East Asia

People's Republic of China

Official Name: People's Republic of China, Republic of China (Democratic/Nationalist), Great Qing (Monarchist), Universal State (Fascist)

Ruling Party: Chinese Communist Party

Ideology: Maoism^note Communism

The largest country in the world in terms of population, the PRC is currently the dominant power in East Asia. Despite sharing the same ideology, the PRC and Soviet Union have remained bitter rivals since the Sino-Soviet split. The two countries continue to compete for influence in Asia.

---

• Civil War: While there is no active fighting between the two, the PRC still considers itself in a state of civil war against the Republic of China on the island of Taiwan.
• We ARE Struggling Together: The Soviet Union and PRC hate each other due to differences in opinion over the direction of communism. The Soviets continue to follow Marxism-Leninism, while the Chinese are loyal to Maoism. The two also compete for influence in Asia.

Li Zhanshu

Role: Head of State

Party: Chinese Communist Party

Ideology: Maoism^note Communism

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show} Hailing from the rural regions of the Hebei Province, Li Zhanshu joined the Chinese Communist Party during the height of the Cultural Revolution. Beginning in 1975 he methodically worked his way up from an ordinary party functionary to the provincial leadership, but in 1997 a conflict within the government led Zhanshu to be politically marginalized. The following year he left his home province to take up the regional leadership in Shaanxi, becoming known for his efficient economic planning and modernizing vision in Xi’an. In 2003 he was transferred to the northeastern province of Heilongjiang, becoming the new governor four years later. That same year the Chinese Communist Party took a drastic turn at the 17th National Congress, when the party adopted a plan for economic liberalization endorsed by the aging Chairman Li Peng. Serving as a member of the Central Committee, Zhanshu vocally endorsed the call for reforms. His economic expertise had made him one of the candidates to succeed Li Peng as chairman, and he wasted no time ingratiating himself with the party leadership. Zhanshu’s eventual succession to the position of chairman was confirmed at the congress and he wasted no time appointing economic planners and reforming the bureaucracy in order to prepare for economic liberalization. The reforms officially came into effect in 2009, to great results. But his shakeup of the party has also given rise to an unruly group of reformists centered around his old associate Xi Jinping. The Chairman must walk a fine line between radical reformers and Maoist hardliners while ensuring that economic progress continues steadily and control is maintained by the party.

Republic of China

Official Name: Republic of China, Great Qing (Monarchist), Chinese Socialist Republic (Revolutionary Socialist/Communist)

Ruling Party: Nationalist Party of China

Ideology: Military Autocracy^note Fascism

Following their defeat in the Chinese Civil War, Chiang Kai-shek and his remaining Nationalists fled to Taiwan. After Chiang Kai-shek's death, his son Chiang Ching-kuo became president and ushered in a new period of liberalization from 1975-1988 that saw the country democratize. This would not last following Ching-kuo's death, and a bloody military-backed coup by his grandson Chiang Hsiao-yen saw the nation go back to its authoritarian roots. Chiang Hsiao-yen has come to be widely hated for his actions, but the future is still uncertain for the Republic of China.

---

• Arch-Enemy: Unsurprisingly, the Republic of China is at odds with the People's Republic of China and has very frosty relations with them. The fact that they are now both at ideological extremes (the PRC is Maoist while the ROC is a far-right Military Autocracy) doesn't help.
• Be Careful What You Wish For: The general public in the Republic of China wanted a continuation of Chiang hereditary rule and a departure from democracy. They got a military dictatorship under a widely hated Bastard Bastard.
• The Exile: Taiwan is home to American expats who have brought along the entirety of the US Pacific Fleet after the Great American Collapse.
• Military Coup: Taiwan's very brief period of democracy ended in a bloody coup by Chiang Hsiao-yen and the ROC military.
• The Remnant: Taiwan is home to the last vestiges of the Kuomintang-led Nationalist government that ruled all of China from 1928, when they overthrew the Beiyang government, until 1949, when they lost to the Communist government in the Chinese Civil War. Likewise, they claim to be the sole remnant of the Republic of China, which was established in 1912.
• Short-Lived Leadership: Acting President Lee Teng-hui ruled for a measly two days before getting brutally murdered in the Military Coup.

