Adhering to the will of the emperor, the government promulgated the "Interim Regulations on the Promotion of Sports in the Tang Empire", and established the first Ministry of Culture and Sports in the world under the cabinet.

The Ministry of Culture and Sports is dedicated to the development of mass sports and professional competitions, the popularization and promotion of traditional Chinese culture, the strengthening of national physique, the promotion of sports exchanges between countries, and the community and popularization of sports.

The North American Professional Baseball League is a blockbuster initiative launched by the Ministry of Culture and Sports after the establishment of the Ministry of Culture and Sports, jointly launched by the North and South of the United States and Canada.

Many Chinese businessmen with a keen sense of smell took the lead, or registered and established professional teams, or invested in the operation of sports venues, or sponsored teams, setting off waves of investment in sports events, attracting more people to participate .

It was in this nationwide atmosphere that sports and various folk activities developed in full swing, greatly enriching the entertainment activities of the subjects of the empire, and living a prosperous life.

The North American integration policy promoted by the Tang Empire after the North American War, with the exception of the North and South of the United States, countries do not set up borders with each other, allowing free passage after simple border procedures, which greatly promoted the process of unifying the market.

Generally speaking

It only takes more than a dozen Tang Yuan to complete the customs clearance and border procedures, no need to apply in advance, and it is very convenient to do it at the border gates anytime.

However, if those who fail to perform border clearance procedures and enter without authorization are found, North American countries will uniformly impose high penalties, and the specific regulations vary.

Regulations of the Tang Empire;

If black people who are strictly forbidden to enter are found, they will all be thrown into hard labor camps. If white people only have foreign passports, Tang people, Indians or other Central Americans will be sentenced to community labor for one to three months and a fine of 5000 Tang meta-measures.

Regulations of the United States of America;

Violators of border clearance regulations are punishable by one week in prison and a fine of $2000.

Regulations of the United States of America;

Those who violate border customs clearance regulations will be punished with one to three months of agricultural labor and a fine of 3000 to 5000 US dollars, women and children will be halved.

Canada is more relaxed. Because it is located in a high-latitude cold zone, the outflow of British Canadian colonies is greater than the inflow, and there is a large labor gap.

Therefore, Canada only imposes a penalty of 50 pounds on those who violate the immigration regulations, without any other additional punishment measures.

Even so
It is also rare for people to cross the border to Canada without permission. Unless they are desperate gangsters or criminals on the run, no one wants to go to cold and lonely Canada to suffer.

The cultural and entertainment measures implemented in an all-round way not only greatly enriched the cultural and entertainment life in the native cities of the Tang Empire, but also increased the attractiveness of immigrants, making many white immigrants willing to live in the prosperous imperial metropolis.

According to the statistics;
In 1869, the total European population immigrated to North America was about 117.6 million, and about 1/3 of them flowed into the Tang Empire, mainly German, Irish and Italian immigrants. Among them, German immigrants preferred the Great Plains cities in central North America, such as Chicago, Detroit, Taoyuan and other cities.

in these cities
There are many communities and streets where German immigrants gather. There are no obstacles in life, it is easier to find a job, they can enjoy equal national treatment, and their lives are more comfortable.

Irish and Italian immigrants prefer the big cities on the west coast of the empire, such as Chang'an, Los Angeles, Portland, Vancouver, Seattle, etc., where the economy is prosperous and there are many job opportunities, and it is a relatively wealthy area in the empire's native tradition.
