Zhonghan

== Overview ==
The United Socialist State of Zhonghan or Zhonghan for short, is a communist state lies at the continent of Osho that borders South Ubizieten at the North while Sonyong at their South. Huadao is the national capital, housing to the government branches, as well as a central hub for communists in Osho. With the population of 879.28 million people, it is the most populated nation in Elparia, in ahead of one of her ally, United Nyle Kingdom (Kemet) with 512.11 million population. Despite the homogeneous ethnicity, Zhonghan has a cultural groups such as Konzaskan Slavs and Minachian Latins due to their strong tied history while majority of the population is identified as Siaonise. The national language is Siaoni but still active in Trekan and Konzaskan, meaning an average Zhonghan citizen can speak 3 languages. Other than that, Zhonghan does not endorse any religion to be "moderators of the nation" in order to avoid biased opinions but still uphold freedom of religion practices within the nation.
== Etymology ==
The word "Zhonghan" can be referred all the way back since the Age of Dynasty of Zhonghan by the 13th century. It was referred to the second Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, Zhong Youqiu, which is his real name, being the most obese in out of all of the Emperors in the Dynasty, reaching to 98kg at his peak years. The word "Zhong" is referred to him, which means fat and "Han" is what the citizens of the dynasty used to be called as. 
However, the meaning was changed by 1926, when the first President of the Zhonghan National Republic, Huang Xiaojing, made a speech at the Huadao Great Square titled: "The Independent, The Central Hans, Zhonghan" which is an intentional pun, supposedly "Zhonghan" can also means the "Central Hans" but this pun soon to be the official name of Zhonghan.
Other people also have dubbed this name, especially at the 80s, during the Great Terror which is a internal conflict that fascist sympathisers declared a coup on the government. This conflict costs thousands of lives and many people, especially the now elderly people in today's time, dubbed Zhonghan as "The affected Hans" to symbolise the cruelty, fear and immoral things that the fascists have done. 
== History ==
=== Early Stages (12,000 BCE - 250 BC) ===
==== Evidences ====
Zhonghan's early history is known for its ancient findings and Inventions because of the Age of Dynasty, having luxurious furniture, especially at the Tianfong Imperial Square, which is located at the Southern part of Greater Huadao. The Zhonghan's National Archeological Group has found the earliest human remains in the region of Yuifan in Chengdau Cave, recorded way back at 1.2 million years ago, also known as the Pleistocene Era (Ice Age). The ZNAG also successfully found the oldest man-made construction dated to 11,000 years ago or the Neolithic Era, located at the region of Yuifan, Zhouhui. The city of Zhouhui to this day maintained its "ancient architecture" to not be tempered with the symbolism of the city and overall identity. 
The Proto-Siaonise people were thought to be the origin of the modern day Zhonghanian citizens. The word "Siaonise" or "Siaoni" is a word from the people that describe themselves as "The River People" since they lived near the modern day Huadao River. The language was now known as "Old Siaonise" or "Classical Siaonise" which is often thought in literatures and traditions to this day. 
==== The Foundation ====
Followed by the harsh ice age, around the year of 12,000 BCE, the Proto-Siaonise began agricultural practices like the wide scale of producing rice paddies, making the population explode. With the agricultural revolution trending, the first Emperor of the dynasty, Emperor Shui, declared to be the emperor because he owns the majority of the resources around him. However, some tribal chiefs were not fond of this idea, beginning to see some first signs of conflict in the continent of Osho by around 2,000 BCE, especially the Senwei Dispute, saying the conflict lasted a few weeks for the purpose to hold back the Siomeino tribe, bordering Tuching tribe. Despite the contest, Emperor Shui was able to reign supreme by 250 BCE, which only makes him more eligible to be the emperor, as well as owning the majority of the food production.
=== Early Dynastic Age (250 BCE - 600 AD) ===
==== Shui Dynasty ====
After successfully securing the title as the emperor, the Shui Dynasty began to take form, from the formation of constitutions, military and economic developments throughout the territory. This growth led the dynasty to be a powerful presence in the region of Osho, day by day conquering surrounding tribes, dubbing as the Conquest of the Silver Emperor. Other than conquest missions, the dynasty also began their economic route known as the Shenfang Road, further expanding their economic influence across the region. The Shui Dynasty was dubbed the first dynasty recorded ever in human history, with early civilizations formed in the Osho continent. The Shui Dynasty began to have early signs of military and royal hierarchies, anything that represents a stable civilization. 
