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 system of the Myeong Commonwealth drew elements from the tributary system of the Ming Empire (1368–1662), which stands as a paragon of enlightened international statecraft, embodying the Confucian ideals of humaneness and harmony of peoples. 

Rooted in the conception of the Ming as the Celestial Realm, or the epitome of human civilisation, this system facilitated diplomatic and economic relations between the Ming court and its neighbouring states. 

Not a mere mechanism of trade or political dominance, the Ming tributary system was a sophisticated framework that promoted mutual respect, cultural exchange, and the diffusion of Confucian virtues across East Asia. 

The system was refined by the Ming Empire into an intricate ritual of diplomacy, wherein vassal states, from Joseon Korea to the distant polities of Southeast Asia, voluntarily offered tribute to the emperor, acknowledging his moral and cultural supremacy. 

In return, the Ming court bestowed lavish gifts, titles, and trading privileges, fostering bonds of loyalty and reciprocity. This exchange, governed by the Confucian principle of (propriety, elevated interstate relations into a moral dialogue, reinforcing the Ming Emperor’s role as the humane Suzerain of the wider civilised world. 

The Ming tributary system’s emphasis on ritual and deference ensured stability, discouraged aggression, and cultivated an ethos of peaceful coexistence, reflecting the dynasty’s commitment to the Confucian vision of a harmonious global community.