Chiang Hsiao-yen

Role: Head of State

Party: Nationalist Party of China

Ideology: Military Autocracy^note Fascism

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show} After the death of Chiang Kai-shek, his son Chiang Ching-kuo became President of the Chinese Republic, continuing his father's authoritarian rule. However, during his rule from 1975 to 1988 the government inevitably opened itself up to political dissident and the establishment of powerful opposition within the country. Freedom of speech was enshrined in various laws and demonstrations against government policy were once again permitted for the first time in decades. Upon his own death, the grandson of Chiang Kai-shek won a power struggle to succeed him. While the former President's deputy Lee Teng-hui was slated to become his successor, there were still many within the Republic that demanded a presidential bloodline to last for decades onwards. A driving force behind this movement was the military, which stood alongside the late President's son Chiang Hsiao-yen in his bloody coup against the short-lived bensheng ren administration. In just two days Acting President Lee Teng-hui was murdered as well as a significant portion of the Executive Yuan. Eventually, the illegitimate son came out on top as China's victorious ruler, consolidating his power over the following years. Since those turbulent times the island nation has come to hate their President, and his own advisors are drifting away.

The current ruler of the Republic of China, an oppressive military dictator that is widely speculated to be the bastard son of former president Chiang Ching-kuo and a nurse. Taking power in a bloody military coup that saw the massacre of the Executive Yuan, Hsiao-yen has grown to be deeply unpopular with both the people and his own government officials.

---

• 0% Approval Rating: By the time the mod starts, the people of the Republic of China have grown to hate him. Even his supposedly loyal advisors are starting to drift away.
• Bastard Bastard: He's been speculated to be the bastard son of former president Chiang Ching-kuo, and also happens to be an autocratic military dictator that runs Taiwan like an isolationist hellhole.

Democratic People's Republic of Korea

Official Name: Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Republic of Korea (Democratic), Korean Empire (Monarchist), Korean National Union (Fascist)

Ruling Party: Workers' Party of Korea - Loyalists

Ideology: Juche^note Communism

Originally a civil-war participant during the Cold War, turned full-on country. Democratic People's Republic of Korea was victorious in the Korean War and controls the entire Korean Peninsula with its own original Ideology of Juche only prevelant in Korea focusing on the Kim family. The country has remained somewhat stagnant after the end of the Cold War and seeks to have a future successor to the aging Kim Jong-il.

Kim Jong-il

Role: Head of State

Party: Workers' Party of Korea - Loyalists

Ideology: Juche^note Communism

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show} Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il is perhaps one of the most mysterious leaders in the modern world. Little is known about his early life, even where he was born. Korean sources say it was on Paektu Mountain on the border with China, other sources say it was in a Siberian military camp. He was four years old when the Second World War ended and Japanese troops withdrew from Korea. His father, Kim Il-sung, soon became premier of the newly established Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The young Kim then moved to Pyongyang and began his education just before the outbreak of the Korean War. The communist victory in the war allowed the elder Kim to consolidate power as the ‘Great Leader’ at the center of an intense cult of personality. Kim Jong-il was brought into this personality cult and by the time of the 6th Party Congress in 1980 had secured his position as heir apparent to his father, with senior positions in both the government and military. He began to consolidate power, securing the loyalty of the army and centralizing authority around himself. When his father died in 1994 Kim was prepared to succeed him as the new Supreme Leader of Korea. His first years in power saw the already authoritarian state grow even more autocratic. The economy suffered due to mismanagement, but close reliance on food imports from the USSR prevented starvation. After having secured his power, Kim brought about a slight opening of the country, lessening economic control and restrictions on personal freedom. His longtime fascination with culture and film allowed him to take an active role in the country’s entertainment industry, which saw a renaissance under Kim. Now the aging Supreme Leader has largely withdrawn from public life, causing speculation if he is even still alive. The Korean government assures the public that all is fine, but in the absence of a successor, the country risks falling into the hands of an ambitious family member, or even worse - the Korean People’s Army.

