncheons, and large formal dinners. It is a grand building with lots of space for tables and performances.
>The Palace Servants' Apartments are located near the northeastern corner of the Imperial Palace, and are where 600 of the Palace's servants retire to after their work. The area is gated and one must get clearance from security guards in order to enter or leave.
>The Outer Court Dining Hall is a building near the Palace Servants' Apartments where palace servants usually dine and eat. Those with quick-payment accounts may order takeouts.
>The Imperial Weapons Depot is an underground, semi-secret chamber somewhere in the Outer Court, fully known only by the Emperor, his top bureaucrats, Elite Imperial Guard officers, and Imperial Engineers. It is rumored that dozens of tanks, thousands of firearms, and many other weapons are stored in this depot, ready for emergency use in the case of an attack on the Palace. The Depot has never been used since it was constructed, even during the 4-8 Incident of 2013, when the Palace was under attack by coup d'etat forces.
~Inner Court (Hau Jyeu)
>The Palace of Illustrious Brilliance [Ming-Wa Gung] is the primary palace building of the Imperial Palace and is at the center of the Inner Court. The palace serves as the Emperor's audience hall and office, as well as one of his two residences. To confuse assassins, the Emperor randomly sleeps in one of the nine large bedrooms (each having three beds) in the back of the building. The Emperor's Throne Room is also located here.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Heavenly_Purity
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Palace_Museum_6.jpg
>The Hall of Mental Cultivation [Iong-Khert Dyen] is a relatively small (but significant nevertheless) building directly south of the Palace of Illustrious Brilliance. It is the Emperor's and Empress's residence and consists of a front hall and a back hall, the latter being the Emperor's bedroom.
www.beijing-tours.cn/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Central-Hall-of-Mental-Cultivation.jpg
>The Palace of Precious Treasures [Qei-Bau Gung] is a palace building that is located far north of the Palace of Illustrious Brilliance in the Inner Court. It is a relatively small three-story mansion surrounded by a garden and a gate that is home to the immediate Imperial Family's children. Currently, it is the residence of Crown Prince Tzuenyan.
>The Lotus Flower Music Hall [Rang-Wa Ngau-Tong] is a music hall located near the southwestern corner of the Imperial Palace. The octahedron-shaped hall is made up of ferro-concrete and each of its eight walls is decorated with differently designed mosaic tiles. It is located in the Freisth Gardens.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Imperial_Palace_Tokyo_Tokagakudo_Music_Hall.jpg
>The Western Teahouse [Sei-Fong Cha-Nguk] is a teahouse that is located near the northwestern corner of the Imperial Palace, in the Freisth Gardens.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kokyo0097.jpg
>The Freisth Gardens consists of gardens stretching from the northwestern corner to the southwestern corner of the Inner Court and Imperial Palace. It is filled with trees donated from every province, ponds, and small recreational buildings such as the Western Teahouse or the Lotus Flower Music Hall.

Other Palaces
~The East Palace [Tung Gung] is located 16 miles southwest of the Imperial Palace and is the official residence of the Gyotai branch of the Imperial Family. Archduke Gyotai, his wife, and his children all live in a big palace complex (albeit MUCH smaller than that of the Imperial Palace) consisting of dozens of Kannexian-styled buildings and pavilions, surrounded by a large garden and a wall.
~The Bright Peace Palace [Ming-An Gung] is located 9 miles north of the Imperial Palace is will be Crown Prince Tzuenyan's residence once he marries. It is currently unoccupied and managed by the Imperial Household Agency.
~The Seongjang Palace [Seongjang-Sing Gung] is an imperial residence and palace in Seongjang-Dol. Coronations and other grand ceremonies are sometimes held here, as Seongjang-Dol is regarded as the cultural birthplace of Kannex.

Modern Standard Kannexian [Kanne juu], or the Shzakannechi dialect [Shza hwa/Shuza hwa] of Kannexian, is the official language of the Great Empire of Kannex, and is spoken by over 4 billion people worldwide. Up until Kannex exited the League of United Sovereign States, Shza Kannexian was one of the official languages of the organization. The Kannexian family of languages, aside from the Shza dialect, also contains several other regional and ethnic dialects.