==== The Xianqi Raid (24 AD - 39 AD) ====
While the dynasty is experiencing the blooming growth and being able to erected their territory across to the modern day of western part of Zhonghan, they suffered on raids from the outside, specifically the Xianqi Confederacy, being able to murder, kidnap and loot the dynasty's citizens which causes the dynasty's financial and political aspects to be disrupted. In response, the dynasty formed "The Haizhen Barricade" which was formerly known as the dynasty being able to build a hundred long wooden walls, fully manned with archers and guards from north to south. The impressive structure stretches all the way from the modern day town of Teiyuan to the modern day town of Quangqiu. Despite its impressive structure, the Xianqi raiders were able to destroy the walls by lighting it up on fire, as well as charge through the walls and break down the defenses, causing a quick downfall of the barricade. To this day, the barricade can still be seen from the same area and has officially become one of Zhonghan's "cultural structures". With defense broken down, the dynasty broke down in pieces, with the imperial palace struggling to hold her warlords together by 39 AD.
==== The Three Dynasty (39 AD - 50 AD) ====
The dynasty broke down to separate warlord states, with the big three being the Wu, the Huang and the Tang. These 3 warlord states mostly control most of her predecessor's resources and would easily annex the smaller states along the way. The Tang Dynasty would be the first major state to fall, as both the Huang and the Wu Dynasty collaborated on taking down the Tang at 40 AD. Despite Huang having some allied forces, their power cannot be compared to both of the most powerful warlord states. By 47 AD, both the Huang and the Wu would get into a showdown with overwhelming pillages and raids from both sides, which not only inflicted military casualties but also civilians. After both sides drew gallons of blood, the Wu Dynasty managed to get the victory by 50 AD, which is now self proclaimed as the new dynasty.
==== The Wu Dynasty ====
After the civil war ended, the Wu Dynasty maintained the superpower status within the region and began to rebuild the barricade previously made by its predecessor. It was now built with stone instead of wood with more and more various traps and defensive measures by the barricade. The Wu Dynasty also began to reforming the aspects of education, architecture and literature for the Siaonise people, most popular being the first ever "theater play" in history as well as early times of writing songs for the emperor or even as only for folklores. The first Emperor of the Wu Dynasty, Emperor Gan, introduced Chengkaism by 64 AD, in order to create a peaceful region within the dynasty, as the core beliefs of the religion itself is moralism, life and nature which causes cultural changes in aspects of literature and art. This period is also known as the Golden Age of the Dynasty, because of the sheer amount of cultural meanings and Siaonise inventions such as the compass by 202 AD. 
==== Downfall of the Raiders (542 AD - 586 AD) ====
With the huge changes inside the dynasty, more and more people began to trade with the dynasty, especially with their silk, jewellery and accessories. However, that change would once again attract the Xianqi Confederacy, once again raiding the dynasty to loot throughout the dynasty by 542 AD. This time, Emperor Yang took charge of the army in retaliation, beginning to invade the town of Xishen, which became the iconic battle, seeing the first victory of the dynasty, followed by the battle, they continued their winning streak until it eventually died down in 586 AD. The people cheered at the capital and the dynasty ceded majority of their territories, nearly touching the Shuiyong River at the east border. With that, they successfully secure their wealth and grow without interruptions. 
==== Peaceful Transition (598 AD - 600 AD) ====
While the dynasty experienced growth, once again the imperial palace fell into an heir problem, with the death of Emperor Wei, his son was called to take over his father's position to be emperor but the son didn't come. In response, the royal advisors set up a meeting at the imperial palace and elected Wei Mingxuan, who is not only rich, but also powerful within the dynasty. By 600 AD, he was peacefully crowned onto become the next Emperor for the new Wei Dynasty. This is now known as the "Peaceful Turnover" or "Calmed Transaction" era, symbolising the peaceful coronation of the emperor, with no spills of blood ever being done.
=== Middle Dynastic Age (600 AD - 1453 AD) ===
==== Exploration Missions (622 AD - 626 AD) ====
After the peaceful handover of the throne, the now Emperor Wei then began to set off a wide exploration mission to further expanding the Shenfang Road trade routes, resulting more and more newcomers to come to the now newly formed city of Huadao, which was now the new capital of the Wei Dynasty to get closer to the economic activities by 626 AD. By then, the dynasty was experiencing an economic boom by 657 AD. At the same time, the Dynasty uses this influence and trade to spread their main religion, Chengkai, to the outside world to spread influence. However, the religion was not successful as it met with hundreds of messengers to be killed due to unknown reasons. Some say it was because of them getting swept away by the harsh weather conditions, casting a huge wave coming in and swallowing the ship whole.
