WHITE SUN OVER ASIA
Government
Nominally, the Chinese Confederation is a federal republic, not unlike the United States. In reality, the country is a one-party dictatorship with almost every branch of government controlled by the military, including the KMT.
Between the province/municipalities and the federal government are the general-governorates, a supposedly non-political institution belonging to the army, in charge to keep order in the border provinces. However these general-governors have authority over the provincial governors themselves, being able to unilaterally decide policies for provinces ignoring the governors, and even to "retire" them, if they show signs of rebelliousness.
=======================================
Demographics
In contrast to the People's Republic of China, the new Chinese Confederation makes no concessions to the ethnic minorities. The policy on minorities varies on the province and the general-governorate, from a simple forced linguistic assimilation to full-on "racial hygiene" laws that determine a person's access to basic amenities and facilities according to their percent of Chinese blood. Ever since the conquest of lands west and north, natives have been forced off their lands, or in many cases it was "purchased". These lands were settled by overseas Chinese, who returned to the Mainland from Nusantara and other countries through China-sponsored immigration campaigns, encouraged by the governments themselves. New provinces can only be created if there can be proven the ethnic Han population will be at least 15% of the province's. Segregation and discrimination is a fact of everyday life, especially in the areas with large minority demographics.
=======================================
Economy
China's economy heavily relies on state-sponsored family-run megacorporations, called Ch'aimen. Ever since the civil war, the army and business have a close relationship, with there being no central government, growing business would bribe officers to protect their interests. This carried over to now, where corruption is rampant throughout the military and government, with large companies being given lucrative contracts in exchange for financial backing. Economic and labor regulations are almost non-existent, because of just how powerful these Ch'aimen are. Even then, the state's support of these companies has supercharged China's economic and technological growth from a devastated country to the world's top economy.
=======================================
Foreign Relations
China's position as the premier hegemon is not without challenge. Their primary geopolitical opponent is the Imperial League, an alliance of former British colonies and dominions. After the tumultuous World War 3, the former friends turned on each other overtime due to China's aggressive posturing during its rise to global dominance. China's natural allies are the various Asian countries, including the Republic of Nusantara to its south, its closest ally. The country positions itself as the protector of Asia against the Western predators, not unlike the Pan-Asianism of Japan before, whose country now China has a complicated relationship. Outside Asia, China is close friends with the European Union State.
