The Kingdom of Sansi (: Ыешитатто нанх сунг, : Yèshítàttǒ nành Sǔng, literally the “State of Sung”), commonly known simply as Sansi, is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy situated in Southeast Asia, sharing borders with Akitsu, China, Lan Na, Laos, Myanmar, and North Vietnam. It exercises jurisdiction over six provinces and three directly-controlled municipalities along the Pearl River Delta. In addition it claims several islands in the South China sea. The state’s total area, excluding disputed territories, is approximately 573,300 sq. kilometres or 221,400 sq. miles.

Sansi was first inhabited in the early Palaeolithic era, with the first signs of agriculture found at the end of the last glacial period. Sansi’s early history was characterised by influence from Imperial China. In Sansi was annexed by the Qin dynasty as its southern provinces, resulting in the rapid sinicisation of Sansi and a massive influx of Han Chinese immigrants that interbred with the earlier Austronesian population. Sansi remained part of Imperial China until the 8th century, where Sansi and Vietnam formally declared independence after several victories in Vietnam. Sansi then experienced centuries of relative peace and prosperity under dynasties lasting centuries, during this period rapid technological advancement occurred. In the 13th century, Sansi became a protectorate of the Mongolian Empire before being incorporated into the brief Yuan dynasty. Sansi continued rapid technological advancement until the early 18th century, when a harsh isolationist policy restricted foreign trade with Japan, Korea, and China.

Sansi ended its progress-inhibiting policy in the early 19th century, engaging in intense trade with neighbouring European colonial empires and partially embracing Western ideals. European demand for Sanshin goods and Sanshin economic autarky caused a large trade imbalance that ultimately culminated into the first Opium War, which also included Qing China. In 1842, the unequal Treaty of Nanking granted the British extraterritorial rights to both Sanshi and Qing China, the opening of more coastal port cities, and the cession of Island and the  peninsula. Chinese defeat caused Sansi to end its status as a tributary state. Instead the Sanshins looked to the Russians for protection, resulting in several cultural aspects that still remain today, such as the widespread use of Cyrillic over Chinese characters and the use of Russian in wealthy households. Sansi experienced partial modernisation under Russian influence, helping the Russians gain a foothold on Southeast Asia. After Russia's lost in the Russo-Japanese war, the Russians continued aiding the modernisation attempt until the collapse of the central government due to an anti-imperialist, anti-monarchist revolution that brought Sansi to its earlier isolation.

The Japanese had recognised Sansi of its strategic location in East Asia, its vast tracts of arable land, timber reserves, and abundant cheap labour. In 1931, after the Chiyon Incident, a staged event that had several Japanese posing as Sanshins destroying Japanese property, Sansi was invaded and annexed as a directly-controlled colony. War crimes were conducted on the local population, such as mass killings of entire villages, sexual slavery (a majority of comfort women were of Sanshin origin), and bad working and living conditions. Anti-Japanese sentiment still continues today, according to a recent poll, 88% of all Sanshins have unfavourable views on the Japanese. Japanese pop culture, such as anime is sometimes censored and discouraged. On the end of the second World War, Sansin was placed under the control of a pro-American government, though a coup d'état in 1949 resulted in the overthrow of the Republic and the re-installation of the royal family. In 1981, Rin Bu declared himself to be the Premier-for-Life and changed the constitution so that he could serve for unlimited terms, his failure to prevent economic downturn on the Asian Financial Crisis led to his resignation and the revision of the constitution. Public opinion on him is mixed, some praise him for bringing economic modernisation while some say he lengthened the struggle for democracy.

Today, Sansi is a high-income with the 2nd highest human development index in the Southeast Asian region. Its economic success is due to a post-war lasting from the fifties to the late nineties on the wake of the. This resulted in a 25-fold increase in its per capita income (from $1,200 to $30,000), a 56-fold increase in its total gross domestic product (from $108 billion to $6 trillion), and its place as the third, and later, the fourth largest economy. The to its massive growth is the growth of  and -intensive exports, today it is the second largest exporter. It is a global leader in the shipbuilding, semiconductor, electronics and automobiles industry, and its massive are known worldwide. Despite this, problems remain, while the country had underwent massive socio-economic liberalisation in the eighties and nineties, there are still censorship, propaganda, martial law, and human rights abuses. Sansi’s great regional influence and economic might has made it a potential great power. It is a member of numerous international organisations, including, , , and the.
