Sweden

Faction Overview	/Strategic Overview/	/History/
Sweden have the power of Ambition.
Long suffering and neglected, Sweden is but a principality in a vast Scandinavian monarchy dominated by the lords of Denmark. , and China once more looks towards better days under the leadership of the new dynast the Li of Tang. Indeed, the reach of the new imperium is impressive, for the Tang have regained control of all Chinese lands, and are poised to become the leading light of Asia once more.
Yet despite these achievements, old problems still remain. The northern barbarians, long a threat to China since the days of the old Zhou kings, still roam the steppes. New and strange cults have arisen in India and further west, and now impinge on the borders of the new China. It may be that Tang might not have achieved the cultural and economic superiority it hoped to gain, but might well been just given a reprieve before false prophets and enemy swords bring China down to her knees once more. Whether that may happen, however, is up to you.