==== The Border Conflict (626 AD - 690 AD) ====
With the sudden surge of economic development from various trade missions, the Wei Dynasty began to assert its influence not only on the outside world, but also on the continent of Osho. This influence soon was mixed up with the Sonyongese influence, which dominates the Southern part of Osho. The Wei Dynasty began to increase their military presence nearby Sonyong to "protect the sovereignty". Unsurprisingly, Sonyong responded by also increasing the military presence to the Dynasty's border, creating tensions between both sides. By 626 AD, General Fei Sat Yuan attacked Sonyongese camps nearby without the authorization of the higher ups; what's worse is that the raid was deemed unsuccessful, forcing the Dynasty troops to pull back. As soon as the emperor knew about this news, he sought out Sonyong for a white peace, but they declined, continuing to attack and win battles after battles. Until 690 AD, Sonyong finally stopped, with the condition of taking over territories that they took, which the current Emperor, Emperor Deng, hesitantly accepted, officially ended the conflict.
==== Preservation of Peace (626 AD - 1202 AD) ====
After the devastating defeat against Sonyong, the Wei Dynasty began to have a much more "peaceful and relaxing" policy on taking care of outside events. The following days, Emperor Deng passed the policy, marking the beginning of the now dubbed: "Era of Preserving Peace" in modern day times. Here, the Wei Dynasty achieved the Golden Age, mastering science, mathematics, architecture and literature. The religion of Chengkaism began to be further emphasised in this period, as the dynasty began to show the values of morality, discipline and responsibility. These core principles soon became the greatest factor to this day in Zhonghan's history. With this, the dynasty's population began to explode by quadruple, becoming the most populated kingdom in the world at the time. 
==== The Great Warlord Spilt (1202 AD - 1453 AD) ====
As the Wei Dynasty enjoyed peace, the news was immediately spread like wildfire as the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Peng, was assassinated by 1202 AD. By then, every warlord state took this opportunity and split with the dynasty, creating the messy 34 different warlord states. The reason this happened is most likely from the temptations or deep hostile relations during the peace period, despite having the influence of peace and moralism. Here, there'll be a lot of backstabbing, alliances, hostilities and various other chaotic factors under 20 years straight. With that being said, it comes down to only 2 dynasties left after all of the hardships. That is the Zhou Dynasty, who hated the idea of peace, while the opposite, the Huang Dynasty, who wanted to restore peace. After a hard and brutal fight, the Zhou Dynasty gained victory, being able to destroy the Huang Dynasty.
=== Imperial Dynastic Age (1453 - 1582 AD) ===
==== Eyes of Imperialism (1453 AD - 1473 AD) ====
After successfully ruling the land of the dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty began to prohibit the idea of Chengkaism and the idea of peace. With this, the dynasty began to arm up her warriors and men, beginning to plan to brutally expand eastwards by 1468 AD. The conquest was brutal as the dynasty raided and pillaged lots and lots of native tribes all across the east until they reached the other side by 1473 AD, also assimilating all across the east to stabilise the zone. This era was iconic due to the famous quote of: "the best warriors are the ones who feel the sorrows of death." by General Qing Huayi. The dynasty uses these new resources to exploit lots of resources for money and to profit off them, mostly enslaved the tribes onto working on the extraction of ores and various other items, while the Siaonise were treated like "royalty", which the dynasty made Huadao into a trading hub from all over the world.
==== The Huadao Crisis (1571 AD - 1582 AD) ====
The Zhou Dynasty is very well known for their rich raw materials, making them one of the richest kingdoms in the Osho continent. Naturally, foreign powers were interested in owning some part of the dynasty for their own gain and profit, specifically the Minachian Empire. Minachia then sent its expedition army to the port city of Huadao, the people welcomed in open arms however they started to siege the city itself, by firing their cannons from their warship and storming the city and taking its valuables from the trading. After the emperor found out about this, he began to call for a counterattack to take back Huadao but failed to do so. This makes the emperor and its royal advisors very unpopular to the general populace, humiliating them for their poor performance to kick off a foreign power. As the government weakened because of the defeat to retake Huadao, Minachia began to pour in more armies and capture Tongjian, Tianbei and various other important strategic cities in the Zhou Dynasty at its west coast, although the military tried to repel Minachia, they were unable to outmatch by their sheer firepower. With Minachia cutting off half of Zhou's supply chain, their military equipment has been shortened, making them weaker but the people's patriotism is strong as ever. In 1582 AD, both parties started to make a treaty at Huadao, which also made the Zhou Dynasty surrender to Minachia, forcing the dynasty to cede all the west coast of Zhou. This announcement wasn't very pleasant to the public opinion, which caused the dynasty to break into a civil war.
