Tseng

The Republic of Tseng (Chinese: 曾華民國; French: Republique du Tseng; Dutch: Republiek Tseng) is a sovereign state located in East Asia. It's located 2130 km (1324 mi) southeast of, the nearest settlement. The country's shaped like a rectangle. The capital and largest city is the eponymous Tseng City.

Tseng was colonized much more than other colonized countries. Most Tsengians have European names, and some fear that Tsengian culture will be lost. Fortunately, there's been a rise in Tsengians names recently.

Tseng is a member of the UN, joining in 1976.

Prehistoric (26 century BC-1593)
It is agreed that Tseng split off from mainland Asia in the 26 century BC. The first people came from Sakhalin as far back as 3000 BC.

Colonization (1593-1765)
Tseng's been inhabited since prehistoric times. In fact, the Ming dynasty of China had already been there, occupying the eastern end of the island. However, that all changed in 1593, when, as part of the Age of Exploration, an expedition from the United Kingdom arrived in Tseng. They set up a settlement there (Fort Elizabeth), and started exploring the area. They were forced to leave because of a native uprising in 1597 but returned in 1605.

In 1616, France arrived, competiting with other European nations. They also set up a settlement (Louis-Ville) on the southeast end of the island. By 1635, if it wasn't chaotic enough, the Dutch came, and for the next few centuries the four nations along with the native tribes clashed. Finally, in 1765, the Yuzo Treaty was signed, dividing the island into English, French, Dutch, Qing, and indigenous sections. That didn't solve the indigenous problems. They only had a piece of forest along with a few outlying islands. That was minuscule considered to the other four nations. Eventually the colonizers gave the natives more land.

Peace (1765-1894)
The five groups on Tseng coexisted peacefully over the next few years. France was forced to leave in 1790 because of the French Revolution, and later the Dutch, so that left the English, Qing, and the natives.

France and the Netherlands would return in 1884 and 1892, respectively. The Qing dynasty, collapsing, left in 1894.

European Tseng (1894-1976)
Main articles: English Tseng, French Talasides, Dutch Tseng, AFJAT

On March 31, 1894, the UK took control of its Yuzo Treaty territory and established English Tseng, a colony of the UK. France renamed its territory to the Talasides on June 28, establishing the French Talasides (Talasidés français). The Dutch would establish Dutch Tseng (Nederlands-Tseng) on February 14, 1903.

In 1949, Tseng, along with, were countries to escape to, as Mao Zedong and his communists had won the.

In 1973, France and England decided to merge their colonies into one to have more power over the Tseng independence movement, creating the AFJAT (Anglo-French Joint Administration of Tseng). That would prove to be a fatal mistake, as Tseng nevertheless declared independence on July 17, 1976.

Geography
Tseng is a rectangular-shaped landmass in the Pacific Ocean 2130 km (1324 mi) southeast of Tokyo, Japan. There are distinct regions of Tseng. First, at the north (Dutch) end of the island you have the Van Wittek Mountains, similar to the Appalachians. The north is misty and rainy. It's also cold. The average in January is -10 C (14 F). The central and west part is mostly forest. That was the land that the Yuzo Treaty gave the natives. At the south (French) end the area is beachy, hilly, and more Mediterranean. The east (English) part is mainly of plains and hills. That's where the capital, Tseng City is.

Highways
The A1 highway, from Tseng City to Douet, is the busiest highway in Tseng. It traverses the island from west to east. There are plans to upgrade the highway into a motorway with no at-grade intersections, however there are concerns for wildlife. Currently the only parts of the highway that are fully upgraded are Tseng City, Pushan, Huanzhou, and Baumtheok.

The largest and most busiest airport is Zhu Tseng International Airport in Tseng City.

Sea
Tseng is a popular choice for cruise ship travelers. Ferries connect the main island to outlying islands.

Flag
The flag of Tseng is a horizontal tricolour. The colours are: Red, white, and blue. Red represents freedom, blue represents determination and hardiness of the indigenous tribes, and white represents purity. This flag has been used since the 1000s.

Netherlands and Luxembourg flags
The Tseng flag is similar to the Dutch and Luxembourg flags, however, it is simply just a coincidence. The only difference is that the red and blue are switched around and the blue is darker (lighter for the Dutch flag). However, it has not stopped people from advocating the change of the flag.
