The Peony of Huawan

Coronation

Royal Palace of Huawan, Lian.

In accordance to Peonic lineage and royal ancestry, Yan was not supposed to have claim to the position of The Peony and remain a princess of the empire. Her oldest brother, Ryuunosuke Yan, and her oldest sister, Shizuka Rowena (née Yan) was the crown prince and the crown princess, respectively. As such she was reportedly excused from the royal tutelage which was subjected to crown prince and the crown princess of Huawan.

In 2011 after the massive HIA 311 crash that killed the crown prince of Huawan, Ryuunosuke Yan, the oldest sister, Shizuka Rowena was next in line to inherit the Peocracy. However the untimely demise of the Empress Dowager Lingxin Yan in 2011, and the death of The Peony Akane Yan and Lord-Professor Hikari Yan in 2014 leaves the Peocracy without a head of state. The royal council enacted martial law until a new monarch was coronated, and that the Royal Premier, Lord-Admiral Zheng He, was to handle state matters.

Upon the approach towards Princess Shizuka Rowena and her coronation. A secret agreement was brokered between the princess and the government of Hammerstar. In the 2014 Winter address to the People's Council, Princess Shizuka unveiled that she refused The Peonic throne and that her dual citizenship as a Hammerstarian hinders her claim to the throne. Her subsequent departure in January 2015 meant that Yan was next in line for the throne. Yan was reportedly distraught by the entire event.

Yan's coronation as The Peony of Huawan, 2015

Although she accepted the throne, she was absent at her supposed coronation a month after her oldest sister rejected the title. The country was under the Royal Premier, Zheng He for a full year, until Yan came back to public light in the 2015 Spring Festivals as the unofficial monarch.

Yan was crowned The Peony of Huawan on the March 3rd 2015. She gave her first address in the extraordinary meeting of the Peonic Council. Afterwards, she appeared before the diplomatic corps, court, etc. in the Royal Palace where she gave a speech. Both the meeting and ceremony at the Royal Hall were broadcast live on television.

Following the ceremonies, she appeared on the balcony to acknowledge gathered crowds, and ended her speech with a promise that "We will do our best to ensure the welfare of the Peonic state and her interests, met."

Reign

When Yan ascended the throne, plans were already in place to increase further autonomy of the eastern government and the cooperatives, which will stabilize the overly centralized power balance in Huawan. Yan has advocated the increasing autonomy of the regions by reintroducing the administrator system to streamline legislation and communication from governors to prefectures. Her establishment of the Eastern government of Huawan is also an unprecedented move.

Yan's reign is also marked with increased communication towards other countries and the end of isolation towards international politics. Her staunch actions led to immense diplomatic relations with other states, including Huawan's role in the founding of the World Forum. In her current reign she has done more diplomatic visits than her mother and grandmother combined. She also introduced the "cooperative" initiative, in which Huawan could cater to client states to become a royal dependence of The Peocracy, with Huawan providing defence, international representation and further requested agreements made, each with varying powers. Her signature "Railway Diplomacy" is famous in the region, with Huawan attaining multiple railway contracts in the region and strengthening Peonic diplomatic relations with other nations.

Locally Yan is a strong advocate for environmental protection, healthcare for all, increased sustainable industrial investments and infrastructure development. She also has remarkably increased the defence budget of Huawan, more considerable than her predecessor. Yan has also advocated for increased agricultural and fishery reforms for sustainable food development in the nation.

Though in practice she was almost always the leader of the imperial government. Since the adoption of the current "ruler's edict", the Royal Peonic Imperial Government would undergo a 4 year mandatory review. An amendment by Yan in 2017 led to a 4 year mandatory neutral review of The Peony and her rule by the Imperial council of Huawan, which would apply to subsequent monarchs after her. This led to a monumental decrease of the Peonic monarch's absolute power in the Peocracy. Additionally, the amendment to the ruler's edict meant that bills proposed by the Imperial council do not need imperial stamp, but bills passed must need the royal assent from The Peony of Huawan.

Yan is the foremost representative of Huawan and pays state visits abroad and receives those to Huawan, she opens the annual session of the Imperial Council, chairs the Royal Council held during a change of Government, holds regular Information Councils with her cabinet and receives Letters of Credence of foreign ambassadors to Huawan and signs those of Huawan to foreign nations. Yan also holds the highest ranks in the three branches of the Peonic Military; this is due to the fact that she was the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and therefore she was given military command authority. Although she has relegated duties to the Imperial Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Lord-Field Marshall Roland Young.

Although her reign was mired with continuous reforms of what is commonly seen as an archaic rule of law in Huawan, Yan also advocated the abolishment of official political parties in Huawan in 2017 which shocked the international community. Yan was cited that "our officers in the people's council and the royal council must take the needs of the people they represent in utmost priority, not the needs of a non-Peonic agenda or a political interest group that may harm the very people it serves." The move was seen as a similarity with Lingxin's amendment edict which postpones the political parties of Huawan from the attempted communist and capitalist revolutions in 1973.

Yan's reign also restricts further autonomy and civil liberties that may be enjoyed by most in The South Pacific. Primarily in regards to homosexual marriage and birthright citizenship. Although her proponents state that The Peony also enacted laws that forbids the discrimination of LGBTQA+ community, she was also reportedly hesitant to provide marriage rights as well. Furthermore, Yan has continued to ban birthright citizenship in Huawan, and reformed immigration laws pertaining to it.

Yan's increased expenditures for the government also worried economists and observers alike. Fearing that the plans for growth and progress in Huawan may be going too fast for comfort.
