'''Orientia''', officially known as '''Republic of The Orient''' ([[wikipedia: Korean language|Korean]]: '''동연방국'''; /''tongyʌn paŋkuk''/) or simply '''The Orient''' is a {{wp|federal republic}} primarily located in the {{wp|Asia}}, it is bordered by [[Nusantara]] to the south, {{wp|Russia}} to the north, and the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}} to the east, {{wp|East Turkestan|Turkestan}} to the west. At 9 million square kilometers (3 million square miles), it is one of the world's largest country by total area. It is the most populous country in the world with 1.4 billion people, and its capital city is {{wp|Seoul|Hanyang}}.
'''Orientia''', officially known as the '''Republic of The Orient''' ([[wikipedia:Japanese language|Japanese]]: ''東洋海洋国''; /''toːhoː taioːko̞kɯ''/), or simply '''The Orient''', is a {{wp|transcontinental}}, {{wp|transoceanic}} federal republic located in the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}}. Spanning from the continent of {{wp|Asia}} through {{wp|Oceania}} to the {{wp|Americas}}, it covers an expansive area of 287 million square kilometers (110 million square miles), making it the second or third largest country in the world by total land area. With an estimated population of nearly 688 million people, Orientia is the second most populous country globally. The national capital is {{wp|Tokyo}}, and the largest cities include {{wp|Phoenix, Arizona|Hoozdo}}, {{wp|Lima}}, {{wp|Tenochtitlan}}, and {{wp|Narrm|Melbourne}}. It shares borders with [[Amenria]] to the west and south, the {{wp|Arctic Sea}} to the north, and the [[Texas Republic]] to the east.
 
Orientia emerged from the Pacific states of Amenria. Disputes over sociopolitical matters with Amenria eventually led to the [[War of Dusk and Dawn]], resulting in Orientia declaring independence on July 17, 2043. Since its founding, Orientia has evolved into a federal republic granting considerable autonomy to its territories, distinguishing itself as the sole republican state on Earth. Serving as a transcontinental and transoceanic nation, Orientia attracts a diverse array of ethnicities, including {{wp|Polynesians}}, {{wp|Altaic language|Altais}}, {{wp|Anglo|Anglicans}}, {{wp|Hispanics}}, and {{wp|First American|Americans}}. Notably, Orientia stands as the only non-theocratic country with the second-highest concentration of [[Awakened]] humans.


The region of what it is today Orientia, historically was one of the oldest inhabited places on the planet and home to one of the oldest civilizations; the {{wp|Chinese civilization}}, considered one of the first cradles of civilization. Other ancient civilizations in the region that still exist today are the {{wp|Japanese}}, {{wp|Korean}}, and {{wp|Mongolian}} civilizations. Various other civilizations existed as independent polities in the east in the past, but were absorbed into neighboring civilizations in modern times. For thousands of years, China was the dominant civilization in the region until the [[Global Cataclysm|global cataclysm]] in 2035.
The region encompassed by modern-day Orientia holds a rich historical legacy, as one of the oldest inhabited areas on Earth and home to ancient civilizations. The {{wp|Chinese civilization}} flourished here, being one of the earliest cradles of civilization. Other ancient civilizations that persist to this day include the {{wp|Polynesian}} and Native {{wp|First American|American}} civilizations. While several independent polities once existed in the eastern region, they gradually merged with neighboring civilizations over time. {{wp|China}}, {{wp|Russia}}, and the {{wp|United States}} emerged as dominant civilizations in the region before the outbreak of the [[Third World War]].


Orientia is currently governed as a federal republic. It is is a permanent member of the [[Earth League Security Council]]. It ranks among the highest in measurements of civil liberties, government transparency, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and ethnic minorities.  
As a highly developed nation, Orientia boasts a substantial portion of the global gross domestic product (GDP) and holds the title of the world's largest economy by nominal GDP. The country excels in various sectors, particularly automobile and technology manufacturing, alongside a thriving service sector and mining industry. Arguably, Orientia ranks highest on the {{wp|Human Development Index}} among all nations, with commendable performance in areas such as healthcare, education, and overall quality of life.


Orientia is a recognized WMD state with the world's 8th largest standing army by military personnel, and the 3rd most powerful nation thanks to its large stock of mana ores, making its defense system highly advanced, comparable to {{wp|Confederate States of America|America}} and {{wp|Russia}}. It is considered to be a regional superpower due to its large markets, high innovation, economic potential, growing military strength, and influence in international affairs. Being one of the largest spiritual nation and having the highest concentration of [[Hunters]] in the world (2% of its population), Orientia is the leading country in terms of hunter education and martial guild count.
Recognized as a WMD state, Orientia maintains the world's eighth-largest standing army in terms of military personnel and holds the status of the third most powerful nation, thanks to its abundant reserves of [[Eternium]] and [[Celestium]]. Consequently, its defense system ranks highly advanced, comparable to that of [[Amenria]]. Orientia's robust economy, innovation, military strength, and influence in international affairs contribute to its status as a major global power. As the largest spiritual nation and home to the highest concentration of [[awakeneds]] worldwide (accounting for 2% of its population), Orientia leads in awakened education and possesses a significant number of awakened guilds.


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The name for the Orientia in {{wp|Korean language|Korean}} is written 동연방국 (pronounced Dongyeon Bangguk, meaning "Federal Republic of The East"), but often shorten as Dongguk or Tongguk. The characters 동국 mean "eastern country" or "country in the eastern edge". Dongguk (동국) is typically used to refer to the country adjectivally. Before 동국 was adopted in 2043, the pre-Orientia countries were known as China (exonym from Qin, fomerly a dynasty in China. The name of the country in Chinese, 中国, literally means "central empire"), Korea (from Goryeo, 고려, meaning "walled city" <ref>The word Korea is the {{wp|English language|English}} exonym for Goryeo. It was a native Korean word, probably pronounced something like "Guri", transcribed with various {{wp|Chinese characters|Chinese}} characters: 高句麗, 高勾麗, or 高駒麗 (고구려, Goguryeo), 高麗 (고려, Goryeo), 高離 (고리, Gori), or 句麗 (구려, Guryeo). The source native name is thought to be either *Guru ("walled city, castle, fortress"; attested in Chinese historical documents, but not in native Korean sources) or *Gauri ("center, middle"; cf. Middle Korean *gaβɔndɔy and Standard Modern Korean gaunde 가운데). </ref>), and Russia (Россия, meaning "country of Rus").  
The name for Orientia in {{wp|Japanese language|Japanese}} is 東洋海洋国 (pronounced Tōyō Kaiyōkoku), which translates to "Eastern Oceanic Republic." However, it is often abbreviated as 東国 (Tōkoku) or 東海 (Tōkai). The characters 東洋 mean "eastern" or "place where the sun rises," while 海洋 means "oceanic" or "crossing oceans." 東国 (Tōkoku) is typically used as an adjective to refer to the country. Prior to the adoption of 東国 in 2043, the pre-Orientia countries used various names to identify themselves. For example, Taiwan derived its ethnonym from "Tayowan," which was the name used by the indigenous {{wp|Siraya people}}. In Chinese, Taiwan is written as 台湾, which literally means "beautiful terrace." Japan is derived from the exonym "Nippon" or 日本, meaning "the sun's origin." Russia is known as Россия, meaning "country of Rus," where {{wp|Rus}} refers to a group of eastern Slavic people. Australia is derived from the Latin term ''"terra australis,"'' while New Zealand comes from the Dutch term ''"nieuw zeeland,"'' meaning "new sealand."