=== Age of Colonialism (1582 AD - 1926 AD) ===
==== Province of New Illyria (1582 AD - 1593 AD) ====
After the devastating defeat from Minachia, the now New Illyria becomes assimilated into Minachian Apostolicism, which is the construction of churches and beginning of influence to education and especially the rich silk in the dynasty. Minachia also began to implement the language of Latin to only the upper class of the social hierarchy, with the specialized elite schools made for the purpose of spreading the Latin sphere. Siaonise people also suffered from the restricted rights and freedom in the aspects of politics, literature and culture to suppress the idea of opposition against Minachia. Those who really oppose them were met with extensive torture and brutal death against the Minachian military. However, on the other side, the remainder of the Zhou Dynasty began to fall apart into civil war by 1583 AD because of the devastating defeat. With the dynasty falling apart, New Illyria began to intervene into the civil war, causing panic. But each of the warlord states formed a coalition to take down the alien invader. But despite their best, they fell one by one and fully annexed them by 1593 AD.
==== Vicariate of Serica (1593 AD - 1926 AD) ====
After the fall of the warlord states, Minachia successfully took full control of the dynasty, beginning to exploit all of the resources. Same as the previous predecessor, they were in the process of assimilation. With education, literature, culture and society was immediately being removed to further assimilate the people. Here, the Siaonise people are about to be met with oppression and hate against Minachia. 
==== The Xuan Disruption (1676 AD - 1679 AD) ====
In 200 years of Minachia's Imperialism, many things have happened. With the constitution introduced to brand new systems and laws to the colony, as an example, the justice system. A law student, Xuan Liaoming, began to point out the flaws of the justice system itself, saying that it's outright unfair and unreasonable for it to be practical for all people of Siaonise. Xuan along with his 25 other followers began to protest against Minachia's justice system, which soon rallied up to thousands of people who also rallied with Xuan about it. Minachia's response to the situation by arresting hundreds of people, now hunting for Xuan himself, which now he fled to somewhere safe. Minachia then arrested all of Xuan's family, threatening him to surrender or his family to be executed which stunned him. Soon, he surrendered himself to the government, which Minachia arrested him immediately. In 1679, he was then publicly hanged at the city of Shangkang, which saddened everyone from the news. He was then praised by the Siaonise people, with his bravery and his intellect to fight for the people's justice.
==== The Siangzhou Domino (1821 AD - 1823 AD) ====
With the following Industrial Revolution in Minachia, the colony of Huadao also began to dramatically change. This meant more and more workers were needed and people now usually woke up early to work in a factory. However, a few factories from Siangzhou grew tired from their poor quality work, demanding the corporates to improve it. They launched a strike in protest of the poor sanitation and hygiene of the factory. A nearby army heard about the commotion and began to intervene. The protesters and the soldiers grew tense but it escalated when a soldier started to shoot 2 protestors and hurt 5 more people. Other soldiers followed in, skyrocketing the casualties to 43 people, with 87 injured or badly wounded. When the massacre happens, it's not long that people outside the city know about it, this soon creates a domino effect and people also start to protest to arrest the soldiers who shot the protesters down and give justice to the protesters for their criticism. But then, more and more people got arrested, some even got executed. Xi Hanjiao, a worker of the processed food factory, started a raid on the Huanan Prison that is mostly filled with protesters. He, along with his other comrades, smuggled a TNT and tore down the prison wall, shouting: "For justice!" before the TNT exploded. Thousands of prisoners escaped from the prison while the police were hunting down Xi, who was running away from the scene. Fortunately, he escaped from the authorities and fled somewhere, some said he fled to other countries or died from an accident. Then, the protesting started to die down as the people gave up on it. But Minachia did reformed about the problems after it started to die down in the factory to keep the workers satisfied but it still leaves the people to have a bitter relationship with Minachia.
==== The Siaonise Independence War (1922 AD - 1926 AD) ====
As Minachia started to lose its colonies, the Siaonise people also began to learn the principles of independence and the idea behind it. A classic modern philosopher, Ming Quanbao, published a book, The People Has Spoken, which talks about the endless possibilities of being a free nation, how much it can prosper and how much it can affect everyone. So, by 1922, people began to peacefully protest for independence, demanding the constitution to be thrown out and replaced with native representatives to rule them. Minachia, despite their internal problems at their core territory, still refuses to let go of their colony, because of the rich resources and the labour work. The peaceful protests then crumbled into chaos when the police volleyed down the protesters, resulting in hundreds of people dead. In response, they formed a group called The Dragon Legionnaires to retaliate against the Minachian administration. That being said, they started to make makeshift weapons like axes and even started to make their own compound in a dense jungle.
