Sanqing

Sanqing refers to a civilizational state in Kesh, made up of a "circle of states" - Hydar State, Kodeshia, and Qingcheng. Sanqing is a political and economic union with various scientific programs among the entire civilization, mutual defence, and common philosophical and political discourse. While Sanqing is often compared to blocs such as the Pan-Artemian Coalition, political scientists in Sanqing warn against this analogy as Sanqing represents Kodeshi civilization as a whole, and the members within do not practice state sovereignty in the same way other parts of Anterra do. Instead Sanqing should be seen as breathing space for the creation of numerous non-Artemian models in the circle of states and a sphere of its own, separate from the rest of Anterra. Sanqing is among the largest political units in Anterra with a population of over 800 million and a GDP of around 2.5 trillion. All systems within Sanqing pledge fealty to the Emperor of Kodeshia who is seen as the leader of Kodeshi civilization. The emperor is a figurehead, but nevertheless carries great spiritual importance.

History
Since the gradual disillusion of Kodeshi beginning from 1500s the idea of Kodeshi reunification has captivated many intellectuals throughout the bloc. Kodeshia and Qingcheng began meetings to discuss how a reunified Kodeshi space could look in the 1960s wanting a unity that would allow for the further development of Kodeshi culture without jeopardizing their autonomy. They in particular wanted to look away from the nation-state paradigm in the rest of Anterra and create a new model of sovereignty based around Tianren. Qingcheng would recognize the Kodeshi Emperor in the 1970s and "reestablished Tianxia", positing Kodeshia and Qingcheng as part of a much older civilizational state. They two would sign numerous agreements to create a common market, space agency, opened up the borders, and expanded university cooperation. Hydar would join in the 90s and the three would gradually become integrated into a larger body known as Sanqing.

Members
The member states are Hydar State,Kodeshia, and Qingcheng.

Observers
States with observer status include Akiteiwa, Alvakalia, Beifang and KTEC.

Structure
While led by the Emperor of Kodeshia, the people of nations in Sanqing elect a broader SPCC to manage the Sanqing Imperial Agencies. The SPCC elects a Standing Committee which meets weekly. The nations in Sanqing elect ministers every 5 Years who manage the day to day operations of the imperial agencies. Sanqing's elected bodies function on corporatist structures, giving power to various social classes within Sanqing society.

Made up of some of the most rapidly growing economies in Anterra, Sanqing is seen as the "rising giant of Kesh". It possesses vast manufacturing infrastructure and one of the most exciting common markets in the world. Sanqing as a whole has gradually taken on some diplomacy of its own through the negotiation of trade deals with the Sanqing Common Market. Sanqing has funded numerous development and infrastructure projects within and outside its confines. Through the Sanqing Space Research Organization (: 三清空间研究组织; : Sānqīng kōngjiān yánjiū zǔzhī) Sanqing possesses one of the most advanced space programs in the world.
