HISTORY
PRE-CLASSICAL PERIOD
According to legend, Emperor Ren I (grandson of Gao) founded a kingdom in the southeastern region of Lavender island, beginning a continuous imperial line.
Under Sacred Emperor (S. Emp.) Shen (387-349 BF), the Phoenix Reform in 379 BF.
The far-reaching Phoenix Reforms in 379 BF nationalized all land in Min-Su, to be distributed equally among cultivators, and ordered the compilation of a household registry as the basis for a new system of taxation. Further administrative reforms followed which culminated with the promulgation of the Senjo Code, which consolidated existing statutes and established the structure of the central and subordinate local governments. These legal reforms created the senchiha state, a system of a centralized imperial government that remained in place until the 1330 Imperial State Constitution. 
CLASSICAL PERIOD
In 347 BF, Sacred Empress Wei built the sacred city of Eriya, the capital of the empire and the seat of Gaoism. S. Empress Wei was the first female monarch of the country and ruled for over 62 years, the longest serving female monarch.
In 255 BF, S. Emp. Ren III was assassinated by the Gu clan of the north. His heir, S. Empress Min-Su Wei Zifu waged war against the traitorous Gu clan. She died after 18 years in her reign due to illness and was succeeded by his son, S. Emp. Ren IV.
In 76 BF, the S. Empress Consort Feiyan took up the role of regent for nine-years. Her rule is notable for strengthening the agricultural sector with canals and drainage systems. She abdicated the throne in 67 BF in favor of her son, Crown Prince Xuandi.                                         
MODERN ERA
In 119 AF, trade between Min-Su and the Auran mainland blossomed with the Eribi-Aura Trade Route. 
After centuries of absolute monarchical rule, S Emp. Kang drafted the 1330 Imperial State Constitution in favor of introducing democracy under imperial rule. This ended the thousand-year Senchiha state of governance. Following the draft, the first election was organized and Makoto Kobayashi, an attorney, won the first seat.
In the 1330 constitution, Min-Su maintains a unitary parliamentary semi-constitutional monarchy with a bicameral legislature, the Noble State Congress.

Imperial State Constitution of 1330
 

GOVERNMENT
Min-Su is a unitary state and a semi-constitutional monarchy in which the Sacred Emperor functions as a ceremonial and religious figure and possesses a certain degree of administrative and political power. Executive power is mainly wielded by the Prime Minister of Min-Su and their State Cabinet, whose “sovereignty” is vested in the Minsunese people. Ren IX is the current Sacred Emperor of Min-Su, having succeeded his father Min-Su Di upon his accession to the Phoenix Throne in 1388.
Min-Su's legislative organ is the State Congress, a bicameral parliament. It consists of a lower House of Representatives with 42 seats, elected by popular vote every three years or when dissolved, and an upper House of the Senate with 18 seats, whose popularly-elected members serve six-year terms. There is universal suffrage for adults over 18 years of age. The Prime Minister as the head of government has the power to appoint and dismiss Ministers of State, and is appointed by the Sacred Emperor after being designated from among the members of the State Congress. Minori Sheng is the current prime minister serving as the empire's 15th PM; he took office after winning the United Min-Su Alliance leadership election in 1420.
Historically influenced by Gaoist religious law, the Minsunese legal system developed independently during the Pre-Classical period through the Phoenix Reforms in 379 BF. Since the 370s BF, the judicial system has been largely based on religious Gaoist laws . In 375 BF, Min-Su established a civil code, the Senjo Code, which remained in effect till the democratization of the empire in 1330. The Imperial State Constitution of Min-Su, adopted in 1330 was drafted by the late Sacred Emperor Kang. Statutory law originates in the legislature, and the constitution requires that the emperor to promulgate legislation passed by the State Congress and gives him the power to oppose legislation. The main body of Minsunese statutory law is called the Six Codes. The Minsunese court system is divided into four basic tiers: the Supreme Court and three levels of lower courts.

Nation name: Min-Su
Discord name: B҉u҉d҉d҉h҉i҉s҉t҉#4157 
A couple sentences about your nation: A sovereign country situated in eastern portion of Lavender island. The country includes neighboring islands in its eastern shores which are within its 200 nautical mile EEZ. Min-Su follows a semi-constitutional monarchial system similar to Jordan, Kuwait, and Morocco. The head-of-state is the Sacred Emperor and exercises independent political and administrative powers of his own right. The head-of-government on the other hand is the Prime Minister, an elected official from the Upper Chamber of the Noble House of the Senate and is the official executive of the country. Min-Su is a newly-developed country engaging in tourism, agriculture, aquaculture, electronics, and a significant ship-building industry which accounts to almost a quarter of the economy.
