China (Louisiana Revolution)

China, or the Republic of China, is a very large nation situated over a vast amount of area in eastern, central, and southeast Asia. It is one of the few fascist states in the world and is the only fascist state remaining in Asia. It is a single party dictatorship with a federal oligarchy and council of advisors to the President, who enjoys total executive authority over the state. China is a nation that has thrived as a military state for many years, regardless of the great and peaceful civilizations throught the history of the nation. It has a GDP of $13.032 trillion US dollars, making it the second largest economic entity in the world, lagging behind only Louisiana, although it is projected to overtake the nation within a few years.

China's recent history is a sad one, at least, depending on one's perspective. In 1912, the Chinese dissolved the Qing dynasty in hopes of creating a prosperous republic, but the first President, Sun Yatsen, was overthrown by a militarist group that originated in Maratha, transforming the nation into a single party state ruled by a group of wealthy officials and a President, although maintaining the illusion of Republicanism. The Chinese later regained control of their nation in 1924, and lived relatively peacefully until World War II, which saw the rise of fascism and massive war and conquest and oppression.

Since then, the Chinese have made great contributions to humanity to be sure, although their own freedoms are lacking and they repeatedly score very low on the quality of life survey. Chinese people do enjoy a high standard of living generally, but their freedoms are severely limited and pollution runs rampant due to overpopulation and factory cities.

China's area of expertise is in technology, both civilian and military. Their military technology allows them to maintain dominance over their eastern and southern neighbors (Japan and Indonesia), while their civilian technological advancements allow for more efficient use of resources and their enormous economy.
