The update is up, but, in a great sad, I am going to put this game on hiatus for a week, and then decide if I am gonna call it off or not. Stuff isn't too peachy at the moment and I feel hella guilty dragging people into a game I have a specific vision for.

1. Gansu Province
2. The Bogd Khanate of Mongolia
3. Tibet
What are Minzu, Minquan, or Minshen? Whilst the Three Principles of the People is blatantly obvious in meaning to any who might have read it, in the fire of the May 4th movement, Gansu has recently become an exception as a flurry of questions and arguments have made incoherent any attempt at clearly understanding any of the philosophy to enter the province.
At the heart of this transformation is an eccentric young man who demands all know him as Hui Shi, as in the Huizi who so often argued with the daoist Zhuangzi. Captivated by the writings of the School of Names and Forms, and by the sophists of Greek tradition introduced to him through studies abroad, Hui Shi developed a firey taste for rhetoric and paradox, and a reputation for maddening sophistry. It is thus unthinkable then that through many public debates and speeches, he roused the people of Lanzhou to rebellion not merely against the city's government, but against every tradition Hui Shi could possibly attack in the name of Universal Critique. Gansu fell soon after, and a long dead school of philosophy was reborn.
Gansu's government in the aftermath has been remodeled into a direct democracy based on the teachings of Deng Xi. At the sacrifice of stability, Gansu has become a place renowned for it's erudite and innovative citizens. Statecraft is volatile here, as ritual has been thrown out the window in favor of raw pragmatism put through the fires of litigation involving entire communities rather than two parties until a consensus can be reached. This, however, is only temporary, for it is said in the Annals that such a practice tore apart the state of Zheng, leading to the execution of Deng Xi, and so Gansu may see major reforms in the coming future, though it's unlikely that the spirit of sophistry will leave anytime soon. Hui Shi remains incredibly prominent in Lanzhou, but his vision is set on China as the mad sophist seeks to restore the 100 schools once more, all in the name of a country that fights with words instead of guns.

Change of plans. The game is over. My external HDD with 5+ years of my personal stuff and all my SV stuff died, I have no money to even attempt to do some recovery on it. Beyond that, just mounting IRL stuff means I don't want to participate anymore.
