Philippines needs a neighbor; and me a alternate nation! No one can be lonely around here, haha! __________________________________________________________________________________________ [hider=The Third Republic of China] "Only Powerful People Have Liberty" -Dr. Sun Yat-sen, established the Republic of China, and overthrew over 4,000 years of Dynastic Chinese rule. [hider=Government Information] Name: Third Republic of China Motto: Established by the People, to establish values."

[/hider] [hider=Background of the Republic] History of Your Nation since start of Great Depression: Since the overthrowing the deprived, economically destroyed 1926 government led by fascist Chiang Kai-shek that overthrew the 1911 government; and a destroyed economy to the new Third Government; attempts with socialism as a way to bring the government to its original condition of Pre-1840s, with purging of many fascist government officials like Chiang Kai-shek under the new government, the Third Republic also seized most government property and created a new currency; "Third Yuan", as further shedding its government's crippled self, but the government still finds itself, with heated border conflicts and tensions with warlord states like Manchuria, Inner-Mongolia, Tibet, and Xinjiang. While still attempting to find ways to re annex the broken states like those, as well as Outter Manchuria that declared Independence in 1911. The government's current structure and model is called often a "Semi-Democratic State", with most parties existing being socialist; and those who aren't have little to no power; with the majority party and party that founded the Third Republic; the "Socialist Tongmenghui Party" founded off Sun Yat-sen's principles using Sun's Tongmenghui Party that existed up till the early 1900s; as a basis. Such as Sun Yat-sen's three principles, "Nationalism, Democracy, and People's Livelihood [Socialism]". Though with states like Japan, who has seen weakening since the depression, and without a U.S. trading with them and a crippled world, the idea of Japanese imperialism is a thing of the past. with losing Taiwan and Korea; and Taiwan becoming under TROC control, The new government primarily focuses on working with their former enemy, and defending itself from unrest, and warlord cliques attempting to assert dominance over China, while still battling the remnants of European colonies; like British Hong Kong and Portuguese Macau. As well as the re-annexation of the Communist clique; which allowed it to reassert more socialist ideological ideals on the people, the government has tight control over the economy; with high interference to help control the economy during a crippling time. As well as high militarism, and industrialization policies to modernize the army; the country is a possible war machine to unite the warlord cliques in non-controlled regions of China. [/hider] [hider= The People's Revolutionary Army of China] With around 71,391 people in the army's volunteer forces [Conscription is not mandated due to it is not a full-war time for the country], the people guard the borders and deal with, "unrest" in the name of protecting the country, and the people. The army, which is filled with ideals of the Tongmenghui; and 95% of military generals and officials are associated with the party. [img]http://www.19111010.com.tw/images/flag.jpg [/img] [/hider] [hider=Government Propaganda and Relation with Itself] The government spends 10% of it's GDP; dedicated to investing time to make the Chinese people think the government is the best in the world with the best economy; and distancing itself claiming the 1926 government was a shame government, and that the true ROC was the 1911-1926 government and the Third Republic. It as well invests heavily in claiming the Europeans as "Colonizers of China" and still are plotting with overthrowing China for a European colony. The government, is heavily controlled by the Socialist Tongmenghui; who goes as far as investing false democracy to imitate the 3rd policy of Sun Yat-sen, to make itself look like a legitimate successor of China. Think about it like this; this is a Great Depression Era North Korean styled state. [/hider] [hider=Political Parties] This is the order of political parties according to their power in government. - Socialist Tongmenghui Party [84%] - Worker's Party of China [10%] - The Democratic League of the People's China [4%] - OTHER PARTIES IN THE GOVERNMENT [2%] [/hider] "The Revolution has not yet succeeded. Comrades, you must carry on!" -Dr. Sun Yat-sen [/hider] I think for my first Alt. History nation, I did pretty good for a background!
