Pre-History

Archaeological evidence suggests that the first hominids inhabited Qília between 250,000 and 2.24 million years ago. A cave in Zhoukoudian (near present-day Nanlaohu) contained fossils dated between 300,000 and 780,000 BC. The fossils in the cave are from Man of Nanlaohu, an example of Homo erectus who manipulated fire. There are also remains of Homo sapiens dating from 18 to 11,000 BC found at the Nanlaohu Man site. And the Huangshang Cave, close to the Yùshan, where they found remains of Homo Sapiens dating from 16,000 to 10,000 BC.

After the Zhouyin capital was sacked by the Shang and Bangfao , the Zhouyin moved the capital to the south-west, from the now desolate Zonghua in Xantou, near modern Ti'an, to Chengsui in the Tao River Valley. The Zhouyin royalty were then closer to their main supporters, particularly Jian and Feng; the Zhouyin royal family had much weaker authority and depended on the lords of these vassal states for protection, especially during their flight to the western capital. In Damen, Prince Yijiu was crowned by his supporters as King Ping. However, with the Zhouyin domain greatly reduced to Damen, Chengsui and the surrounding areas, the court could no longer support the six army groups it had in the past; the Zhouyin kings had to request help from powerful vassal states for protection against attacks and to resolve internal power struggles. The Zhouyin court would never regain its original authority; instead, it was relegated to being just a figurehead of the regional states and ritual leader of the Jin clan's ancestral temple. Although the king held the Mandate of Heaven, the title had little real power.

With the decline of Zhouyin's power, the Yangtze River drainage basin was divided into hundreds of small autonomous states, most of them consisting of a single city, although a handful of states with multiple cities, especially those on the periphery, had the power and opportunity to expand outwards.A total of 148 states are mentioned in the chronicles of this period,128 of which were absorbed by the four largest states by the end of the period.

Shortly after the royal court moved to Chengsui, a hierarchical alliance system emerged where the Zhouyin king would give the title of hegemony (霸) to the leader of the state with the most powerful armed forces; the hegemony was obliged to protect both the weaker Zhouyin states and the Zhouyin royalty from invading non-Zhouyin peoples: the Northern Feng, the Southern Taidan, the Western Yin and the Western Fang. This political structure maintained the fēngjiàn power structure, although interstate and intrastate conflicts often led to a decline in respect for clan customs, respect for the Ji family and solidarity with other Zhouyin peoples. collective defence of Zhouyin territory against the "barbarians".

Over the next two centuries, the four most powerful states - Sh'in, Jiao , Qilia and Chun - fought for power. These city-states often used the pretext of aid and protection to intervene and gain suzerainty over the smaller states. During this rapid expansion, interstate relations alternated between low-level wars and complex diplomacy.

Warring States Period (481-230 BC)

The Warring States Period (481-230 BC) takes its name from a historical work compiled in the 1st century BC, the Zhan (Strategies of the Warring States), a collection of texts dating back to the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. It was a rich time for the philosophical thought and Qílian science, marked by political decadence, the end of the Zhouyin's capacity for arbitration and sovereignty over internal problems and the beginning of confrontations.

Military treatises by generals of the period, some of which have been partially found, demonstrate a rapid evolution in the way war was carried out. The era had great Qilian military strategists, such as Sun Tzu and Sun Pin. These general celebrities dared to establish increasingly refined tactics. The stories bring to the world a unique atmosphere, which involves China in one of the most unique periods in History. A turbulent and dark phase, resulting from continuous confrontations, alliances that could be easily corrupted, betrayals, surprise attacks and merciless murders. These were the ingredients of a rapidly evolving political framework, which led to the strengthening of the State of Qin, benefiting from its strategic strategic position, west of the Yangtze River, and protected by solid natural defenses.

During this period, there were seven fighting kingdoms: Sh'in, Qi, Zhouyin, Hang, Wai, Chun and Yang.

The Sh'in Dinasty ended up conquering everyone at the end of the period, leaving Qília unified under the same government and the same system of writing and weights and measures.

The establishment of the Sh'in Dynasty and the Fall

---

The Sh'in Dynasty was founded by Qin Shihuang, who unified the warring states of Qília in 230 BC. Under his rule, Qilia experienced a period of great change and progress. Qin Shihuang began with the construction of the Great Wall of Qília, standardized weights and measures, and created a centralized government system.

However, Qin Shihuang's rule was also characterized by brutality and oppression. He suppressed freedom of expression and sentenced many dissidents to death. His death in 221 BC triggered a series of revolts that led to the end of the Sh'in dynasty in 212 BC.

The Sh'in Dynasty was a time of great change in Qilia, but it was also a period of great instability and violence.

After the death of Qin Shihuang, the Qilian people would begin a great revolt that was carried out by the Warlord Shi-Fenghuang Yùshang, who would emerge in the eastern part of the Sh'in Dynasty, and that region, possessing abundant resources.

Yùshang Dynasty (221BC-1271AD)

---

The Qílian nation rose from the ashes, and the Qilians began with the revolt in 221 BC, which conquered the newly formed Sh'an Dynasty, and in 211 BC conquering the capitals of Sh'an (Huanglan) and the capital of the Sh'in Dynasty (Baofen), ending the history of the Sh'in and Sh'an Dynasty.

