Jiangsu (1983: Doomsday)

The People's Kingdom of Jiangsu is a nation located along the coast of northern Jiangsu province, and southern Shandong Province. It is known more commonly simply as Jiangsu.

Organization
Jiangsu is a Socialist Constitutional Monarchy. The monarch is hereditary and his heirs are trained in administration and diplomacy since childhood. The country is organized into three branches of government, the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. The King is the Executive branch, and is responsible for foreign policy and defence. The Legislative brance is the People's Assembly, a democratically elected body of representatives, it is responsible for domestic policy. The Judicial are the judges of the kingdom, they interpret constitution and enforce the laws of the kingdom. This separation of powers is to ensure that no single branch can dominate the government and enforce its will on the people.

Politics
Jiangsu is a single party state, with all citizens desiring to enter political life required to be members of the Socialist Party of Jiangsu. Otherwise there are free democratic elections

Vassals
Due to its importance as a food producer, Jiangsu has come to great prominence and wealth in the region. With many of the regions in the area coming under the control of various city states following doomsday, some of these local governments have begun entering into fealty agreements with the King and People's Assembly. These agreements guarantee to the vassal access to Jiangsu's food stocks at a discounted price, and in return the vassal must cede 10% of any tax revenue's collected, must maintain a standing army, and said standing army must be at the call of the King and People's assembly of Jiangsu. The vassal is otherwise autonomous, but some vassals have begun negotiating for annexation into the Kingdom.

Economy
Jiangsu's economy is dominated by agriculture, but its agricultural dominance has lead it to great prosperity in the region. The two major cities in the kingdom, Lianyungang and Rizhao had major port facilites and some heavy industry, allowing Jiangsu to maintain an industrialized agriculture sector, with machine aided irrigation, harvesting, etc. This has allowed the food output of the nation to exceed its needs, and has become a major exporter of food to the local areas, especially the nearby Xuxhou and Yancheng. These cities have become so reliant on Jiangsu's foodstuffs, it has even lead to Xuxhou entering into a fealty agreement with the kingdom.
