Song survive and become Constitutional Monarchy by 1600

So IOTL, the Qing took over the Ming during the Ming-Qing wars (1616-1683). But IITL, Song China is alive since the Mongols never become powerful and it occupies all of the Qing Dynasty's land, plus Burma, Hokkaido, Philippines (ITTL Magellan never came and introduced Christianity), Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, New Zealand, Bangladesh, West and East Bengal, Kashmir, Sri Lanka, Australia, Kamchatka Peninsula, and the modern States of Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, and Idaho, the Ir tusk area, and has 400 million people. It also has steam-powered ships, better rifles than Europe, and still has universal welfare like the Song did IOTL (though they also have the predecessor to universal healthcare). However, what few minorities there once were are now wiped out (so bye bye Manchus and Mongols). Foot binding is now forbidden, and China has a literacy rate of 65% for men and 50% for women due to expansion of examinations due to rise in wealth.


A "Imperial Chief-Representative" is installed (their version of a prime minister) in 1600, a woman by the name of Dushang Beifong. A "Imperial Court of Governor-Representatives" is also installed, with 100 Governor-Representatives who not only each maintained a province, but helped make decisions in the Imperial Court along with the Chief-Representative. The current Empress is Mei Xia, women have better rights, and China has by far the highest GDP per person on the Earth.


I hope to god this is better than my previous thread.

There's no way China could keep hold on all those different places. And why would their GDP per person be by far the world's highest? Surely other countries would adopt their technology.
 
You realise that essentially gives them control of the Entire Pacific, and like 1/2 the Indian Ocean. Such an area of control is just impossible. And why do Women have better rights? Why is their steam ships? Why are rifles better than Europe? How are they able to wipe out minorities in the 1600s, and not small ones either, ones in remote and isolated areas, like the Mongols. Why are all major leaders women? Why is GDP per capita the highest in the world? How does this even happen? Why?!?!?!??!

I mean this has to just be Hanwank.

He brought up in his other thread the possibility of genocide and was basing his timeline off of a campaign in a video game he played. It would be pointless to continue this thread without a link to that post so I linked it. There is no nuance to this other than the OP wanting us to create a great big China for him.

How about instead of communist, this Song empire just becomes a constitutional monarchy, but still genocides minorities. I was inspired by a hoi4 mod i was playing called 1632, a world on fire, as i played China, am now constitutionalist, and have taken over the territories mentioned at the top.

Isn't 1632 the Eric Flint, America Hoorah time travel fan fic?
 
yep. Alo, look up the song dynasty's achievement they could've industrialized if the mongols didn't destroy everything

I highly doubt this, for the simple reason that to early Industrialise requires large quantities of Coal, that are easy to access. However, China's coal deposits are primarily up the Yangtze, which makes it difficult to bring down, as near the end of the Yangtze the riverbed is quite close, and so the river is very strong, making it unsuited to transporting things up the river.
