New Promise Mandarinate

Formed during the Great Leap Outward in 1999, the New Promise Mandarinate is the first ever Kuei-jin Court outside of the Middle Kingdom. It’s influence in the Middle Kingdom is minimal at most, due to the fact it is more considered a Kuei-jin “colony” than an actual established territory. Nevertheless, the Anarchs and the Camarilla are not very happy about the idea that they have to share the United States with some freakish Cathayans, who didn't want them in their territory either.

History
Although the invasion of Los Angeles met with terrible casualties from the clashes with Anarch forces already in control of the American West Coast of California, they managed to establish control in San Francisco and attain a pocket within the LA Chinatown district. Even some Kindred leaders surrendered to them. The majority of the Court is dominated by the Blood Courts of Hong Kong, though influence from the Japanese Uji and other Courts have started to seep in.

The remnants of the Anarch Free State try to fight the invaders, but the Free state is destroyed and so, the Kinderd are forced to guerilla tactics against their new oppressors

Organizattion
The New Promise Mandarinate is very hierarchic structured. On the top sits the Ancestor, who has a similar role as the Prince of a Camarilla town. His direct subordiantes are the Mandarins, who fulfill similar duties as ministers or the primogen council.

The bulk of Kuei-Jin within the Mandarinate is formed of Jina, who advise their younger brethren and are well-versed with the ways of their Dharma, and Disciples, who have just advanced beyond simple Chih-Mei and have started their Road to the Hundred Clouds.

Because some Kuei-jin have been born outside the Middle Kingdom, they have not been regulary educated about Hunderd Clouds and as a result, they haven't a Dharma to follow. These creatures are called Kanbujjan.
