Zonyon

The Kingdom of Zonyon (Hanji: 長圓王國; Henshaw-Marlborough: Zonyon Omgok) is an island nation in East Asia.

History
The geographical location of Zonyon has been one of the dominant factors in its turbulent history. Surrounded by the menacing giants of China, Korea and Japan, the island became the target of each conquering faction in turn.

Most historians agree that the Zonyonese originated from China. In 217 BC, the first emperor of unified China, Qin Shi Huang, was nearly killed in an assassination attempt devised by noble Zhang Liang. As a result, Qin Shi Huang grew paranoid of death, and in 219 BC supervised teams of virgin youth were sent eastwards to find a legendary Isle of Penglai, where the elixir of life was believed to be located. One of these boatloads of youth allegedly landed in Zonyon, marking the beginning of human inhabitance on the island. This theory is supported by many historical texts found in Zonyon, China and elsewhere, but is complicated by the lack of archaeological evidence.
