Qinzao or Zhao, Formerly Gelaisha, formally recognized as the Imperial State of Zhao, is a substantial micronation spanning the Philippine islands and certain foreign territories. Since August 25, 2023, it has been a proud member of the Accande Terrie Ornindo.
Zhao's monarchy is an Absolute Monarchy led by the esteemed Emperor or Empress. In this system, the monarch holds supreme authority, governing over all aspects of the nation, including lawmaking, justice administration, foreign affairs, and resource management. While offering stability, this concentration of power also raises concerns about accountability and individual rights. The monarchy's evolution over time will shape its relationship with citizens and the nation's future.
History
The Imperial State of Zhao, formerly Gelaisha, traces its history to its establishment on August 31, 2018. Two weeks after its formation, the kingdom faced a significant test when it was attacked by Burstia, resulting in the Luis War. This early conflict marked the nation's resilience and determination.
In 2020, Zhao found itself embroiled in a virtual war with Yachtistan. The conflict was fierce, with Yachtistan gaining the upper hand. However, shortly thereafter, an alliance formed between Yachtistan and another nation, Merkistan, which boasted greater strength. In the face of this formidable alliance, Zhao made the difficult decision to surrender, agreeing to yield half of its territory.
The year 2021 witnessed a pivotal turn of events. Zhao, determined to regain its lost territory, launched an offensive against Merkistan. Through strategic planning and the resilience of its citizens, Zhao managed to retake its territory and reestablish its sovereignty.
These historical events not only reflect Zhao's unwavering commitment to its sovereignty but also highlight the nation's ability to adapt, persevere, and defend its interests in the face of challenges and adversity.