Orientia, the name of the country in {{wp|English language|English}} is the combination of ''orient'' meaning "east" and suffix ''-ia'' meaning land, which is the literal transliteration of the Korean name for the country. The word ''orient'' derived from Middle Anglican orient, oriente, oryent, oryente, oryentte (“the east direction; eastern horizon or sky; eastern regions of the world, Orient; eastern edge of the world”), borrowed from {{wp|Old French}} orient (“east direction; Asia, Orient”), or directly from its etymon {{wp|Latin language|Latin}} oriēns (“the east; daybreak, dawn; sunrise; (participle) rising; appearing; originating”).

==History==
==History==
===Ancient Chinese Dynasties and Mongolian Rulers===
===Lemurian Era===
The {{wp|Xia Dynasty}} of China (c.2100 BC to c.1600 BC) was the first dynasty described in ancient historical records such as {{wp|Sima Qian's Taishi Ji and Bamboo Years}}.
The pacific ocean of what is now part of Ascion's territory, was the site of the lost continent "Lemuria". The continent was heavily contested by many kingdoms ruled {{wp|Jinn|Jinns}}, each competing over for resources. The unending war resulted in the destruction of the continent, rendering it inhabitable. {{wp|God in Islam|God}} would later sunk the continent deep into earth's crust, and transformed the {{wp|Jinn|Jinns}} into a supernatural being of energy that cannot be touched, felt, or heard unless through a medium or accumulate a massive energy enough to merely appear.  
 
===Adamic Era===
{{main|Amenria#Adamic Era}}


This was followed by the Shang Dynasty, which ruled the Yellow River Valley. Classical depictions of Shang come from texts such as the Book of Documents, Bamboo Annals, and Records of the Grand Historian.
====Extraterrestrial Relations====
{{main|Amenria#Early relations with Hurites and Nodics}}


Later, {{wp|Zhou Dynasty}} came and ruled from 1046–256 BC, lasted the longest of any dynasty in Chinese history. The actual political and military rule of China by a dynasty called {{wp|Ji}}, lasted only until 771 B.C.E., in the period known as the Western Zhou. This period in Chinese history produced what many consider to be the pinnacle of Chinese bronze ware manufacturing. Dynasty also includes the period during which the writing of characters evolved into modern forms using ancient sacred characters that emerged in the late {{wp|Sengoku period}}.
===Antiquity===
Antiquity age of East Asia, Far East Russia, the Americas (North to South), and Polynesia witnessed the emergence of various civilizations and significant historical events.


At the same time, the regions of present-day {{wp|Mongolia}} and {{wp|Inner Mongolia}} were inhabited by nomads. The cultures and languages of these regions were fluid and changed frequently. The use of horses for herding and locomotion began in the {{wp|Iron Age}}. Most of Mongolia was under the influence of {{wp|Turkic peoples}}, while the southwestern part of Mongolia was mainly under the influence of Indo-European peoples, such as the {{wp|Tocharians}} and {{wp|Scythians}}. In ancient times, the eastern part of Inner and Outer Mongolia was inhabited by Mongols and many other tribes descended from East Lake.
In Japan, ancient civilization can be traced back to the Paleolithic era, with cultural developments during the Yayoi period (300 BCE - 300 CE). This period marked the introduction of rice cultivation, metalworking, and the establishment of organized agricultural communities. Buddhism from China had a profound impact on Japanese society during the 6th century CE.


These were {{wp|Tengrist}} pastoral kingdoms that were in close contact with the agricultural Chinese. The East Lake, a nomadic federation of various clans, existed in the 4th century BC. They constantly harassed the {{wp|state of Zhao}} in China (325 BC, early in Wuling's reign). To appease the nomads, Chinese rulers often provided important hostages and arranged marriages. In 208 BC, the Xiongnu emperor {{wp|Modu Changyu}} defeated Donghu, which split into new tribes of {{wp|Xianbei}} and {{wp|Wufang}}, in his first major campaign. The Xiongnu were the greatest nomadic enemies of the {{wp|Han dynasty}}, and after more than three centuries of war with the Han dynasty, they were disbanded. Xenbei then returned to rule the grasslands north of the Great Wall. The titles Kangan and Khan are derived from Xenbei.
Taiwan, known for its indigenous cultures, saw interactions with neighboring regions. The island's history is characterized by indigenous influences and subsequent colonization efforts. The indigenous Siraya people used the name Tayowan, meaning "beautiful terrace." Chinese colonization attempts in the 18th century led to significant Chinese migration to Taiwan.


===Korean Peninsula and relation with Japan===
North Asia particularly Siberia, hosted diverse indigenous cultures and tribes such as Buryats and Evenkis. Ancient civilizations like the Scythians (8th to 3rd century BCE) and Xiongnu (3rd century BCE to 1st century CE) left their mark. These societies adapted to the harsh environments through hunting, fishing, reindeer herding, and nomadic herding. The Mongol Empire's expansion in the 13th century also influenced the region.
[[image:Three_Kingdoms_of_Korea_Map.png|thumb|left|upright|200px|The Three Kingdoms of Korea]]Meanwhile, in the {{wp|Korean peninsula}}, there was a kingdom named {{wp|Gojoseon}}, claimed to be born in 2333 BC. Founded by {{wp|Dangun}}, who is said to be a descendant of the heavenly son and bear woman. Gojoseon spread its own culture to {{wp|Liaoning}} and the {{wp|Taedong River}} basin. In 108 BC, the Han dynasty of China, led by Emperor Wu, invaded and conquered the {{wp|Five Joseon dynasties}}. The Han installed four commanders to manage the former Gojoseon territory. After the 3rd-century schism of the Han Empire and his subsequent chaotic 4th century, the region was taken by the Chinese and recaptured by the Goguryeo Empire in 313. In 58 BC, the Korean peninsula was divided into three kingdoms: {{wp|Baekje}}, {{wp|Silla}}, and {{wp|Goguryeo}}. Despite sharing a similar language and culture, these three kingdoms were constantly at war with each other for control of the peninsula. In addition, Goguryeo was engaged in constant wars with China. These included the Goguryeo-Sui War, in which the Goguryeo Kingdom successfully repulsed the {{wp|Sui dynasty}}'s invading forces.


Silla joined forces with Tang and turned their attention to Goguryeo. The Silla-Tang Alliance won the Goguryeo-Tang War. Thus, in 668, Silla unified most of the Korean Peninsula. The kingdom's dependence on China's Tang dynasty paid a price. Silla had to vigorously resist the imposition of Chinese control over the entire peninsula. Silla then fought for nearly a decade to drive out the Chinese army and finally establish a unified kingdom as far north as present-day Pyongyang.
The Americas showcased a rich tapestry of civilizations. In North America, Native American cultures flourished, including the Ancestral Puebloans (from approximately 1200 BCE) in the southwestern region, known for their elaborate cliff dwellings and pottery traditions. The Mississippian cultures (9th to 16th century CE) created impressive earthworks and established complex social structures. The Iroquois Confederacy, formed around the 15th century CE, brought together multiple tribes in a political alliance.


On the other hand, the Japanese archipelago was settled more than 30,000 years ago, connected by land bridges to Japan and Korea. As sea levels rose, four major islands began to form about 20,000 years ago, and the land connecting present-day Japan with mainland Asia disappeared completely between 15,000 and 10,000 years ago. After that, migration across the Korean peninsula continued, and the Korean peninsula was the main route of cultural exchange between Japan and mainland Asia until the Middle Ages. The myths of ancient Japan, for example, are the Japanese creation myth and the ties of the emperor to the sun goddess {{wp|Amaterasu Omikami}}.
Mesoamerica, encompassing regions of present-day Mexico and Central America, witnessed the rise of renowned civilizations. The Olmec civilization (1200 to 400 BCE) developed a sophisticated society with monumental stone heads and influential cultural practices. The Maya civilization (from approximately 2000 BCE) thrived with advanced writing systems, intricate city-states, and astronomical knowledge. The Aztec Empire (14th to 16th century CE) established a powerful state centered in Tenochtitlan, characterized by complex social hierarchies and remarkable architectural achievements.