Written Kannexian
Modern written Kannexian is made up of two scripts - tzi-met], or the Kannexian alphabet, and Chinese characters which are called han-tzi. They may be used interchangeably. To a much lesser extent, Modern written Kannexian also uses phrases from the Latin alphabet such as "CD" and "DVD".
The Kannexian Alphabet
The Kannexian tzi-met is an alphabetic script consisting of 55 letters developed from outdated or obsolete hantzi characters. The tzi-met is used casually in everyday life and is used for learning how to read hantzi characters. The tzi-met is taught in all Kannexian schools starting from prekindergarten or kindergarten.
Hantzi: Chinese characters
A hantzi is a logograph used in writing Kannexian. Its real-world counterpart, the hanzi (also known as kanji in Japan or hanja in Korea) originated in China. Many complex words and terms are written in hantzi. Some hantzi have several possible pronunciations. Hantzi are almost always used in official documents, especially to distinguish between homophones. Knowledge of ~2,140 hantzi characters is required to read a modern Kannexian newspaper, though a well-educated Kannexian adult may know well in excess of 4,000 characters.
The total number of hantzi or Chinese characters from past to present remains unknowable because new ones are developed all the time – for instance, brands may create new characters when none of the existing ones allow for the intended meaning. Hantzi characters are theoretically an open set and anyone can create new characters as they see fit. Such inventions are however often excluded from officialized character sets. It is estimated that there are over 80,000 characters in existence.

Dialects
As Kannex originated as an ancient empire of several different ethnic groups, there are many varieties of the Kannexian language sometimes grouped together as the Kannetic languages, the primary ones being the Shuza dialect, Luchino dialect, the Tesoro dialect, and the Cheneri dialect. These are not mutually intelligible, and even many of the regional varieties are themselves composed of a number of non-mutually-intelligible subvarieties. As a result, foreign linguists typically refer to these varieties as separate languages. For sociological and political reasons, however, most Kannexian speakers and Kannexian linguists consider them to be variations of a single Kannexian language, and refer to them as dialects, translating the Kannexian terms hwa, juu, and fong-ngen. The neologism topolect has been coined as a more literal translation of fongngen in order to avoid the connotations of the term "dialect" (which in its normal English usage suggests mutually intelligible varieties of a single language), and to make a clearer distinction between "major varieties" (separate languages, in foreign terminology) and "minor varieties" (dialects of a single language).

• Shuza Kannexian
  
  • Shuza Kannexian (also called the Shza dialect or the Shzakannechi dialect, or even 'Shuzakese') refers to group of related Kannexian dialects spoken across most of central and eastern Kannex, especially in South Shatuna Province and Hwaiteu Municipality.
    These dialects have pronounced regional variations in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Nonetheless, the variation within Shuza Kannexian does not compare with the much greater variation found within several other varieties of Kannexian.
    As Shuza dialects are used by much of the ethnic majority, the Shzakannechi ethnic group, these dialects are very influential. Shuza dialects, particularly the Hwaiteu dialect, form the basis of Standard Kannexian, which is generically referred to as "Kannexian" or sometimes "Mandarin Kannexian".
    
  
  
• Cheneri Kannexian
  
  • Cheneri Kannexian, more commonly known as Zonjanese (which may refer specifically to the Seongjang dialect of Cheneri), is a primary branch of Kannexian spoken in southern Kannex.
    The issue of whether Cheneri is a language in its own right or a dialect of a single Kannexian language depends on conceptions of what a language is. Like the other branches of Kannexian, Cheneri is considered a dialect for ethnic, political, and cultural reasons, but it is also considered a distinct language because of linguistic reasons. Spoken Zonjanese is mutually unintelligible with other varieties of Kannexian, though intelligible to a certain degree in its written form.
    Despite being called the Cheneri dialect, it is spoken by many people other than those of the Cheneri ethnic group. A more politically correct name for the language is Yutgyang hwa (in Shuzakese), or the "Yutgyang speech", though this is also inaccurate considering Zonjanese is not only spoken in Yutgyang Province, but also in a large part of southern Kannex.
    Zonjanese is close to real-world Cantonese (which incidentally is used in the neighboring nation of Fusang) in the fact that it has six tones. A Zonjanese sound usually consists of an initial (onset) and a final (rime). Zonjanese has considerably less consonants (such as the zh, th, tr, and kh) than Shuzakese.
    
