Shenyang

**Shenyang,** (simplified Chinese: **沈阳**)(Ch-En YAng) is city in southern Manchuria and the **capital of the People's Republic of China.** It is among the most, if not *the most* industrious and prosperous city in the Asia-Pacific region. It holds the **UN headquarters in Asia**, and the office of the entire federal government of the PRC. When the PRC was formed as a town before declaring nationhood, Shenyang was the location of the entire population. As a result, Shenyang is the most populated Chinese city, followed by **Taipei** and **Dalian**.

The city has seen rapid growth due to its industries. The city grew wealthy enough to encompass not one, but two villages. With this newfound wealth, the Shenyang government had the ability to proclaim the PRC with the Shenyang Chancery as its federal core. The entire politburo of the country was also founded here. Wool, iron, wheat, cactus, and diamonds are all in found in abundance, which is the cause and motivation for the expansion of the town.

## History

### Prehistory

Shenyang began as a small town on near the coast of the Yellow Sea. It is closely positioned to the Yungang cave complex and home to a vast variety of wildlife that migrate east and west between. Inner Mongolia (not to be confused with the sovereign state of Mongolia) The village of Shenyang capitalized on this natural advantage, and thus started a town here. Cacti was introduced to the land by travellers from the Gobi Desert, and iron was being mined at a rapid rate. It was at this time that the membership of the country started to inflate, and power centralized into Manchuria. Sheep became a central aspect of life, as their red wools created the Chinese banners that would be spread across the continent on shields, mountains, and town halls.

At some point, the Stone Chancery was established, forming the core of the state. This was also when the Chinese troll face was erected [;)] in the centre of town, and the Northern village was incorporated into the metropolis. Chairman Trollbobb managed to accumulate the wealth to create a nation mere hours after the incorporation of the Northern village, and had enough extra funds to grant Dalian its own place as a large city. It was due to this growth that attracted the attention of foreign emissaries and international organizations.

### Crossing Swords and Internationalism

After the proclamation of the PRC, Shenyang had the reputation and funds to properly make itself a international city. Outsiders, like your dear writer, were marvelled by the growth of the city and attracted its growth. Not all the attention to the city was positive however, and Shenyang is the site of foreign blood spilt into the ground. Citizens of Shenyang had to fend off skirmishes from the Finns, French, Mongols, and most concerningly, the Australasians.

Despite this, Shenyang has garnered the positive attention of nations and organizations alike. Embassy-equivalent structures and statutes are being made in Shenyang with Atlantis and the ALF as of the time this article is being written, and Shenyang citizens are responsible for the trade market in Athens and most notably, the U.N, by popular vote, established the UN headquarters in Asia to be located in Shenyang instead of Jeju Island.

The prospect of war has recently gripped the city, and its citizens has taken cautious defensive measures...

## Landmarks

### Shenyang Chancery

The Shenyang Chancery is the largest building in Shenyang and by extension, possibly the largest building in the PRC. It is a three-storied bricked and walled complex with numerous doors and a fenced perimeter. Its floors are a polished marble. The government is stationed here, and all important legislation drafted goes through this central parliament building. At its gate, a sign with red text can be seen, and it reads: "*People's Republic of China. 中华人民共和国."*

### Le Chine Trollface

Across the street from the Chancery and overlooking the farms, a trollface made of the colours of the Chinese flag stands proudly. Such a masterpiece of art and culture has been allowed into the common areas, for the people of the world (and not just the Chinese) to see.

### China's Bannermen

This enclosure of sheep are purely bred into the colours of the Chinese flag. Any flag or banner that may appear on a shield, embassy, market, UN Chamber or town hall likely originates from this vast flock.

### Bamboo Grove

Bamboo was introduced to Manchuria from a foreign province, and carefully cultivated to work in harmony with the Chinese landscape, The grove now towers high, even surpassing the height of the chancery.

### Yungang Cave Complex

Located to the chilly west of the town square, Yungang Cave Complex was a series of interconnected underground systems that were rich in resources. Don't get any ideas however, all the land is claimed and the resources extracted. It is now a heritage site. The most apparent entrance is by the massive ravine.

### Changchun Old Town

The Northern city geographically placed in real-world Changchun.(simplified Chinese: 长春) (ch-ANG ch-oon) Currently it has yet to be expanded, although potential is still high. The town is currently deserted, providing cultural importance instead.
