Kou Empire

The Kou Empire (煌帝国, Kō Teikoku) is a large military nation, considered one of the most powerful in the current era because of the number of Dungeon Capturers and armies it controls. The capital is Rakushou which could be located where Beijing is. The empire is also described as very aggressive, using any reason to attack another nation.
It is a nation located in China in the world of Magi: The Labrynth of Magic.
==Government==
The Ren household, which has ruled on the commoners for centuries[2], are the rulers of the Kou Empire.
Hakutoku Ren, the First Emperor, founded the empire. He had four children with his wife, Gyokuen Ren.
When Hakutoku Ren and two of his sons died during a revolt, his brother Koutoku Ren, who had ten children with at least three different women, became the Second Emperor. Although, at that time, Hakuryuu Ren, the youngest son of Hakutoku Ren, had succession rights that were superior to that of Koutoku Ren, he was, however, young and on the verge of life and death, hence why the seat of the Second Emperor were given to Koutoku. Koutoku adopted the remaining siblings, Hakuei and Hakuryuu and soon after married Gyokuen. After Hakutoku’s death, Gyokuen became the new Empress, as that was what was written on the Second Emperor’s will. She was later overthrown and killed by her son, Hakuryuu, who took back what is rightfully his.
==Military==
The Kou Empire is one of the world's superpowers. It takes advantage of its Dungeon Capturers to invade other countries. Recently, they have even acquired dungeon monsters for their army. They also possessed a powerful naval fleet and flying carpets for transporting troops.
Magicians are also employed within their ranks and are stationed in various locations, which they transmit communication through long-range Clairvoyance Magic. However, this was a highly classified secret.