After the creation of Qília, Shi-Feng Yùshang adopted laws that definitively stabilized the country, establishing Religious Freedom throughout the nation, in addition to adopting Confucian philosophies, .‎

Middle Era (482-535)

---

Kongquen Wars (503-535)

---

In the 6th century, the Emperor of Qilia ceded a territorial portion in the southwest of Qilia to the Shen family to strengthen ties of friendship with Lord Shenyang. This concession marked the beginning of the Shen family's political and economic influence in the region. In 482, the State of Kongquen was established, with Haigang as the capital, and Lord Shen was born that same year.

In the early 500s, following the assassination of his parents, Lord Shen took control of Haigang and implemented military and administrative reforms that culminated in the formation of the Shen Mandate. He mobilized a formidable army and began brutal and effective expansionist campaigns, driven by a prophecy and the need to eliminate potential threats.

During the Quandao Campaign (503-505), Lord Shen launched an offensive against Quandao, resulting in the annihilation of a large part of the local population and using tactics of terror to consolidate his rule.

Three decades later, the renowned Kung Fu practitioner, Ping Xiao Po, known as the Dragon Warrior, arrived in Haigang. Wearing black and white armor, Po was connected to an ancient prophecy that predicted Shen's downfall by a warrior with those colors. Accompanied by five Kung Fu masters, Po drew Shen's attention, who ordered his capture.

After a series of confrontations in the streets of Haigang, Po and his allies directly confronted Shen on his anchored ship. During the final confrontation, the inadvertent firing of Shen's dragon-shaped cannon caused critical damage to the ship and resulted in Shen's death.

The fall of the Shen Mandate marked the end of a turbulent chapter in Qilia's history and the restoration of imperial control. The region prospered once again under the direct administration of the Emperor, and Shen's legacy of terror was suppressed in historical records. However, the legends about Shen and the Dragon Warrior continued to be passed down from generation to generation as a lesson about tyranny and justice.

Great Dragons | "Age of the Great Rebellions" (1798-1830)^WIP

The Dragon Banners Rebellions (1798)

---

In 1798, a series of significant rebellions erupted in the Shola-controlled Qilian capitals of Haigang, Yùshan, Beigou, and other major cities. These uprisings were fueled by the Qilians’ desire for greater autonomy and control over their international trade and affairs, which had been heavily influenced by the Shola Empire. The Qilians asserted that official independence was declared with the start of these rebellions, marking the re-emergence of Qília.

The rebellions grew rapidly, forming large masses of Qilian insurgents commonly known as "The Golden Banners." This moniker derived from the various yellow, red, and gold banners carried by the rebels. While the gold banner is now prominently featured on the Qilian flag, it does not hold a direct symbolic connection to independence.

United by their shared history and a desire for freedom, the ancient people of Qilia rose up against Shola rule. After years of struggle, the Shola Empire was forced to officially recognize Qília's independence on March 13, 1830.

The country faced a period of instability following the departure of the Shola Empire. To address this, Xian Yù, a direct descendant of the Yùshang rulers, became Emperor of Qilian, ruling jointly with his wife, Meiling Beizhi. They sought to restore the Qilian tradition of gynoandrocratic governance while also fostering better relations with the population. To this end, they reopened the Parliament, establishing a Constitutional Parliamentary Monarchy that continues to govern Qilia today.

Huàtao Rebellion or The Golden Dragons Rebellion (1868-1876)

Following its re-emergence as an independent nation in 1830, Qilia embarked on a new chapter in its history. The Empire's first emperor after independence was Xian Yù, a direct descendant of the last Yùshang Dynasty ruler. Xian Yù reigned from 1830 to 1854, passing the throne to his wife, Meiling Beizh, who ruled until 1858. Their eldest son, Jian Yùling, succeeded them.

Jian Yùling, the first Pontifical Emperor of Qilia, focused on urban development during his eighteen-year reign. Cities like Beigou, Nangang, Haigang, and Goatanggou flourished under his economic policies, contributing significantly to Qilia's prosperity. However, his reforms also led to a more centralized and absolute monarchy, as he sought to consolidate power.

Despite his economic achievements, Jian Yùling's actions alienated the population. In 1866, he imposed a religious ban, suppressing nearly all faiths except for the Pontifical religion. This religious persecution, which targeted traditional religions like Confucianism, Taoism, and Bagavati as well as Shinkyo, sparked widespread discontent.

On April 16, 1868, the Huàtao Rebellion erupted in rural areas and major cities. Emperor Jian Yùling, determined to protect his rule, mobilized the army to suppress the rebellion. However, some military leaders, like Han Wugong, sympathized with the rebels due to their own religious beliefs. Han Wugong joined the Golden Dragons, a rebel faction, and played a pivotal role in their success. He led several ambushes, acquired additional weapons, and engaged the Yùling Imperial army, which gradually suffered defeats and defections.

On March 13, 1876, the mass rebellions forced Jian Yùling to abdicate the throne. This day was celebrated as a victory by the Qilian people, who commemorated it as the "Day of the Golden Dragons." The subsequent governments continued to honor this day with traditional festivals featuring gold and red, the colors of Qilia.

Qília in Great War

---

During the early stages of the Great War, Qilia maintained a stance of neutrality. However, as the Singhapala Bisaya Republic (SBR) began to fall under the influence of Hansa, concerns arose within the Qilian court regarding the potential for Hansa's influence to extend to Qilia. In response to these apprehensions, on 29 May 1924, Qilia formally reached out to Tayichi, seeking to join the Borealian United Front.
