Write a intresting, plausible, historically accurate realistic, year by year, timeline for an alternate history scenario for an fanfic of the Code Geass anime, manga, video game, light novel, visual novel and radio drama series with no references to the real world, OTL, or even to the fact that this is an alternate history scenario at all in which  the post-618, pre-907, Mongolian and Manchurian dominated Mongol-Manchurian Imperial House of Li-ruled absolute imperial dynastic monarchy/Sinicized Islamic sultante/Turko-Mongol Khanate of the Great Tang Empire/"Tang dynasty" ruling [the Great Tang Empire] over [the Great Tang Empire's territories] Han China from [the Great Tang Empire's stronghold] East Turkestan and the Hui-dominated Central China, [the Great Tang Empire in this alternate history scenario] escapes from the China region after its [the Great Tang Empire's] collapse, or more specifically the government of the Great Tang Empire is forcefully brought out of China by Han Chinese loyalists and supporters along with the Great Tang Empire's imperial family [the Imperial House of Li] with loyal elements of the Great Tang Empire's combined ground combat force and naval warfare force, the Great Tang Army, to the distant land of the supposedly Shinto pantheon descended, Japanese Imperial House of Great Yamato/Minamoto dynasty-ruled absolute imperial dynastic parliamentary royal monarchy of Yamato ruling [Yamato] over [the territories Yamato ruled over] the Nihon Hondo [the Japanese Home Islands |Nihon Hondo|] and Reantion [Korea |Reantion|], [the Great Tang Empire's government and |the Great Tang Empire's| imperial family |the Imperial House of Li| being brought to Yamato by Han Chinese loyalists and loyal elements of the Great Tang Army] subsequently conquering it [Yamato] and [the Tang exiles after |the Tang exiles| conquering Yamato] declaring a government in exile [of the Great Tang Empire] and [the Tang exiles after |the Tang exiles| conquering Yamato and establishing a Tang government in exile] utilize advanced technologies from Persia, Manchuria and Han China along with those brought over from the post-330 AD, pre-1453 Roman rump state of the absolute imperial dynastic royal monarchy of the Eastern Roman Empire/"Byzantine Empire" ruling [the Byzantine Empire] over Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, the Balkans and the Caucuses in order to fund a primitive minature industrial revolution in their [the Tang exile's] new stronghold [Tang-conquered Yamato] while [the Tang exiles] also [the Tang exiles] trying to [what the Tang exiles try to do] spread Sunni Islam and Manchurian, Mongolian and Hui and Han Chinese culture among their [the Tang exiles'] subjects [the native ethnic Japanese people of the Japanese Home Islands and the native ethnic Koreans of the Korean peninsula along with the Japanese in Korea] which is somewhat successful. 

The Tang exiles also discover the the superconductive, extremely unstable and extremely explosive, radioactive, supermineral of Sakuradite [Code Geass franchise] among Yamato's geographical resources, [the Tang exiles] using it [the Sakuradite] to boost their [the Tang exile's] industrial, economic and military strength. 

Due to the rightful Chinese imperial government [the Great Tang Empire] being in exile [the Great Tang Empire] in Yamato, the Great Tang Empire's successor state of the pre-923 AD,  post-937 successor state of the Later Tang ruling [the Later Tang] over much of Northern Han China is [the Later Tang in this scenario] simply an extension of the Tang government in exile in Yamato with ethnic Japanese and Korean soldiers from the conquered Yamato and Han Chinese, Hui, Mongolian and Manchurian soldiers of the Great Tang Army serving together against the Later Tang and the Great Tang Empire's enemies and the Great Tang Army utilizing Japanese and Korean war strategies against the warlords fighting in the China region. 

In defiance of the establishment of the post-960, pre-1279 Imperial House of Zhao-ruled Great Song State/Empire of the Great Song/Great Song/"Song dynasty" ruling [the Great Song State] over Han China, the Great Tang Empire in exile in Yamato decides to break off all ties with its [the Great Tang Empire's] home state [the China region] and [the Great Tang Empire in exile in Yamato] declares itself [the Great Tang Empire in exile in Yamato] a separate state from the various dynasties ruling over the China region from Mongolia and Manchuria in its [the China region's] three thousand year history, [the Great Tang Empire in exile in Yamato] declaring itself [the Great Tang Empire in exile in Yamato] to [the Great Tang Empire in exile in Yamato] have the eternal mandate of heaven combined with the ruling members of the Imperial House of Li's status as both Emperors of the Great Tang State and Sultans and Caliphs of the Great Tang Empire as a Sunni Islamic Sultanate [Great Tang Empire] under Sharia Law by divine right and birthright. 

Thus the evolution of Yamato into the modern nation-state known today as Nihon/Nippon [Land of the Rising Sun |Nihon/Nippon|] still continues like in OTL, albiet for a different reason.

The ruling members of the Imperial House of Li and the Imperial House of Great Yamato become intertwined by concubinage, multiple marriages and adoptions to the point where the two houses become one, with similar events happening between the Tang exile nobility, aristocracy and royalty and the native Japanese and Korean nobility, aristocracy and nobility. 

