 Kingdom Of wu
Theme Song

So below is what we have nicknamed a Kingdom sheet. Now there are two versions a public version and a private version, the public one will be viewed by anyone as the private one will be for members of said kingdoms that they are part of. Besides nonaligned offices who won’t have one down to the fact that they do not have a kingdom. This sheet will also show the kingdoms in more detail. such as the Succession Laws. Now the laws might be different for each kingdom so just because Wu is Absolute Cognatic don’t think that all kingdoms would be using that  law. The laws are based on what kind of Government the said kingdom is using.

About.
Wu (呉), also known as Sun Wu (孫呉) or Eastern Wu (東吳), is one of the four influential kingdoms in Dynasty Warriors. The country is symbolized by the color red as well as a tiger (especially with the Sun family's motif) The kingdom's territory was originally ruled by different governors in the south. They were conquered by the smaller Sun family. Thanks to the influence of the Four Families of Wu, the Sun family was able to establish their rule. Sun Jian has also decided to take a step back from leading Wu and so has left the running of the kingdom in the hands of his children Sun Quan, Sun Ce, Sun Ren

Government:
Administrative Monarchy

Wu has chosen to adopt an Administrative Monarchy. Now that might sound like is all about nobles debating what happens within the Wu kingdom. That is not true, an Administrative Monarchy simply means A government where the state is governed as a monarchy relying to a great extent on a strict organization of political matters and bureaucracy. Meaning that the royal family hold the final say in all matters of foreign and domestic affairs, however, they do allow members of the kingdom to express their input on what cause of actions the royals should take. But at the end of it all, it is the royal family that decide the policies with the input of nobles and kingdom officers.

Succession laws
Absolute Cognatic

 Succession laws are what governs who becomes the new ruler of a realm upon the death of the previous incumbent. If a ruler holds multiple titles, the succession laws of the highest ranked realm apply. If a ruler of, for example, king rank has multiple kingdom titles, the succession laws of each kingdom will apply for that kingdom.

Wu has always had only one secession law and that is Absolute Cognatic. That means that women can inherit on the same grounds as a man can. So for example Quan is the current King, and if he was to die then Ce and Ren would both be in a position to become King or queen.  if Quan and Ce both died or Ce decided he did not want to rule then Ren would become queen automatically being the only heir left in the line of Succession. This also allows kingdom ranks to be given to women. So women can become governors the same as men can be.

Government Succession laws

Under the Kingdom of Wu, Quan has also taken land holding out of the hands of the Nobility to an extent with the establishment of Viceroyalties. Titles and governing of lands of lower rank than the highest Kingdom title can be handed to Viceroys where upon a Viceroy's death or revocation; the rights to that land go back to their liege instead of to an heir of the Viceroy. Establishment of Nobility is still possible and succession will follow the Kingdom's succession rules at that point.

 Economic system

The economic system of Wu established under Quan's regime is in two parts. In order to stimulate rapid growth in Jian Ye to catch up to the well founded cities in Northern China; it has been made into a free trade city. The government is taking a hands off approach by getting rid of mercantile permits and lowering tariffs upon imports and exports as it takes advantage of trade flowing along the Yangtze. Following this is the economic system outside of Jian Ye.

Instead of rural town and villages submitting their crop to their lords and the lord going ahead and stock piling and selling excess to pay the villagers. State officials are given the duty to buy and sell resources produced at such places to help promote establishment of a trading post in the rural areas. With the establishment of a trading post the people of the settlement will then move goods on their own as well. Through that system the state officials collect taxes and tariffs upon goods moving between settlements and/or into a city.

The Civil Structure

The civil structure of Wu is also similar in a respect to the economic situation. Where unlike some parts of China, freedom of religion is practiced. Whether it be Confucian, Taoist, Buddhist, or another practice. Practitioners are free to do what they will so long as it doesn't put a burden on the populace. There is no state religion to adhere to. Next is freedom in opportunity. Although not elected, but appointed; State officials can hold more power than a Noble. So class system distinction below nobility and royalty is non existent.

And if anyone tries to make it so, they will be met with severe disdain from both the government and the people of Wu. This structure has both it's pros and cons as it makes it harder for the government to control the populace. But in the end Wu holds civil, and economic freedom in high regard. But political freedom is still very low as these policies are dictated by the Monarch and his officers. And different regimes can affect those policies if given the chance.
