The Federation of Nuwea(High nuwean:要點華帝國聯邦 Imperial standard transcription:Yàodiǎnhuá dìguó liánbāng)colloquially known as Nuwea (High nuwean:要點國) is a country located in south, southeast and eastern Agleia. The nation is split into 3 major regions by the Lan-Ding-Mountains, leading to large ecologic and climatic diversity in Nuwea. Administratively its divided into 6 constituent kingdoms, 3 special provinces, 36 provinces and 5 imperial cities.Zhongjing is both the capital and the largest city of Nuwea and the seat of the imperial clan and their court, the civillian government of the federation. Nuweas total population is approximately 840 million which makes it the X most populous country in the world. Modern Nuwea was formed after re-uniting the nation following a 44 year period of disunity that resulted from the collapse of the Cui -dynasty. It managed the
Nuwea draws its lineage from the ancient Kingdom of Jin which was located in the coastal basin of modern day Lübin-province, it was generally considered to be mythical but recent archeological discoveries have brought evidence to light that suggests the opposite. The first polity to develop a structure like the one of later dynasties was the Xi-dynasty which was founded around 1800 BCE.

Etymology

The word "Nuwea" derives from the Nuo-dynasty which was the first one to openly engage in diplomacy and commerce with marisian powers. The official Name of the modern state is the "Imperial Federation of Nuwea" (High nuwean: 要點華帝國聯邦 Imperial standard transcription: Yàodiǎnhuá dìguó liánbāng) and just "Nuwea" or Yàodiǎnguó (要點國) in its short form. Yàodiǎnguó consists of Yàodiǎn (essential) and guó (state). The term is in use to describe the concept of a nuwean nation since the late Jiang-dynasty.

History

The first state in the territory of modern Nuwea, the Jin formed along the estuary of the Dalü river in modern day Lübin-province.

Warring states period

Industrialisation brought many problems to the Cui-empire, especially that of some local governours using the massive increase in taxation that developed as a product of the increase in production capacity. Especially in the coastal regions some viceroys even began to independently build up armies and naval forces. The central government was largely unable to intervene as it was both in the full rights of viceroys and governours to build up local security forces and as they were paid in a certain percentage of the total tax revenue instead of a fixed amount. But finally in 1878, after the Viceroy of Shuizhou Hu Xiang was arrested and discharged after attempting to independently sign a trade agreement with XXXX the government began cracking down on all "factionalist and seperatist" activities by governours, viceroys and military leaders. A great reform plan was announced which intailed the following points:

  1. Creation of a council of governours in which all governours and viceroys would be represented
  2. A general tax reform which would limit the power of governours in regards to taxation.
  3. Creation of the National infrastructure and railway agency whose approval would be needed for the construction of any major infrastructure project like a railway or harbour. It was also to asess all currently existing infrastructure and recommend improvements.
  4. Restrcition of the local security forces to a maximum of 15.000 men.

While some governours welcomed the new policy most saw it as unlawful restriction on their rights by a increasingly desperate central government. As emperor Cheng Gaozhong of Cui died in 1881 and was succeeded by his son Zhongshan some of the anti-reform governours became hopeful that they could influence the rather young new emperor to roll back some of his fathers reforms and allow for more autonomy in the provinces again. During the early reign of Zhongshan several factions of high ranking government officials emerged that attempted to sway imperial favour in their direction. Most prominet among them

Nuwea is parliamentary monarchy operating under a semi-democratic system. It is a centralised,federal state in which the head of all branches of government is the monarch. The legislative is made up of the elected Imperial Yihui, the appointed Council of advisors, the Conference of rulers, which is made up of the heads of certain subdivisions, and the imperial government embodied in the figure of the monarch. The Yihui and council of advisors are responsible for the main business of the national government with a majority in both houses being necessary for any law to be passed, although the imperial government, either in the form of the responsible department or the monarch themself need to approve any law for it to take affect. The operations, principles and duties of all 3 houses of parliament are codified in the 1964 constitution.

Since 1997 the duties of monarch and head of state are being performed by empress Hu Jinfei of Wei.

The imperial government is made up of the 14 imperial departments and 3 grand-secretariats as well as the monarch.

Imperal cities

Imperial cities (High nuwean: are cities that hold the same administrative status as a province while only being one city. Usually the reason why a city is granted this special status is a certain population size but it can also be political or economic importance, examples for those cities would be Zhongjin which is directly governed by the Imperial court and Choqi which serves as the nations largest harbour and therefore was granted special economic and political priviledges.
