History
-Establishment 181
Population: 124,000
Currency: Si Chu Wu Zhu Coin

Wei (181 - ), also commonly known as Zhou Wei , Sang Wei and very rarely as Cao Wei is one of the five major kingdoms(Wei,Wu,Shu,Jin,Han) that occupies land in China during the last waning years of the Han dynasty. As the Han dynasty comes to a close, Wei plans on uniting the lands through peaceful means as Zhou Sun wishes to make a permanent alliance between the Kingdoms in hoping to keep peace in the lands, make the people and it's land prosperous and return our connection to the heavens once more.

The kingdom was established by Cao Cao in 181 as a puppet kingdom under the Han dynasty, based upon the foundations laid by Cao Cao after he was beginning to grow in power in the Dunqiu County. Through being the Consular of the Dunqiu County and using his power to build a great cavalry force for a great battle Cao Cao had been planing for quite a time, Zhou Sun and her family using tactics not foreseen by anyone,especially Cao Cao , seized the throne completely from Cao Cao by showing proof of her origins of the legendary Shang and Zou Dynasties along with the blessing of the heavens showed she was the most worthy to rule from the throne. Emperor Ling saw this and immediately made her ruler of all Cao Cao's land with the Emperor even considering her to be her empress due to her ancient blood line.

Society and culture:

Social class- Like every Kingdom that has came before Wei, There lay's a social system and while it operates slimier to the systems in place in the past, There truly is no social system as anyone can move up or down in the social system as a Peasent becoming wealthy and becoming a noble or a noble who losy all there power. The Social System is simply tittles and shows where people are in. Noble is a person who simply has a large amount of wealth and land. Titles can even bought to advance in the social system although this needs to be approved directly by the Queen herself to prevent Corruption and in limited numbers.

This will show the class system from highest to lowest

Huángshì xuètong/Royal Blood - The Ruler and the royal family who are directly and Immediately related to the ruler

Dàojiào/ Taoism- A unique class, Since Wei is a highly spiritual kingdom is entirely comprised of people who have become monk's or Priestess of Taoism and are highly respected as they are the servants of the of the Heavens, even members of the High Noble Blood must show respect as it mandatory by all and is considered a holy field to join. These people hold no political power in the traditional sense.

Gao gaoguì xuètong/High Noble Blood - The Most powerful nobles with the most wealth and power who are second only to the ruler themselves, members who are distantly related to the Royal Family may be placed here.

Gaoguì xuètong/Noble Blood - Are the standard nobles in most kingdoms and are plentiful who hold land and power in the name of the kingdom

Qishi- Where the most elite and professional troops are placed in this class. This class best described as Knights in the feudal system.

Wei háomén/Pseudo Noble - Children of nobles or peasants or merchants that have gained enough wealth or land to become a noble but hold no power. Is it heavily frowned apon for Children to possess there own wealth or land as they are encouraged to make there own way in life.

Zhèngfu guanfang/Government Offical - People who haven been positions within the government. This class can be skipped easily

Junshì/Military - Where regular soldiers belong and respect is demanded from all classes as they put there life's on the line for the kingdom

Shangrén Gongjiàng - The merchant, artisan and engineering class

Mínbing nóngmín/militia peasant - Class of peasant where peasant's are given important duties such as emergency messenger, in the city guard by self enlistment or running militia's

Nóngfu /Peasamt - Self explanatory

Púrén - Slaves, although Slavery is heavily frowned apon by the Queen, it is legal however slaves can be owned on the condition that they must have proper,moderate facilities,have access to a real daily meal and baths as well as being properly dressed.. Breaking this law results in death with all land and wealth given to the slaves.

Marriage,gender,and kinship-

As with the Han Dynasty, Families were often the nucluer family, two parents and two or three children, Marriage in Wei is Monogamous with Divorce almost entirely illegal although there is exceptions such as a house wife aboused,raped or beaten but these cases are rare. Polyamory is illegal as the Heavens had deemed a man will have all but one wife. Breaking this law results in death. While Arranged marriaage is not illegall It is heavily frowned opon by the Queen. Arranged marriage is only legal if the daughter or son agrees to it.

Men and Woman are equals in Wei with all the same rights and privilages of there class.


Education,literature,and philosophy-

Eduction is a public serivce that is funded by the state through taxes. Children are required by law to attend an educational facility where they are trained in writing,math and basic history for three years then they may transfer to specified facilities to learn important technical skills such as farming, military, government or engineering.

Wei is known for it's rich literature in history and philosophy about war and evolution of man. There is a small cult that contiunes to quickly grow as drama stories keeps becoming more popular.

