The Republic of China is a nation located in South East Asia.

The current constitution was created in 1994, after the South Chinese Coup of 1990. It incorporates Southern China and Taiwan as one nation (excluding Hong Kong and Macau).

History[]

During World War III, the People’s Republic of China suffered nuclear strikes in the following cities:

  • Beijing
  • Lanzhou
  • Nanning
  • Jinan
  • Changchun
  • Lanzhou
  • Lhasa
  • Qingdao
  • Shenyang
  • Wuhan
  • Zhengzhou

As a result, communications were lost all over China. Taiwanese-supported rebels in the South overthrew the then current central authority. The rebels gained much land before their advance was stalled, then stopped by the PRC’s Forces.

After an agreement between the PRC and the Rebels was formed, the South Chinese Liberation Force (SCLF) set up a provisional government for four years.

After a referendum in South China, the SCPG (South Chinese Provisional Government) voted to join Taiwan in a new Republic of China.

Economy[]

The ROC has one of the most successful and biggest economies in the world. During WW3, Taiwan wasn’t hit by nuclear weapons at all. As a result of this, all Taiwanese Infrastructure remained. In Southern China, a few industrial centres still remained.

Electronics[]

The Republic of China is the largest producer of electronics in the world, with Taiwanese businesses controlling much of the market.

Funtech is the second-largest Video Game producer, after Nintendo. With companies such as Sega and Sony destroyed in WW3, Funtech grew into a large and successful company. In 1998, they released the Super A'Can, which was a smash hit in South China and Japan. In 2000, they released the Super A’Can in Europe and the Americas, which proved to be a outstanding success.

Funtech has released numerous consoles, such as the Funtech Wave in 2005 and the Funtech Star in 2011.

Military[]

The AFC (Armed Force of China) were formed in 1994 as part of the Unification Process. This combined the Taiwanese and the SCLF’s armed units.