The Tang exile nobility, aristocracy and royalty still speak, write and think in Mongolian, Manchu, Traditional Chinese, Persian and Turkish, believing these languages [Mongolian, Manchu, Traditional Chinese, Persian and Turkish] to be the civilized tongues [Mongolian, Manchu, Traditional Chinese, Persian and Turkish] of North Asia and Eurasia and viewing the Yue [Cantonese |Yue|] language spoken by Guangdong and Guangxi's native Cantonese people to be a barbarian tongue [Yue], and [Tang exile nobility, aristocracy and royalty] promote the spread of these languages, especially Traditional Chinese, Mongolian and Manchu, among the people of Yamato, even though most of the ethnically Japanese and Korean native people of Yamato continue speaking and writing in Japanese and Korean

The development of modern Japanese and Korean is heavily affected by these efforts by the Tang exile nobility, aristocracy and royalty however

Japan's indigenous state religion, Shinto, becomes heavily influenced by the version of Sunni Islam practiced in the Tang Empire along with Han Chinese Daoist customs and Manchurian and Mongolian Shamanism.

The development of Japanese Buddhism is also affected by the assimilation of the Tang exiles into Yamato as well. 

The Great Tang Empire's military flag, the San Chen, a red banner [the San Chen] with a large blue circle representing the Sun with [what the Blue Circle has] black rays in its [the San Chen's] center, with a smaller yellow circle representing the moon in the extreme left [of the black-rayed blue sun in the San Chen's center] is [the San Chen] combined with Yamato's and later Japan's shared naval jack and war banner of the Kyokujitsu-ki [Rising Sun Flag |Kyokujitsu-ki|] a white banner [the Kyokujitsu-ki] with [what the Kyokujitsu-ki has] a red disc representing the sun  in its [the Kyokujitsu-ki's] center and sixteen red rays emanating from the disc [in the Kyokujitsu-ki's center], to form a new flag with the San Chen's black rayed sun with a yellow moon in the center of the Kyokujitsu-ki, although the yellow moon has [the yellow moon]  [the yellow moon] the Imperial House of Great Yamato's/Minamoto dynasty's personal yellow chrysanthemum mom [Japanese emblems used to decorate and identify an individual, a family, or (more recently) an institution, municipality or business entity within Japan] in the center, with the yellow moon being darker to make the contrast between it and the  chrysanthemum mom. 

 The Great Tang Empire's unofficial naval jack, the Rì Qí [Sun Flag |Rì Qí|], a orange banner [the Rì Qí] with a red dot representing the Sun in the middle [of the Rì Qí], [the Rì Qí ]is [the Rì Qí] combined [the Rì Qí] with Yamato's and later Japan's civil banner, the Hinomaru [Ball of Sun |Hinomaru|], a white banner [the Hinomaru] with a red dot [representing the Sun] in the middle [of the Hinomaru] to form a new flag in the form of a orange banner with a white dot in the center [of the new flag] and a smaller red dot [in the center of the white dot]. 

This version of Japan formed by the the Great Tang Empire in exile in Yamato breaking away from the China region eventually becomes seen as a separate state from China by the people of Asia and Eurasia, although it still tries to keep the Silk Road open and dominate Asian trade.

The bakufu [tent government |bakufu|], [the bakufu] popularly [the bakufu] known as [the bakufu's more popular name] the shogunate, [the bakufu] a  system of government in Japan  dominated [the bakufu] by a feudal military dictatorship  exercised in the name of a  sei-i taishōgun ["Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force Against the Barbarians" |sei-i taishōgun|, the military rulers of Japan during most of the period spanning from 1185 to 1868 who |the sei-i taishōgun| carried out |the sei-i taishōgun| the actual duties of administration in Japan during that time period who |the sei-i taishōgun| also |the sei-i taishōgun| enjoyed civil, military, diplomatic and judicial authority within Japan], [the sei-i taishōgun] more popularly known as [the sei-i taishōgun's more famous name] a shogun  or by the shogun himself, with the hierarchy that held the bakufu together being  [the hierarchy holding the bakufu] reinforced by close ties of loyalty between  the powerful Japanese magnates, and feudal lords who, from the 10th century to the early Meiji period in the middle 19th century ruled most of Japan from their vast, hereditary land holdings despite being subordinate to the shogun and nominally to the emperor, whom the buke/samurai served as well-paid retainers, the daimyō [large private land |daimyō], the collection of various powers that supported the shogunates and the hereditary military nobility and officer caste of medieval and early-modern Japan from the late 12th century until their abolition in the late 1870s with high prestige and special privileges, the buke [military families |buke|], [the buke] better known [the buke] outside of Japan and East Asia as [the buke's other, more famous name] the samurai, and their subordinates is [the bakufu] still [the bakufu] established in 1192 in Japan however but the position of sei-i taishōgun is [the position of sei-i taishōgun in this timeline] combined with the position of Caliph inherited from the reigning members of the Imperial House of Li ruling over the Great Tang Empire in this timeline due to the influence of the Great Tang Empire on this version of Japan


The integration of Tang industrial, military and trading efforts with what was taken from the Byzantines and Persia with indigenous Japanese skill and technology leads to the early development of firearms by the version of Japan formed by the the Great Tang Empire in exile in Yamato breaking away from the China region.

Japan sends both soldiers and military aid to both the Byzantines and the Muslims fighting against the Western European crusaders, learning both Byzantine, Western European and Arab Muslim technology and military tactics which are brought back to Japan to develop it [Japan] further. 

