It’s home to the Li-Ren, Hou-zi, Oyashimans and many other travellers who have found home with its unique culture, natural landscapes and laid-back lifestyle. Yong-Ping found its humble origins in Arcas, where it started off as just a small embassy, eventually growing to encompass Tai Ping District in Talons Port. However, whilst many enjoy the special experience that our community offers, others preferred conflict targeted specifically at the Eastern cultures. Due to an influx of inhabitants and discontent with the inaction regarding the protection of our people, the inhabitants of Tai Ping have decided to expand and establish a new home under the name of Yong Ping. A home that will put its people first, celebrate the culture, and continue to offer a one-of-the-kind experience found nowhere else on Almaris.

Settlement Government Structure Explanation: Yong-Ping government is centered around the Five Ministries, each headed by a Minister that make up the central governing body, and many Officers under said Ministries to assist in the smooth running of Yong-Ping City. Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Charged with political and diplomatic tasks, fostering good relations with other peoples and working together with other Ministries to better trade for Yong-Ping. Ministry of Defence: The main protectors and keepers of order in Yong-Ping. They are charged with arresting criminals, defending the city’s citizens, as well as escorting any important personages. Ministry of Rites: The most popular ministry, presiding over all cultural events and affairs. This will be from organising plays, education lectures, cultural rites, and the like. Ministry of Justice: The main legislative body of the city, charged with ensuring a balance between punishment and reward for the deeds of the city’s citizens. This ministry works in tandem with the Ministry of Defence to carry out its edicts. Ministry of the Interior: In charge of taxes, state economic welfare and the like. Stewards replace the Officers in the specific case of this Ministry. Settlement Builds and Infrastructure (photos required): How does this settlement offer a unique niche not already found in an existing polity on the server? Our roleplay is highly culture-centric and inspired by Asia. So far, the server is host to many Euro-centric roleplay hubs bar the Fakhr Oasis. Our culture as well as the characters offer a fresh contrast against the norm, with a heavy emphasis on arts, festivities, and the like that cannot be found anywhere else on the server. It is specifically because of our unique roleplay that our activity has been steady and has attracted many players. It is also due to the heavy Asian influence on our roleplay that lore-wise, it would be hard to feasibly fit us under any other nation. Furthermore, in order to continue providing LOTC with a unique experience such as ours, it would be more effective to allow such a community to exist under their full autonomy. How does your settlement tie to the greater lore and narrative set by the community on LotC?: Lore-wise, we are a farfolk culture that is heavily inspired by the Hou-zi. As time passed, our culture was spread, as well as our emphasis on trade and the arts. This has brought many races to live amongst the Li-Ren, such as elves, humans, and the occasional Hou-zi. Though the Hou-zi were shelved, the interest in that specific niche has not declined. In fact, our steady incline in activity has proven the opposite. Have you ever run a settlement on LoTC before and what experience do you have with leadership within roleplay communities among the current groups of players? No, but I am confident that the current community have found my leadership so far satisfactory. We have managed to grow Tai Ping from a group of less than 10 active players to where it is now, with over 100 members in our discord. Do you understand the metrics for maintaining activity and the grounds for settlement removal, along with the standing polity cap? Yes, we must maintain 1% global activity each week and pay 50 mina tax. An additional 50 mina is required if we have any tile improvements purchased. If we fail to meet these requirements, we have a 3 week ‘at risk period’ where our tile will slowly ‘collapse’. If nothing is done after one more week, the settlement will be evicted.
