Tang Dynasty: Considered a Golden Age of China, some scholars insist that it held around 50% of the world's wealth. It was home to the Silk Road. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was a dream country. Japan willingly copied the Tang's clothing, culture, and architecture. The Tang was a superpower, only rivaled by the Abbasid Caliphate. It was a time of great military and cultural superiority. The ideal country, and the capital, became one of the first great multicultural cities - Indians, Persians, and Jews lived there, with a total of 1 million people.