During the sack of the Eastern Roman Empire's capital of Constantinople in 12–15 April 1204 by the Crusaders, which lead to the temporary disintegration of the Eastern Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire's ruling imperial family, the Swiss-German Imperial House of Hapsburg-Lorraine, instead take direct control of the Crusader controlled Eastern Roman successor state of the Latin Empire, [the Hapsburgs] ruling the Latin Empire and the Holy Roman Empire as a dual monarchy. The Eastern Romans never recover their empire unlike in OTL and according to myths later passed down in Japan in this timeline, the last Eastern Roman Emperor in this timeline, Alexios V Doukas, gave the position of Roman Emperor to the Japanese Emperors and stated that Japan in this timeline was the true heir of Rome to a Japanese military delegation helping the Eastern Romans fighting the crusaders. 

The Japanese do help refugees and military units from Eastern Rome to escape to Japan from the crusaders with the help of the Arabs and the Tang's old friend, the Persians, further strengthening Japan's already immense military and economic power.

The Japanese also get the Eastern Roman Empire's secret weapon of "Greek fire", a  incendiary chemical weapon [Greek Fire] made from petroleum manufactured in and used by the Eastern Roman Empire from the seventh through the fourteenth centuries

When the Genghis Khan-descended Mongolian Imperial House of Borjigin-ruled Great Mongol Nation/"Mongol Empire" and its [the Great Mongol Nation's] successor state ruling over much of Siberia, parts of Central Asia, Inner and Outer Manchuria, Han China, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, East Turkestan and Tibet from Greater Mongolia, the Genghis Khan-descended Mongolian Imperial House of Borjigin-ruled Great Yuan Empire/Great Yuan State/Yuan dynasty, both [the Great Mongol Nation and the Great Yuan Empire] attempt  [the Great Mongol Nation and the Great Yuan Empire] to  [the Great Mongol Nation and the Great Yuan Empire] invade Japan from 1274 and 1281, the invasion [of Japan by the Great Mongol Nation and the Great Yuan Empire] still  [of Japan by the Great Mongol Nation and the Great Yuan Empire] fail, but Japan is [Japan] able to [Japan] hold onto Korea unlike OTL.

Development of rocketry technology by the Japanese continues during and after the Mongol-Japanese Wars, with indigenous Japanese gunpowder technology being combined with European smithing techniques and Sakuradite to create advanced weaponry. 

The Manchus in Han China still rise up in rebellion against the Mongolian occupation of Han China and [the Manchus in Han China] still [the Manchus in Han China] form the pre-Qing, post-1368, pre-1662 Han Chinese Imperial House of Zhu-ruled absolute imperial dynastic royal monarchy/Islamic sultanate of the Great Ming State/Great Ming Empire/"Ming dynasty" as the government of post-Yuan China but the ethnic Korean military commander in Japanese controlled Korea, Yi Seong-gye, [Yi Seong-gye] is [Yi Seong-gye] killed in action while [Yi Seong-gye] fighting against Yuan forces retreating from the Manchurian Korean border and [Yi Seong-gye in this timeline] thus [Yi Seong-gye in this timeline] never founds the pre-1932, post-1897, Han Chinese-Korean Royal House of Jeonji Yi/Yi dynasty/Lee dynasty/House of Yi-ruled imperial absolute royal monarchy and satellite state/tributary state of the Ming of the Great Joeson State/Great Joeson/Kingdom of Great Joeson/Great Joeson Kingdom/Joeson Kingdom in this timeline, and thus Korea remains under Japanese rule until the modern day and beyond. 


The Ming and Japan engage in a Cold War with each other for who [the Ming and Japan] will dominate North Asia and Eurasia, with the Ming challenging the Japanese-controlled Silk Road and dominating the China region and the Japanese dominating the waves. The Ming and Japanese also compete over who is the true heir of the Han Chinese civilization created by the Han dynasty and who should be the leader of Islam within North Asia. 

The indigenous Jurchen tribes of Manchuria still emerge from Manchuria and [the Jurchen tribes of Manchuria] still conquer the Ming in a brutal campaign from 1644-1662, [the Jurchens] subsequently establishing the post-1662, pre-1912 Manchu Imperial House of Aisin Gioro-ruled, Manchu-dominated imperial absolute dynastic federalist royal monarchy of the Great Qing Empire ruling [the Great Qing Empire] over Han China, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, East Turkestan, Tibet, Inner and Outer Mongolia and Tuva from [the Great Qing Empire's stronghold] Inner and Outer Manchuria, but the Japanese are [the Japanese] the ones to [what the Japanese do in this timeline] conquer [what the Japanese conquer in this timeline]  the post-1661, pre-1683 side branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato/Minamoto dynasty of the Japanese-Han Chinese Royal House of Koxinga/Zheng dynasty-ruled Ming satelite state/rump kingdom of the Kingdom of Tungning in [the territories the Kingdom of Tungning ruled over] Taiwan and the Pengu Islands on  10–16 July 1683 instead of the Great Qing Empire like in OTL. 

The Royal House of Koxinga/Zheng dynasty is [the Royal House of Koxinga/Zheng dynasty] reabsorbed [the Royal House of Koxinga/Zheng dynasty] into the Imperial House of Yamato and the Ming aristocracy, royalty and nobility on exile on Taiwan with the Zheng dynasty are also absorbed into the Japanese aristocracy, royalty and nobility after the conquest of the Kingdom of Tungning by the Japanese in this timeline. 

