The Great Covenant (大盟, Dàméng) was a Supranational political and Economic union located primarily within modern Shang Fa, or northern Huran. Established in the aftermath of the Tan Civil War, it was composed of Anchu, the Kingdom of Bian, Khitay, the Republic of Lu, the Principean League, Tabgachia, and the Tan Dynasty. Each union member was still recognized as a sovereign and independent country internationally, but who agreed to form a joint diplomatic front in Surucia. The Principean League notably had a special status as part of Blayk colonial empire.

Kingdom of Bian
The Kingdom of Bian was founded by the Huranian officer Dujue, Viceroy of Bian before the Civil War and leader of the uprising against the Tan Dynasty. While he was still alive, Dujue remained the real hegemon of the Grand Covenant. Afterward, the position of Bian within the alliance would continue to diminish with each passing generation of ruler.
while the Later Tan fell into the hands of private companies, local councils, and trade associations, Bian retained the magistrate-based social structure traditional of Neidi but with a twist: it's the military magistrature that took proeminence over its civilian counterpart. Military Commanderies and Prefectures replaced Mandarins, 10 years of military service was demanded of anyone who wished to make a political career, and the state was “rationalized” with the explicit purpose of making the military more efficient to the point that Bian was characterized by observers as an “Army with a state” (軍有國家, jūn yǒu guójiā, L’armée à l’état-nation). Bian would dominate the early decades of the Grand Covenant. But as the Principean League took over as the proeminent faction within the Covenant, Bian was left with a dual Hua elite: a military-political elite who was trained, formed, and served in a Principean-dominated military and a financiary-economic elite who was dominated by pro-Covenant actors and foreign institutions. Civil strife would sign the end of the Kingdom of Bian as a major player and the "Bian Question" was one of the factor which led to the Social War.
