The State of Chu, (楚, Chǔ), or the Superstate of Chu, is the largest single state and is located in the southern border of China. It is considered a superstate as its capable of wiping a state off the map if they so choose too. Because of that, other states typcially prefer to avoid conflict with the state of Chu.
Geography[]
The entirety of Chu encompasses a large landmass that borders Qin, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Qi. The Yangtze River flows through the country. It is known to be a superpower and its size is equal to that of the other six states combined. Despite this, they are wary of who they attack as they share borders with 5 different states and could be invaded by any if they strike at one.
History[]
At one point, Chu only had half its territory while Qi had the other half. But due to a joint coalition of the states, Qi lost all their possessions in the south which Chu absorbed into their kingdom. They have a strong military and normally the other states are wary of starting a war with them.
Once, years ago, one of Qin's Six Great Generals Ou Kotsu tried to conquer some of Chu's territories to which the Great General "Tiger of Chu" Kou En sent an army, led by a younger Kan Mei in his younger days, to meet the aggressors. Surprisingly, Kan Mei managed to wound Ou Kotsu with a single cut of his sword and forces him to retreat back to his homeland ashamed of his defeat. That failed invasion attempt at Chu's lands was swiftly covered by Qin. However, there were opposing rumors that Kan Mei was the one that had been defeated and covered up by Chu. The land south of Chu is inhabited by the people of Baiyue and this wild frontier could be seen as a training ground for Chu Generals as was seen for Rin Bu Kun.
Story[]
Culture[]
Not much is known on the culture of Chu as of yet, but the state is one of the leading states in metallurgic production and weapon creation. What is known is that being a general is of great honor and esteem as it is very competitive to be one due to Chu having a bigger population than the other states as stated by Rin Bu Kun. The state is also known for their great skills in weaponry craftsmanship and metallurgy.
Government[]
The state is a monarchy and was ruled by 23rd king Kou Retsu, with Shun Shin Kun as the prime minister. Together they ruled Chu with an Iron fist for decades. After the death of those two important political figures, the Prime Ministers became Ri En and Ka Rin, under the "Double Prime Minister System". This system stabilized the government within a month.
