## History of the Chong

### Ancient Chong

Ancient Chong was formed with the Seven Mediterranean States in circa 3200 BCE.

Ancient Chong developed irrigation and had a large population of over 10 million. It was heavily involved in trade, and there is evidence of bronze and silver coins on the Mediterranean from this time period.

Weakened government and crop failure caused the 60 Years War (2800 - 2740 BCE) and led to the Te Uprising of 2700 and an overthrow of the Ancient Chong government, coming under the rule of the Te Peoples Union (CPU). Chong was annexed by the TPU and subsequently merged with Guo, forming the Teguo Union (TGU).

The newly formed TGU instituted a monarchy to solidified its political power, and hence created the Teguo Dynasty (TGD).The former Chong Emperor was still allowed to have a governmental role, but was subservient to the Te throne.

Due to its coastal location and smaller fertile area, the TGD was the first to develop sailing and surpassed other states by inhabiting Main Continent and building infrastructure. The Te Dynasty attempted to suppress indigenous populations in the Haizhong Mountains and Hainan Island, but guerrilla resistance and hardy crops rendered colonization impractical at the time.

From 1800-600 BCE, Te and Xi was invaded by the Gan Empire. The Gan Empire split into the North and South and eventually ran into a succession crisis, causing warlords to take over. Hence, the Three Kingdoms period of Chong started.

The Kingdom of Songxi and the Kingdom of Ganpo merged into the Personal Union of Ganpo Singxi (PUGS).
