The '''Ryuuhou Doumei''' ({{wp|Japanese language|Senrian}}: {{lang|ko-Hang-KR|류우호우도우메}}, in {{wp|Kanji|Gyoumon}} {{lang|ja|龍鳳同盟}}), also known by the Estmerish translation '''Dragon-Phoenix Alliance''', is a term sometimes used to describe the {{wp|Special relationship (international relations)|special relationship}} between [[Estmere]] and [[Senria]], alluding to the close {{wp|diplomacy|diplomatic}}, {{wp|economics|economic}}, {{wp|politics|political}} and {{wp|military}} relations shared by the countries.

The concept of a Senro-Estmerish special relationship was first alluded to in the 1880s with the term '''Nikyouroku Doumei''' ({{wp|Japanese language|Senrian}}: {{lang|ko-Hang-KR|니꾜우로꾸도우메}}, in {{wp|Kanji|Gyoumon}} {{lang|ja|二兄鹿同盟}}; {{wp|English language|Estmerish}}: ''Two Brother Stags Alliance''), coined by [[tbd]] to refer to [[Empire of Senria|Senria]]'s political proximity towards [[Kingdom of Estmere|Estmere]] during the reign of the [[Monarchy of Senria|Emperor]] [[Keiou of Senria|Keiou]]. After the Senro-Estmerish relationship was referred to as the "dragon-phoenix alliance" by Senrian leader [[Katurou Imahara]] during the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], the term Nikyouroku Doumei was largely replaced by Ryuuhou Doumei.

The Ryuuhou Doumei has played an important role in the history of both countries, and by extension in the histories of both [[Euclea]] and [[Coius]]... [estmerish aid in senrian modernization, estmerish involvement in the senrian revolution, deep cooperation during the GW, lasting military and economic and political ties, cultural contact between the two countries]

Some critics deny the extent or existence of a Senro-Estmerish special relationship... [possibly noting its origins in unequal treaties, historical tensions over colonialism, economic competition between the two? or noting that both countries also have strong historical relationships with other countries - in estmere's case werania, in senria's case ansan and also arguably etruria and the translumine triangle - which maybe make the relation not actually that special]

==Name and terminology==

[initially called the ''nikyouroku doumei'', "two brother stags alliance", when it begins to emerge during the colonial period, but is not super common; this term references the use of the stag as a estmerish and senrian national symbol]

[during the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], when estmere gets really into phoenix imagery, [[Katurou Imahara]] turns it into ''ryuuhou doumei'', "dragon-phoenix alliance", during a meeting w/ [[Wolfgar Godfredson]]; this term also references national animals, swapping out real animals for mythical ones, and very quickly overtakes the earlier term]

[use of the senrian name is common even in non-senrian language publications, but use of the estmerish translation is also relatively regular]

[on occasion referred to as the "neue bruderschaft", alluding to the [[Alte Bruderschaft]] between estmere and werania, but this is not super common]

==History==

===Before the Keiou Restoration===

[intermittent 1600s-1700s contact]

[things really take off in the mid-1800s when estmere decides senria will be its foothold in south coius, lest the etrurians or gaullicans snatch it up; estmere bullies senria into giving up the isotamas] [in 1862, estmere is one of several powers which force the keisi legation district upon senria]

[senria does not like these things but it does make estmere an important economic partner and modernizing forces within senria, incl the emperor youzei, begin looking towards estmere]
[[File:Edward VIII wearing Kimono 1922.jpg|175px|thumb|left|[[Richard XIII of Estmere|Richard XIII]] wearing a {{wp|kimono}} while visiting [[Keisi]] in 1924.]]
===Keiou to the Senrian Revolution===

[after the keiou restoration, keiou actively courts estmere (and also werania) for help with development and modernization; a special relationship begins to really emerge]

[keiou is succeeded by suizei, a wet paper towel who caves to anti-euclean reactionaries and slows modernization, then by tenmei, who admires gaullica's military modernization and tries to pivot senria towards verlois; this is not good for senro-estmerish relations, and estmere begins giving support to anti-monarchist forces; this leads to the senrian revolution]

===Senrian Revolution through the Great War===

[estmere backs republicans during the senrian revolution, and the republicans win]

[senro-estmerish relations during the isiyama period, i guess]

[senria and estmere as parts of the [[Grand Alliance]] during the great war; godfredson and imahara as two military leaders given political power to fight back against the partial occupation of their countries, rapport there redefines and deepens the alliance]
