History

Prehistoric Yanbad

Historians and scholars refer to Prehistoric Yanbad as the era of The Five Sovereigns and Ten Emperors. Much isn’t known of this time period since there is a lack of primary sources written during the time period. Scholars throughout the subsequent dynasties had written about this time period and referenced them in their own documents. As a result all of the written accounts related to this era are questionable at best. Most of the knowledge from this time period was discovered via archaeological digs and studies of material culture. The leading consensus is that Prehistoric Yanbadis buried their dead with supplies for the afterlife. Items such as food, weapons, clothing, and pottery have been discovered in many ancient tombs.

Background on Different Dynastic Eras

One might assume that throughout the Imperial Era the various dynasties all rose and fell through violent means. While there are instances of a dynasty violently overthrowing another there are also examples of dynasties taking control through more peaceful means such as one family dying out.

Yan Yanbad

The Yan Dynasty ruled over modern day eastern Yanbad from 230 BCE to 200 BCE. It was the first dynasty of Imperial Yanbad and the first to unify the eastern heartland of Modern Yanbad. The founder of the dynasty Yan Bao unified the empire in 230 BCE and ruled it until his death in 222 BCE. Yan Guang (230 BCE - 209 BCE) ruled over the empire and finished his father's work of building the capital of Ziyang and the palace of Hengdai. The last Yan Emperor, Yan Ang (209 BCE - 200 BCE) died without an heir which caused the throne to pass to the Tay family which were related to the Yan through marriage. Historians believe that the region came to be known as "Yanbad" due to a translation mistake of the first dynasty's name.

Communist Party of Yanbad's Politburo Standing Committee

The Politburo Standing Committee serves as a cabinet for the Prime Minister. Members are appointed by the Prime Minister and symbolically voted in by the National People's Congress. The practice of the Politburo serving as advisers to the Prime Minister dates back to the early days of the Communist Revolution and numerous foreign threats the Communist Party faced in its early days. As a result of the dire situation and the need to make fast appointments, the National People's Congress traditionally acquiesces to these appointments. The following lists the Committees in order of their creation: Committee of the People's Defense, Committee of the People's Agriculture, Committee of the People's Treasury, Committee of the People's State , Committee of the People's Justice , Committee of People's Commerce, Committee of the People's Labor , Committee of the People's Health , Committee of the People's Housing , Committee of the People's Transportation ,Committee of the People's Energy , Committee of the People's Education , Committee of the People's Veterans.
