This Academy is known by many names throughout history, from Yamataikoku-Guozijian to Yin-Yang Academy that we know as of today. This Academy is one of the most oldest schools in Japan (even exceeding the *Ashikaga Gakkō,* Japan's oldest institution founded sometime around 839 or 842) dating its creation in the mid to late 8th century. Today Yin-Yang Academy stands as a diplomat effort of the Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese to stabilize relationship after many disputes and heated tensions in the past.

## History

During the Taika Reform (7th century), the Japanese were eager to allow the Chinese officials to teach them the ways of centralizing its government and be inspired by their culture.

The first school and the ancestor of Yin-Yang Academy was *Yamataikoku-Guozijian* (*loosely translates to:* Yamato's Imperial College), a national central institution of higher learning in Kyoto, which resembled the Guozijian from Chang'an, the Capital of China during that time, which coincidentally the capital of Kyoto was planned accordingly to Feng Shui elements from the Chinese capital of Chang'an.

Tensions rise, tensions fall, after centuries of fighting, which caused the *Yamataikoku-Guozijian* (renamed to Yamato-Shuyuan) to be shut down multiple times (6 times to be exact) during its time as a Learning Institution, but in the 1970s to 1980s the "Golden Age of Relationship" started to bloom interests on the Sino-Japanese relationship. During this period, both country seek reconciliation in which on the year of 1972, September 29th the *Yamato-Shuyuan* (Which was closed for decades) was destroyed and rebuilt on top of a Sino-Japanese made School-Carrier called the Yamataikoku, while the school was named to be the Han-NaWa Academy, this was an effort to the Chinese Government to rekindled the old relation between them and the Japanese as *Yamataikoku-Guozijian* was an image of their old relationship that they sought to start it again.

It took almost 8 years for the School-Carrier to be completed as it was delayed, due to another yet again tension between with the PRC and Japan but the ROC was mixed in as well in the Senkaku Islands Dispute in April 1978.

But finally on the exact date of October 23 of 1978, with the formal peace treaty between the PRC and Japan signed just 1 month before, the ship of Yamataikoku was commissioned. At the start it was only Chinese and Japanese inhabitants, but after 10 years since it was commissioned, under the 22 points regulation, the PRC finally accepted the Taiwanese to join Han-NaWa Academy as the ship made its dock in the port of Kaohsiung.

Han-NaWa was renamed again, turning it into the Yin-Yang Academy as the former name doesn't depict the ROC's relationship of the school, during this renaming process, the School-Carrier was improved and renamed into Yamatai, though its appearance is still somewhat reminiscence to the PRC's Type 001 Aircraft Carrier, Lioning.

Even though the Chinese and Taiwanese tried to live in harmony, the hostility between them are still apparent, and even accidents between Chinese and Japanese still happens to this day, this amount of friction caused the School's Recrelympic Team to set up two factions, mainly the Seiryu's team and the Suzaku's team, the Taiwanese/Blues and Chinese/Reds respectively while the Japanese became an observant and occasionally joins one of the two or even became the Antagonist to the two of them in some occasions.

## School-Carrier

Yin-Yang Academy's School-Carrier is based on the PRC's first Aircraft Carrier, the *CNS/PLANS* (Chinese Navy Ship/People's Liberation Army Navy Ship) Type 001, Liaoning. The name of the School-Carrier is the "Yamatai", formerly known as "Yamataikoku".

## Panzerkraft

Yin-Yang's Sensha-do team or YY's United Sensha-do Front is divided by two major teams, the Seiryu's (Azure Dragon) 200th division, and the Suzaku's (Vermilion Bird) New 200th Division.