The Qing and Japanese also engage in a Cold War with each other [the Qing and the Japanese] with the Qing industrializing, developing and modernizing earlier than in OTL in response to the Japanese. 

Leaving Asia for a little bit, the American Revolution success as in OTL and not in canon Code Geass but the Holy Roman Empire takes direct control of the newly independent USA . British loyalists in the USA flee to Canada. 

Japan in this timeline is [Japan in this timeline] this timeline's version of the absolute parliamentary constitutional royal imperial monarchy of the German Royal House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-ruled British Empire in exile known as the Holy Brittanian Empire [Code Geass franchise] ruling [the Holy Brittanian Empire] over the Southern United States, all of the Lesser Antilies, French Guyana, Suriname, Egypt, Sudan, Somalialand, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Gambia, Sierra Leone, northwestern Somalia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Nigeria, Ghana, and Malawi, Malyasia, Brunei, Singapore, Greater India [Pakistan, Bangladesh and India], Oman, Yemen, and Oceania [Australia and New Zealand] from [the Holy Brittanian Empire's homebase] Canada and Greater Jamaica [Jamaica, the Turks and Caicos, Belize and the Cayman Islands] which [the Holy Brittanian Empire] is [Brittania] still formed when the British lose the Napoleonic Wars to the French Empire like in canon Code Geass. 

The 1868 Meiji Restoration in the Japanese Tokugawa clan-ruled de jure absolute imperial royal monarchy but de facto feudal hereditary military dictatorship of the Tokugawa shogunate that [the Tokugawa shogunate] ruled [the Tokugawa shogunate] over the Japanese Home Islands and Okinawa that [the Meiji Restoration] abolished the rule of the shoguns and the feudal system over Japan and [the Meiji Restoration] lead to the Japanese imperial family, the Japanese Imperial House of Great Yamato/Minamoto dynasty, [the Japanese Imperial House of Great Yamato/Minamoto dynasty as a result of the Meiji Restoration] regaining executive control over the Japanese government and the subsequent formation of the Japanese Imperial House of Great Yamato/Minamoto dynasty-ruled Unitary parliamentary semi-constitutional monarchy of the Great Japanese Empire/Empire of Great Japan/Empire of Japan/Imperial Japan ruling over Sahlakin and the Kurils, Okinawa, the Marinas, the Carolinas, Palau and the Korean peninsula from [the Great Japanese Empire's home base] the Japanese Home Islands and Taiwan and the Pengu Islands, [the Meiji Restoration] leading to the development of a democratic parliamentary system in Japanese politics and [the Meiji Restoration] paving the way for the industrial and military development that made Japan into a regional and then a world superpower in OTL, [the Meiji Restoration in this timeline] instead [the Meiji Restorationin this timeline ] leads [the Meiji Restoration in this timeline] to a compromise between the liberal, social democractic and progressive reformers who support the Japanese imperial family [the Imperial House of Great Yamato/Minamoto dynasty] and the conservative, traditional aristocrats and merchants who support the de-facto Japanese royal family [the Tokugawa clan], with the Imperial House of Great Yamato/Minamoto dynasty still [the Imperial House of Great Yamato/Minamoto dynasty] regaining executive control over the Japanese government, but the reigning heads of the Tokugawa clan are [the reigning heads of the Tokugawa clan] not [the reigning heads of the Tokugawa clan] displaced [the reigning heads of the Tokugawa clan] from their [the Tokugawa clan's reigning heads'] role as shoguns [barbarian-killing generalissmos |shoguns|, the hereditary military dictators |shoguns| akin to the absolute monarchs of post-Rennissance Europe who |the shoguns| were the de-facto leaders of Japan during the period of feudal rule under the military dictatorship of the various shogunates of Japan from 1192-1868] but instead [the reigning heads of the Tokugawa clan] becoming more akin to the Reichskanzlers [Realm Chancellors/Imperial Chancelors/Chancelors of the Realm |Reichskanzlers|] of the German Royal House of Hohenzollern-ruled Kingdom of Prussia-dominated German Empire and the Swiss-Austrian Imperial House of Habsburg-Lorraine-ruled Austria-Hungarian Empire and the constitutional European royal monarchs of the post-Napoleon era.


The buke/samurai are [the buke/samurai] not [the buke/samurai] abolished [the buke/samurai] along with  the daimyō  after the Meiji Restoration like in OTL, but [the buke/samurai and the daimyō] instead [the buke/samurai and the daimyō] being [the buke/samurai and the daimyō] absorbed [the buke/samurai and the daimyō] into the hereditary peerage of the Great Japanese Empire, the Kazoku ["Magnificent/Exalted lineage" |Kazoku|] in this timeline. 

The Japanese still defeat the Great Qing Empire in  the First Sino-Japanese War of 25 July 1894 – 17 April 1895 but [the Japanese] have a stronger presence [the Japanese] in the Qing stronghold and homebase of Greater Manchuria unlike in OTL due to a more industrialized, developed and advanced combined armed forces of the Great Japanese Empire, the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces, more specifically the IJAF's ground combat arm, the Imperial Japanese Army than in OTL. 