  
  
• Tesoro Kannexian
  
  • Tesoro Kannexian, sometimes called Bomulese (which may also refer specifically to the Bomul dialect of Tesoro), is a branch of Kannexian which is spoken in southwestern Kannex, especially in Shrantung Province and parts of Ning-Haa and Van-Naan. It is famous among linguists as having one of the highest levels of internal diversity among the spoken Kannexian language families.
    Due to the influence of the Bomul dialect, Tesoro is often called Bomulese. Less formal terms include the "Shrangtung speech", Shrantung-Vannaan speech", and "southwestern speech".
    The Bomulese is a representative dialect of Northern Tesoro; it contains vocabulary and expressions from the entire Northern Tesoro area (northern Shrantung and northwestern Rubyas). With nearly 29 million speakers, Bomulese is also the largest single coherent form of Tesoro Kannexian. Like Shuza and Cheneri, Tesoro is not only spoken by members of the ethnic group which it was named after, but also by a large portion of the population of the Tesoro area.
    Bomulese is similar to real-world Shanghainese in the fact that it has five tones. There are many slack voiced consonants in Bomulese.
    
  
  
• Luchino Kannexian
  
  • Luchino Kannexian, also called Lwasinese (which may refer specifically to the dialect of Lunechita, the provincial capital of Lwasin Province), is a family of Kannexian languages spoken primarily in northern Kannex. This includes Lwasin Province, northern Aqedya Province, and much of Arqmanu Province. There is relatively little internal diversity among Luchino dialects.
    Luchino is similar to real-world Japanese in the sense that its vowels are all pure and that there are no diphthongs. A large number of characters are more than one syllable. The only unusual vowel is the high back vowel /ɯ/, which is like /u/, but compressed instead of rounded. Japanese has five vowels, and vowel length is phonemic, with each having both a short and a long version. All final consonants except for -n have been eliminated. Like Shuzakese, there is no tone system.
    The syllabic structure and the phonotactics are very simple: the only consonant clusters allowed within a syllable consist of one of a subset of the consonants plus /j/. These type of clusters only occur in onsets. However, consonant clusters across syllables are allowed as long as the two consonants are a nasal followed by a homorganic consonant. Consonant length (gemination) is also phonemic.

Military

Koenigfaste Defense Forces is the Koenigfaste branch of the Imperial Kannexian Armed Forces, consisting of both Koenigfastian natives and Kannexians, as well as some Tannenburgians. There are about 305,000 active troops.

Brief History
Koenigfaste was largely untouched by foreigners before the Tannenbergers came. The Tannenbergers first arrived in the late 18th century, but it wasn't until the 1940s that the Tannenbergers began ruling Koenigfaste as a colony. Aside from forcing their religion and Germanic culture onto the natives, the Tannenbergers left much governance of the colony to the native Lakanlasa Tribe, who were cannibals.

In the late 1980s, political unrest developed in Tannenberg, and erupted particularly after a city was bombed by rebels. A civil war followed, with the then-Principality of Kannex and the Federal Republic of Malecia being involved and sending troops. Imperial Tannenberg fell, and in its place a Republic was established, with President Lisa Mendez as leader. The new Republic of Tannenberg freed the colony of Koenigfaste, and it became independent for a brief while.

However, outrage over the war crimes committed by the Koenigfastian Lakanlasa Tribe (notably cannibalism and the killing of diplomats and prisoners) strained relations between Kannex, Malecia, Tannenberg, and Koenigfaste. The Principality of Kannex and Federal Republic of Malecia soon launched an invasion of Koenigfaste from August 14 to October 20th 1991, which led to Kannexian colonization of Koenigfaste in January 26, 1992.

