The Nation of Gan is a member of the Chinese Union. It was formed as a league of the three main Chinese groups in the area - the Hakka, the Gan, and the Xiang. Officially, Gan is not named after the Gan ethnic group, but for the river flowing through the country, from whence the Gan ethnic group also derives its name. Even now, in rural areas, the three groups are still live in separate areas, but there is a lot of mixing in the city.
