Nanchang (1983: Doomsday)

while no longer in possession of the city of Nanchang, the State formed there by WarLord Hu Wang continues to call itself after the city that supplied most of its power. while the city remained in chaos for 15 years, The region united in the late 1990's against the attacking Dragon kingdom to the east, and a leader named Hu Wang pulled a coup that put him in charge of the movement. In the course of the war, the Dragon Kingdom assasinated Hu Wang and his brother, He Wang, led his people south towards into the former city of Ghanzhou, which had been bombed 15years earlier. This state of Nanchang has been mostly held together by He Wang, who despite his brutal background, has won the respect of his country in the face of more brutal enemies, particuarly the Dragon Kingdom.

History
for a complete history of Nanchung,see History of Nanchung. Nanchung was a prosperous city before Doomsday, but the city rapidly collasped in its aftermath, over one hundred giant gangs occuping different parts of the city and the sourounding country side in a complex and brutal struggle for survival and sumpremacy. The populace was decimated, but eventual a uniform customs emerged reguarding the population, based around the two ideas of an "conquest tax" and a "maintainance tax". In 1999, the region learned of the nature of the conquest of the dragon kingdom to the east, and staged a mass invasion. Hu Wang, a local leader, united many of the troops and took control of the area in 2000. In 2001, Hu Wang was assasinated, and his brother He Wang staged a grand migration to the south, out of the reach of the Dragon Kingdom. This time was an incrediable ordeal,s and gained He Wang the loyalty of the nation. They took up residence in the environs of Ghanzhou, a city destroyed on Doomsday, conquered the local population, and reorganized themselves to give the population who made the move possible more rights.

Economics
Like most societies in Post DoomsDay china, Nanchang focuses on two main products: rice and bullets. The economy is rigidly controlled by He Wang, but the nation seems to be pulling out of the crisis in 2001 when they pulled out of Nanchang. much of the military has been incorperated into the aggricultural and munitions production industries in a rotation involving "rice duty", "bullet duty", "police duty", and "battle duty". the line between the peasents and the military has thinned as the people have become more loyal, though a careful distinction is made between the people of Nanchang and the newly conquered populace.

Military and Government
The Nanchang military includes two seperate forces, a "People's Army" (PA) that spends much of its time policing and manufacturing arms, and the elite "Tigers", the core of the nation born in the war against the Dragon Kingdom. Each of the two armies maintains a seperate structure, but the PA mostly provides support for the Tigers, who do most of the fighting. The political structure is entirely centered around the military, the Tigers instigating a brutal control of the hinterland based on slave settlements, while the PA controls the core of the nation and does its best to try and incorperate the conquered citizens into the nation. The Two forces are led by Generals appointed by Hu Wang, who cordinates the two forces and has the intense loyalty of each. there is not as of yet a mechanism to replace Hu Wang in case of his death, wich is seen as the greatest weakness of Nanchung, but no comprimise appears possible between the civillian minded PA and the Authoritarian Tigers. He Wang has no male heirs, and each Army belevies its current leader should be the rightful heir to the nation. Some discussion of a joint rule has been mentioned, but it has been argued that such an arrangement would divide and destroy the nation in an eventual civil war.