It was also during this era, {{wp|Taoism}} was founded. Which eventually became one of the official religion of Orientia.
South America boasted remarkable civilizations such as the Norte Chico civilization (around 3000 BCE) in present-day Peru, known for its impressive urban planning and monumental architecture. The Inca Empire (13th to 16th century CE) emerged as a dominant force, spanning a vast territory along the Andes Mountains. The Incas developed sophisticated agricultural systems, extensive road networks, and architectural marvels like Machu Picchu.
 
Polynesia, encompassing numerous islands in the Pacific Ocean, witnessed exploration and settlement by Polynesian peoples. These seafaring communities, including the Maori in New Zealand, Hawaiians, and indigenous peoples of Samoa and Tonga, developed navigational expertise, cultural traditions, and distinctive art forms. Monumental structures like the moai statues on Easter Island stand as testament to their achievements.


===Medieval, Renaissance to Modern Era===
===Medieval, Renaissance to Modern Era===
====The Decline of Silla and Mongol Invasion====
The Japanese medieval period is often referred to as the "Feudal Era." It began in the 12th century and lasted until the 16th century. During this time, the samurai class rose to prominence, and the country was politically divided into numerous feudal domains. The Kamakura Shogunate (1185-1333) and the subsequent Ashikaga Shogunate (1336-1573) exerted control over Japan, with periods of political instability and internal conflicts. Zen Buddhism gained popularity among the ruling class, influencing art, culture, and philosophy.
In Korean peninsula, Silla slowly began to decline, and the resulting power vacuum saw the rise of several rebellious states, adopting the old historical names of the ancient kingdoms of Korea. {{wp|Gyeong Hwon}}, a Silla army officer, took over the old Baekje territory and proclaimed him king of Ho Baekje ("Later Baekje"). Meanwhile, Goguryeo's Buddhist monk leader, {{wp|Gung Ik}}, proclaimed a new Goguryeo state in the north, known as Later Goguryeo (Post-Goguryeo). A protracted power struggle for control of the peninsula ensued.
 
While in Taiwan, its medieval history was shaped by various powers seeking control over the island. In the 16th century, European explorers, such as the Portuguese and Spanish, arrived in Taiwan. The island became a crucial trading post and witnessed conflicts between indigenous peoples and European colonizers. In the 17th century, the Dutch East India Company established a colonial presence, followed by the arrival of the Chinese Ming loyalists and eventual Qing Dynasty rule.
 
North Asia experienced the expansion of the Russian Empire during the medieval period. Russian explorers and traders ventured into Siberia in the 16th century, establishing trade routes and fortifications. The Russian conquest of Siberia continued through the following centuries, leading to the colonization of vast territories and interactions with indigenous Siberian peoples.
 
The medieval Americas saw the flourishing of powerful civilizations. In Mesoamerica, the Aztec Empire reached its height during the 14th to 16th centuries. The empire's capital, Tenochtitlan, became a magnificent city with grand temples and a sophisticated political system. In the Andean region, the Inca Empire continued to thrive, expanding its territory and constructing impressive architectural marvels, such as the citadel of Machu Picchu.
 
North America during the medieval era was characterized by the continued presence of diverse Native American cultures. The Mississippian cultures declined, but other indigenous groups, such as the Hopewell and the Ancestral Puebloans, maintained their cultural traditions and built impressive settlements and ceremonial sites. European explorers, including Christopher Columbus, made their way to the Americas, marking the beginning of the European colonization and the subsequent impact on indigenous societies.
 
Between the 10th and 14th centuries, Polynesian navigators embarked on expansive voyages, settling distant islands across the vast Pacific Ocean. These remarkable journeys, known as the Polynesian Expansion, led to the colonization of Hawaii (around 1000 AD), New Zealand (around 1280 AD), and other remote islands. Polynesian societies thrived, maintaining intricate social structures, linguistic diversity, and artistic traditions.
 
It was also during this period, several Hurite individuals in New Eden broke their non-interventionist clause and interacted with humans. Many Hurites came to Earth and engaged with East Asians, most notably Chang'E, who met a human named Houyi in China (now part of [[Amenria]]) and bestowed upon him the [[Elixir]]; and [[Kaguya]], who was sent to Earth as a baby, hidden inside a bamboo. She was found and raised by a human couple in Japan. As she reached adulthood, the Emperor of Japan at that time was captivated by her beauty and made contact with her. The Emperor exchanged letters and insisted on marrying her, while Kaguya refused over fears of the danger a human-Hurite hybrid would pose to the young planet. She stated and announced that she's not from Earth and would soon return to her home planet. However, the Emperor persistently pursued Kaguya, even going as far as chasing her when she was escorted by her biological parents to the Hurite moon station. The early contact between Hurites and humans would later lead to [[Mugen]]'s transformation.
 
===Modern Era===
The modern era in East Asia, encompassing Japan and Taiwan, Far East Russia, the Americas spanning from North to South, and the Polynesian region, marked a transformative period in history characterized by significant developments and key events.
 
In Japan, the modern era was ushered in by the Meiji Restoration in 1868. This monumental turning point saw the end of the feudal system and the restoration of imperial rule. Japan embarked on a rapid process of modernization and Westernization, adopting new technologies, implementing educational reforms, and introducing constitutional changes. The Meiji era laid the foundation for Japan's emergence as a major global power in the 20th century.
 
Taiwan's modern era was shaped by colonial influences. In the late 16th century, the island came under the control of the Dutch East India Company. Subsequently, Taiwan became part of the Qing Dynasty's realm in the 17th century and remained under Chinese rule until the 19th century. Following the First Sino-Japanese War in 1895, Taiwan was ceded to Japan and became a Japanese colony until the conclusion of World War II.
 
North Asia, which includes vast territories such as Siberia, witnessed substantial changes during the modern era. In the 19th century, the Russian Empire expanded its presence in the region, establishing settlements, developing industries, and constructing extensive transportation networks. The completion of the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1916 further facilitated economic growth and strengthened the integration of Far East Russia with the rest of the empire.
 
The modern era in the Americas was characterized by colonization, independence movements, and the formation of new nations. In North America, the United States achieved independence from Great Britain through the American Revolution in 1776. The 19th century witnessed significant westward expansion, leading to the establishment of new states. In Latin America, various countries, including Mexico, Brazil, and numerous South American nations, fought for and attained independence from colonial powers during the early 19th century.
 
Polynesia, along with other Pacific regions, encountered European explorers and colonizers during the modern era. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, European powers such as Britain and France exerted colonial control over certain Polynesian islands. The consequences of colonization varied across different Polynesian territories, resulting in diverse experiences of cultural assimilation and the loss of autonomy.
===Arrival of Hyperboreans===
{{main|Hyperborea}}
The Hyperboreans are elves and dwarves who currently reside in North Asia. Originally, they were the inhabitants of [[Realms of the Multiverse|Realm 7]], but sought refuge on Earth and have lived there permanently ever since. The centuries-long war between the human-elf coalition and the orc empire resulted in the destruction of Realm 7, leading to an unstable state in the universe. Mana bursts and dimensional rifts began appearing frequently across multiple parts of the universe, posing a danger to its inhabitants. Many of the elves, taking advantage of the thin barrier between Realm 7 and Realm 1, sought sanctuary on Earth.
 
Upon their arrival, the Hyperboreans established a significant civilization near the Arctic Sea, integrating with the {{wp|Altaic people}} who had inhabited the region for thousands of years. Over time, the Hyperboreans expanded across various parts of Eurasia, primarily focusing on the northern territories. While many of them assimilated into the Uralic peoples, the core of their culture and governance remained centered in the Hyperborean Federation in {{wp|North Asia}} and {{wp|Alaska}}.


