**Fingxiao**, officially the **Serene Republic of Fingxiao**, is a large country in eastern Tanisea. It is bordered to the north by Camesan, Inamtome, Braltishmen and Soroon; to the west by Central Linxing and Zamfa; to the south by Sua, Yin, Lanxiao and Marama; and to the east by the Straight of Mar, the Gamtis Ocean, the Zuifung Sea, and the Bay of Hin. It is the 4th largest country in the world, being around 137K mi2.

It is the most populous country in Tanisea and the second most populous in the world, with a population of about 4.7 million people. Most of the population lives along the eastern coast of the country. The capital is Tenghai and the official language is Fingxiaese, however several other dialects and languages are spoken throughout the country.

## History

The region that is modern Fingxiao has been inhabited since the Paleolithic era. The earliest known dynastic state, Peng, originated along the upper Changshiang River and Kunang Lake in the modern southern region of the country around the year 2000 BCE. The first major power in the region was the Shui Dynasty, which stretched between the Changshiang and the Naosang Rivers, and it existed until around 750 BCE.

### Imperial Fingxiao

Shortly after the collapse of the Shui and Yong Dynasties, the region was made up of several warring states, all of which were fighting for power in the region. These warring states existed for several centuries until around the year 265 BCE, when the Fingxi warring state began expanding. By the year 200 BCE, the region was mostly united under the Kun Dynasty, as well as the smaller Liaozuishan, Lim Dynasty, Tengguan, Zhongmay, and Sudao-Marma.

Tengguan and the Kun Dynasty were the two major powers in eastern Tanisea until around the year 300 CE. The Kun Dynasty created the Silk Road around the year 100 CE after they gained control of the Yun Xin Dynasty. Both Tengguan and the Kun Dynasty collapsed around the same time by the turn of the 4th century, with Tengguan becoming Guo Da, and the Kun becoming the Mu Dynasty. Land controlled by the Kun Dynasty continued to collapse as the Mu Dynasty shrunk by the 5th century, thus leaving the area controlled by several warring states oncemore.

By the year 450 CE, lands controlled by modern Fingxiao were under the control of several main powers. The Wu Liang Dynasty to the southeast, Su Dynasty to the east, the Shuren Khaganate to the north, and the Gengxin and Linping to the west. Once again, by the mid 6th century, the land was once again under the control of several warring states. The main three were the Jianhong Dynasty, Meng Dynasty, and Phing Xiao Dynasty (sometimes spelled Fing Xiao Dynasty), as well as the minor Yong, Haren and Gengxin.

The collapse of these major dynasties before led to the expansion of the İlkreturk Khagante, which was slowly taking over much of the Poresian steppe by the year 550 CE. To stop the expansion of the İlkreturks, the major Fingxiaese dynasties combined under the Wuying Dynasty, forming the first true Fingxiaese Empire by the 7th century. This halted the expansion of the İlkreturks, and by the 10th century, they had completely collapsed. The first Fingxiaese empire spanned from the Yun Xin Desert to the eastern coast of Tanisea, and from northern Marama in the south to the Tanpon River to the north. From the 9th century to the 13th century, the Fingxiaese empire was under the control of the Zedong Dynasty, however the dynasty began to decline around the 11th century.

### Goroonian invasions

By the late 13th century, the Goroonian Hordes of central Tanisea expanded under the rule of Bugurul Khan, eventually controlling much of the continent. By the 14th century the Goroonians controlled land from eastern Poran and the Middle East all the way to eastern Tanisea. Modern Fingxiao was divided by two major powers after the division of Bugurul's Goroon; the Daratigai Khanate to the west and the Tiyuan Dynasty to the east. The Tiyuan Dynasty controlled land from most of modern Fingxiao with the exception of the Yun Xin Desert, as well as modern Goroon, Camesan, and Inamtome. As with all large ancient empires, Goroonian control over the continent of Poresia quickly collapsed after Bugurul's death.

The Taiyuan Dynasty quickly collapsed by the 15th century. To the south was the Linxian Dynasty, Liaowei to the west, Chinwei, Camesan, and Inamtome to the northeast, Yushan, Xing, Shangqxi, and the Goroon Horde to the northwest, as well as the Baotan, which was part of the Daratigai Khanate to the west. The borders remained relatively the same until the Linxian Dynasty expanded northward by the mid-17th century.

### Fall of the Linxian dynasty to modern day

The turn of the 20th century the monarchy was overthrown and the Republic of Fingxiao was formed, which had similar borders to the modern-day country of Fingxiao. The Republic of Fingxiao experienced internal conflict for much of its short-lived history, especially during and after World War One. Conflicts between Nakaiwaki and Fingxiao began before and during World War Two, further complicating internal struggles by various peoples within the country. The most notable of these revolutionary groups was the People's Republic of Fingxiao, under the rule of Zhao Wuhan, a lithviet who sought to unite the region once more under a lithvietic regime. By the year 1951, Zhao and his lithviet party took control over all of Fingxiao, and the lithviet party remains as the dominant party in the country to this day.

## Etymology

The exact origin of the name Fingxiao is uncertain, but scripts referring to the ancient Fingxi warring state is most likely the earliest refference using the name or something similar. It is more likely the name Fingxiao actually originated and was at least more commonly used after the Phing Xiao Dynasty.

## Administrative divisions

Fingxiao is a unitary state officially divided into 22 provinces. Geographically, all 22 provinces can be grouped into five main regions, West Fingxiao, South Fingxiao, Southeast Fingxiao, East Fingxiao, and North Fingxiao.
