The Imperial Jigh (Ybon: Kẽḍyeishợṛ Zyụu [kʏ̃.ɖei'ʂʰɒ̰ɽ zy̰:]) (IJ) is a supranational political, economic and cultural polity that is located primarily in Central Parshita headed by the Rapyud. The estimated total population of the union is about 300 million. The Imperial Jigh can be described as a sui generis political entity, forming its own independent political entity. The Imperial Jigh combines characteristics of both a federation and a confederation. By definition The Imperial Jigh is a separate nation and it is capable of acting as a single state and can be addressed as such in certain conditions.
The de jure leading state of the Imperial Jigh is the Imperial Seat of Jigh, the de jure leading authority is the Rapyud of the Imperial Seat of Jigh and the Imperial Jigh.
The Imperial Jigh is formed of the polity itself, the inherent leading state of Jigh and the sialage states that reside under the polity. Every sialage state under the Imperial Jigh acts as its own sovereign entity, free in their own affairs, but they must follow directives and policies set by the Imperial Seat of Jigh and the Rapyud.
On international agreements, both the sialage state and the Imperial Jigh are present, where the representative of the Imperial Jigh sets the terms for the Imperial Jigh and the sialage state representative sets the terms for the sialage state.
The Imperial Jigh consists of the territories of The Imperial Seat of Jigh and the sialage states of Gasherse, Kislyu, Sinyul, Sving, Tsineg, Yaphang and Zimong, as well as the territory of Nung Banyu.

Government
The highest ruling authority in the Imperial Jigh is the Rapyud. The Rapyud governs all of the realms by proxy through lower ranked individuals, institutions and governments, but can also extend his power and directly force authority over internal matters concerning the individual sialage state and or the Imperial Jigh as a whole.
The current Rapyud is Bṛaṇẽẽng who was coronated and crowned as the Rapyud during a lunar eclipse on the 10th of Febuary 1990.
The second highest ruling authority in the Imperial Jigh is the government of the Imperial Seat of Jigh. The Imperial Seat of Jigh is ruled by the Rapyud and (name depending) council of the appointees from each sialage state. It is the duty of the Imperial Seat of Jigh to govern itself and oversee all of the sialage states under the Imperial Jigh.
Under the oversight of the Rapyud and the Imperial Seat of Jigh exists the sialage states. Each sialage state exerts its own authority over its territory, internal matters and external affairs dependent on the sialage state. This includes policies and directives to the extent of choosing its own governmental systems.
Administrative divisions
The Imperial Jigh is divided primarily by its sialage states and the leading state. However, the leading state also sometimes refers to the Imperial Jigh as a whole.
The Imperial Jigh is officially divided into 8 states, 1 disputed territory and a special administrative region. The states divide into the Imperial Seat of Jigh, which itself is also the physical territory of the Imperial Jigh, and the sialage states. The disputed territory is X island, which is disputed between Tsineg and Yaphang. The special administrative region is Nung Banyu, which Yaphang considers it its province, although it is governed by Nung Banyu, which claims to be the legitimate representative of Nung Banyu and its territory under the Imperial Jigh.
Geographically, the Imperial Jigh can be divided into mainland Jigh and islandic Jigh. Mainland Jigh can be further divided into the "Outer Ring" and the "Inner Ring". In the Outer Ring are Sinyul and Tsineg, as well as Yaphang and Nung Banyu which are sometimes considered also a part of the Outer Ring. The Inner Ring consists of the states bordering Jigh, which are Gasherse, Kislyu, Sving and Zimong. Another classification is the distinction between old jigh territories and new jigh territories. Old jigh territories consist of Jigh and Kislyu, and new jigh territories consist of all of the other states and regions.

Architecture
Jigh architecture is rooted in the history, culture and religion of the territories and cultures within the Imperial Jigh. It is deeply intertwined with religious beliefs and the workings of the world through the viewpoint of religion and customs. Jigh architecture has many styles incorporated within it and can be divided into many different styles.
The main architectural styles within the Imperial Jigh are as follows in chronological order:
- Neolithic;
- Classical Darimic (3000 BCE - 1900 BCE);
- Classical Mbanic (1700 BCE - 1000 BCE);
- Upper Riverine (Jigh) ();
- Lower Riverine (Jigh) ();
- Classical (Jigh) ();
- XX (Empire) ();
- X
- Classical Jigh Revivalism ();
- Successionism ();
- Neo-Darimic ();
- Central Monolithic ();
- Coastal Monolithic ();
- Triumphalism ();
- Procession period ();
- Constructivism ();
- Minimalism/Functionalism ();
- Conservatism ();
- Neoclassical ();
- Post-Neoclassical ();
- Monolithic-Triumphalism ();
- Post-Monolithic-Triumphalism (XX - …);

The earliest known architecture was of wood, which did not survive due to the degrading and rotting nature of wood, making any early jigh architecture hard to come by. Instead, stone carved temples have survived throughout the ages, allowing for a deeper view into temple structure and composition. Many of these structures are still in use today, but are also limited in use due to the conservation policies set by the Imperial Seat of Jigh to protect historical landmarks.

Symbols
The Imperial Jigh uses many motifs and symbols gained from its long history and different cultures it has ruled over. Most of the standard symbols patterns are the personal royal motifs and symbols of previous Rapyuds, though most if not all of these symbols are still in use today in varying degrees.