Wei's philosohy is quite different from Wei,Wu and Jin as they see no point in war and spilling blood for there concept of obtainting peace. As a very spiritual place, Wei wishes for harmony between all kingdoms to bring peace and properity to the people. They seek not to be war mongrols out for power or wealth, just simple peace in it's true form

Law and order-

Cities are constantly patrolled by profession and quality guardsmen to keep the city and nearby roads safe from bandits and rapists. The Guard is it's own organization and is responabile for all safety operations. Guards with suspicious reason and cause can strip a suspect or search there house for evidence. Guardmen of high rank could call opon peasants to help them perform a service in emergency circumstances.

If the law was broken, they would be taken to court to be judged by there actions. Rape,murder, molestation and cheating would have the person executed otherwise they would be brough infront of a judge with six councilors to help judge. Women and Men hold the same rights in court.

Food-

Meat is plentiful in Wei as Wei controls huge cow, pig and chicken farms for quick production of animals and food.

After they are butchered the meat is hanged and cleaned of any bacteria or any other surprises left behind. Often Geese and Duck were commodity's and used for deserts or master crafted meals. Wei is also very notorious for it's many vineyards cared for by monk's who produces the Yantai Wine who's became famous for it's white sweet flavor with sweet cherries.

Clothing-



There is no set fashion of clothes for women as they experiment on old classic's to trying new Hanfu designs althogh one design aspect that is kept is a long skirt to keep the body and legs completely hidden. Most dresses are made out of silks and are carefully crafted. Most women can afford to have one or two dresses but nobles may have dozens of different designs and colors.

Religion-

Due to Zhou Sun's past, it has completely influenced Wei as a whole and brought the entire kingdom under Taosim completely within a short period of time. The People of Wei are the most spiritual people in the land with many small temples scattered throughout the cities and shrines and gardens to the Tiān gōng báilián jiào. Zhou Tai, the Wei people and it's monk's and priestesses follow the emphasis on living in perfect harmony and follow the current of the universe which results in enlightenment and peace throughout the land.

Wei does not believe violence is the answer and war is pointless as it is started and ended by power hungry war mongrols who care more of there power and wealth then the blance of the heavens and the stability of peace. One characteristic that every true Wei citizen is the ability to tap into the current of the universe and bring out there chi through meditation and balance.

Though most cannot physically or mentally use there Chi on a daily basis, those that train there mind and bodies through years of training can tap into there chi on a daily basis and use it passivily such as the Tiān gōng báilián jiào using it there Chi healing powers to heal the wounded and sick or soldiers that have gone through the most intense training possible can temperory arugument there bodies to give them an edge in combat.As the People undoubtly believed she was brought down by the heavens to aid them, Zhou Sun founded an order to bring her people closer to the Heavens



Tiān gōng báilián jiào/ Order of the Heavens White Lotus is an all female Taoism semi-enclosed religious order founded in 183 by Zhou Sun to bring to bring her people closer to the Heavens by having her Priestesses enlighten, teach Taoism as well as performing other religious duties such as blessing marriage, leading mass and preyers as well as bless the dead durial burials. The Order is sem-enclosed as half of the order keeps a strict seperation from the outside word with there only duties to the outside world is enlightening and teaching those of Zhou Sun's Taoism.

The Priestesses of the order takelife long vows they can never break of chasity and obedience. They are not allowed to marry(Must be a virgin) and must follow all the laws of the Order and Taoism itself. The other half of the Order are more social and helping to Wei as they act as scholers, councilors, Teachers, Healers and caretakers as well a the extremely skilled Tiān gōng gōngjiàn shǒu/ Heavenly Archers, an elite all volunteer Priestesses Archer unit that acts as sharp shooter support and healing.

Priestess wear completely enclosed modest special dresses, especially enclosed members. There are two unforms, the Enclosed outfit which is the standard outfit for the order then there's the loose outfit,a more pratical outfit for working in dirty enviroments or the battlefield. The Color red signifys there vow to chasity and white shows the vows of purity and devotion to the heavens.

Economy

Wei uses the Han Si Chu Wu Zhu Coin that just recently started production, This coins are simlar to the older Han Coins but are made entirely ouf of bronze and are stronger and no longer bend as easy.

Wei's economy is based off it's exports as Wei itself is independent and does not need to import important things such as food,clean water,silk etc.

