The Noble Empire of Gua (Guavai: 吳御帝國; tudtsa: guåah nguuTikot, pronounced [gwɑː˩˧ ŋuː˥˧tiː˥kɔʔ˥]), commonly referred to as Guakok (吳國, guåahkot) and rarely as Wuguo is a country in East Serica which borders Huajiang to the northeast. It covers an area of approximately 557,363 square kilometres (215,199.06 sq mi)[3], incorporating most of the former Kingdom of Gua from which the ruling dynasty takes its name, and has a population of about 63,539,381, which is primarily composed of Qi people along with a number of minority groups.[1] Although de jure a democratic constitutional monarchy[5], in practice political power is overwhelmingly concentrated in the Emperor and House of Lords, which consists entirely of nobility.
Qi people have inhabited parts of Guakok since prehistoric times, having moved into the region which would become the Kingdom of Gua before written records begin.[6] However, initial settlement of the area was sparse, with mass movement of the Qi south into areas mainly inhabited by Dai peoples occurring from the late first millennium BCE. Settlers quickly reached the coast of the Sea but did not penetrate westwards until the Guanghua Era (212-246 CE) when the Guanghua Emperor launched a campaign to conquer the Xiyi people, a probably Dai people or alliance of peoples inhabiting the western inlands of the modern country.[7] The Kingdom of Gua was eventually established in the area, which became a powerful state within the greater Qi territories, vassalising neighbouring kingdoms to the west to better defend against the rival Qi states to the north.[8]
Modern Gua society is heavily stratified and bound by ancient traditions. The government has long advocated traditional Qi culture, and later specifically Gua culture, though in recent times has been accepting of foreign cultural traditions "as a means to foster the growth and spread of national ideology and practice".[9]