In 918, {{wp|Gong Yi}} was deposed by his own generals and his former chancellor Wang Jian assumed the throne. {{wp|Gung Ye}} is said to have fled the palace, but was killed shortly thereafter by soldiers or peasants who mistook him for a thief. After his death, Wang Geon, would later be known as {{wp|King Taejo}}.
The Hyperboreans possess the ability to use magic, a technique similar to harnessing [[Qi]]. While Qi relies on internal energy derived from elementals, magic taps into external energy sources, such as natural forces, to empower oneself. They have mastered the manipulation of these energies for various purposes in their daily lives.


Shortly thereafter, the Goryeo dynasty was proclaimed, and Taejo defeated rivals Silla and Hu-Baekje in 936 to reunify the three kingdoms. After the Liao dynasty destroyed Balhae in 927, Balhae's last crown prince and many of the ruling classes took refuge in Goryeo, where they were given a warm welcome and land by Taejo. In addition, according to Korean historians, Taejo incorporated the crown prince of Balhae into the Goryeo royal family and unified his two successor states of Goguryeo, achieving "true national unification of Korea".
===Independence===
The independence of Orientia, a transcontinental and transoceanic country, can be traced back to a significant political conflict that unfolded between Tianshi, the reigning emperor, and Mugen, his trusted aide in the nation of Amenria. The ideological clash between the two individuals, with Tianshi upholding monarchism and Mugen advocating for republican principles, served as the catalyst for a profound transformation in the region.


In the early 13th century, in 1206, {{wp|Genghis Khan}} united the Mongol tribes into a unified {{wp|Mongol empire}}. The Mongols conquered most of modern East Asia. Meanwhile, China is divided into five states, which gave the opportunity for the Mongol army to invade northern China in 1211. Later in 1234, {{wp|Ogedei Khan}} overthrew the Jin dynasty.
In the years leading up to the independence movement, Mugen began sowing the seeds of rebellion. It was during the period from 2041 to 2042 that he founded the "Rising Dawn," a faction committed to challenging the prevailing political system within the Pacific states of Amenria. The movement quickly gained traction as Mugen articulated a vision for a more inclusive and democratic society, attracting a diverse range of individuals disillusioned with the existing order.
[[image:Genghis_Khan_empire-en.svg|thumb|right|300px|Genghis Khan's invsaion lines]]
Northern China was annexed by the Mongol Empire. In 1231, the Mongols launched an invasion of Korea and quickly conquered all Goryeo territories outside the southernmost tip. The Goryeo royal family retreated to the sea outside Seoul on {{wp|Ganghwa Island}}. Goryeo was divided, and the opposition forces resisted until 1275.


At the same time, Japan was seriously threatened by the {{wp|Yuan}} forces from the East Asian mainland. In 1274, {{wp|Kublai Khan}} appointed {{wp|Yudu}} in order to recruit Marshal Dongdu to command the Yuan forces. {{wp|Han Bing}} and the Goryeo army began the first expedition to Japan. The Yuan dynasty invaded Japan in two separate invasions, both of which were disrupted by natural typhoons. These two invasions both occupied the town of Kitakyushu before being swept into the sea. At the time the Yuan dynasty fleet was the largest fleet in the history of the world.
The rise of the rebellion marked a turning point in the history of Amenria. Mugen's charismatic leadership and unwavering dedication to his cause galvanized support and fostered a sense of hope among the populace. As discontent grew, the calls for change resonated across the nation, igniting a spark of revolution that would ultimately reshape the region's destiny.


In order to cope with the nationwide mobilization of the powerful Yuan army, Japan's economy and military were placed under severe pressure. The Japanese {{wp|Kamakura Shogunate}} had difficulty compensating its soldiers who had defended the country, which intensified the contradiction between the domestic warrior groups. The ruling system collapsed in the first half of the 14th century.
The culmination of the rebellion occurred in June 2042 when the rebels launched a daring assault on the capital city. The streets became battlegrounds as Mugen's forces confronted Tianshi's loyalists in a struggle for control and liberation. The conflict escalated, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake, as both sides fought fiercely to assert their vision of the future.


It was also at this era, gunpowder and paper printing were developed by chinese scientists.
The decisive encounter between Mugen and Tianshi became emblematic of the deep-seated divisions within Amenria. It represented not only a clash of political ideologies but also a clash of personalities and aspirations. The battle showcased the intensity of the struggle and the profound impact it would have on the nation and its people.


===Renaissance to Modern Era===
However, as the conflict raged on, the devastating toll it exacted on the land and its inhabitants forced both Tianshi and Mugen to confront the dire consequences of their actions. After a month of fierce fighting, a realization dawned upon them: the path to a brighter future necessitated compromise and reconciliation. Acknowledging the futility of the continued conflict, they engaged in negotiations, seeking a resolution that would bring an end to the bloodshed and pave the way for a new era.
====Korean Peninsula====
At the end of the Goryeo Dynasty, there was a great general named Yi Sung Gye. The King of Goryeo ordered him to capture Yeodong, but he resisted. However, although {{wp|Yi Sung-gye}} occupied Yodong, he returned to Goryeo and rebelled. His uprising was successful and he established the nation of Korea. {{wp|Taejo}}, the first king of Joseon, moved his capital to Hanyang<ref>Not to be confused with the Oriental capital, Hanyang which is a newly-built city, located west side in the Yellow Sea. The name "Hanyang" in the era of Joseon dynasty refers to the previous name of Seoul, the then-capital city of South Korea</ref>. {{wp|Sejong}}, the fourth king of Joseon, created {{wp|Hangul}}, the Korean alphabet. The 22nd {{wp|King Jeongjo}} of Joseon built {{wp|Hwaseong}} in {{wp|Suwon}}. {{wp|King Gojong}}, the 26th King of Joseon, renamed himself the Korean Empire. As the power of the Korean empire weakened, Japan occupied it for 35 years until its defeat in World War II in 1945. In 1950 there was a large and deadly war, the Korean War, in which millions were killed. As a result, Korea was divided into north and south until 2040.


====Mongolia====
In a historic moment of reconciliation, Tianshi and Mugen reached a mutual agreement. This watershed moment gave birth to Orientia, as Mugen's long-held dream of a new nation in the east, liberated from the shackles of the previous regime, became a reality. On July 17, 2042, Orientia officially declared its independence, marking a pivotal moment in the region's history.
By the late 17th century, most of Mongolia was part of the {{wp|Qing dynasty}}. After the Qing Dynasty fell in 1911, Mongolia declared its independence. But they had to fight the Chinese, supported by the {{wp|Soviet Union}}. In 1921 the world accepted their independence. Shortly after the death of Mongolia's last monarch, {{wp|Bogd Khan}}, the monarchy was replaced by a communist government in 1924 and the country was renamed the {{wp|People's Republic of Mongolia}}. Mongolia was a satellite state of the Soviet Union until the Soviet Union collapsed. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russian interest in Mongolia waned. Mongolia became an independent country, until 2040.


====Japan====
The journey towards establishing a stable and prosperous Orientia was fraught with challenges. Rebuilding shattered infrastructure, reconciling disparate factions, and fostering national unity became paramount objectives for the fledgling nation. Yet, despite the trials and tribulations, Orientia demonstrated resilience and a collective determination to chart its own course.
Japan was an isolationist state until the 16th century, where they started to trade with Portuguese, Dutch, and American merchants in the 1800s, resulted in {{WP|Meiji Restoration}}. Meiji Restoration of 1868 ended some old methods and added many new ones; the Empire of Japan was established, becoming a powerful nation and attempting to invade neighboring countries. It invaded and annexed the {{WP|Ryukyu Kingdom}}, Taiwan, and Korea. It also went to war with China and Russia.


