Middle Bai Dynasty

The Middle Bai Dynasty, officially Dazhongbai (大中百), was an imperial dynasty of Bai that ruled from 1798 to 1922. Succeeding the Lin Dynasty, it was the first constitutional monarchy established on the political philosophy of Bai democracy set out by Prince Hu Fengyao and Ying Masun, marking a significant shift in the empire's political and social structure. The Middle Bai Dynasty ended with the Fascist Coup of 1922, although the exiled Emperor Yongren would continue claiming the throne until his death in 1931.

The Middle Bai Dynasty was established through the Huifu Revolution led by a group of influential noblemen and scholars. The Lin Emperor was forced to abdicate and his nephew Prince Hu rose to power as the Chenghong Emperor. Under the new government system modelled on various Ulethan powers, the emperor's powers were limited and subjected to the authority of the bicaramel legislature the Imperial Congress. The Middle Bai Dynasty also saw significant social changes such as the expansion of women's rights and educational reforms.

The Empire's economy also flourished during this period, as trade and commerce expanded, leading to a significant increase in prosperity for the Empire's citizens. However, many further political and social reforms suffered setbacks with conflicts between conservatives and progressives in the new Bai government which resulted in deep political turmoil in the waning days of the dynasty. Failure to adapt to the rapidly changing global economic system and the influx of foreign trade and investment led to economic instability. Despite attempts to strengthen democratic institutions and promote greater economical and political stability, the Dynasty ended with the 1922 Fascist Coup over fears of a communist takeover in the country.

Government
The Middle Bai Dynasty was the first semi-constitutional government in Bai history, modelled on the political philosophy of Bai democracy set out by Prince Hu Fengyao and Ying Masun. Under the Chenghong Constitution, the institutions of the Middle Bai Dynasty consisted of five branches of government: the Executive Yuan (cabinet and monarch), the bicameral Imperial Congress (parliament), the Judicial Yuan, the Censure Yuan (audit agency), and the Examination Yuan (civil service examination agency). The Head of State is the Emperor and the Chancellor (Zongli Dachen) leads the government.
