  • The Mongol Empire

    North Asia, V cen. B.C.- IV cen. A.D. Scythian tribes moved to the Siberia and further in East Asia.

    Among all the other nations, they were the first masters of the bow, but this wasn't their only difference.

    They carried with them it spirit, stepp skills, organisation and even agriculture knowledge.

    Going east, they left their former lands to others, and, settling at new locations, transferred their experience to new people of "Hunnu".

    Later, both folks, often and seriously influenced the formation of Chinese culture and statehood.



    East Asia, VII cen. A.D. From north Hunn tribal territories come a man by name "Li Yuang". It was predefined him to creat new single Chinese Empire with combined Altaic stepp army traditions

    and great Chinese culture and administration. In fact, many were interested in that. An empire of "Тan" was born after he took the power in country, but after rule for 300 years, for many reasons,

    theYuang's lost a right on a throne. Began a troubled time for Mongols and Chinesians. Parts of same former Empire choosed a way to reunited their sometime territories.



    East Asia, XIII cen. A.D. North post.Tan and nomad China, experiencing the stages of transformation and consolidation,was ready to conquer the south.

    The "Jin" army wasn't stong enouth for serious war with South "Song", and then, they decided to connect the disparate forces of the steppe tribes.

    The entire subsequent history of the conquest of China by Genghis Khan, associated with a clear plan of "Jin" to create strong and united Altaic-Chinese state

    and to establish total control over the western trade routes. In particular, China has used the invasion of the Mongols for their own building and technology development.

    This gave the opportunity to defeat the "Song", for a growing future and great "Eurasian Yuang".



    Conclusion: China can't be an Empire without Altaic traditions. Today, these traditions have been preserved only in one country.

    Scythians didn't disappear, they watch and wait for a new beginning.



    (Optional) Some mystics for Europeans:

    The people of Asia wished to be united, but for that they needed an army. And they found to whom hand their will. Scythians did it choice.

    They were nomad's tribes that wanted to begin world's association with all interested, to creat one single, equal network with banner of freedom and tolerance.

    Their philosophy was clever and strong, but It was been not simply.

    However it was an altruistic society, who belived in worlds mentality performance and him traditions. It was a society of equality and public order, a time of honest and noble aims...

    there was only complete freedom. The necessity of community was shown in the single bending down to the order in which were not strong ideology, secrets or idols.

    They got barns and unity, but they were not so able to perfect the world. They did not realised an aim of social consolidation of life and consciousness.

    And then people asked: what are they living for? They leaders desired love of their people, virtue. Mongols did not create a miracle for their.

    Confusion overcame nations, and the united empire collapsed. Finally, Mongols "Yuang" dinasty found stability and was fully incorporated. But for a short time.

  • Preussische Heer

    The Preussische Heer is a social group and TWC politics-related organization for those seeking to maintain and share the good sides of the discipline and glory of old 18th and 19th-century Prussia. We praise order, value mutual respect, and of course prefer to have that old military touch to whatever it is we do. Join our ranks on the path to glory!





    *RULES*



    Section I - What We Are





    i) the Preussische Heer is a political group on TWC in the sense that we pursue fictional, purely TWC-related policies. We neither have nor wish to have any real-world political affiliation, and are not related to any extinct or extant ideologies.

    ii) the Preussische Heer attempts to maintain certain 'Prussian' traits both inside and outside the confinement of the Social Group space/board. To do this, a series of rules have been lined out for members to follow in order to remain part the group. These rules are not designed or intended to collide or conflict with the existing TWC ToS or practice, and a number of things must therefore be highlighted:

    iia.) the official languages of use inside the group board are English and Prenglish. Outside the group, however, use of Prenglish is strongly discouraged as it may be seen as disturbing or disruptive in discussions across the forums.

    iib.) group members are given ranks, and are meant to address each other by rank inside the group board, but use of ranks outside the group is inappropriate unless the circumstances are especially moderate. Furthermore, ranks hold no actual meaning outside the group space; and a non-member should not address members by rank.

    iic.) the rank system is not an incentive for flaming or derogatory comments. Higher-ranking members do not hold any direct command over the lower-ranking members, but are merely administrators and leaders of the group in general.

    iii) the aim of the group is to hold values that lead us into working professionally and with discipline with whatever it is we do on TWC. We seek to achieve the greatest possible quality - not quantity - and therefore try to maintain a good, solid grammar, the attitude that completion goes before time restriction, and that smileys should be spared unless the occassion requires them.





