Chinese Empire

Great Chunghwa, also known as China (中國, Chung Kuo) or in English as the Chinese Empire, is a sovereign state in East Asia. It is the most populous country in the world and it is the only remaining empire today. After the Hsin-Hai Revolution in 1911, the Qing Emperor was forced to abdicate and China became a republic from 1912 to 1915. On December 11th 1915, the erstwhile National Assembly elected the then President Yuen Shi Khai as the Hung Hsuen Emperor. His own military commanders mutinied against him and soon military governors from the south began to rebel. Within a year, he died of uremia and was suceeded by the more adept Cheng Te Emperor, who was able to establish a strong power base and quell the rebellions with the help of Chiang Kai Shek and the KMT army. In exchange for his throne, he established the Chinese parliamentary system.