In 1918, World War I allowed Japan, on the side of the victorious Allies, to conquer German territory in the {{wp|Pacific}} and China. It became part of World War II when Japan was allied with {{wp|Germany}} and Fascist {{wp|Italy}}.
Today, Orientia stands as a testament to the power of ideals and the unwavering spirit of those who strive for change. It spans vast territories across Asia, Oceania, and the Americas, embracing its transcontinental and transoceanic identity. Committed to democratic principles, cultural diversity, and socioeconomic progress, Orientia serves as a beacon of hope and a symbol of unity in an interconnected world.
[[image:Mamoru_Shigemitsu_signs_the_Instrument_of_Surrender,_officially_ending_the_Second_World_War.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Japan's surrender to the Allied Forces]]
In 1941, Japan attacked the US seaborne base Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, destroying or damaging many ships and aircraft. This started the US involvement in World War II. American and Japanese forces fought each other in the Pacific. Once air bases were established within range of mainland Japan, the {{wp|United States}} began to emerge victorious and began dropping bombs on Japanese cities. The United States was able to bombard most of the major cities and quickly brought Japan close to defeat. To force Japan to surrender, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on the cities of {{wp|Hiroshima}} and {{wp|Nagasaki}}, killing 150,000 Japanese. Shortly thereafter, the Soviets began fighting Japan, and Japanese forces in Manchuria were defeated. Japan surrendered and renounced all positions it had seized from other countries by accepting the {{wp|Postdam Declaration}}. The United States occupied Japan from her September 1945 to her April 1952, forcing Japan to draw up a new constitution. Japan joined the United Nations in 1956, and remained a constitutional monarchy until 2040.


====China====
==Geography==
During the {{wp|Renaissance}}, European powers began to dominate the rest of Asia. Around this time, {{wp|opium}} was rampant in China. From the 18th century onwards, foreign traders (mostly {{WP|British}}) illegally exported opium to China, mainly from {{wp|India}}, but this trade increased dramatically from around 1820 onwards. As a result, widespread addiction in China has caused severe social and economic turmoil. This led to what is known as the {{wp|First Opium War}}. The First Opium War between China and Great Britain lasted from 1839 to 1842. The dispute was the result of years of British attempts to use China as a market for British goods. Britain eventually relied on its superior military power to force a lucrative Chinese market, imposing illegal opium trade on the Chinese people.

[[image:1945_Mao_and_Chiang.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Chiang Kai-Sek and Mao Ze-Dong]]
Spanning North Asia, East Asia, the Pacific Islands, Australia, North America, and select Latin American countries, Orientia encompasses a diverse range of landscapes shaped by its unique geographic location.
Although China was never actually taken over by Europeans, many European countries such as {{wp|Britain}} and {{wp|France}} established spheres of influence in China. Cut off from the rest of the world by the Qing dynasty for centuries, China was technologically behind the rest of the world and could not prevent this. This was evident in the 19th century when Britain lost the Opium Wars.


In 1912, {{wp|Sun Yat-sen}} and the {{wp|Nationalist Party}} overthrew the monarchy and founded the {{wp|Republic of China}}. Over time, Marxist ideas became popular and the Communist Party was formed, which resulted in {{wp|Chinese Civil War}} between the Kuomintang (nationalists) of the Republic of China (ROC) and the communists of the {{wp|People's Republic of China}} (PRC). The communists wanted China to be like the Soviet Union, while the other side wanted to keep China the way it was then. Communists were led by {{wp|Mao Zedong}}. Communists won the war and acquired mainland China, founded the {{wp|People's Republic of China}} in Beijing on October 1, 1949. The nationalists (led by {{wp|Chiang Kai-shek}}) fled to the island of {{wp|Taiwan}} and established a new capital in {{wp|Taipei}}. While the PRC collapsed during [[World War 3]], the ROC (Republic of China) was absorbed by [[Nusantara]].
Geographically, Orientia is home to several prominent features. Majestic mountain ranges traverse its landscapes, offering breathtaking vistas and opportunities for outdoor exploration. In North Asia, the Kamchatka Peninsula boasts the mighty volcanic peaks of the Kamchatka Range, with the towering Klyuchevskaya Sopka as its highest summit. Moving eastward, the Changbai Mountains form a natural border between Orientia and China, with the iconic Mount Paektu standing as a symbol of national significance.


===The Cataclysm===
The Pacific Islands within Orientia are renowned for their stunning coral reefs, pristine beaches, and volcanic formations. These islands, such as the Solomon Islands and Fiji, exhibit a rich tapestry of marine biodiversity and geological wonders. In Australia, the Great Dividing Range stretches along the eastern coast, offering scenic mountain landscapes, lush rainforests, and dramatic waterfalls. Notable peaks within this range include Mount Kosciuszko, the highest point on the Australian mainland.
{{main|Global Cataclysm}}
====Invasion Period====
In 2035, anomalies were spotted accross the globe. Rampant appearances of wormholes--that'd later be known as "dimensional gates", started appearing in multiple countries. It was not until a year later where humanoid creatures known as otherworlders poured out of the gate, destroyed buildings and kidnapped everyone in their vicinity. Mainland China, and Mid-Western region of North America were the core location of these gates. The appearance of these gates resulted in heavy casualties and environmental disaster, as the area surrounding the portals were imbued with massive emanating mana, causing plants, and animals to grow abnormally.  


China fell into the hands of otherworlders in May 2036, with the otherworlder forces reached Manchuria by August 2036. Japan soon followed with otherworlders coming from Fukushima and Nagasaki, mainly composed of undead armies, decayed most of the land and forced them to use ballistic missile on population centres.  
Within the North American region of Orientia, Alaska boasts a rugged and diverse topography. The state is dominated by the awe-inspiring Alaska Range, home to towering peaks such as Mount McKinley (Denali), the highest peak in North America. Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve showcases massive glaciers and fjords, providing a glimpse into the region's glacial history.


North Korea was breached by otherworlders on spring 2037. Although defensive measures were taken, such as the use of nuclear warheads on otherworlder forces, aging weaponries, lack of support and incomparable amount of otherworlder forces caused the country to be destroyed in a mere few months. The leader, Kim Jong-Han, died in September 2037. South Korea also followed to take defensive measures by putting their forces along the DMZ, and emptied most of its cities including Seoul. Most of East Asian refugees were taken to Far East Russian territories, which were provided by the Russian government as temporary residence, helped by Russia's large arsenal to defend the camp from otherworlder attacks.
In Latin America, Orientia encompasses parts of Mexico and select countries within Central America, contributing to its geographical diversity. Mexico showcases a diverse landscape, with rugged mountains such as the Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre Oriental. The country also features vast plateaus and expansive coastal plains, offering a range of topographical features.


====Awakening and Retaliation Period====
Moving further south into South America, Orientia encompasses portions of Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia. The Andes Mountains, a dominant feature of the continent, traverse these countries, offering awe-inspiring peaks, deep valleys, and glacial landscapes. Chile boasts the majestic peaks of the Andes, including Ojos del Salado, the highest volcano in the world. Colombia's diverse topography includes the Andean highlands, the Amazon rainforest, and the Caribbean coast. Peru showcases the renowned peaks of the Cordillera Blanca, with Huascarán as its highest summit. Bolivia encompasses the Altiplano, a high plateau situated between the eastern and western Andean mountain ranges, along with the striking Uyuni Salt Flats.


The existence of dimensional gates caused the emergence of humans with superhuman abilities, due to the excessive mana charge from the gates.
These Latin American and South American regions within Orientia exhibit a wide range of climates, from tropical rainforests and coastal deserts to high-altitude mountainous regions. The Amazon rainforest, one of the world's most biodiverse regions, extends into parts of Orientia, contributing to the country's ecological richness.


