	Agatean Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Agatean Empire is a fictitous country that occupies the Counterweight Continent of Terry Pratchett's Discworld.
		The Empire was founded by the Emperor One Sun Mirror thousands of years ago and until fairly recently it was ruled by a number of constantly fighting and somewhat psychotic noble families (the Hongs, the Sungs, the Fangs, the Tangs and the McSweeneys), all jockeying to be emperor.
		It was felt by many of the peasantry that he was the reincarnation of One Sun Mirror (or rather, due to the complexities of Agatean belief, that One Sun Mirror would be the "preincarnation" of Cohen).

	Cohen the Barbarian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Interesting Times Cohen became Emperor of the Agatean Empire, having conquered it with his Silver Horde of eight other elderly barbarians.
		This was intended to be a sort of retirement plan, but it did not last and Cohen and his chums abandoned the Empire in The Last Hero, in which Cohen decides to express his displeasure with the modern world by "returning fire to the gods".
		She was last seen in an amorous relation with Nijel the Destroyer.

		There is revolt afoot in the Agatean Empire, but because everyone is so polite, adhering to strict social rules, revolutionary slogans are reduced to chants such as "Extra Luck to the People's Endeavor!" Consequently, things are a bit stalled.
		Naturally, Lord Hong's plan to take over the Empire is perfect except for one tiny detail: he didn't reckon on Rincewind and his remarkable genius for landing on his feet -- well, more or less, and often in the middle of literal or figurative unpleasant substances, but on his feet nonetheless.
		Rincewind is kept running on a wild and breathless chase from Red Army to Silver Horde to the Imperial Palace -- with a few prison stops in between -- until yet another entirely unintentional discovery turns the tables on Lord Hong.

		And while those Roman legionaries from Aswan, in Egypt, kept themselves warm in the watchtowers, perhaps quite a contingent of hairy-armed Picts could have swarmed over a remote part of the wall, in the dark, and then made their way south to rape and pillage, just as they do in modern-day Carlisle, today.
		The Wall was expanded considerably by the Ming Dynasty, which began in the late 14th century after the collapse of the Mongolian empire.
		It was indeed intended as a defensive structure to guard the heart of the Chinese empire.

		Located far away on another continent, the Agatean Empire is immensly wealthy, much due to the plentiful Sapient Pearwood resources within their territory, and their inherent Agatean Wealth wonder (equivalent to Adam Smith's).

		But the Empire had been in unchanged existence for thousands of years, courtesy and a respect for protocol were part of its very fabric, and by the sound of it the revolutionaries had yet to master the art of impolite slogans.
		If you lived in the Empire then you learned how to make soup out of pig squeals and swallow spit because that's how it was done, and you were bullied by soldiers all the time because that was how the world worked.
		The Agatean word for foreigner is the same as the word for ghost, and only one brush stroke away from the word for victim.

		It'll start to make sense.) The Agatean Empire is the Discworld equivalent of the East - there are elements of Japanese-style culture, but it is mainly a play on China.
		The Red Army's immediate goal is to bring down the Empire for the sake of the people; the laws are harsh and arbitrary, and the Empire rules not only through punishment, but through fear.
		The Army's belief that the country will be better off under new rule is genuine, but there are a couple of exchanges that indicate that some members have other things on their minds.

		Rincewind the "Wizzard" is sent to the Agatean Empire (Discworld's equivalent of Medieval China) and once again gets caught in one of them things he hates so much, in an adventure.
		In this novel, Rincewind, the hapless wizard from Unseen University in Ankh Morpork, is summoned back from his desert island only to be sent on a mission to the Agatean Empire.
		I think the first 50-100 pages are the best, purely from the point of view that Rincewind has just been given the chance to repopulate an entire race with three stunning Amazonian warrior princesses, before he is whisked off to Ankh Morpork by Hex and the wizards.

		When you hear a man shouting "Forward, brave comrades!" you'll see he's the one behind the bloody big rock and the one wearing the only really arrow-proof helmet!" It may not be the most profound thought in the world but it is certainly one that bears repeating.
		Rincewind isn't a tourist in the Agatean Empire, as Twoflower was in Ankh Morpork.

		He can maintain a balance between a reflection of ancient and modern China [sorry, Agatean Empire], bring forth a string of fascinating personalities and turn an impossible situation into reality without missing a beat.
		At the same time we are given a dose of chaos theory, familiar images of today's world politics and some philosophical images of the universality of human nature.
