Tianquo

Tianquo is a large continent traditionally west of Magna Petram.
The Continent is home to several states, the Republic of Tianquo, Chongqing People's Republic, Beibu Kingdom, Nam Teyu, Nanbu Kingdom, and Bando Kingdom. The Dongfang Kingdom experienced a parallel civil war to the Fung Civil War, and subsequently joined the Republic of Tianquo. The continent is home to 600,000,000 peoples, 480 million of whom live in the Tianquan Republic. 
The north of the continent is being ravaged by the Nichibotsu-Fung War.
Dynasties of the Heavenly Empire
Dynasty #	Family 	In traditional	Reign 	Notes
1 	Fùqīn 	父親 	0-501 	This may or may not be entirely  mythical as the dynasty also is the word for ‘Father’ but this is the 1st
2 	Zhu 	主 	501-650 	
3 	Tsin 	清 	650-701 	Cha Long Tsin, an influential Eunuch in the court of the Zhu dynasty, lead the Eunuchs in the struggle against the army in the reign of the last Zhu Emperor, a child, and declared himself Heavenly Emperor upon the child’s ‘tragic’ death. His reign was surprisingly long and stabilizing, but his lack of an heir lead to the 4th Dynasty
4 	Dong 	東 	701-793 	
5 	Qanin 	卡寧 	793-993 	
6 	Zhang 	悠久 	883-1321 	
7 	Man 	嫚 	1321-1446	
8 	Ming 	明 	1446-1804	The Ming are revered as the most peaceful, most enlightened, most pure of the Dynasties, however this may be from centuries of romanticizing their image to contrast the alleged Golden Age against the ‘terrible’ Juwairen Era, and may in fact be partially or entirely made up.

Shihai-Sha	局外人
支配者 	1804-1936	This Dynasty is reviled in almost all historical and cultural texts. Believed to be a period in which Tianquo was subject to a foreign invasion, and the Ming Golden Age replaced with harsh foreign rule, most likely from the Nichibotsu. Overthrown by mass uprisings, leading to a period of 48 years where there was no central government
- 	 	 	1936-1984	The Imperial Palace is empty, with the continent broke up into smaller petty kingdoms, with four major competitors for power.
10 	Tǒngyī zhě	統一者 	1984-2117	The Dynasty’s family name comes from a special title given to their first holder, Wu the Unifier. The period saw rebuilding, a cultural renaissance, and a ‘Silver age’
11 	Cheng 	程 	2117-2231	In a rare example, the Cheng dynasty came to power peacefully after the death of the last Emperor of the Tǒngyī zhě Dynasty in 2117
12 	Ten 	十 	2202-2468	The Ten Dynasty came to power in the southwest regions of Tianquo during a continent wide civil war, and finally defeated the Cheng in 2231
13 	Wei-Sho 	衛所 	2468-2481	Wei-Sho dynasty was overthrown by a popular uprising lead by a warrior-priest, only 13 years into the reign of the Duǎn Emperor, who had overthrown the Ten Dynasty. It turns out making a magician-priest Emperor is a bad idea!
14 	Yuen 	元 	2481-2612	The Yuen Dynasty was considered a new Golden Age for Tianquo, but in the later half of the Dynasty lost control of a number of ethnic regions. This weakness, and court infighting lead to the collapse of the Yuen to the Fung after an intense period of fighting amongst Warlords
15 	Fung 	馮 	2612-2848	The Fung rose to power after winning the War of the Four Kingdoms. They were the first to have prolonged interactions with the East, ending with the disastrous Fung Trade War. Power weakened substantially over the next several decades, before the Fung Civil War began in 302. In 338KOR the Xiànrù kùnjìng Emperor was forced to surrender at the Battle of Wuhan.
