Xinhao

Xinhao, officially The Xinhao Republic (Xi (traditional Script): 新浩共和国; Xi (Standard Script): Xīn hào gònghéguó) is a semi-presidential sovereign state located in southern Asania. It is bordered to the north by Myeon, to the east by the Yi Sea and the island nation of Miyadaka offshore, to the south by Suion and Yinh, and to the west by Uzete. The nation has a land area of LAND AREA and a population of nearly 709,313,465. The nation has it's capital city in the ancient city of Weiking, though the largest city is Xinyuan. Other vital city centers include Shaodong, Yinchang, and Jinzhou.

The earliest records of civilization in Xinhao come from the Hui River Valley in central Xinhao, which saw numerous cities, villages, and farms unite in a common culture. It is unclear if these people were ethnic Xin, or even spoke the ancient Xin language, but there are signs they were, at least somewhat, related due to similar art and architecture styles. The Dynasty of the Nine Emperors rose according to legend in 1400 BCE, and ruled the empire for a thousand years from their palace in Xinyuan, though the existence of these emperors has not been confirmed as fact by scholarly sources. When the last of the Nine Emperors, Yue, was deposed, the Dynasty of the Red Emperors took over in 415 BCE, and ruled from their new capital in Yinchang in the south, beginning the production of silk.

Xinhao is a developing economy that is on the verge of becoming extremely developed. Since peaceful democratic rule was established in 1901, the nation's economy has stabilized and multi-party democracy has flourished. The government has actively sought the inclusion of Xinhao in international organizations such as the Union of Nations and the Asanian Co-Prosperity Organization. The nation originally declared itself a neutral party after the war, but in recent years the government has attempted to reassert the nation's dominance, beginning patrols of the Sea of Silk and the Southern Ocean. The nation maintains close ties with nations such as Suion and Yinh, all democracies once under Xinhao rule. The nation's current President is Xian Li, who is the first female head of state in Asania.
