*There were six countries to the east of China: North Korea, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Even though there were many of them, none of them were especially powerful, and they did not have much strength to resist.*

*The closest country to Great Qin was Indonesia. It had 250 regions and roughly 50 million people. Next was Malaysia with 200 regions and roughly 40 million people, then the Philippines with 350 regions and roughly 80 million people. Further away was Japan with 300 regions and roughly 100 million people, then South Korea with 200 regions and around 40 million people, and then finally North Korea with 150 regions and roughly 30 million people.*

*In total, the six countries had 1,450 regions and around 340 million people. There were also four Nation Armaments from four of the countries:*

*Indonesia: As the primitive society developed and trade and transportation across the South China Sea became more common, the Indonesian people visited more and more islands, bringing their culture with them. It was roughly around 200BC that the country ‘Yavadvipa’ appeared.*

*Yavadvipa was outside the boundary of the Han dynasty province in Vietnam, which was where modern Indonesia was. During 131AD, it sent ambassadors to China to establish friendly relations.*

*Malaysia: Brunei Darussalam was the most prosperous Empire in Malaysia’s history. In the 13th Century, it governed 14 provinces with tens of thousands of people living in the capital. It was a slave-owning society with clear classes, and its economy was primarily focused on agriculture. The residents obtained their salt from boiling seawater and fermented their own wine from millet, living simple lives.*

*In the 14th Century, the central government set up a unified administration for the treasury and tax collection. At the end of the 14th Century, it submitted to the Majapahit Empire, and at the start of the 15th Century, it submitted to the Malacca Sultanate. Soon, it regained independence and became a Sultanate.*

*At the start of the 16th Century, the fifth Sultan, Bolkiah, caused the sultanate to become more powerful. Apart from most of Kalimantan Island, most islands south of the Philippines belonged to Brunei, and this was called their ‘golden era.’*

*At the end of the 16th Century, because of internal strife, the sultanate went into decline, and western colonizers began to invade. In 1888, it became a British protectorate.*

*Philippines: The Barangay alliance was the second wave of Malay people to come to the Philippines through boats, and the area where set up was called Barangay. Barangay was the foundational society of the early Philippines.*

*Each Barangay was made up of 30 to 100 families and differed in numbers, and they were headed by barangay chiefs. The barangay societies were made up of nobles, free citizens, and slaves, and due to the requirements of development and war, various barangays formed alliances, forming a nation with slavery.*
