Yinguo (銀国), officially the Empire of Yinguo (大銀帝國, Daiyin Diguo), also known as the Great Yin (大銀, Daiyin), is a unitary constitutional bureaucratic heavenly monarchy in Tarsis. It borders Zhenia to its north, and it faces the Eastern Sea to the East and the Southern Sea to the southwest.
The territory of Yinguo has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with one of the world's first civilization emerging in the mainland. The Liang Dynasty was the first to leave extensive historic records behind, but it was the Zhen dynasty which united the entire region, led by Emperor Taejo. The Zhen dynasty combined the cultures of the Danguk Peninsula and the mainland and it created the concept of the Mandate of Heaven which would turn the history of the mainland into a cycle of dynasties and civil wars. Surviving the Hundred States Era, the Jin Dynasty reunited the mainland before eventually falling again, but the Zhu Dynasty eventually prevailed, starting the era of the Two Dynasties, a period of rivalry between the mainland and the Danguk Peninsula that continued when the Greater Wu replaced the Zhu, even if the Shindan Dynasty was turned into a tributary. Military defeats weakened the Wu, and rendered it vulnerable to the Shindan aggression during the Great Tragedy. The Shindan created the new nation of Zhenia by conquering most of the mainland, and the origins of the Yinguo lie here. Remains of the Wu gathered in the south, and proclaimed that the Wu lost the Mandate of Heaven while the Shindan were unworthy of it - declaring the establishment of the Great Yin. The Yin soon gained the loyalty of many of the Wei people against the Dan dominance of Zhenia, and managed to save the existence of the new state through a series of close victories in the First Yin-Zhenian War.
The Yin reorganized and reformed the nation through the doctrine of the Mandate of Heaven and People, justifying their continued rule through constitutional approval as much as divine providence, modernizing the state and entering into a fiece rivalry with the expansionist Greater Eastern Union that had arisen in the place of the fallen monarchy in Zhenia. Yinguo managed to successfully resist a Zhenian invasion in the First Great War, but the frontlines collapsed in the Second Great War, but the nation once again managed to persevere during the Four Years of Resistance, stopping the Zhenian forces from completely conquering its territory, and pushing them back at the end of the conflict, earning a series of stunning victories but falling short of liberating the mainland as it had envisioned. The treaties at the end of the Great Wars confirmed some territorial gains but disappointed the nation, and the failure of its plans of liberation led to a new relationship with Zhenia, hostile and yet collaborative. Further reforms and democratization after the war were focused on maintaining a Zhenian-Yin parity, and Yinguo has been ever since focused on keeping the status quo.
Today, Yinguo stands as a constitutional monarchy with a very well developed administration and bureaucracy that is somewhat anachronistic in nature - well known for its ceremonialism and traditions and for its efficence despite the apparent cumbersomeness. Yinguonese constitutionalism greatly differs from the Auroran thought by placing a strong emphasis on a balance between the Emperor and the Constitution, and its government is built on this equilibrium, combining imperial power and the voice of the people in the government, through the Grand Secretariates and the Ministries, and in the Imperial Court, through the appointed Inner Court and the elected Outer Court. Yinguo has been consistently known for its political stability, despite increasingly strong calls for further reform.
Yinguo is developed nation with a fast growing economy, and it rivals many of its neighbors in important economical fields, even if it is also noted as an important center of culture of art. The nation prides itself on its rich traditions, and although it maintains a certain wariness in regards to foreigners, it has become an important touristic destination.
Yinguo is a member of the World Concordat, the Tarsian Sphere, the Tarsian Economic Cooperation Association, the South Tarsian Association for Regional Cooperation and various other entities, and it is videly considered to be a nation of diplomacy, with an approach focused on soft-power and cooperation.
Nomenclature
The official name of the country is the Empire of Yinguo (大銀帝國, Daiyin Diguo), and it is presently used in all official situations by the government and the Imperial Court. The dynastic name of the Great Yin (大銀, Daiyin) has increasingly fallen out of use - being removed from official state documents and even the constitution, but it is still used in some ceremonies in the Imperial Court, and it maintains a certain degree of usage among Yinguo's neighbors, leading to the country being sometimes referred to as the Yin Dynasty. The usage of the shortform of "Yinguo" is considered acceptable by the Imperial Government, but diplomatically Yinguo always strives to impose the usage of its full name. Unofficial names like the Yinguonese Empire are sometimes used abroad, by are frowned upon by Yinguo itself.
The country is also symbolically known as the "Land of the Silver Lotus", or the "Lotus Throne".
Etymology
The exact origin of the name of Yinguo (銀国) is disputed, with some historians claiming that the name was used for the region the nation is currently in before the fall of the Great Wu, while others simply claim that the name was adopted by the Yin Dynasty after it claimed the Mandate of Heaven. Regardless, it is generally assumed that the name can be translated as "the Nation of Silver", and the name might either originate from the prosperous silver mines of the region, according to the supporters of the first theory, or was adopted by the Yin Dynasty in relation to its meaning and symbolism in the zodiacal system.