State of Japan

Official Name: State of Japan, Union of Japan (Revolutionary Socialist), Empire of Japan (Monarchist)

Ruling Party: Liberal Democratic Party - Kochikai Faction

Ideology: National Conservatism

With communism continuing to expand throughout Asia, and the collapse of NATO and the United States, Japan found itself on its own. Threatened by Korea and China to the West, and the Soviets to the North, Japan went back into a period of isolation. The Japanese people rallied around their Emperor. The government increased some powers to the royal family, and popularity for a more conservative democracy grew. Japan continues to be a technological hub on the world stages, and maintains close ties with Australia, and the Democratic League.

---

• Authority in Name Only: Downplayed. The Emperor and his family are noted to have been given some more powers following their renewed isolation, but the Prime Minister still remains as the actual ruler of Japan.
• History Repeats: Japan has once again gone back into isolation thanks to being surrounded by hostile Communists and being left to fend for themselves after the collapse of NATO. It's not as bad as the Sakoku period however, as Japan still maintains relations with the Democratic League and remains technologically connected with the rest of the world.
• Last of Its Kind: Most countries in East Asia have adopted communism (either Marxism-Leninism or Maoism), leaving Japan as one of the last democracies in the region.
• Red Scare: The threat of either Chinese or Soviet influence has caused paranoia in Japan, resulting in them adopting a mild isolationist policy.

Toshio Tamogami

Role: Head of State

Party: Liberal Democratic Party - Kochikai Faction

Ideology: National Conservatism

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show} General Toshio Tamogami has had a long and distinguished career in the Japanese National Defense Forces. Beginning in 1971, he eventually rose to become commander-in-chief of the Air Defense Command in 2004. Though he wasn’t a politician, he affiliated himself with Nippon Kaigi, an influential nationalist organization with ties to both the political and financial sectors of Japanese society. Being known as an outspoken nationalist, Tamogami gained the attention of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who appointed him chief of staff of the Air Force in 2007. At the time it seemed that Tamogami had reached the height of his career, but that was proved wrong when Shinzo Abe suddenly resigned the very same year. His resignation triggered a long political crisis where the ruling Liberal Democratic Party was unable to elect a new leader. The party was divided and completely deadlocked, until a private deal was struck between several factions who agreed to support a compromise candidate in General Tamogami. He hesitated at first, but eventually agreed to resign from his position in the air force, join the LDP and accept the nomination. Many see the old general as a breath of fresh air in Japan’s stagnant one-party system. However, there are those in the party that fear that Tamogami’s ambitions aren’t just to strengthen the government and the military, but that his plans for reform go far beyond anything that has been attempted in post-war Japan.

Aung San Suu Kyi

Role: Head of State (Starts Civil War against Wirathu)

Party: League for Socialist Salvation

Ideology: Buddhist Socialism^note Revolutionary Socialism

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show} Aung San Suu Kyi has been a household name in Burma for decades. Her father was Aung San, often titled 'Father of the Nation' for his role in achieving Burmese independence. Having spent most of her early life outside Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi returned in 1988 to take care of her dying mother, but was inexplicably swept up in the nation’s fledgling democratic movement. That same year, long time military dictator Ne Win resigned at the height of the Four Eights Uprising, a massive popular revolt that broke out across the nation only to be brutally suppressed by another military coup. Aung San Suu Kyi became an icon for her role in the uprising, and she founded the League of Socialist Salvation to continue the fight against the dictatorship. It wasn’t until 1997 when her goal could be realized, as another popular revolt erupted. In what became known as the Lotus Revolution, the military government willingly handed power to Aung San Suu Kyi in exchange for guaranteeing their continued political influence. But this was not the democratic revolution many had hoped. The following elections established the League as the undisputed rulers of Burma, with little place for domestic opposition. Aung San Suu Kyi likewise cemented her power as president, declaring ‘Buddhist Socialism’ to be the country’s national ideology and ensuring the loyalty of both the People’s Assembly and the powerful Council of Monks. Now, over a decade into her rule, mounting opposition among the people and army may yet bring about her fall from grace.

