Goes back to Genghis Khan days. When he had conquered most of Asia, he found it too much for himself to look after everything. He appointed his 3 sons to look after the 3 kingdoms.
China was called the Yellow Kingdom.
Ukraine and central areas was the Red Kingdom.
Northern India was the Green Kingdom.
At that time, Russia was not considered being worth conquering as the Russ tribes barely managed to scrape a living and had nothing worth taking. It was much later that Russia became a lot better and eventually became the White Kingdom.