Nam Ki-Hyun, the current president of Orientia was among one of the first human to be awakened as a superhuman. Awakened along with Ki-Hyun were other people in close proximity to the gates, mainly in South Korea. They'd later form a group "Baekdusan", led by Ki-Hyun and Kim Tae-Yong, to hunt the otherworlders. Their operatives were supported by the Korean military forces, with successful attempts to liberate North Korea from 2038 to 2039. The joint Baekdusan-South Korea military forces managed to regain control as far as Manchuria by  26 April 2039.
Orientia's geographical tapestry is further enriched by its location within the Ring of Fire, a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean known for its seismic and volcanic activity. The country lies along this tectonic boundary, resulting in a dynamic geological landscape with numerous active volcanoes, geothermal hotspots, and frequent seismic events. This geological significance contributes to Orientia's diverse landforms and adds to its natural allure.
[[image:Liberation_of_Xining.jpeg|thumb|right|300px|Liberation of Xining, 2040]]
Several groups similar to Baekdusan also appeared in other parts of the globe. These groups successfully liberated parts of their respective regions, and otherworlders were soon pushed back to retreat to their dimensions. The remaining otherworlders took refuge in Minneapolis and Xining by the end of 2039.


Baekdusan attended a global awakened meeting that was held in Truman tower in New York, February 2040. The meeting's discussion was mainly the transformation of these groups into legal entities such as "guilds", and the strategic measures to take Minneapolis and Xining. Baekdusan successfully regained control of {{wp|Xining}} in December 2040.
===Climate===
In terms of climates, Orientia exhibits a remarkable variety. In the northern regions of Orientia, including North Asia and Alaska, a subarctic climate prevails. Winters are long and cold, with temperatures often dropping below freezing, while summers are relatively short and cool. These areas experience significant snowfall during the winter months.


===Independence===
Moving southward into East Asia, which includes Japan and Taiwan, the climate transitions to a humid subtropical climate. Summers are hot and humid, with frequent rainfall and the occasional typhoon. Winters are mild to cool, with temperatures rarely dipping below freezing.
 
As Orientia extends into the Pacific Islands, Oceania, and Australia, the climate becomes more diverse. Tropical climates dominate many of the Pacific Islands, with warm temperatures throughout the year and high levels of rainfall. Oceania showcases a mix of tropical and subtropical climates, with the eastern regions experiencing more rainfall and the western regions being drier.
 
Australia, particularly the eastern and northern parts within Orientia, is known for its variable climate. The north features a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, while the east experiences a humid subtropical climate with mild winters and hot, humid summers. The central and southern regions of Australia are characterized by arid or semi-arid climates, with hot summers and relatively cool winters.


Orientia was previously occuppied by {{wp|Confederate States of America|American forces}} as a result of global partition plan stated in the [[Treaty of Taipei]]. East Asian refugees soon migrated back into the territory, and cities were rebuilt by joint American-Russian government with the help of Baekdusan guild. A pan-Asian alliance under Baekdusan guild was founded, but plans to transform the alliance into a single, legal entity was demanded by the [[Earth Alliance]]. A conference in Busan soon followed, attended by South Korean president {{wp|Lee Jun-Seok|Kim Jun-Seok}}, Japanese prime minister {{wp|Kenta Izumi|Masato Izumi}}, Chinese politician {{wp|Ma Mingzhao}} and Baekdusan representatives [[Nam Ki-Hyun]] and {{wp|Lee Tae-Yong|Kim Tae-Hyun}} to discuss the matter. It was agreed that East Asia would be merged into a single country. As a result of the conference, [[Pacific Charter]] was made, and Orientia was established in 19 August 2043.
In the Latin American and South American regions of Orientia, climates vary widely due to the diverse geographical features. Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America experience tropical climates, with high temperatures and varying levels of precipitation. The Andean regions of Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia feature a mix of climates, including temperate, alpine, and desert-like conditions, depending on the altitude.

According to the [[Oriental Constitution]], the country is an federation and semi-presidential republic, wherein the president is the head of state, and the prime minister is the head of government. Orientia is fundamentally structured as a multi-party representative democracy, with the federal government composed of three branches:
The politics of Orientia are characterized by a federal and semi-presidential republic system, where power is divided between the central government and regional entities. Orientia operates under a democratic framework with a robust system of checks and balances.

===Agriculture & Fishing===
Occupying one of (if not) the most fertile area on Earth, namely mainland Asia, Orientia is one of the world's largest producers and consumers of agricultural products, with approximately 30-40% of the total population engaged in agriculture, mainly those in the state of Zhongguo and Nihon. Orientia is the world's largest producer of fish and wheat, and a major source of rice, corn, tobacco, soybeans, potatoes and other staple foods. Important non-food crops also provide Orientia a small portion of its foreign trade earnings. Technological breakthroughs since the 2020s such as vertical farms, also opened ways for small Oriental companies to utilise a portion of urban areas for farming.

Orientia, officially known as the Republic of The Orient (Japanese: 東洋海洋国; /toːhoː taioːko̞kɯ/), or simply The Orient, is a transcontinental, transoceanic federal republic located in the Pacific Ocean. Spanning from the continent of Asia through Oceania to the Americas, it covers an expansive area of 287 million square kilometers (110 million square miles), making it the second or third largest country in the world by total land area. With an estimated population of nearly 688 million people, Orientia is the second most populous country globally. The national capital is Tokyo, and the largest cities include Hoozdo, Lima, Tenochtitlan, and Melbourne. It shares borders with Amenria to the west and south, the Arctic Sea to the north, and the Texas Republic to the east.

Orientia emerged from the Pacific states of Amenria. Disputes over sociopolitical matters with Amenria eventually led to the War of Dusk and Dawn, resulting in Orientia declaring independence on July 17, 2043. Since its founding, Orientia has evolved into a federal republic granting considerable autonomy to its territories, distinguishing itself as the sole republican state on Earth. Serving as a transcontinental and transoceanic nation, Orientia attracts a diverse array of ethnicities, including Polynesians, Altais, Anglicans, Hispanics, and Americans. Notably, Orientia stands as the only non-theocratic country with the second-highest concentration of Awakened humans.

The region encompassed by modern-day Orientia holds a rich historical legacy, as one of the oldest inhabited areas on Earth and home to ancient civilizations. The Chinese civilization flourished here, being one of the earliest cradles of civilization. Other ancient civilizations that persist to this day include the Polynesian and Native American civilizations. While several independent polities once existed in the eastern region, they gradually merged with neighboring civilizations over time. China, Russia, and the United States emerged as dominant civilizations in the region before the outbreak of the Third World War.

As a highly developed nation, Orientia boasts a substantial portion of the global gross domestic product (GDP) and holds the title of the world's largest economy by nominal GDP. The country excels in various sectors, particularly automobile and technology manufacturing, alongside a thriving service sector and mining industry. Arguably, Orientia ranks highest on the Human Development Index among all nations, with commendable performance in areas such as healthcare, education, and overall quality of life.

Recognized as a WMD state, Orientia maintains the world's eighth-largest standing army in terms of military personnel and holds the status of the third most powerful nation, thanks to its abundant reserves of Eternium and Celestium. Consequently, its defense system ranks highly advanced, comparable to that of Amenria. Orientia's robust economy, innovation, military strength, and influence in international affairs contribute to its status as a major global power. As the largest spiritual nation and home to the highest concentration of awakeneds worldwide (accounting for 2% of its population), Orientia leads in awakened education and possesses a significant number of awakened guilds.