Ahiram Grozartig Enylch, cousin of Prince Rajeiia Enylch, became Kannexian viceroy. The Enola Tribe became the dominant tribe after Kannexian takeover; the Kannexians granted its leader, King Din'ga'an, the title of Khan Af Al Enola Teute (Khan [King] of the Enola Tribe).

Koenigfaste remained in the hands of the Kannexian colonial government even through a Tannenberger invasion of the mother country, Kannex. In the summer of 2011, however, a rebellion arose in Koenigfaste, led by the Elitonzuiver. The Elitonzuiver were a class of landowners that were of mixed Tannenberger and Kannexian blood. The Elitonzuiver wanted to keep their black slaves, but the Imperial Kannexian Government wanted to abolish the institution of slavery. In the end, the Kannexians reestablished control over Koenigfaste and abolished slavery in Koenigfaste.

In 2013, a massive revolutionary wave shook the world. Colonies across the world, including those of Kannex, were revolting and declaring independence. While Kannex's Sumaryia, Deiyerjye, and Naanvudei Colonies successfully won their independence, the Imperial Kannexian Armed Forces were able to crush the revolt in Koenigfaste. Afterwards, Kannex withdrew much of its forces, leaving the responsibility of local defense to the Koenigfaste Colonial Self-Defense Forces.

On February 15th, 2015, Deiyerjye and Sumaryia, both ex-colonies now ruled by military juntas, invaded Koenigfaste Colony under the pretense of liberating it from Kannexian rule. Soon, other member states of the Ajian-Aprican Coalition, a military alliance formed by mainly ex-colonies, joined in and invaded Koenigfaste.
On April 1, 2015, the Empire of Kannex invoked the North Medius Treaty and asked Takaram and Malecia, the other two ANMO members, for military aid.
The ill-trained, ill-equipped, and ill-funded Koenigfaste Self-Defense Forces, despite the promise of foreign aid, quickly fell apart. Enolawald Province fell to the Coalition in late April. Coalition forces began advancing into Kannexeland Province.

The turning point came in the late spring and summer of 2015, with the Battle of Neu Freisthya. Starting May 2015, the Koenigfastians conducted a determined defense of the city. Tens of thousands died in Coalition bombings and attacks, but the Koenigfastian troops, led by native Koenigfastian general Pesseju Dibalgar, held fast to the city until ANMO reinforcements could arrive, which they did on the 31st of the same month.
With the arrival of ANMO aerial and land forces to the Battle of Neu Freisthya, the allied ANMO and Koenigfastian forces surrounded Coalition forces. Coalition forces in the city surrendered June 23rd.

In September of the same year, a huge naval battle was fought in the Wasekhaya Gulf, off the coast of southern Koenigfaste. ANMO naval forces were able to defeat incoming Coalition forces and surround the Coalition garrison in Neu Pureuda Island. On September 28, 2015, the remaining Coalition troops in Koenigfaste surrendered, ending the long and deadly war. Over 2 million lives had been lost, including about 1.5 million Koenigfastian civilian deaths.

[Kannex]