    Section II - Some General Notes



    i) We wish to have order, and as such, our social group is organized into separate Regiments, each comprising as many members as seen fit. Each Regiment is lead by a Oberregimentkapitein-Regimentkommandant; several Regiments help shape a Battalion, under the command of an Obergeneral-Feltmajor. These are collectively commanded by the Staff of the Preussische Heer, which assigns new members to Regiments in need.

    ii) New members are by default given the rank of Menig (private). Advancement through ranks depends on prestige, and is granted by officers holding appropriate positions in relation to the rank of the member (such as Regiment commanders for Regiment-level ranks, and Battalion commanders for Battalion-level ranks). Rank advancement can be vetoed by higher-ranking officers if deemed necessary.

    iii) To each rank belongs an insignia, i.e. the Menig rank is characterized by the > rank insignia, and this may be worn in the custom user title or the signature, or even the avatar, depending on the member's preferences. Rank insignia use is highly recommended to avoid confusion, but is not compulsory. The rank name may be used instead of, or together with, the insignia. To characterize the insigniae as ranks of the Preussiche Heer, the member should write Preussische Heer Rang [...] or PHR [...] next to the insignia.

    iv) Using the insignia or name of a rank which the member does not belong to is highly inappropriate and will be viewed negatively, as a violation of Preussische Heer procedures, by higher-ranking members, which may lead to either demotion or even forced discharge.

    v) Members should have some form of avatar, custom user title or signature trait that identifies him/her with the Preussische Heer. Symbols that characterize the Preussische Heer are: pickelhauben (including variations), the Prussian eagle, famous Prussian people (including Frederick II), Prussian 18th- and 19th century uniforms, and the flag of Prussia. Text directly referring to the Preussische Heer in the signature, for instance, is also adequate.

    vi) The Preussische Heer uses a custom substitute for most other smileys. While spamming it is discouraged, its use for limited purposes is highly encouraged.



    Section III - Newly Enrolled Members' Conduct



    i) New members will be referred to, and addressed by, the rank of Menig unless immediately promoted by the staff of the Preussische Heer. A new member will be assigned to a commanding regimental officer (Oberregimentkapitein-Regimentkommandant) and the regiment of that officer, and then initiate his career within the Preussische Heer. The member is then fully able to participate in all of the discussions and activities of the Preussische Heer.

    ii) New members can be promoted. A PM is either sent by the applicant to an officer of the command instance above with a request to be promoted, or, if the appropriate officer himself is attempting to promote the applicant, sent by the officer to the applicant once the promotion has been successfully approved by higher staff. Once the promotion has been approved, the member will be allowed to discard his old rank information and use the newly acquired rank title and insignia. He will be addressed by the new rank title.



    Section IV - Officers' Conduct



    i) Officers of the Preussische Heer are to set an example for lower-ranking members through exemplary conduct, fair but disciplined judgement, and the readiness to promote or demote members based on prestige and actions only.

    ii) Officers may promote members of the command instance below them by sending an application to the three highest-ranking Preussische Heer officers of the level of command above them, unless the member to be promoted is below officer rank and about to advance no further than a rank below officer rank, in which case no application has to be sent. The applications will be viewed with varying degrees of attention depending on the level of command involved - applicants' speed of advancing should prefertably decrease with increasing rank. It is impossible to advance more than one rank at a time above unteroffizier level. Should one, or more, of the three highest-ranking officers of the command instance above the application-sending officer decline the application, the applicant will not be promoted, and will remain unpromotable for at least four days. Should one, or more, of these three officers not be present, an officer of the rank below, not already committed to the task of viewing the application, will be sent the application. Once the application has succeeded, the applicant will be promoted to the relevant rank, with the appropriate procedures (read the Newly Enrolled Members' Conduct for further reference).

    iii)