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show} Nong Duc Manh is a man of mysterious origin. Though he has usually claimed that his parents were peasants from northern Vietnam, rumors abound that he is actually the illegitimate son of Ho Chi Minh. Regardless of his ancestry, he joined the Communist Party of Vietnam in 1963 and began his career in the forest industry, working his way up from a simple technician to become deputy head of the provincial forestry service. He learned Russian, traveling to the Soviet Union to study at the Leningrad State Forestry University. Already serving in the provincial party committee, in 1980 he began to focus entirely on his political work, climbing the ranks of the party at a time of change, as the Doi Moi reforms began taking shape. He became a full member of the Central Committee in 1989, and joined the Politburo soon afterwards. During this time he would often play on his association with the revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh, while never officially confirming the rumors. In 1992 he became the youngest Chairman of the National Assembly in Vietnamese history and in 2001 he was unanimously elected General Secretary, seen by many in the party as a figure of unity and stability. That same day an official statement in the national press would confirm the identity of Manh’s mother as one of Ho Chi Minh’s housekeepers, though the General Secretary’s statements about his origins have since been vague. Widely regarded as a calm and stable leader, Manh’s government has continued the reforms of the last decades, cracking down on corruption in the government and economy, reforming the judicial system and continuing to reach out to new partners in the Asia-Pacific region, all while maintaining a close and ‘special relationship’ with the Soviet Union.

Heng Samrin

Role: Head of State

Ideology: Leninism^note Communism

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show} A former political commissar and division commander of the Khmer Rouge, Heng Samrin made his mark on Kampuchea through his opposition to the ruthless government of Pol Pot. In 1978, a series of violent purges forced Samrin into exile in Vietnam, where he became the leader of the Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation. Later that year he returned to Kampuchea to organize the resistance against the Khmer Rouge, and his organization served to legitimize the subsequent Vietnamese invasion which placed him as Chairman of the Revolutionary Council and de-facto leader of Kampuchea. He continued to consolidate power with Vietnamese support, becoming General Secretary of the new Kampuchean People’s Revolutionary Party in 1981. Though he proved to be an effective leader, his power has gradually declined after the rise of Prime Minister Hun Sen and the end of the Vietnamese occupation in 1993. Despite this, Samrin has committed himself to ensuring that no other nations attempt to interfere in the internal politics of Kampuchea again, waging a guerilla war on the Thai border against the remnants of the Khmer Rouge and anti-communist forces. He almost paid the ultimate price for it, falling victim to an attempted assassination by a suspected Khmer Rouge sympathiser in 2007. The attack left him badly injured, and he was forced to give up even more of his power. But now he has seemingly recovered, and despite his old age and injuries, Heng Samrin remains committed to his duties, though there are many in the party who are worried about the state of their revolutionary leader.

Korn Dabbaransi

Role: Head of State

Party: National Development Party

Ideology: Developmentalism^note New Democracy

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show} A member of the powerful interest group known as the ‘Rajakru Clan’, Korn Dabbaransi began his political career in 1974 as part of the Thai Nation Party led by his uncle General Chatichai Choonhavan. He served as secretary to General Choonhavan in 1991 while his uncle was prime minister, before being dismissed after a rival military faction seized power. This military junta, led by General Suchinda Kraprayoon, became despised after the army opened fire on unarmed protestors, forcing the King to intervene. Witnessing the collapse of the military regime, Dabbaransi and Choonhavan left the pro-military TNP and founded the National Development Party, returning to power as ‘reformed democrats’ after the election of 1992. Together they oversaw a period of rising prosperity in Thailand, as the economy was reconfigured towards the country’s Asian neighbors and a new, more democratic constitution was promulgated. Dabbaransi became the leader of the NDP in 1998 after the death of Choonhavan and rose to become prime minister after pushing out his uncle’s successor, General Arthit Kamlang-ek, later that same year. Faced with popular discontent due to corruption and nepotism during the Rajakru rule, Dabbaransi was voted out in 2000, only to return three years later after his rivals in the TNP collapsed over the same issue. Dabbaransi’s second premiership has defined his controversial decision to legalize the Communist Party of Thailand as part of his effort to move closer to China. This has been widely scrutinized by the country’s military establishment, who monitor his administration for any justification to seize power once again.
