History
Main article: Cathayan Historical Archive
Cathay was born out of a major conflict involving the Antozan Commonwealth and Lasanar, along with over a half-dozen other realms in the Far East Island. It then merged into the realm of Toupellon, but re-formed as the Free Kingdom of Cathay after Toupellon's collapse.
Political Structure and Traditions
Main article: Political Structure of Cathay
Cathay is a Constitutional Monarchy as defined in Constitution of Cathay. The ruler is believed to be the Child of Heaven (Tianzi) and his or her divine right to rule comes from the Mandate of Heaven. Such right is subject to no earthly authority, but may be withdrawn from a despotic ruler. The current ruler is Bofeng Liew.
Royal Privy Council serves as a private advisory body, which is solely selected by the throne. House of Lords, which consists of all landed lords, is the legislative body and all passed bills by House of Lords become law automatically (see Laws of Cathay). Royal Privy Council includes all members of House of Lords.
Government
