The Empire of China, or officially Empire of the Great Qing (Pinyin: 大清國), or better known as Qing China (to distinguish it from the other factions in China) is a country in Far Eastern Asia. It is bordered to the north by Mongolia, the Fengtien Republic (under Japanese control), and the German enclave of Tangshan; to the east by the German enclave of Qingdao and the Yellow Sea; to the south by the Legation Cities and the Allgemeine Ostasiatische Gesellschaft; and to the west by the Shangqing Tianguo-controlled area and the Xibei San Ma warlords' demesne.
The Qing Dynasty of Manchurian origin ruled the Empire of China from 1644, date of the conquest of Chian proper by the Manchu Aisin-Goro clan, to 1911, year of the Republican Xinhai Revolution that deposed Emperor Pu Yi. The Qing era coincided for China with the highly representative reigns of Kangxi and Cixi, but also with an increased isolation of China and the rise of European colonialism, reaching his peak with the Boxer Rebellion. After the 1911 Revolution, the Chinese Republic soon collapsed into anarchy, where power was divided between numerous warlords, until the 1926 German intervention. On February, 2 1927 (beginning of the Fire Rabbit Year), the Qing Empire was restored under the present system: an autocratic monarchy of divine right, centered on the Emperor's person and his orders transmission through a small Imperial Council. Even though the Empire of China stands as the only official power in China, it's still the shadow of its former self: much of the economic and military powers are monopolized by the Allgemeine Ostasiatische Gesellschaft, and puritan revolts is spreading in Chinese campaigns.

History
After the proclamation of the Chinese Republic by Sun Yat-Sen in 1911 and the separation of numerous provinces throughout China, the Qing dynasty, installed in 1644 by the Manchu clan Aisin-Goro was removed a year later by the Imperial Edict of Empress Dowager Longyu bringing the abdication of the Child Emperor, Pu Yi, then six years old; he stayed as the former Emperor of China, installed in the Forbidden City at the expense of the Chinese Republic, before being expelled by one of the numerous warlords who shattered China during this era. The Chinese Republic stood despite anarchy and some anecdotal events as short-lived Empire of general Yuan Shikai (1916) and a twelve days-long recrowning of Pu Yi by warlord Zhang Xun (1917).
In the 20's, German Chancellor von Tirpitz, fearing that a Chinese Civil War would bring instability in Asia, decided of an intervention in China. In a few months, German colonial armies controlled Eastern China and divided the country in two zones : the south under administration of German companies, the north under a restored Qing Empire ruled by collaborationist native politicians. They reinstalled Pu Yi as Xuantong Huangdi (Emperor Xuantong), his 1908's crowning era name. The Qing Empire is now a shadow of its former self: it lost its dignity as an independent country, its economy is in the hands of the German trusts, and even its legitimacy is disputed, challenged by Zhang Tianran's Shangqing Tianguo and his puritan revolters.