With grace upon god, Konzask, a monarchist state that has been thriving over the course of time has come to financially and politically aid the legion. They directly contacted one of the founding fathers of the legionnaires, Xiang Yuanking, for the aid. They sent medicines, ration, guns and men to the legionnaires, Xiang described this as a "miracle from the god itself" as such a thing wouldn't happen. In collaboration with the Konzask's Expedition Army, they began to build radio towers and distribute portable radios to the Siaonise people to call upon them to arm up against the tyrant regime. Both the legionnaires and the expedition army have successfully controlled the majority part of the western part of the colony and some parts at the east. The Huadao Capitol Raid, which raided the government hall and held them hostage to force the Minachian government to forcefully make them accept their independence however the Minachian government refuses to recognize its credibility until the year 1956, where monarchism in Minachia fell, replaced with a federal republic government.
In early 1926, the founder of the legionnaire, Huang Xiaojing, visited Huadao Great Square, with the speech title, The Independent, The Central State, Zhonghan. Which expresses the rights and various other important political aspects of a free and thriving nation. As well as listings of people who have sacrificed themselves for the nation, praising them. He ended the speech with a farewell to the Minachian administration and also officially wrote Zhonghan's Independence which is a paper that officially described that Zhonghan will be the new state and various articles on the emphasis on freedom of speech, expression and thought. Even though the speeches and the independence paper were written, Minachia still refuses to acknowledge such a thing at that time. The people at the mainland cheered in celebration, celebrating the independence with the white flag with a red splatter on their houses to symbolise the independent transition. As Huang finished his speech, he was met by people praising him and leading him to the government hall at Huadao to give his inauguration as the first president of Zhonghan.
=== Age of Dominion (1927 AD - 1945 AD) ===
==== Arrival of the Fatherland Front & Konzaskfication ====
As Zhonghan gained independence, they suddenly fell into the dilemma, surrounded by a colonial power from the north and the Trekan-backed Sonyong from the south. By then, the president of Zhonghan signed up to join with the Konzaskan Empire and now became part of the dominion. Like Minachia, Konzask began to rapidly influence the Zhonghan territory, additionally with the discovery of oil at Zhonghan, Konzask began to exploit the new found resources. But unlike Minachia, Konzask lets the Zhonghan counterpart to run certain industries and such, as well as began the "Konzaskfication" as the names, streets and language began to be named in Konzaskan, as same as how Minachia has done. However, not all citizens of Zhonghan really support Huang's speech, making them establish The People's Pioneer Club (PPC). The club heavily emphasised on the worrying transition of Zhonghan and its full independence. By 1928, The Fatherland Front (FF), smuggled in thousands of books of communist literature and after finding out the existence of the PPC, both parties then collaborated with each other on one purpose: to topple the current government. The books that were smuggled by the FF were eventually distributed to the PPC, liking the idea of communism and its heavy foundation on labour justice and less "exploitive" alternative to the current government. Both the PPC and the FF then also targeted various factories and rural farms as their point to spread their influence. This idea then really makes both the PPC and the FF sack a good amount of people that are willing to be on their side. However, not all plans really went well accordingly, as the government of Zhonghan and the Konzask soon caught up to what they were up to. Although comrades were arrested here and there, the influence they've had is abnormal and could just be a perfect recipe for disaster for the government.
==== Lorraine War & Communist Uprisings (1941 AD - 1945 AD) ====
Despite the growing leftist gang fights, Zhonghan soon met with a crossfire as Konzask joined the Lorraine War in 1941. Zhonghan was forced to participate in the war because of their dominion status as well as forcing to minimise their military presence at the mainland, which gives the PPC and the FF the big opportunity to further spread their influence to more urban areas, such as Huadao (Tsaringrad), Tianbei (Rybnsikov) and Tongjian (Belkov). The Siaonise Expedition Corps, with more than 75,000 Siaonise men drafted to the war. They are responsible for helping the Konzask's troops to secure various outposts and to give much riskier tasks. With more than 4,900 men lost their lives at the war, the bodies of the dead soldiers were soon carried by Zhonghan's hospital ship, ZHN Guangming (Brightening Lives) and another one, ZHN Ren Sheng Ming (People's Lives). All the bodies rest peacefully at Siangzhou Ceremonial Square, which soon became a popular spot for tourists in the 21st century.