Kannexeland is the chief administrative province of the Colony of Koenigfaste (Ko-en-ihsh-fas-te Kolonii) and is where the colonial capital, Rajastadt, is located. It is named after Kannex because it is closest to the mother country, and the Kannexian arrived in Kannexeland first when they conquered Koenigfaste.Many pureblood Kannexians straight from the mother country reside here, as well as many administrative buildings and government offices.
Kukshren Province is known for its bent mountain peaks and occasional flurries of snow during the winter. Its provincial capital is Neu Murong ("New Murong"), named after a city in the mother country. Kukshren consists mostly of pureblood Kannexians, some Elitäronzuiver (mixed Kannexian and Tannenbergian blood), and a few free Gebürtigleute (natives).
Abetesuma Province is a province on the east coast of Koenigfaste. Its provincial capital is Neu-Keslerheim, which is regarded as the dividing point between western and eastern Abetesuma. Eastern Abetesuma, near the coastal area, consist of many Elitäronzuiver and a few Kannexians and Tannenbergians. Western Abetesuma consists of mostly rich land-owning Elitäronzuiver who own slaves and large plantations.
Belpaterland is the province located on the southeast. Its provincial capital is Tlon, which was formerly the colonial capital when Tannenberg had Koenigfaste under its foot. Of the five provinces, Belpaterland has the most pureblood Tannebergians as well as the most slaves. Rich Elitäronzuiver live in large rural mansions away from the coastal areas, running large plantations consisting of hundreds of enslaved Gebürtigleute to plant, grow, and harvest Koenigfaste's main cash crops-- indigo, tobacco, rice, and cotton.
Enolawald Province is given a rather large degree of autonomy due to the Enola, the dominant Gebürtigleute tribe, living there. The official capital is Enolaburg, and is where King Din'ga'an, the chief of the Enola, rules over his territory. Aside from the Enola, several smaller subordinate and allied tribes also reside there, free from enslavement. The Enola themselves own a few slaves from conquered tribes, such as the Lakanlasa, which used to be the dominant tribe until a Kannexian-led coalition of Kannexian, Malecian, and Tannenbergian forces overthrew it.

Alliance of North Medius Organization
The Alliance of North Medius Organization (ANMO) is an intergovernmental military alliance based on the North Medius Treaty which was signed April 2013 by delegates of the Empire of Kannex, Republic of Malecia, and Kingdom of Takaram, three militarily powerful countries in the 10000 Islands that are also permanent members of the LUSS Security Council. The organization constitutes a system of collective defense whereby its member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party.

Charter of the ANMO

Treaty for the Organization of an Alliance of Nations of the North Medius Ocean, or the Alliance of North Medius Organization.

The Parties to this Treaty reaffirm their faith in the purposes and principles of the Charter of the League of United Sovereign States and their desire to live in peace with all peoples and all governments.
They are determined to safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilization of their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. They seek to promote stability and well-being in the North Medius area.
They are resolved to unite their efforts for collective defence and for the preservation of peace and security. They therefore agree to this North Medius Treaty:


We, the undersigned nations of the Empire of Kannex, the Kingdom of Takaram and the Republic of Malecia, recognizing the need for mutual protection and desiring to foster an alliance for the mutual and common defense,

Resolve to abide by this treaty which provides that

1. All signatories will provide mutual military aid in the event of aggression;
2. All signatories shall, without reservation, defend from attack the sovereignty of other nations who are signatories to this treaty, but only at the request of the defending nation and;
3. Will at no time engage in hostile action toward another alliance member without provocation or Resolution by other signatories of this treaty;
4. Shall not engage in hostile action against signatories to the charter of the League of United Sovereign States or the Pureuda Cooperation Organization without provocation or Resolution of signatories to this treaty;
5. Will take steps to ensure that the Security of the Organization is not infringed upon by a hostile nation;
6. Resolve that an attack against one member of this alliance by an external party is an attack against all members
7. For the purpose of Article 6, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack:
* on the territory of any of the Parties in Ajia or Aprica, on the islands of Malecia, on the territory of or on any other Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Medius area north of the 40 degree line of latitude;
* on the forces, vessels, or aircraft of any of the Parties, when in or over these territories or any other area in Aprica in which occupation forces of any of the Parties were stationed on the date when the Treaty entered into force or the Centraterranean Sea or the North Medius area north of the 30 degree line of latitude.


Title 1. Military Standardization


Within 6 months of the adoption and ratification of this treaty, member states will begin to standardize the following:
1. Ammunition, allowing for common supply lines
a. All ammunition that is standardized will bear on all containers and packaging in the following order: classification, caliber, type, designator, and the letters “NMO” signifying that it is a standard type used by treaty members. (E.G., Cartridge, 7.62mm, Ball, RC881, NMO).
2. Aircraft marshalling signals used by ground crews so that any member’s aircraft can land at any member’s base
3. A standardized phonetic alphabet to enable more efficient communications
4. Standardized formations so that forces can operate more efficiently when necessary


Title 2. Organization


In the event that military action becomes necessary, a commander will be appointed by the signatories for the duration of said action. All other signatories will recognize the commander’s authority.

