The Chenese Empire

"My people! We must restore our once great empire and release it from the grip of foreign influence"

-Emperor Flippioan II

Pre-History
The Chenese empire is one of the most ancient civilisations in Robloxian history, becoming inhabited almost 8.2 million years ago. Like most early civilisations, it was inhabited by Nearobloxians who warred and stole to gain dominance.

This changed 5.7 million years ago when Modern Robloxians arrived in Chena. They easily conquered the unorganized Nearobloxian tribes, uniting it under the Kingdom of Chena. King Fella I quickly turned tyrannical after beginning his rule, causing a civil war to break out.

The First Civil War
Within 4 years of King Fella's rule, a civil war broke out, with most of the Eastern warlords declaring their regions independence. King Fella was quickly killed by his advisors and his body dumped in a forest, yet to be found. The Kingdom of Chena was quickly beaten back by the Ying Dynasty who almost had complete superiority of the entire country. Just before they established full control, a new party appeared, the Floppas.

Claiming they had been repressed by the country they resided in, the Floppas took over many key cities within a matter of weeks, uniting them to attack Bojong itself. This campaign succeeded, taking Bojong within 4 months of the uprising.

The remnants of the Ying Army, who had already defeated the Kingdom of Chena, tried to fight back against the rising Floppa forces. The problem was many Ying soldiers saw the end coming and switched sides to save their families, giving the Floppas a huge advantage.

By the end of the year the Floppas had complete and utter control over the region. They declared General Orbintime their King soon after, giving them a proper, competent, leader.

Golden Age
In 927ABB (After Birth of Builderman) The 2nd Kingdom of Chena reached its golden age, farming was at an all time high, many wars had been won, morale was high, the King, Gregovri was of US of Robloxia descent, keeping peace with Robloxia while reigning. All this combined caused an economic boom, and many military advancements.

Around this time it was also decided that the King would be upgraded to an Emperor.

The Great Decline
The empire had great success, never falling behind on modernization, until, the Industrial Revolution came along. In 1799 the Emperor, Noron XVIII decided to embrace tradition instead of advancing the country, claiming machines were "Created by the devil" and "Useless hunks of steam and bolts destroying our tradition and taking our jobs!" Despite using tradition and culture as an excuse to not modernizing, Noron repressed all forms of culture that embraced someone more than him. This earned him the title, "Noron the Terrible".

When his son took over in 1804, the destruction of culture and all forms of modernization left the country irreparable. A string of droughts, the essential rainstorm not coming that year, a sandstorm covering hundred of thousands of square kilometres of crops also contributed to the countries decline. Many attempts were made to silence the countries decline to outside world to prevent takeovers, but these were unsuccessful as many countries such as the USR learnt of the decline.

Invasion
On the 4th June 1805 the United States of Robloxia, the Holy Tobeten Empire and the Frost Clan all invaded The Chenese Empire at once. The empire was extremely unprepared and its armies were wiped out in mass encirclement movements. It also didn't help that the Imperial Army was extremely behind and still used guns from the 1690s, some still even using swords. Emperor Noron XVIIII (Noron the terrible's son) was so stressed he had a heart attack and fell into a coma, rendering him unable to give orders to the country.

Many more countries soon joined in on the invasion, regaining what they considered "stolen territory". Counter attacks proved unsuccessful and the empire lost. Some troops refused surrender and were captured or slaughtered by the advancing militaries.

The Big Sad
After the war ended, Chenas territory was reduced by 35%, it lost 350 miles of coastline, it had to pay massive reparations for losses in a war it DIDNT START, had to export grain to other countries during a famine and had tons of destroyed infrastructure it didn't have the money to replace.

After the war ended, an 10.1 magnitude earthquake happened, destroying the ENTIRE of Bojong and many surrounding areas. To make things even worse, MORE sandstorms came and the foreign powers demanded more grain.

This caused Emperor Flopon VIto become a depressed alcholoic who refused to run the country. It seemed the country was falling until....

Even more decline
In 1922, Emperor Flopon VI died at the age of 132, leaving his 6 year old son, Prince Flippioan, to become Emperor of the Chenese.

Flippioan was coronated on the 26th January 1922, his first act being to kick the man who tried to crown him. Due to him being so young and not able to govern the country, his advisors realised this and abused their power to milk money. They made themselves not able to be arrested, made themselves not pay taxes and gave themselves total control over the entire country. Their reasoning for this was, "We want a constitutional monarchy" Removing tax from the upper class began to take quite the toll on the economy, the Advisors solution though was to just tax EVERYTHING, Imports, exports, wood, glass, metal, windows, oil and basically everything needed to survive. They also banned ALL FORMS of entertainment, even banning vibrant colours for "being distracting" instead opting for the use of black and white in houses. In order to grow the population again, they banned private land in a very communist move.

They also HEAVILY taxed the peasantry and strengthened the social hierarchy to give themselves extreme power. This tipped the population to a boiling point and largescale riots broke out across the nation. The advisors used the military to put down these riots by force and thought nothing would of it, but.....

The Big Jump Into Greatness
Emperor Flippioan turned 18 on the 14th of June 1934 finally giving him complete control over the country.

His first act as a proper Emperor was to bring back the taxing of the upper class and also making them arrestable again. He then brought back all forms of entertainment, law and democracy that existed before he was Emperor.
