Since its beginning over 2600 years ago, Zohism has found converts and followers across the world, though it is most prevalent in South and Southeast Coius. Following the death of its founder, Soucius, his followers radiated out across Coius to find refuge from persecution and found communities. The conversion of Emperor Min both removed persecution and elevated Zohism to a state religion of the Xiang dynasty. Under the patronage of successive Shangean dynasties such as the Sun and Tao it saw a significant expansion across South Coius. The emulation of Shangean traditional governance and administration resulted in Zohism's spread outwards for a second time from its core in central Shangea. Aside from this, merchants and missionaries played a large role in proselytising to both rulers and communities. For the former conversion to Zohism, even nominally, was very attractive as it brought increased trade and relations with Shangea, as well as access to Zohist monks who could import Shangean technology, literature, and the system of Sengshui
