Baiyung Government

Territories under Baiyung Government control are what was known as The Great Jade Empire of Cathay, where, according to some sources, gunpowder and the compass were invented. A birthplace of many famous philosophers and, as its believed, place where porcelain came from.

An empire with over 3000 years of recorded history, Cathay eventually succumbed to its inner problems, such as widespread corruption, inability to modernise and appearance of new political (and some not so political) movements - from radical "social" movements to wide range of conspiring military cliques. 35 years ago, so called "Summer Revolution" toppled the last Emperor and after a few years of strife and attempts of building a new, republican system, the country collapsed politically and descended in what was called "Warlord Era", with many different former officials and military commanders taking control over different provinces. Eventually, an uprising in the old capital city of Baiyung and the following chaos in the region allowed a group of a foreign industrialists and military advisors/mercenaries, together with some local officials and smaller warlords to take control of the province.

In following years, the new government took control over almost all recognised lands of old empire and solidified their control, despite several coup attempts. Thanks to Agivaean investments, The Baiyung Government was able to solve the problems with the lack of proper infrastructures (by building quite vast rail-road network), to start an industrialisation campaign and finally put newly found deposits of natural resources, including iron, coal and even oil, to good use.

Now, the second generation of mixed native-non native government rules the country with caution and is about to sign a full mutual defence pact with Agivaea - the pact that will grant Baiyung Government the chance to survive whats coming, or at least thats what many believe in.