The 10 October 1911 – 12 February 1912 Xinhai Revolution against the Great Qing Empire launched [the Xinhai Revolution] by [who launched the Xinhai Revolution] the Han Nationalist, Han supremacist and Han expansionist secret society/political organization/militant group of the Tongmenghui, what will later become the Han nationalist, Han supremacist, center to far right, Chinese nationalist, Chinese supremacist, Leninist-Stalinist nationalist revolutionary party/secret society/paramilitary group of the Kuomintang [Chinese Nationalist Party |Kuomintang|] founded [the Kuomintang] by [the Kuomintang's founder] the Cantonese-Hakka medical student turned Han Chinese revolutionary, statesman and political theorist Sun Wen, [Wen] more popularly known as [Wen's more popular name] "Dr Sun Yat-Sen" in [when Wen founded the Kuomingtang] 1895 along with Han nationalist, Han supremacist, Han monarchist and Han imperialist groups wishing to overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming as the government of China, [the Xinhai Revolution in this timeline] remains steadfast in its [the Xinhai Revolution's] goal of [what the aim of the Xinhai Revolution was] "Overthrow Qing, restore Ming", which ["Overthrow Qing, restore Ming"] meant ["Overthrow Qing, restore Ming"] that [the meaning of the slogan "Overthrow Qing, restore Ming" during the Xinhai Revolution] the pre-1644, pre-Great Qing Empire, Han Chinese Imperial House of Zhu-ruled feudal imperial dynastic absolute dynasty royal monarchy of the Great Ming State/Empire of the Great Ming/Great Ming/"Ming dynasty" would [the Great Ming State/Empire of the Great Ming/Great Ming/"Ming dynasty"] be [the Great Ming State/Empire of the Great Ming/Great Ming/"Ming dynasty"] restored [the Great Ming State/Empire of the Great Ming/Great Ming/"Ming dynasty"] as the government [the Great Ming State/Empire of the Great Ming/Great Ming/"Ming dynasty"] of Han China proper after the overthrow of the Great Qing Empire, with the stratocratic [military-ruled/military dominated |stratocratic|] Beiyang Government of the federal parliamentary presidental republic under military dictatorship of the first Republic of China ruling [the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China] over post Xinhai, post-Qing Han China never [the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China] being [the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China] a Republic [the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China] upon its [the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China] formation in [when the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China was |the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China| formed] on 10 March 1912 but [the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China] instead [the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China] always being [the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China] the Empire of China formed by the top dog in the Great Qing Empire's combined naval, aeiral and ground combat forces, the New Army turned rising star in the Beiyang-ruled ROC's political establishment after the Xinhai Revolution and eventually first president of the first Republic of China, the Han Chinese Yuan Shikai on [when Shikai transformed the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China into the Empire of China] 12 December 1915 in OTL, with the Imperial House of Zhu being [the Imperial House of Zhu] reenthroned [the Imperial House of Zhu] as the Chinese imperial family [the Imperial House of Zhu].

This [the Beiyang Goverment being formed as the Empire of China ruled by the Imperial House of Zhu and |the Beiyang Government| never |the Beiyang Government| being |the Beiyang Government| a Republic |the Beiyang Government|] is [the Beiyang Government being |the Beiyang Government| formed |the Beiyang Government| as the Empire of China ruled by the Imperial House of Zhu and |the Beiyang Government| never |the Beiyang Government| being |the Beiyang Government| a Republic |the Beiyang Government|] due to [why the Beiyang Government is |the Beiyang Government| formed |the Beiyang Government| as the Empire of China ruled by the Imperial House of Zhu and |the Beiyang Government| never |the Beiyang Government| being |the Beiyang Government| a Republic |the Beiyang Government|] the influence of the millenianist Chinese folk religious sect focused on militant self-defense and tax resistance along with romanticised monarchism, wishing to restore the pre Qing Han Chinese Imperial House of Zhu-ruled Great Ming State/Great Ming Empire/"Ming dynasty" as the government of China, the Yellow Sand Society, which [the Yellow Sand Society] has [the Yellow Sand Society] been [the Yellow Sand Society] been [the Yellow Sand Society] gathering strength and influence among the Chinese people, the pervasive influence of the Cantonese-Han Chinese secret societies and organized crime syndicates known as the Triads, which [the Triads] are pervasive through Cantonia [Guangdong and Guangxi] and [the Triads] also have the goal of [the Triads' goal] restoring the the pre Qing Han Chinese Imperial House of Zhu-ruled Great Ming State/Great Ming Empire/"Ming dynasty" as the government of China despite their [the Triads'] criminal activities and also to counter the influence of the charismatic leader of the Xinhai Revolution and subsequent founder of the Han nationalist, Han supremacist, Chinese nationalist, Chinese imperialist, Marxist-Stalinist, semi-fascist political party/militant group/secret society of the KMT/Kuomingtang after the toppling of the Great Qing Empire via the Xinhai Revolution and the subsequent formation of the Beiyang-ruled first ROC as the government of Han China, the Cantonese-Hakka doctor turned Han nationalist revolutionary and stateman Sun Wen, who [Sun Wen] is [Sun Wen] known as [Sun Wen's other name] "Dr. Sun Yat-Sen" outside Asia along with the desire of the Han Chinese people to emulate the Meiji Restoration, as well as Japan taking a more involved and direct role in [Japan] helping to [Japan] covertly support and [Japan] direct the Xinhai Revolution in this timeline.