Agriculture as usual was extremely important as one could not have a kingdom if one could feed there people. Crops such as grain and corn could easily be used to feed the people and simple fibers could be used in emergencies to for clothes and blankets to warm them. Obivously farming is so important, taxes were only at 2.5% for the poor farmers where the properious farmers at 5%. This is used to lure people to do farming and produce more farmer. There is such a demand that Wei has mined out huge area's underground to grow food. Old mines are converted into under ground farms, not the most enjoyious life but the taxes for farmers that farm underground is only 1%. Although land technnically isn't taken by nobles, they must pay 10% of there harvest to the noble or by payment of coin. Farmer send 40% of there harvest to sell and keep the other 50% to feed there families. Farmer employed directly by a government also recieves a monthly salaries


While Merchants were higher ranked then farmers, The cast was HEAVILY frowned by the Queen to sell there products extremely high just for self interests. As a result of this Merchants were not respected well in court.
Due to the Loom and other tools, Silk is easily able to be harvested and produced extremely quickly which would later be used for clothes and furniture. This has also allowed for Wei to grow quickly from the Silk Road with trading with Rome which in returned gave furs,glass and muslin to Wei. Wei also nationalized salt,iron,steel and clay industries to restrict merchants profits. Peasents employed by merchants could leave at ay time and go back to whatever they were doing before working for the merchant without punishment. Because of this merchants often became wealthy even with modest prices so there tax rate was put at 25% of there profits.

Soldiers,sailors and Officers did not have to pay taxes while active in the military as they are owned by the military and are essentially property of the governement
. They are clothed,fed,groomed,bathed and are given housing for free as well as free medical and traveling expenses.

Nobles and government that owned land in the kingdom must pay 35% for there tax rate from there profits from there lands and there duties from court as they even amass even more wealth then merchants.

For exportation, Wei is known for exporting hand master crafted silk clothes and furniture to other kingdoms and indepent cities as well as monk created wine and beer. Wei made the most wealth however being one of the few places within the entire country to have fine places for pastures for horses which generated the best war horses win the entire country. These warhorses were sold to the Han Military at alarming rates. Recently Wei has started production of new,stronger steel plated armor for exportation and been a success as more smithies are opened which has also started the mass production and exportation of the extremely rare and powerful Kai Ma Dao blade

property-

Men and women have equal rights in properties, women can own properties in her own right and is allowed to do what she wishes with it.If a couple divorces, the woman would keep the house and the belongings within. When a property was owned by someone, they owned it for life and passed it on the family. The properity under normal circumstances could not be siezed by the government for any reason unless the city was being invaded then there properity could be used as a mobile barracks.

Science, technology, and engineering

Wei shows an advanced knowledge for smithing as the smiths have learned how to smelt steel into shaps or curving blades as well as creating reinforced small steel plates to be attached on armor for better protection. Wei also knows how to make Steel breast plates, gaunlets and greaves but this is extremely expensive and difficult to produce.

Through years of experimenting of trial and error, Wei has learned the ways of gears and mechanics after building the Tiger Tank MK 1, a Urban combat vehicle powered and manned by six men that is powered by pedals that that move gears by metal lines that move the vehicle. After much time had passed, a new model came out, far more powerful and armored and immune to fire. The Older models were made into vehicles for peasants. Currently a Mk III is in development that will be powered by a horse.

ships, and vehicle-

Wei made extensive use of heavily modified Junk Shipsm specifically three classes, The Qūzhújiàn(Destroyer), the Xúnyángjiàn(Cruiser) and the Zhǔlì jiàn(battleship).

The Qūzhújiàn(Destroyer) - were smmal and nibble ships, able to outperform other ships in terms of speed and agility but had little armor, made to esort ships in numbers and hunt down patrol boats. Was equiped with two flamethrowers

The Xúnyángjiàn(Cruiser) - well rounded ships designed for direct combat, were fast enough to keep up with fleets but were as agile.Cruisers were equiped with steel plates under the wooden frame to give it more protection as well as a iron battering ram at the front of the ship that could damage a ship enough to crack it in half. The Cruiser was equiped with four flame throwers and two mirros large enough to cause a fire on a ship from reflections from the sun at a range

The Zhǔlì jiàn(battleship) - A huge ship designed to take on many ships at once for long periods of time, although slow it could take alot of damage and dish it back out. The ship had an entire metal fram over the wodden frame to give it protection from ramming, had an iron battering ram on the front, spikes on the sides, six flamesthrowers on the sides and two mirros to angle the sun's rays at other ships. unlike the two two ships, the Zhu had high walls to prevent the enemy from boarding,


Vehicles

Leapord - remodel of Tiger I urban combat vehicles for peasants, fits four people and offers great protection when traveling.

Tiger Series urban combat vechicles - highly advanced wagons with incrediable armor and flamethrowers
