The Empire of Hondon is a puppet state which replaced the nation of Xhusovo, which was formed under a form of semi-constitutional monarchy. It came into existence after the Jingdaoese occupation of the region during the War of Lost Brothers and had to act as a buffer zone to protect Jingdao's eastern border. It's ruled by the son of Princess Yuling, who took the regnal name Hoshasei Emperor.
History
Politics
Head of State
The strong ethnic, political and military ties between the Hondonese and Jingdaoese nations made it possible for the Jingdaoese forces to convince the remnants of the Xhusovar government (of which a majority had fled the country during the Twelve Days War) to place a Jingdaoese on the new throne. The nation itself was renamed Hondon and the head of state even belonged to the same Dynasty as the Heavenly Light of Jingdao.
Prince Hon, son of Princes Yuling Erasmii, was chosen as the right man for the job: he lacked importance, so in case of an early death, it wouldn't have been a real loss. On the other hand, he had sufficient standing to serve as an important propaganda tool. The Xhusovars, whom were an offspring of the Jingdaoese, would see his familial ties, as a proof that serious efforts were undertaken to stabilise the region.
On 17 November 315 EGA the prince was crowned Emperor and received the regnal name Hoshasei Emperor, which literally meant 'radiant'.

Imperial State Council
The Imperial State Council was largely established as an honorary body without real authority. It acted as a parliament with a limited number of 15 seats and consisted of:
- Imperial Court Officials: 5 seats, appointed by the Emperor
- District representatives: 8 seats, elected directly by the people.
- Temple representative: 1 seat, occupied by an appointed priest of the Tianchaodao Faith.
- Army representative: 1 seat
Most real power ended up in the hands of the Emperor and the Jingdaoese Army, which guarded the peace in the small country. The candidates for erach election are screened beforehand and need to run with the sole legal party: the Jing and Hon Association, a pro-Jingdaoese party which modelled itself after the Badao Party.
Administrative divisions
The nation, after the Treaty of Chuan Ke, was divided into eight districts.