Due to Shikai never [what Shikai never does] proclaiming himself [Shikai] as Emperor of Han China like in OTL and the Chinese monarchy [the Great Ming State and the Imperial House of Zhu] being [the Great Ming State and the Imperial House of Zhu] restored [the Great Ming State and the Imperial House of Zhu] as the government [the Great Ming State and the Imperial House of Zhu] of Han China through the Beiyang Government-ruled Empire of China in this timeline, [the Great Ming State and the Imperial House of Zhu being |the Great Ming State and the Imperial House of Zhu| restored |the Great Ming State and the Imperial House of Zhu| as the government |the Great Ming State and the Imperial House of Zhu| of Han China after the Xinhai Revolution in this timeline] as was the goal of the Xinhai Revolution [restoring the Ming to power in Han China after the overthrow of the Qing], the modern warlord era of post-Xinhai, post-Qing Han Chinese history from 1916 to 1928 never happens due to the vast majority of Han Chinese people supporting the restored monarchy [the Great Ming State and the Imperial House of Zhu] and the reenthroned Chinese imperial family [the Imperial House of Zhu] being [the Imperial House of Zhu] ready [the Imperial House of Zhu] to [the Imperial House of Zhu] listen to the Han Chinese people's needs.



Yuan Shikai still [Shikai] creates an extensive peerage system for the Empire of China but [Shikai] merges it [the Empire of China's peerage system] with [what Shikai merges the Empire of China's peerage system with] the pre-Genghis Khan-descended Mongolian Imperial House of Borjigin-ruled Great Mongol Nation/"Mongol Empire" and its [the Great Mongol Nation's] successor state ruling over much of Siberia, parts of Central Asia, Inner and Outer Manchuria, Han China, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, East Turkestan and Tibet from Greater Mongolia, the Genghis Khan-descended Mongolian Imperial House of Borjigin-ruled Great Yuan Empire/Great Yuan State/Yuan dynasty, [the pre-Mongol Empire and pre-Yuan dynasty] Han Chinese Imperial House of Zhao-ruled Great Song State/Great Song/Empire of the Great Song/"Song dynasty" and the pre-Manchu Imperial House of Aisin-Gioro-ruled Manchu-dominated Great Qing Empire/Empire of the Great Qing ruling over Han China, Greater Mongolia, Tuva Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, East Turkestan and Tibet from Inner and Outer Mongolia, Ming era [the pre-Mongol Empire, pre-Great Yuan, and pre-Qing] Han Chinese aristocracy, monarchy and nobility, [Yuan Shikai merging the Empire of China's peerage system with the pre-Mongol Empire and pre-Great Yuan Empire, Song era and pre-Qing Ming era Han Chinese aristocracy, monarchy and nobility] to [Shikai] create a coherent, united aristocratic system of peerage for the country [the Empire of China].

The descendants of the last emperor of the Great Ming State, Zhu Youjian, who [Youjin] had the era name of [Youjin’s era name] Chongzhen, and the last emperor of the Ming rump state of the Southern Ming, Zhu Youlang, whose [Youlang’s] era name was [Youlang’s era name] Yongli being [the descendants of Chongzhen and Yongli] are [the descendants of Chongzhen and Yongli] merged [the descendants of Chongzhen and Yongli] into a single imperial line [the descendants of Chongzhen and Yongli] via multiple marriages, concubinages and adoption, although the marriage of Shikai's daughter to the last Emperor of the Great Qing State, the then young Aisin-Gioro Henry, whose [Henry's] era name was [Henry's era name] Pu-Yi, [the marriage of Shikai's daughter to Henry] as one of his [Henry's] wives continues and goes on despite Shikai never [what Shikai never does] crowning himself [Shikai] Emperor of Han China.

Shikai's reenthroment of the Zhu after the formation of the Empire of China instead of [Shikai] crowing himself [Shikai] Emperor of Han China ironically solidifies his [Shikai's] legacy and [Shikai's reinstatement of the Great Ming State through the Empire of China] also prevents the mass session of provinces within Han China from the Beiyang-ruled first ROC unlike OTL due to reformers, modernists and decentralists both in the Kuomingtang and the Beiyang government structure promoting a federal government structure that allows for the autonomy and freedom of the provinces of Han China proper within the boundaries of the Empire of China, akin to that in the German Royal House of Hohenzollern-ruled Kingdom of Prussia-dominated German Empire.


The American educated Cantonese statesman Tang Shaoyi becomes [Shaoyi] the first Prime Minister [Shaoyi] of the Empire of China from 13 March 1912 to 1915, [Shaoyi] followed by the Roman Catholic priest and monk Lu Zhengxiang from 1915-1920, followed [Zhengxiang] by Xu Shichang from 1920- 2 June 1922 and then by Wen's chosen successor and heir of his [Wen's] will, Wang Jingwei from 1923-1947, who [Jingwei] presides over a alternate Second Sino-Japanese War pitting the restored Ming, Japan and even Qing-ruled Manchuria against KMT splinter cells lead [the KMT splinter cells] by [the leader of the KMT splinter cells] Wen's other student Chiang Kai Shek, and then [Jingwei being |Jingwei| succeeded as Prime Minister of the Empire of China] by Xu Hanhao of the Han Chinese nationalist, Han Chinese imperialist and Han Chinese expansionist Young China Party from 1948-1952, and then by Li Huang from 1952-1975, also [Huang] of the YCP, then Hua Guofeng from 4 February 1976 – 10 September 1980, who [Guofeng] remained in the YCP due to the Han nationalist, Han supremacist, Han imperialist, Marxist-Stalinist fascist Chinese Communist Party remaining within the YCP, then Hu Jintao from 8 July 1985 to 1 December 1992 who [Jintao] remained in the YCP like Guofeng and the other CCP members, then Ma Ying-jeou of the KMT from 20 May 2008 – 20 May 2016, Eric Chu of the KMT from 20 May 2016 to 13 January 2024 and then finally Wenzhou Wu of the YCP from Febuary 2024, by the modern-era equivalent in this timeline.


