^
^It is the Year %STRING1, and the Mongol Empire has fractured into warring nations. The Chinese
^part, including the Mongol homeland, has come under the rule of the strict, xenophobic Ming
^Dynasty, which holds firm control and is very wealthy and powerful. In India and Central Asia,
^however, the Moslems who once lived under the Khans have revitalized Mongol rule fused with
^Islamic and Indian tradition to form the Moghul Empire. Southeast Asia, barely touched by the
^hordes, is now flourishing, whereas Indonesia has come under the control of the Chinese Admiral
^Zeng He and been reorganized as a united state. The Australian Aborigines and Polynesians, while
^isolated and primitive, have expanded considerably. And, finally, the Europeans, inspired by
^Marco Polo's tales of Cathay, are encrouching into Asia and the Pacific, having already annexed
^the primitive peoples of the Philipines, along with Russia, just broken free of the Golden Horde
^and moving into Siberia. You can play any one of these seven factions to decide the fate of Asia
^and the Pacific in the colonial era. Note that the Japanese are not present in this scenario, as
^they are in splendid isolation, riven by internal wars between warlords over the title of Shogun,
^and they kill all foreigners who trespass on their territory.