Other than that, in 1943, the PPC, with the collaboration with the FF, wanted to overthrow the current Zhonghan government, declaring it as the "glorious coup" of Zhonghan. This is due to the current condition of the nation, with the recent famine sweeping the entire nation due to most of the stocks being used as rations for war. This made the PPC to form a new government and also rebranded themselves as The Citizen's Security Council. With the ruler being Zhonghan's military officer, Sun Senyong, who was also part of the PPC beforehand. Partisans and troops under the allegiance of the council fight off the federal government's loyalists, the most bloody clash is at a small village of Laohan, with 2,400~ people either dead or missing. The conflicts within Zhonghan forced troops fighting from the Lorraine War to return, only to be laid off from the security council. However, they are given a stimulus package for their participation in the war, giving them basic needs and a decent payment wage post-war. At the same time, the councils made an official statement that Zhonghan was again free from any foreign power in 1945. The statement was then rehearsed at the parliament by the first Secretary General, Sun Senyong and renamed the party's name to The People's Socialist Party.
=== Age of the Red Osho (1945 AD - Present) ===
==== Operation Patient Zero (1945 AD - 1975 AD) ====
With the victory from taking down the dominion the People's Socialist Party began the greatest purge, to target radical parties, gangsterism and crimes within Zhonghan. In response, Sun Senyong established the military and People's Volunteer Forces to combat against the mentioned targets. This operation proved to be successful as Zhonghan had nearly eliminated all of the "ugly heads" within the nation by 1975. This part of Zhonghan's history was proved to be most controversial throughout the world, as there were reports that there was a chance that the operation also had killed innocent populations but to this day, Zhonghan managed to escape from the charges. 
==== The Ubizieten Charades (1973 - 1979 AD) ====
The newly formed nation at the north of Zhonghan, Ubizieten, gained independence in 1973 AD. However, both Zhonghan and Ubizieten already had tensions, as Zhonghan becomes the main nation to take care of the refugee for the Ubizieten to avoid getting killed by the newly formed government, who was in a process of genociding its people, even calling Konzask and Zhonghan, "revisionists. Some political figures also managed to escape to Zhonghan for safety, which Zhonghan welcomed them with open arms, whilst having a neck to neck standoff along the border with their military. But in 1976 AD, Zhonghan declared war on Ubizieten in the name of liberating the nation, which they did tremendously well and fully steamrolled the nation's southern part, forming the now modern day the Democratic Republic of Ubizieten, a communist nation. By 1979 AD, both sides had finally formed peace with the Meikong Accord, which was signed prior to 1977 AD.
==== The Civil Rights Act (1978 AD) ====
By 1978, a division between races started to become a serious social issue in Zhonghan. Before Zhonghan was truly free, Latin and Slavic people here have been permanently here either because of wanting to start a new life or just trying to make a decent gain by working at Zhonghan. The Wutian Gang Clash was about how the Siaonise, the Latins and the Slavics clashed in a giant fight. This resulted with 327 people injured and a single child, who's race is Latin, got brutally beaten just because he's "a threat to society" by the Siaonise people. The people who beat the child were then given a death sentence after finding out about the situation. The current Secretary General in 1978, Wang Shenyang, publicly denounced the clash and declared it to be a sign of division between each race and religion. Wang's lawmakers eventually wrote the civil rights act to prevent this from happening again and further emphasis on hoping for social harmony within the nation. This also makes the education system to be reformed again, introducing social studies for in-depth knowledge on each race and religion.
==== The Great Terror (1982 AD - 1991 AD) ====
By 1982, the police chief of Zhonghan, Shen Henbao, was held hostage by a group of right-wing sympathisers. The nationalists, along with around 192,000 policemen, began to target the government to "embrace the nature of the nationalists". The Zhonghan government soon launched Operation Targeted Solar as a general callsign for the mission to raid the sympathisers down. Policemen who are not on their side begin a firefight with the ones on the nationalist side. Thousands of policemen were dead upon the aftermath of the bloodbath as nearby residents were ced to dispose of the body and began to make a giant clean up around the perimeter of the fighting. The Zhonghan government, in a delay, soon became involved in the situation, declaring an emergency state within Zhonghan and military forces began to make nationwide security checkpoints to hunt down the remaining nationalists. When they found the location of the ones responsible for kidnapping the chief, Zhonghan's special forces soon raided the area, finally arresting them. Unfortunately, the police chief was brutally tortured by the nationalists, with it now buried at his birthplace, Nankang and especially his family, mourning his death. This led Zhonghan to secure their internal security systems and bureaus to avoid another chaos happening. With enforcing the military and the police to protect their national security and even formed a national security agency to counteract this. This eventually made the people upset over the delayed government response from the situation. With the power of removing them, the vote was in favour of replacing the Song's government with the Cheng's government, who has been seen as a likeable representative because of his compassionate personality. With that, the terror ended abruptly in 1991 AD. This was deemed to be the worst part of Zhonghan's history, not only nearly being coup by fascists, but also nearly got the government crippled over the situation.