Etymology

The name for Orientia in Japanese is 東洋海洋国 (pronounced Tōyō Kaiyōkoku), which translates to "Eastern Oceanic Republic." However, it is often abbreviated as 東国 (Tōkoku) or 東海 (Tōkai). The characters 東洋 mean "eastern" or "place where the sun rises," while 海洋 means "oceanic" or "crossing oceans." 東国 (Tōkoku) is typically used as an adjective to refer to the country. Prior to the adoption of 東国 in 2043, the pre-Orientia countries used various names to identify themselves. For example, Taiwan derived its ethnonym from "Tayowan," which was the name used by the indigenous Siraya people. In Chinese, Taiwan is written as 台湾, which literally means "beautiful terrace." Japan is derived from the exonym "Nippon" or 日本, meaning "the sun's origin." Russia is known as Россия, meaning "country of Rus," where Rus refers to a group of eastern Slavic people. Australia is derived from the Latin term "terra australis," while New Zealand comes from the Dutch term "nieuw zeeland," meaning "new sealand."

In the English language, Orientia is the name used to refer to the country, which is a combination of the word "orient," meaning "east," and the suffix "-ia," meaning "land." The term "orient" originated from Middle English and was borrowed from Old French. Its etymon is the Latin word oriēns, meaning "the east," "daybreak," "dawn," "sunrise," "rising," "appearing," or "originating."

In English, a citizen of Orientia is commonly referred to as an "Oriental." The term "Oriental" can also be used adjectivally to describe the country, such as in phrases like "Oriental values" or "Oriental forces."

History

Lemurian Era

The pacific ocean of what is now part of Ascion's territory, was the site of the lost continent "Lemuria". The continent was heavily contested by many kingdoms ruled Jinns, each competing over for resources. The unending war resulted in the destruction of the continent, rendering it inhabitable. God would later sunk the continent deep into earth's crust, and transformed the Jinns into a supernatural being of energy that cannot be touched, felt, or heard unless through a medium or accumulate a massive energy enough to merely appear.

Adamic Era

Extraterrestrial Relations

Antiquity

Antiquity age of East Asia, Far East Russia, the Americas (North to South), and Polynesia witnessed the emergence of various civilizations and significant historical events.

In Japan, ancient civilization can be traced back to the Paleolithic era, with cultural developments during the Yayoi period (300 BCE - 300 CE). This period marked the introduction of rice cultivation, metalworking, and the establishment of organized agricultural communities. Buddhism from China had a profound impact on Japanese society during the 6th century CE.

Taiwan, known for its indigenous cultures, saw interactions with neighboring regions. The island's history is characterized by indigenous influences and subsequent colonization efforts. The indigenous Siraya people used the name Tayowan, meaning "beautiful terrace." Chinese colonization attempts in the 18th century led to significant Chinese migration to Taiwan.

North Asia particularly Siberia, hosted diverse indigenous cultures and tribes such as Buryats and Evenkis. Ancient civilizations like the Scythians (8th to 3rd century BCE) and Xiongnu (3rd century BCE to 1st century CE) left their mark. These societies adapted to the harsh environments through hunting, fishing, reindeer herding, and nomadic herding. The Mongol Empire's expansion in the 13th century also influenced the region.

The Americas showcased a rich tapestry of civilizations. In North America, Native American cultures flourished, including the Ancestral Puebloans (from approximately 1200 BCE) in the southwestern region, known for their elaborate cliff dwellings and pottery traditions. The Mississippian cultures (9th to 16th century CE) created impressive earthworks and established complex social structures. The Iroquois Confederacy, formed around the 15th century CE, brought together multiple tribes in a political alliance.

Mesoamerica, encompassing regions of present-day Mexico and Central America, witnessed the rise of renowned civilizations. The Olmec civilization (1200 to 400 BCE) developed a sophisticated society with monumental stone heads and influential cultural practices. The Maya civilization (from approximately 2000 BCE) thrived with advanced writing systems, intricate city-states, and astronomical knowledge. The Aztec Empire (14th to 16th century CE) established a powerful state centered in Tenochtitlan, characterized by complex social hierarchies and remarkable architectural achievements.

South America boasted remarkable civilizations such as the Norte Chico civilization (around 3000 BCE) in present-day Peru, known for its impressive urban planning and monumental architecture. The Inca Empire (13th to 16th century CE) emerged as a dominant force, spanning a vast territory along the Andes Mountains. The Incas developed sophisticated agricultural systems, extensive road networks, and architectural marvels like Machu Picchu.

Polynesia, encompassing numerous islands in the Pacific Ocean, witnessed exploration and settlement by Polynesian peoples. These seafaring communities, including the Maori in New Zealand, Hawaiians, and indigenous peoples of Samoa and Tonga, developed navigational expertise, cultural traditions, and distinctive art forms. Monumental structures like the moai statues on Easter Island stand as testament to their achievements.

Medieval, Renaissance to Modern Era

The Japanese medieval period is often referred to as the "Feudal Era." It began in the 12th century and lasted until the 16th century. During this time, the samurai class rose to prominence, and the country was politically divided into numerous feudal domains. The Kamakura Shogunate (1185-1333) and the subsequent Ashikaga Shogunate (1336-1573) exerted control over Japan, with periods of political instability and internal conflicts. Zen Buddhism gained popularity among the ruling class, influencing art, culture, and philosophy.

While in Taiwan, its medieval history was shaped by various powers seeking control over the island. In the 16th century, European explorers, such as the Portuguese and Spanish, arrived in Taiwan. The island became a crucial trading post and witnessed conflicts between indigenous peoples and European colonizers. In the 17th century, the Dutch East India Company established a colonial presence, followed by the arrival of the Chinese Ming loyalists and eventual Qing Dynasty rule.

North Asia experienced the expansion of the Russian Empire during the medieval period. Russian explorers and traders ventured into Siberia in the 16th century, establishing trade routes and fortifications. The Russian conquest of Siberia continued through the following centuries, leading to the colonization of vast territories and interactions with indigenous Siberian peoples.

The medieval Americas saw the flourishing of powerful civilizations. In Mesoamerica, the Aztec Empire reached its height during the 14th to 16th centuries. The empire's capital, Tenochtitlan, became a magnificent city with grand temples and a sophisticated political system. In the Andean region, the Inca Empire continued to thrive, expanding its territory and constructing impressive architectural marvels, such as the citadel of Machu Picchu.

North America during the medieval era was characterized by the continued presence of diverse Native American cultures. The Mississippian cultures declined, but other indigenous groups, such as the Hopewell and the Ancestral Puebloans, maintained their cultural traditions and built impressive settlements and ceremonial sites. European explorers, including Christopher Columbus, made their way to the Americas, marking the beginning of the European colonization and the subsequent impact on indigenous societies.

Between the 10th and 14th centuries, Polynesian navigators embarked on expansive voyages, settling distant islands across the vast Pacific Ocean. These remarkable journeys, known as the Polynesian Expansion, led to the colonization of Hawaii (around 1000 AD), New Zealand (around 1280 AD), and other remote islands. Polynesian societies thrived, maintaining intricate social structures, linguistic diversity, and artistic traditions.

It was also during this period, several Hurite individuals in New Eden broke their non-interventionist clause and interacted with humans. Many Hurites came to Earth and engaged with East Asians, most notably Chang'E, who met a human named Houyi in China (now part of Amenria) and bestowed upon him the Elixir; and Kaguya, who was sent to Earth as a baby, hidden inside a bamboo. She was found and raised by a human couple in Japan. As she reached adulthood, the Emperor of Japan at that time was captivated by her beauty and made contact with her. The Emperor exchanged letters and insisted on marrying her, while Kaguya refused over fears of the danger a human-Hurite hybrid would pose to the young planet. She stated and announced that she's not from Earth and would soon return to her home planet. However, the Emperor persistently pursued Kaguya, even going as far as chasing her when she was escorted by her biological parents to the Hurite moon station. The early contact between Hurites and humans would later lead to Mugen's transformation.

