Republicans attempt a coup! Parliament in UproarMay 7, 4392 Taeyangsudo, Myeoggi Royal Guard Drills in front of palaceDankuk is in an uproar as the treacherous Democratic Nationalists have Rebranded themselves the Republicans and have attempted to launch a
coup d'etat. The coup failed, due to lacking sufficient support from the People's Socialists. This series of events started during a cabinet reshuffling by the new Prime Minister, Madame Hwangje Mi-na, in which DNP had been assigned away from Foreign Affairs. Shortly afterwards, DNP paramilitary forces tried to force through a Republic bill which would convert the Empire into a Westernist Republic. The coup-plotters were subsequently arrested and are awaiting trial. The Republicans have since threatened to launch a civil war.
If you do consider this treason well I guess that means civil war. And I guarantee you that we will war.
It is uncertain where Dankuk will lead after this but foreign nations, such as Cildania are rushing to defend Dankuk from this new menace.

Madame Hwangje Mi-na, New Yeonguijeong
Prince Tae Kyo was born in year 4300 to Taeyang the Great and lived his early years in Palace at Sinsudo(then Iglesia Mayor). He grew up being privately tutored by court officials while his mother dealt with political affairs. At age of 18 he was recruited for work in the Nine Tail Agency and began work monitoring the Conservative party. Who at that time were opposed to Taeyang the Great. Eventually the Conservatives and National Conservatives would compromise establishing the constitutional framework that has kept the nation at peace for the last several decades. In 4332 the Claimant of the Ryeo clan, Ryeo Choesun, arrived at Wolgwangsudo Airport(then Gongmangdo) and tried to press his claim to the throne of Dankuk. The [then]Crown Princess Yeong Yoon-Jin invited Choesun to the palace to work out their differences, however tragically, Choesun died in an automobile accident. Shortly after this series of events Prince Tae Kyo was assigned to Yingdala to monitor the developing Cold War. In 4342 He got in Contact with the Junfadang and infiltrated the Yingdalan military under the assumed name "Sun Qi" and met many Yingdalan elite, and rumored to have had a glass of Soju with Ryeo Seojun, son of Ryeo Choesun.

In 4348, his mother Taeyang the Great was preparing to step down so her daughter could assume the duties of Taeyang, and the National Socialist victory in Kazulian Parliament renewing hostile posture to Dankuk, he was recalled back to Dankuk. Once in Dankuk he quickly was elected Chairman of Imperial Conservative Party and began efforts to reform the government after it was found that the Nine Tail Agency was attempting to procure weaponry smuggled through Klavia. He led the prosecution of the events, along with his sister, Empress Yoon-Jin. Within a decade he was selected as Prime Minister(Yeonguijeong).

In 4369, Kazulia unilaterally declared war on Dankuk and invaded Reunni and Eljang and causing much destruction in their Path. During this Time, Prime Minister rallied the country and enlisted the help of International allies to pressure Kazulia, and together with such greats like General Wu Longzi "the Dragonmaster" and General Park developed a Baduk strategy to defeat the stronger Kazulians, waging a guerrilla campaign that eventually drove the invaders out of Dankuk by 4375.

The war brought much destruction and it was discovered that Kazulian forces had attempted to Kazulianize the territories, and imprisoned many Kyo and Draddwyr in Concentration Camps. Prince Tae Kyo immediately began efforts to rebuild the country, and rebuilt many cultural artifacts that had been damaged by war, such as the Wolgwangpyeonghwa Palace(Formerly Beonyeongsalm Palace). In the years Following the War, Prince Tae Kyo authorized many Diplomatic overtures to other nations and personally negotiated Greater Dovani Co-prosperity Sphere with Hulstria Gso-Soto and Sekowo to contain National Socialist Kazulian threat. Unfortunately bad leadership by Belligerent Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alex Stabler of Democratic Nationalists, impaired Dankuk's Diplomacy and caused much trouble. Finally, as he was continuing to age he decided to retire in 4390 leaving to study the works of Jienists in the mountains of Myeoggi. When asked what his greatest accomplishment was he stated only the following
Keeping the idea of Dankuk Alive and definitively Eastern in face of the Barbarians. It was not easy to keep the Empire alive with so many enemies on the borders and presiding over the back to back crises was most difficult. It is satisfying that the Empire has survived a hundred years. My hope is that my successors can accomplish the same task much better than I could as there certainly were things that could've been handled better. The Yeonguijeong should govern according to the legitimacies of Heaven and Earth, practicing rightness, and respecting the sacred. R
Honouring the Sin/Kami and maintaining the Imperial Dignity is the Duty-essence of a good Yeonguijeong.
