About New Asia[]
New Asia is believed to be the continent Asia. The Great Wall of China runs under halfway through the middle of it, implying it owns territory further North than modern day China, in current Mongolia and Russia and further East, possibly into Kazakhstan and India, although it is never specified.
New Asia is known to be lead by a president.
In New Asian weddings, it is traditional to use a lot of red, and the groom brings gifts to the bride's friends as a thank you for allowing her to marry him.
In the first, New Asia was at war with Illéa, supposedly due to issues with trade agreements. Throughout the first three books, the war seems to worsen, although, it is revealed that a lot of it was only fought in rural areas. Elise Whisks, one of the competitors in the Selection, has ties to New Asia, which is the reason why King Clarkson chose her to become one of the Six Elites. After Maxon Schreave became king, he drew up a truce between the two countries and enlisted Elise as an ambassador, and the war was ended. In The Heir the two countries are approaching a trade agreement, although they have no idea if it is going to work.
