		The empire was governed by a non-democratic parliamentary-style central administration called Kurultai in which the Mongol chiefs met with the Great Khan to discuss domestic and foreign policies.
		The four descendant empires were the Mongol-founded Yuan Dynasty in China, the Chagatai Khanate, the Golden Horde that controlled Central Asia and Russia, and the Ilkhans who ruled Persia from 1256 to 1353.
		A number of principles by which the empire was ruled continue to be emulated in modern times, and form the basis of several principles of modern democratic states.

	Name of China in various languages - Encyclopedia, History and Biography
		The "land of the Seres" became known in the Europe as the "Empire of Cathay," based on the name "Khitan", who were a dominant tribe in Northern China at the time of Marco Polo's expeditions in the Middle Ages.
		In English and in several other European languages, the name "Cathay" became widely used for all of China largely as a result of translations of the adventures of Marco Polo, which used this word for northern China.
		The division of North China and South China under the Jinn Dynasty and Song Dynasty weakened the dogma that China should be unified, and it was common for a time to call the politically disparate North and South by different names.

		The unification of China 221 BC under the First Emperor marked the beginning of imperial China, a period that lasted until the fall of the Qing Empire in 1912.

		How Cathay came to be this almost anti-Thean environment where there are no bargainers and none of the supernatural influences seen in the rest of the world I don't know.
		For the players, cathay is similar to the Legend of 5 rings, a place to go but to be aware that you are in strange land.
		Here in spain, there are a very few books of Cathay, may be 20 all over the country, which means that we use Cathay as a mistic place away from the adventurers, and only used when the party has grown enough as a Team, which means more than 6 months of play.
