Chū-Mèe

Chū-Mèe (/t͡ɕý.mɛ̂ɪ/ lit. Pure Universe) is a country that encompasses the most land mass in the Xang (also known as Cas) continent in Jokaimi. Chū-Mèe is also the most populous country in Jokaimi with a total population, excluding controversial regions such as Northern Naja and Southern Xōna, of approximately 1.15 billion inhabitants, the vast majority of which are the native Chū-Kata (/t͡ɕý.kʰɑtɑ/ lit. Pure Entities). Chū-Mèe was one of the first civilisations to develop writing along with numerous other technologies throughout the ages. The founding of Chū-Mèe cannot be pinpointed to a specific time and place but it is generally accepted that the Chū-Mèe known today became extant after numerous groups from the East of modern day Chū-Mèe came together with one group now known as the Chū-Kata winning and founding their first major civilistion of which sufficient evidence exists. Chū-Mèe has existed in varying periods of centralisation and stability over the centuries. Despite the Chū-Kata holding most of the dynastic rule over the years, there have been foreign dynasties such as that of Chunuk Khan, the Xō who unified the Xōna tribes. Of note is that Chū-Mèe once had a purely male government but due in part to Sǔng Yē along with numerous reforms and social changes, Chū-Mèe is now considered a matriarchy with history often being bisected into the umbrella terms of the Bing Ren and Bing Renpáo (Emperor Half and Empress Half). The actual control of the Renpáo is an issue of debate as to what extent she controls affairs and if the role is ceremonial or not along with whether its existence is necessary, is it justified and so on.
