History

The name Lao Sangsong comes from the word "Lao" meaning the land. And Sangsong means "Northern Sun". So the people of Lao Sangsongans are "People of the Northern Sun Lands". Lao Sangsong has long been a vast wilderness, often beyond the reach of Ren. However, in 795, a group of Minjian faithful began to spread, the Minjian Faith through the Kiso Valley. This is where the land gained the nickname Lao Sangsong or "Northern Sun Land". The Tian Dynasty set up a trading post called Beidixian around the year 850. When the Tian Dynasty ended around 1000, the Ren intermarried with locals and founded the Empire of Dankestu. The Dankestu was a loose coalition of farming states that shared resources and goods. In 1497, the Dankestu began a period of conquest against surrounding states, these were called the Wars of Expansion. Eventually, the Dankestu conflicted with the Gao Empire in High Fells. However, in 1519, a new clique took control of the Dankestu Empire. This clique was less expansionist and led to a period of self-improvement projects. In 1717, Arrivee arrived in Mizayotte and attempted to coup the Dankestu State, this failed but led to a civil war between various clans. In 1759, the Koma Clan founded the Shogunate of Lao Sansong. In 1873, the Constitution of State created a legislative body called the Council of Daimyos. This came with a series of reforms to the state with the support of Laeral.

A period of mass industrialization occurred between 1890 and 1920. During this period, Lao Sangsong began producing paper and in the mountains, production of coal and other industrial materials. In 1925, after an attempted coup, many factions split off based on clan ties, leading to a period of interal conflict. Afterward, the Abo Clan created a new set of laws, that made open in-fighting between cland illegal with Lao Sangsong. In 1974, emigration became legal and many Sangsongians moved abroad. By 2000, weapons and armament manufacturing became the nations largest industry.

Geography

Lao Sangsong is a mid-sized, though sparse nation. It is home to 15.7 million people. Most of those living in the Kiso River valley, an area of flat plains, eventually flow into the Bay of Honshu, creating a large wetland and the nation's largest city of Fukagawa. Surronding the riverlands, is the Akan Hills, forming a chain of the Kushiro Mountains. The Kushiro Mountains form a series of high peaks, including Mount Fujigi at 3,823 meters. This area is incredibly remote, splitting the country into two parts. Beyond that is the vast Wakanrai Plateau, a large flat area, that often gets large snow accumulations. Finally reaching the border with High Fells in the Grandevo river valley at the port city of Mizayotte.
