CONFEDERALISM IN THE MYEONG COMMONWEALTH
The Myeong Commonwealth is the world’s foremost Confucian micronation, uniting provinces, protectorates, and associated states—collectively termed confederal constituents—across Asia, Europe, and North America. Bound by three Instruments of Commonwealth (the Constitution, recognition of the Myeong Emperor as suzerain, and membership of the Confederal Senate—these entities regularly send “tributary missions” to the Emperor to affirm their shared unity.

His Majesty’s Government at Gyeongsa, led by a Prime Minister elected by and accountable to the House of Commons, holds exclusive authority over four pillars that sustain the common good: common security under unified command, a common foreign policy, a common market with customs union, single currency, and free movement of goods, services, capital, and labour, and common public morals that enshrine human dignity from conception to natural death, the natural family, filial piety, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and reverence for Heaven. In all else, the decentralised Constitution applies the principle of subsidiarity, devolving power to the lowest feasible level.

Provinces and protectorates enjoy broad legislative autonomy (including over taxation, healthcare, and education), elect Commons representatives, and must approve constitutional amendments via the Confederal Senate. Associated states retain near-full sovereignty, contribute no taxes, maintain self-defence forces and limited treaty-making powers, may opt out of individual confederal laws, and enjoy stronger protections for indigenous languages, and traditions; in return, their citizens cannot vote in Commons elections but hold equal Confederal Senate representation.

Judicial power is primarily local; only cases involving confederal law may reach the Supreme Court of Justice, whose rulings bind the entire Commonwealth. Admission of new subjects and regulated secession require a two-thirds majority of the bicameral Commonwealth Assembly.

Open to all regardless of ethnic or geographic background, the Myeong Commonwealth is a prosperous, morally coherent parliamentary democratic meritocracy that safeguards individual dignity, freedom of conscience, the universal moral order, and restrained government while securing fundamental rights under the rule of law. Its sophisticated yet profoundly decentralised structure unites diverse peoples in p ordered liberty and enduring stability.

The Ming Tributary System


The confederal structure of the Myeong Commonwealth draws inspiration from the tributary system perfected by China’s Ming Empire (1368–1662), widely regarded as a model of sophisticated and humane diplomacy rooted in Confucian principles of benevolence and harmony.

Under this system, the Ming court positioned itself as the cultural and moral centre of the civilised world. Neighbouring rulers, from Joseon Korea to polities in Southeast Asia, voluntarily sent regular embassies bearing tribute. In return, the emperor granted them titles, seals of authority, calendars, lavish gifts and valuable trading rights.

Far more than a vehicle for economic exchange or dominance, the system emphasised ritual, reciprocity and mutual respect. Vassal states acknowledged Ming cultural superiority through formal acts of deference, while the emperor assumed the role of benevolent suzerain, bestowing protection and prestige.

This carefully calibrated framework fostered lasting stability across East Asia, discouraged conflict and promoted cultural exchange, embodying a Confucian vision of orderly and peaceful interstate relations.
