Weishun people are the ethnic group native to north east Michu. They are officially recognised as the rulers of the Great Zhi Empire, and are subject to a vast array of restrictions and privileges, setting them apart from the common people of Michu. They are the predominant group in six provinces of Michu, five of which were traditionally segregated from the rest of Michu, the exception being Shaotai, which contains the Imperial capital of Zhijing. Weishun communities can also be found in several autonomous counties throughout Michu, placed in strategic territories.
Name The modern name for the ethnicity comes from a poem written during the Juwarin period, which says that all people are subject to the Weishun (Mighty ones worthy of rule). During the height of Weishun rule, it was required that non Weishun refer to them as 'Bazhu people', as a sign of submission. This title is used in modern Michu as either a slur, slang, or an honourific, depending on the context.