==== Friendship Reunion (1992 AD) ====
It's been 64 years since the arrival of the Fatherland Front to spread their ideas of communism to the mainland. Until 1992, a Siaonise diplomat, Wong Hanshu, sent a letter to the Konzask's president to cherish their independence since 1944. It is also mentioned the collaboration with the FF and the existence of Konzask's Slavic city names. A week later, the president of Konzask responded with thrill and mentioned their great relationship with Zhonghan, considering that the president would want to celebrate that with a parade and various military joint exercises to assist Zhonghan's military. Thus, Wong immediately announced this to the secretary general, Yuan Haoyong, to announce this to the people, which he did and began preparations for parades and the joint military efforts.
By then, Konzask's armed forces arrived at Huadao as well as their naval fleet. The secretary general and the Konzask's military officers shook their hands and raised their flag at the Zhonghan's Naval yard, while the bands played the anthems. After finishing that up, to celebrate Zhonghan's independence, both the Siaonise Armed Forces and Konzask's both marched to Huadao's Emperor Square as people welcomed and cheered the parade. The local slavic people in Zhonghan were happy at the reunion as their ancestors were once again returned to Zhonghan's soil. Months later, the Konzask's then collaborated with the national army on various exercises and gave the officers some new suggestions on tactics and strategies effectively. This tradition is still ongoing annually and became the main reason why both Zhonghan and Konzask are on very good terms till this day.
==== The Naval Disaster & The Second Great Terror (2021 AD) ====
The 5th General Secretary, Yi Yuanpang, became the first General Secretary to stand up in international politics, siding with Konzask's statement to defend Novavostok's sovereignty in invading Quangsuh. However, the General Secretary was not confident on the night of its navy and quoted: "Will be a war where their father won't go home ever again." Hours before the landing at Quangsuh, the Naval Task Force was immediately decimated by Quangsuh naval defences, due to their malfunction systems, they were unable to do anything. But with greatest surprise, the aircraft carrier barely survived the hail of missiles, coming out to only a giant floating metal boat with flames on her platform to Konzask's nearest naval port. Days after, the General Secretary resigned from office and even disbanded the party, wanting for Zhonghan for a "multi-party" nation. Followed by the election, the 6th General Secretary, Xia Hanyui, got into the position, beginning the process of reconstructing the navy as well as the plan for Zhonghan to strive into space programs. However, it was distracted by extremist groups within Zhonghan, ARMSF, which now described as terrorist organisation. With that, the General Secretary performs a national emergency, cracking down ARMSF forces. However, the military successfully repelled the ARMSF forces all the way to the northern part of Zhonghan and ended in only 8 months. The government managed to get some key leaders of ARMSF to trial, only to be met with a bombing of the supreme court building. Luckily, no one was injured but it was said that they tried to get the key leaders out of jail by force but failed due to technical errors.
==== Space Programs, Zhao's Criticism & Treka's Outrage (2022 AD) ====
After the end of the distraction, Zhonghan began the process of making their own space agency, making the Red March S-86 launch 2 satellites simultaneously by the beginning of 2022. The first rocket, the Red Dawn and the second rocket, the Red Velvet both successfully launched and now the satellites orbit around the globe. Xia Hanyui quote: "Now, the Red Osho oversees the fragile cradle." This achievement made Zhonghan felt like it has made a good amount of progress and will still continue to do anything beyond their limits. However, not all things are good news, as the current Defense Committee of Zhonghan, Zhao Shenwei, accused the government of treating the people harshly and unlawfully against the 2 previous military officers who's responsible for the naval disaster. The people reacted with mixed feelings about the situation. However recently, Zhao, along with other military officers, died in a car crash by an intoxicated driver, who rammed them to the concrete wall. Reports said that they were trying to discuss the proposal for the justice system but it was cut short due to the incident. Many were shocked over this, some even thought that the Zhonghanian government was behind his death but no evidence has been pointed to the government.
The most recent news, Treka has cut trades with not only with Konzask, but the entire Safingrad members in opposing the blockade in Herzoland. Zhonghan responded for an immediate negotiation with Konzask and Treka to settle the issue but til this day, Treka has yet to respond. They also revoked their embassy from Zhonghan a few days later in protest of "supporting Herzoland."
== Government and Politics ==
=== Government ===
Zhonghan is a one party communist state, despite its multi-party functions, it is heavily dominated by leftist ideas. Both the head of state and government is under a single person, that is the General Secretary of Zhonghan, currently titled to Xia Hanyui, the first woman general secretary in Zhonghan's history. 