The National Protection War of 25 December 1915 – 14 July 1916 between the Beiyang-ruled first ROC as the Empire of China and what would become the Han nationalist, Han supremacist, Chinese nationalist, Chinese imperialist, Marxist-Stalinist political party/militant group/secret society of the KMT/Kuomingtang and the joint American-Soviet satellite state the KMT ruled with an iron fist, the Unitary, adhering to Sun Yat Sen's three principles of the people, nationalism, democracy and socialism [social welfare] one-party ruled and dominated directorial republic under a military dictatorship of the Second Republic of China/Nationalist China/National Government of the Republic of China, then [the embyroic Nationalist China] under the rule of Wen/"Yat-Sen" [The National Protection War] ends with the victory of the Empire of China over the embryonic Nationalist China due to Shikai never making himself [Shikai] Emperor unlike in OTL and [Shikai] instead returning the Zhu to power in China in this timeline, the Empire of China agreeing for Yunnan to [Yunnan] secede [Yunnan] from the Beiyang-ruled first ROC and [Yunnan] subsequently restore the Bai-Han Chinese Imperial House of Duan-ruled absolute feudal dynastic royal imperial monarchy of the Daili Kingdom as its [Yunnan's] government in exchange for Yunnanese support against the Chinese nationalists, and Cantonian independence activists and supporters in the Nationalist strongholds of Guangxi and Guangdong undermining the Nationalist war effort.

A miscommunication between Wen/"Yat-Sen" and his [Wen's] Japanese backers leads to the Japanese switching support from the Nationalists to the Beiyang-ruled ROC as the Empire of China during the National Protection War, although the Japanese do take Manchuria, which [Manchuria] during and after the Xinhai Revolution came under the rule of [what ruled Manchuria during and after the Xinhai Revolution] the Han Chinese warlord clique/military junta/government faction of the Fengtian Clique, [Manchuria coming under the rule of the Fengtian Clique] which [the Fengtian Clique] was [the Fengtian Clique] headed [the Fengtian Clique] by [the ruler of the Fengtian Clique] the Han Chinese bandit turned bannerman under the Manchu military system, Zhang Zhuolin, [Zhuolin] known [Zhuolin] as "the Old Marshal" [Japan taking Fengtian Clique-ruled post-Xinhai Manchuria] and [Japan taking] Inner Mongolia as protectorates [of Japan], [the Japanese] restoring the Manchurian monarchy [the Imperial House of Aisin-Gioro and the Great Qing Empire] in post-Xinhai, post-Qing, Fengtian Clique-ruled Manchuria and [the Japanese] reestablishing the Genghis Khan-descended Mongolian Imperial House of Borjigin-ruled Great Yuan Empire/Great Yuan State/Yuan dynasty in Inner Mongolia.

Wen/"Yat-Sen" is [Wen/"Yat-Sen"] killed [Wen/"Yat-Sen"] during the fighting and the Nationalist Chinese state headquartered in Guangdong and Guangxi essentially becomes a independent Cantonian republic after his [Wen's/"Yat-Sen"'s] death due to Cantonese independence activists and [Cantonese] nationalists desiring a separate state from Han China taking over Nationalist China after his [Wen's/"Yat-Sen"'s] death.

Japan still gains Sahlakin and the Kurils during the Russian Civil War of 1917-1920, [Japan] still [Japan] making these areas [Sahlakin and the Kurils] into the Japanese province of Karufuto.

The Second Sino-Japanese War of 1928-1947 between the Japanese Empire and Nationalist China with both the USA and the USSR backing Nationalist China never happens due to the earlier death of Wen/"Yat-Sen" and the Beiyang Government's Japanophilic, pro-Western leanings.

Although Kai-Shek does [Kai-Shek] attempt to [Kai-Shek] lead Kuomingtang splinter cells in Nationalist China in rebellion against both Nationalist China and the Empire of China in the 1920s, the Cantonese people, [the Cantonese people] satisfied with independence from both Han China and Manchuria, [the Cantonese people] are uninterested in his [Kai Shek's] dreams for a Greater Nationalist China having all the territory of the Qing dynasty despite significant support for him [Kai-Shek] from both the USA and the USSR and Kai-Shek finds himself [Kai-Shek] a virtual outcast [Kai-Shek], [Kai-Shek] eventually being [Kai-Shek] assassinated [Kai-Shek] by a Triad assassin when [Kai-Shek] leaving Nationalist China in around 1939-1940.

The restored Great Qing Empire in Manchuria does transition into the Japanese protectorate of the Qing Imperial family, the Manchu House of Aisin-Gioro-ruled Unitary personalist one-party constitutional parliamentary monarchy under a totalitarian military dictatorship of the Empire of Manchukuo in Manchuria in a slow process of constitutional reform and governmental development from the late 1920s until the early 1930s and the restored Yuan dynasty in Inner Mongolia does transition into the Japanese protectorate of the Genghis Khan-descended Imperial House of Borjigin-ruled Mongolian Autonomous Federation/Mengjiang in Inner Mongolia's Chahar and Suiyan regions.

