	During the early centuries of the Huan Dynasty, Huan Ah's heirs considered it their duty to continue Ah's legacy by each performing some great military feat.

During the early centuries of the Huan Dynasty, Huan Ah's heirs considered it their duty to continue Ah's legacy by each performing some great military feat. These feats are known as the Great Campaigns, periods of rapid imperial expansion. All but one of the Campaigns are considered to be decisive Akarean victories.

	Under the rule of the second emperor of the dynasty [[Huan Cao]], Akareans developed boats suitable for traversing the shallow waters of the [[Danpian]] islands surrounding Great Huan. With these [[Junk (boat)\|Junks]], troops and resources could be sailed in large numbers. The first Great Campaign under Cao saw the Akarean occupation of [[Republic of Satoyama#First Colonial Era\|Satoyama]]. Satoyama would become Akarea's first overseas territory, intended as a stepping-stone between the mainland and the lands north of the Cenaesian Mountains. Cao thus attempted to expand north from Satoyama, but was thwarted by the Cenaesians, suffering a total defeat. Records indicate just two hundred men managed to retreat alive as their sailing had intended to be one-way and the Junks were not prepared for a fallback. Upon returning to Akarea, Cao abdicated from the throne and committed ritual suicide proclaiming eternal servitude to [[Su Ling]] the Goddess of Judgement.

The first Great Campaign under Cao saw the Akarean occupation of [[Republic of Satoyama#First Colonial Era\|Satoyama]] in 535 CE. Satoyama would become Akarea's first overseas territory, intended as a stepping-stone between the mainland and the lands north of the Cenaesian Mountains. Cao thus attempted to expand north from Satoyama later in 539 CE but was thwarted by the Cenaesians, suffering a total defeat. Records indicate just two hundred men managed to retreat alive as their sailing had intended to be one-way and the Junks were not prepared for a fallback. Upon returning to Akarea, Cao abdicated from the throne and committed ritual suicide proclaiming eternal servitude to [[Su Ling]] the Goddess of Judgement.

			The third emperor [[Huan Jianping]] instead opted to sail south through the Danpian, landing on [[Gaanglanglataar]]. Akarean forces easily overwhelmed the primitive locals and established initial Akarean rule in Gaanglanglataar in 590 CE. Gaanglanglataaran rebel sects would stage multiple rebellions in 592, 599, 603, 612, 629, 640 and 667, well through into the reign of the fourth emperor [[Huan Ming]] whose Great Campaign was the retention of Gaanglanglataar throughout these times. Gaanglanglataar brought horses to Akarea, establishing horseback riding as the dominant method of transport on land.

Earthquakes struck both on land and off both the east and west coasts causing great tsunamis that flooded the lowlands, destroying settlements and farmland. Sudden mass-migrations to hastily-built settlements further inland gave rise to diseases and infections due to poor shelter from a monsoon that is understood to have lasted for at least five months. This, along with the resulting famine, is said to have led to the deaths of countless millions from illness and starvation.

	The capital of Akarea is [[Fujing]]. Although Fujing is physically located within Great Huan, it is considered its own state for administrative purposes as the [[Grand Assembly]] where the delegates of Akarean states meet is located there, thereby necessitating a certain degree of geopolitical neutrality. Fujing is the most populated and most densely populated city in the world, with some areas reaching the equivalent of 1.3 million people per square kilometre. The terrain of Akarea varies from lowland plains and rolling hills to jungles, rugged coastlines, steep mountain ranges and high plateaus.

Akarea is known for its cuisines, both traditional and pop culture, and contains nearly 100 designated world heritage sites, the most of any non-aligned nation.		The Akarean Union is a unicameral parliamentary democracy; elected delegates from the Akarean States meet in the [[Grand Assembly]] to discuss local and national issues. Akarea's system of [[Market Socialism]] is defined in the [[People's Definition of the New Akarean State]], and the Union's Constitution protects it, stating that workers control the means of production and the enterprise which stems from it. The currency of Akarea is the ''Yuan'' (lit. "Unit") as part of the [[People's Definition of the New Akarean Economy]] in which the structure of a ''Renminbi'' or People's Currency is outlined. The Akarean Union is not a member of either the [[Kaltach Union]] or [[Terran Commonwealth]], though it has formal relations with both Candanadium and [[Edofasia]] - the principal members of these unions respectively - which has been a point of contention throughout the Akarean Union's contemporary geopolitical history. Akarea is known for its cuisines, both traditional and pop culture, and contains nearly 100 designated world heritage sites, the most of any non-aligned nation.
