Nande (Known Officially as Yueliang zhi di) is the lands known in the west as the Dark Lands. A place almost untouched by the west but one in which Xin seeks dominance.

Long ago under the leadership of the Admiral Yu Liao Xin established many colonies and walled cities within the heart lands of the Dark Lands, but Xin stayed away from the Malakas (For a variety of reasons mainly diplomatic). Anyone not of the Malakas and far from their lands faced the full wrath of Yu Liao and Xin within decades massive amounts of lands were carved out for Xin.

Now most would ask why the Dark Lands? Firstly it is rich in minerals and grains Xin needs to support it's growing populace, Secondly it's coast line is highly important to the domination of Rhunic trade (One in which Xin has seeked complete dominance), Thirdly why not expand when you can (You know the whole Expand or Die mentality)?

The core of the Xinese Dark Lands are ruled over by a prince (Known as the Moon Prince) and is placed alongside the Sun Prince when it comes to power (The Moon Prince also hails from a noble line of distant cousins to the Emperor). Although not all of the land is placed under the principality many military colonies and even military prefectures exist and a healthy amount of pirate cities.

The population here is probably one of the most diverse in all of Xin with natives mixed with slaves and colonist from the main land (Xin currently has a massive colonization effort going on in which the bloodlines of the main land and natives is heavily mixed)