Failure to abide by decisions from the command authority will constitute a treaty violation.

The commander will have the overall authority to assign military tasks to signatories, and will have the authority to gather military intelligence as he/ she sees fit.

Where the commander may require, signatory military personnel will render advice and tactical and strategic opinions as necessary.

Where the commander may require, necessary intelligence will be communicated to him to ensure that troops in conflict are fully supported.

No signatory nation will take aggressive action toward the League of United Sovereign States.

Other nations may petition to join, but shall only be admitted pursuant to unanimous agreement of the founding members.

The Parties hereby establish a Council, on which each of them shall be represented, to consider matters concerning the implementation of this Treaty. The Council shall be so organized as to be able to meet promptly at any time. The Council shall set up such subsidiary bodies as may be necessary; in particular it shall establish immediately a defense committee which shall recommend measures for the implementation of collective security.

Other Titles or Articles can be added and existing Titles or Articles may be struck pursuant to unanimous agreement of founding members.

Military Structure
The ANMO retains a military structure of command for both peacetime and wartime.
While the ANMO is ultimately governed by its 3 member states, the Secretary-General chairs the ANMO Council which makes decisions. Resolutions are reached by unanimity and common accord. There is no voting or decision by majority.
The Supreme Allied Commander is the chief military officer of the Alliance of North Medius Organization, and is the head of the central command of the organization. The Supreme Allied Commander reports to the Secretary-General and the 3 member states. The position is often held by a Takaran.
Under the Supreme Allied Commander are the subordinate positions of Allied Commander of the Air Forces, Allied Commander of the Armies, and Allied Commander of Naval Operations, overseeing the aerial, ground, and naval (marines included) military operations of the organization respectively. Under these commanders are various units under the command of their various officers.

MILITARY: Organization of the Imperial Kannexian Navy
Imperial Kannexian Navy forces are divided mostly into fleets, which are organized to correspond with their respective unified commands. Fleets are based on a specific naval region. For example, the North Medius Fleet holds responsibility over much of what we call the North Medius Ocean.

List of Fleets
Note that "Suma-Luei class destroyers" are akin to heavy cruisers, and thus do not belong to any "Destroyer Regiment".

~North Medius Fleet
The North Medius Fleet holds responsibility for protecting Kannexian shipping and conducting naval warfare in the North Medius Ocean. Its area of responsibility stretches from the Tynfiska Sea (northeast of Kannex) to the waters of Yuropian nations, including Malecia. The North Medius Fleet shares with the Northern Ocean Fleet the mission of protecting Kannex from Pelhaforan attack if such a scenario were to occur. The North Medius Fleet is also meant to protect Kannex and its ally Malecia from a possible Mutanatian, Agenopolitan, or Tannenbergian attack.
The North Medius Fleet has its headquarters at Kaprising Naval Base, Arqmanu Province. The Fleet currently oversees 128 ships home-ported at naval installations along the east coast. Most of the ships are home-ported at Kaprising or Maejangbomul Naval Base. The North Medius Fleet's commander is Vice-Admiral Jahun B. Qazz.

The Koenigfaste Fleet also holds responsibility for waters up to about 1000 miles from the coast of Koenigfaste. The Koenigfaste Fleet was originally meant to protect Koenigfaste from Takaran attack, but since the formation of the Alliance of North Medius Organization (ANMO) and Kannex's new friendship with Takaram, the Fleet has been used to protect Koenigfaste from countries like Greater New Tannenberg, Agenopolis, Deiyerjye, and Kopeny.
The Koenigfaste Fleet's headquarters is at Manago Naval Base, but it has a large base at Pisk-Hyang-Sing, a seaport on an island off the coast of mainland Kannexeland Province, Koenigfaste Colony. Its commander is the celebrated First-Class Admiral [Ain-Kap Saiwi-Zang] Hwaibiek Bomul.