The side branch of the Genghis Khan-descended Mongolian Imperial House of Borjigin, the Mongolian Imperial House of Chagatai-ruled joint-Islamic sultanate and Mongolian khanate of the Kumul Khanate in East Turkestan's Hami provinces, [the Kumul Khanate] takes over the rest of East Turkestan and East Turkestan never becomes a part of post-Xinhai Han China unlike OTL.

The theocratic Buddhist absolute monarchy of the Lama-ruled Kingdom of Tibet in Tibet is [the Kingdom of Tibet] never integrated [the Kingdom of Tibet] into China, [the Kingdom of Tibet] remaining independent [the Kingdom of Tibet] to this very day.

The Beiyang Government is [the Beiyang Government] still [the Beiyang Government] Japanophilic and [the Beiyang Government] friendly to the West despite it [the Beiyang Goverment] being [the Beiyang Goverment] a modern incarnation [the Beiyang Government] of the Great Ming State in this scenario, with Japan still having good relationships with and a fair amount of control over the Beiyang Government.

The Shōwa Restoration of February 26, 1936 in the Japanese Empire, [the Shōwa Restoration] also known as the February 26 incident, [the Shōwa Restoration] being [the Shōwa Restoration] organized [the Shōwa Restoration] by a group of young Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) officers belonging to the ultranationalist secret society with the goal of reorganizing the Japanese state along totalitarian militarist lines and state socialism, the Cherry Blossom Society [the Shōwa Restoration being carried out] with the goal of purging the Japanese government andJapanese military leadership of their [the young officers' carrying out the Shōwa Restoration's] factional rivals and ideological opponents, [the Shōwa Restoration being |the Shōwa Restoration| carried out |the Shōwa Restoration|] with the goal of restoring power to the then newly enthroned Japanese Emperor Shōwa [personal name Hirohito] and simultaneously abolishing the liberal Taishō democracy, with the Taishō democracy within the Japanese Empire being [the Taishō democracy] replaced [the Taishō democracy] a small group of qualified people backing up a strong Emperor, [the Shōwa Restoration in the Japanese Empire] succeeds [the Shōwa Restoration in the Japanese Empire] due to NKVD agent Richard Sorge being [Sorge] by the IJA’s military police with civilian secret police, espionage, and counter-intelligence roles within the Greater Japanese Empire with duties of maintaining military discipline, enforcing conscription laws, protecting vital military zones, and investigating crimes among soldiers while also issuing travel permits, recruited labor, arrested resistance, requisitioned food and supplies, spread propaganda, and suppressed anti-Japanese sentiment in areas occupied by the IJA during wartime, the Kempeitai and the Japanese policing organization, established within the Japanese Home Ministry for the purpose of carrying out high policing, domestic criminal investigations, and control of political groups and ideologies deemed to threaten the public order of the Japanese Empire with functions of criminal investigation and counter-espionage, the Tokkō and [Sorge] quickly neutralized, with the spy ring he [Sorge] had built in Japan being [Sorge’s spy ring] mopped up without the Soviets being anywiser and the Japanese domestic and foreign intelligence organizations being reorganized in order to prevent further breaches of security, [the mopping up of the Soviet spy ring in the Japanese Empire] preventing them [the Tokkō and the Kempeitai] from [the Tokkō and the Kempeitai] noticing [the Tokkō and the Kempeitai] domestic threats within the Japanese Empire such as the Cherry Blossom Society. 


Due to the Second Sino-Japanese War never happening, the Beiyang Government, Manchukuo, Mengjiang and Imperial Japan all [the Beiyang Government, Manchukuo, Mengjiang and Imperial Japan] survive [the Beiyang Government, Manchukuo, Mengjiang and Imperial Japan] post-WW2 and post-1947 into the present day and beyond with Nationalist China surviving post-1949 into the present day and beyond.

Brittania never conquers Japan unlike in canon Code Geass due to Japan in this timeline being [Japan in this timeline] stronger than in both real life and OTL and [Japan in this timeline] being [Japan in this timeline] the first nation [Japan in this timeline] to [Japan in this timeline] develop ICBMs and nuclear weaponry. 

The Brittanians still develop the  Sakuradite [Code Geass franchise]-powered humanoid war machine mechs standing at an impressive height of four to five meters, equipped with Landspinners, ingenious self-propelled roller skates [Landspinners] affixed to their ankles, [the land spinners] enabling agile mobility and rapid speeds across diverse terrains, capturing data via the remarkable Factsphere Sensors encased within a protective layer of armor,[the Factsphere Sensors] can [the Factsphere Sensors] be [the Factsphere Sensors] retracted to heighten system sensitivity, ensuring the utmost precision and accuracy,[the Factsphere Sensors] endowed with thermographic capabilities and an array of other data-collection functions, all seamlessly collated in real-time, along with having the respective units' respective cockpits in the respective units' prominent 'hump back', a self-contained control center [the cockpit] from which the mech is expertly piloted, [the cockpit] having the ability to be ejected in case of an emergency known as [the name of the mechs] Knightmare Frames, [Code Geass] in the 1950s but the Kempeitai manages to steal the designs and specs for the Knightmare Frames and soon all of East Asia has its own Knightmare Frames thanks to the Japanese.
