Emperor Seongjo of Zhenia (Classic Zhenian: 陳 聖祖, Modern Zhenian: 대동진제국 성조황제), formerly Emperor Seongjo of Shindan, personal name Li Zichuan (Classic Zhenian: 李自淸, Modern Zhenian: 이자청), was the founder and emperor of the Empire of Zhenia, as well as the last emperor of Shindan, reigning from 1844 to his death in 1905. His rule saw the unification of Zhenia through the Zhenian Civil War, as well as the rapid transformation of Shindan from a feudal hermit state to an industrialized power, as well as the transformation of Zhenia from a decentralized state into an industrialized world power.