The parliament seats consists of 289 delegates for the Senatorial House of Committee (Upper house) and 321 seats for the National People's Committee (Lower house) making in total of 610 seats. Every 5 years, every parliament will be democratically elected through direct democracy from the people, the following is a rankings on the government bodies: 
• Senatorial House of Committee: They're the upper house of Zhonghan. They are responsible to vote for national level issues and proposals.
• National People's Committee: The lower house of the parliament. They responsible to manage public projects and can also propose laws if wanted. 
• Regional District Governor: They're responsible to organise their perspective states and rolling out initiatives. They are elected from the local districts and responsible for managing the districts in a larger scale, most common is to discuss the issues within their own districts.
• Local District Representative: They're directly chosen from the people equally and properly through direct democracy. They have the ability to elect their governor via democracy and also responsible for lurking for issues within their own perspective districts.
• Soviet: Made up of various workers or a community, they're responsible to manage to tackle day to day affairs as well as having the ability to elect their own "leader". This leader then can be a candidate for the Local District Representative.
=== Politics ===
Zhonghan is a federal multi-party communist state, very similar to that to Konzask's parliamentary system. The head of state and government is prove to be the most powerful person in Zhonghan, as they are hold the most important things for the purpose of "serving the people". 
Legislative power in Zhonghan divides to federal and state legislatures. The lower house, Nation People's Committee (NPC) consists of 321 seats, whilst the upper house, Senatorial House Committee (SHC) has 289 seats, totalling to 610 seats. Zhonghan has a heavy emphasis on democracy, with every politicians are elected every 5 years through direct democracy, that is, the people chose who will be the most fit to the position. Citizens in the age of 21 or above are allowed to vote for the candidates, however it is not mandatory.
Executive power is led by the General Secretary, who is both the head of state and government. The General Secretary must have majority votes from the general election and must have previous political backgrounds, depending on which ministry the general secretary has been through. The current led political party are the Zhonghan Revolutionary Party (ZRP), who is the same as its predecessor, People's Socialist Cliques of Zhonghan (PSCZ) who ran the nation for 77 years.
Zhonghan also have its own legal system, with the Accountability & Transparency Act 1953 in effect, People's Judiciary Committee is independent to avoid biased opinions once presented with cases. The highest court, National Supreme Court and followed by People's Council are part of the committee as well, tackling one of Zhonghan's important legal issues. However, previous Defense Committee Director, Zhao Yuanfeng, has criticised Zhonghan's legal system and its flaws to the parliament due to it being biased towards military officers and services. After his death, the government promise to "look into it" to reduce concerns and panic. Death penalty is in use for serious and immoral crimes such as terrorism, kidnapping, human trafficking, child abuse etc. Biggest problems in Zhonghan in legal issues are terrorism, though that problem has been reduced significantly ever since the end of the Second Great Terror.
Race also plays a major role in a nation, with majority of Zhonghan's population are identified as Siaonise with 89%, followed by Konzaskan Slavic with 6% and Minachian Latins with 2.5%, the rest can be identified as "others". With almost the whole population are Siaonise, the minority group, especially the Minachian Latins, has been heavily discriminated and look down upon due to the dark history between both sides. Despite with the Civil Rights Act 1978 and Individual Rights 1999, it still has become the biggest problems ever in Zhonghan as in right now.
=== Diplomatic Relations ===
Zhonghan's diplomatic relations is strictly limited to the outside world, but is not entirely isolated either. Zhonghan has greatly maintained its relations to Konzask and to her allies, that is the United Nyle Kingdom (Kemet), South Ubizieten and other Safingrad Pact members. Zhonghan also has played a huge role to Continental Bloc of Oshoan Nations, being one of the founding members to cooperate economically and socially, most notably is to preserve peace in Osho. Zhonghan also have contacts to non communist nations like Greuighaven, Sonyong, Treka and the Mandate but Treka has revoked their embassy in Zhonghan due to Zhonghan's opposition to Treka's naval blockade in Herzoland. 
=== Military Presences ===
Ever since war against Quangsuh broke out, Zhonghan has its naval fleets at the Berinsky Seas. However, the recent naval disaster with hundred ships are brutally destroyed, the naval scattered, losing thousands of lives and with the pride of the fleet, Aircraft Carrier of Zhonghan, Class Sun Senyong. The carrier currently placed at the port at Konzask and successfully being able to be restored and now Zhonghan is in process of reconstructing back its former naval capabilities. Zhonghan also has played a huge role into joint exercises with the Safingrad Pact members, mostly with South Ubizieten.
