Emergent Market-Organized Polity of China

The Emergent Market-Organized Polity of China is an imperial Asian superstate spanning most of earth's Mainland China, Tibet, Taiwan, Vietnam, Korea, Myanmar, Cambodia and Mongolia, with indirect control over subject empires across the Americas and Southeast Asia. The EMPC and its vassal states produce at least 30% of global Raithan economic output, contain over three billion people, and occupy one fifth of the world's landmass. Its primary military alliance, the Asian-American Defensive Alliance, is together considered Raitha's premier political coalition, and is generally capable of producing the majority necessary to settle IPS disputes.

China's history significantly diverges in the late 1000s AD, after a series of economic and scientific reforms by the Xia dynasty, apparently partially inspired by Persia, though the question of whether Raitha's scientific awakening began in Persia or China is politically contested. After a civil war in the 1100s by accelerationist factions, the country was taken over by the Huang Dynasty, a family that has successfully maintained control over China since 1125 and since 1200 has spearheaded China's genetic and industrial revolutions. By 1400 China had finished subjugating most of South and North America, and by 1500 it had directly conquered most of its original neighbors, though it would occasionally lose territories due to Persian-backed or grassroots insurrections.

Outside of China, the EMPC's common (and sometimes considered pejorative) name is the "Huang Empire" or simply China's original name of the "Middle Kingdom".
