The Altered Three Kingdoms of China
Wu (Fifth Chinese Republic) - located in Hangzhou, the leadership of the Fifth Republic is a loose coalition of liberals, democrats, Christians, businessmen, and the urban Middle Class, banded together to reunite the nation in the name of democracy. In reality, the Central Government faced the same problems as the First and Second Republics in the wake of the Xinhai Revolution - corrupt politicians and powerful local leaders setting themselves up as warlords. Nevertheless, the Hangzhou Regime has the support of many of the Powers and of Taiwan.
Wei (State of China) - Northern China is ruled by a clique of former PLA generals, who imposed militarist rule on the population. Setting themselves up in Beijing, the Wei Generals pointed to the relative stability of their territories as opposed to the perceived lawlessness in the south and west as the evidence of their right to rule. The Wei Clique uses old PRC symbolism to strengthen their legitimacy.
Shu (Qian Dynasty) - a fierce nationalist, the founder of the self-proclaimed Da Qian viewed the Wu as corrupt puppets of foreigners and the Wei as brutal warlords. The Qian advocated a return to the Imperial era and the return of "traditional values". Militarily and economically weakest of the three factions, Qian tactics revolved around guerrila warfare.
Outside of Wei, Shu or Wu control:
Tibet (Xizang) - the Chinese governor of the province declared himself "King of Tibet" as China and the world descended into self-destructive madness. Unpopular with his Chinese subjects and even less popular among the Tibetans.
Xinjiang - After central rule collapsed, there was an attempt to set up an Islamic state in Xinjiang. This went horribly wrong and the region has since been embroiled in constant tribal, religious and ideological warfare. The Governor in Urumqi is content to work with whichever side is winning, and reap the profit.
Qinghai - the province is ruled by several warlords, who reached a compromise regarding territory and the province is now relatively peaceful. Several warlords are Tibetan and are plotting the liberation of Tibet from its self-styled Chinese King.
Taiwan - De facto independent since 1949, the independence of Taiwan was finally proclaimed following the March 16 Incident, by which time Beijing or anyone else was powerless to intervene. Taiwan keeps a close watch on events on the other side of the strait, sending arms and volunteers to help the fledgling Hangzhou government.
I don't see you making your own, nor putting in the effort.