Modern Era

The modern era in East Asia, encompassing Japan and Taiwan, Far East Russia, the Americas spanning from North to South, and the Polynesian region, marked a transformative period in history characterized by significant developments and key events.

In Japan, the modern era was ushered in by the Meiji Restoration in 1868. This monumental turning point saw the end of the feudal system and the restoration of imperial rule. Japan embarked on a rapid process of modernization and Westernization, adopting new technologies, implementing educational reforms, and introducing constitutional changes. The Meiji era laid the foundation for Japan's emergence as a major global power in the 20th century.

Taiwan's modern era was shaped by colonial influences. In the late 16th century, the island came under the control of the Dutch East India Company. Subsequently, Taiwan became part of the Qing Dynasty's realm in the 17th century and remained under Chinese rule until the 19th century. Following the First Sino-Japanese War in 1895, Taiwan was ceded to Japan and became a Japanese colony until the conclusion of World War II.

North Asia, which includes vast territories such as Siberia, witnessed substantial changes during the modern era. In the 19th century, the Russian Empire expanded its presence in the region, establishing settlements, developing industries, and constructing extensive transportation networks. The completion of the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1916 further facilitated economic growth and strengthened the integration of Far East Russia with the rest of the empire.

The modern era in the Americas was characterized by colonization, independence movements, and the formation of new nations. In North America, the United States achieved independence from Great Britain through the American Revolution in 1776. The 19th century witnessed significant westward expansion, leading to the establishment of new states. In Latin America, various countries, including Mexico, Brazil, and numerous South American nations, fought for and attained independence from colonial powers during the early 19th century.

Polynesia, along with other Pacific regions, encountered European explorers and colonizers during the modern era. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, European powers such as Britain and France exerted colonial control over certain Polynesian islands. The consequences of colonization varied across different Polynesian territories, resulting in diverse experiences of cultural assimilation and the loss of autonomy.

Arrival of Hyperboreans

The Hyperboreans are elves and dwarves who currently reside in North Asia. Originally, they were the inhabitants of Realm 7, but sought refuge on Earth and have lived there permanently ever since. The centuries-long war between the human-elf coalition and the orc empire resulted in the destruction of Realm 7, leading to an unstable state in the universe. Mana bursts and dimensional rifts began appearing frequently across multiple parts of the universe, posing a danger to its inhabitants. Many of the elves, taking advantage of the thin barrier between Realm 7 and Realm 1, sought sanctuary on Earth.

Upon their arrival, the Hyperboreans established a significant civilization near the Arctic Sea, integrating with the Altaic people who had inhabited the region for thousands of years. Over time, the Hyperboreans expanded across various parts of Eurasia, primarily focusing on the northern territories. While many of them assimilated into the Uralic peoples, the core of their culture and governance remained centered in the Hyperborean Federation in North Asia and Alaska.

The Hyperboreans possess the ability to use magic, a technique similar to harnessing Qi. While Qi relies on internal energy derived from elementals, magic taps into external energy sources, such as natural forces, to empower oneself. They have mastered the manipulation of these energies for various purposes in their daily lives.

Independence

The independence of Orientia, a transcontinental and transoceanic country, can be traced back to a significant political conflict that unfolded between Tianshi, the reigning emperor, and Mugen, his trusted aide in the nation of Amenria. The ideological clash between the two individuals, with Tianshi upholding monarchism and Mugen advocating for republican principles, served as the catalyst for a profound transformation in the region.

In the years leading up to the independence movement, Mugen began sowing the seeds of rebellion. It was during the period from 2041 to 2042 that he founded the "Rising Dawn," a faction committed to challenging the prevailing political system within the Pacific states of Amenria. The movement quickly gained traction as Mugen articulated a vision for a more inclusive and democratic society, attracting a diverse range of individuals disillusioned with the existing order.

The rise of the rebellion marked a turning point in the history of Amenria. Mugen's charismatic leadership and unwavering dedication to his cause galvanized support and fostered a sense of hope among the populace. As discontent grew, the calls for change resonated across the nation, igniting a spark of revolution that would ultimately reshape the region's destiny.

The culmination of the rebellion occurred in June 2042 when the rebels launched a daring assault on the capital city. The streets became battlegrounds as Mugen's forces confronted Tianshi's loyalists in a struggle for control and liberation. The conflict escalated, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake, as both sides fought fiercely to assert their vision of the future.

The decisive encounter between Mugen and Tianshi became emblematic of the deep-seated divisions within Amenria. It represented not only a clash of political ideologies but also a clash of personalities and aspirations. The battle showcased the intensity of the struggle and the profound impact it would have on the nation and its people.

However, as the conflict raged on, the devastating toll it exacted on the land and its inhabitants forced both Tianshi and Mugen to confront the dire consequences of their actions. After a month of fierce fighting, a realization dawned upon them: the path to a brighter future necessitated compromise and reconciliation. Acknowledging the futility of the continued conflict, they engaged in negotiations, seeking a resolution that would bring an end to the bloodshed and pave the way for a new era.

In a historic moment of reconciliation, Tianshi and Mugen reached a mutual agreement. This watershed moment gave birth to Orientia, as Mugen's long-held dream of a new nation in the east, liberated from the shackles of the previous regime, became a reality. On July 17, 2042, Orientia officially declared its independence, marking a pivotal moment in the region's history.

The journey towards establishing a stable and prosperous Orientia was fraught with challenges. Rebuilding shattered infrastructure, reconciling disparate factions, and fostering national unity became paramount objectives for the fledgling nation. Yet, despite the trials and tribulations, Orientia demonstrated resilience and a collective determination to chart its own course.

Today, Orientia stands as a testament to the power of ideals and the unwavering spirit of those who strive for change. It spans vast territories across Asia, Oceania, and the Americas, embracing its transcontinental and transoceanic identity. Committed to democratic principles, cultural diversity, and socioeconomic progress, Orientia serves as a beacon of hope and a symbol of unity in an interconnected world.

Politics

Government

The politics of Orientia are characterized by a federal and semi-presidential republic system, where power is divided between the central government and regional entities. Orientia operates under a democratic framework with a robust system of checks and balances.

  • Legislative: The bicameral Federal Congress, made up of the 300-member Representatives and the 100-member Senators, adopts federal law, declares war, approves treaties, has the power of the purse and the power of impeachment of the president.
  • Executive: The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, can veto legislation before it is enacted, and appoints the Oriental Government (Cabinet) and other officials to administer and enforce federal laws and policies.
  • Judiciary: The Constitutional Court, Supreme Court and lower federal courts, are appointed by the Federal Senate on the recommendation of the President to interpret and repeal laws deemed unconstitutional.

The president is elected by popular vote for a six-year term (eligible for a second term, but not for a third consecutive term). The government branch consists of the prime minister and his/her ministers. All are appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Prime Minister (the Prime Minister's appointments require parliamentary approval).

Administrative divisions

According to the constitution, the Union is comprised of 48 federal subjects. The federal subjects have equal representation—two delegates each—in the Senate, the upper house of the Federal Congress.

  • States

This is the highest type of federal subject, with a governor and locally elected legislature. There are 13 (thirteen) states, Sakha, Chūō, Filipina, Mwonor, Hawaii, Mātāmua, Australia, Alasqaa, Amiskwaciy, Dinetah, Mexico, and Tawantinsuyu . States are further divided into provinces/prefectures and cities, which are in turn subdivided into districts;

  • Provinces

Provinces are the second-highest federal subject. It is an administrative or political subdivision of a state that consists of a geographic region with specific boundaries and usually some level of governmental authority. Along with the common provinces, there are four types of special administrative divisions with equal status: special city, metropolitan city, and special self-governing city.

  • Districts

Districts are a widely used unit of local government that is subordinate to a province.
