Canpei, oficially the '''Republic of Canpei''' (Daxian:新都共和国) is a country in southern [[Audonia]]. It borders [[Rusana]] and [[Daxia]] to the south, [[Huoxia]] to the east and Ankivara to the west. The name Canpei can be roughly translated as 'the broad north' as the region was known to the [[Daxia]]n empires to the south, a sort of last frontier before transitioning to the barbarous, nomadic northern steppes. The capital of Canpei is the city of [[Brink]], which is located roughly in the geographic center of the country, next to the Hongse river. Canpei has a population of around thirty two million people. Canpei has a mixed economy with elements of state dirigisme coexisting with free market capitalism, economic inequality is one of the highest in the world. Most of Canpei's exports use [[Daxia]]n ports and the nation is very reliant on remittances from [[Daxia]]. Canpei is a presidential republic consisting of eleven provinces. Canpei is classified by the International Liberty Index Foundation as a flawed democracy with worrying downward trends on issues such as corruption, speech and media freedoms and free and fair elections.

Canpei's history is deeply enmeshed with that of its southern [[Daxia]]n neighbor as the latter began expanding into the area in the early 8th century. ~~Expansion~~ into the plains was slow at first but gathered pace as nomad tribes were either pushed further north or brought to heel by military or diplomatic means.

Canpei's history is deeply enmeshed with that of its southern [[Daxia]]n neighbor as the latter began formally expanding into the area in the early 8th century. Even prior to that the existence of the Liang kingdom created by exiles from northern [[Daxia]] introduced the culture and language to the far north. Imperial expansion into the plains was slow and tentative at first but gathered pace as nomad tribes were either pushed further north or brought to heel by military or diplomatic means. The Qian dynasty overburdened and neglected the province for decades, considering it a backwater of little import, this lack of attention eventually gave rise to festering sedition and separatism among the local elites and the various ethnic groups who all felt disenfranchised. A coalition of local groups took advantage of the chaotic ending of the [[Second Great War]] and the fall of the Qian to stake their claim of independence. Forever after Canpei and [[Daxia]] have had a rocky relationship where the former is forever attempting to maintain alive its sovereignty against an overpowering neighbor.

==Etymology==

Canpei is a bastardization of the word Guangbei, which is a Daxian term that means "broad-north". The region got its name for the seemingly endless plains and for the fact that for hundreds of years it was the northernmost limit of Daxian regional influence.
