WCRB Report on China
With renewed contact with several nations within mainland China, a picture can be painted of what the Chinese political landscape looks like today. Keep in mind this map is constructed from both official reports, rumor, and hearsay.



The map shows us the location of nuclear strikes on the PRC, as well as several confirmed and rumored states within the former People's Republic of China. While there are many smaller city states, nomadic bands, and unorganized villages, these states reportedly are powerful enough to influence the allegiance of the smaller villages and cities, or are able to assert a measure of control over an area further from their center of power. The darker colors show the effective control of these states, while the lighter colors show either their sphere of influence (independent areas that defer to the more powerful nation), or regions of loose control. These states are:


 * Uyghur Socialist Republic - A Socialist republic and member of the Union of Sovereign Socialist Republics


 * Manchurian Socialist Republic - A Socialist republic and member of the Union of Sovereign Socialist Republics


 * Tibet - A constitutional monarchy located in the Tibetan plateau. (map shows sphere of influence)


 * People's Republic of Yunnan - A communist state evolved from the Provincial government of Yunnan province. (map shows loose control)


 * Nanchung - a military junta centered around the city of Nanchung (map shows loose control)


 * People's Republic of China - Some remnants of the Communist Party of China managed to organize themselves in the city of Taiyuan. The people's army there is currently attempting to establish control over Northern China. (map shows loose control)


 * People's Kingdom of Jiangsu - The people of the agricultural center of Northern Jiagsu province organized following the destruction of the PRC and decided that if a monarchy didn't work, a republic didn't work, and a communist state didn't work, why not take the best of each? The result was a socialist constitutional monarchy. Its location is such that it is poised to become an economic powerhouse in china due to its near monopoly on industrialized agriculture, which could lead it to be the major food exporter of the region. (Map shows sphere of influence)


 * Dragon State - An authoritarian state of which there is little information other than the fearful reports of people who have ventured too near. (map shows loose control


 * Hainan - A republic that arose from the province of Hainan


 * Macau - A oligarchic meritocratic city state based in the city of Macau. (map shows loose control)


 * Taiwanese Republic of China - The successor to the Republic of China. The democracy situation of the nation has improved dramatically, and they have begun reclaiming parts of mainland china. (map shows sphere of infuence)
