People's Republic of China
Shortform Name: China
Capital: Beijing
Major Cities: Beijing, Jinan, Linyi, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shantou, Wuhan, Nanjing, Chongqing
Conscription Law: 1
Description:
National Anthem: "March of the Volunteers"
Government: One Party State
Ruling Party: Communist Party of China
Premier: Jiang Ling
Economy: Market Socialism
Ethnic Groups: 94% Han Chinese, 6% Others
Population: 1.3 billion
Laborers: 900 million
Religion: Atheism
Currency: Renminbi
Space Technology: Commercial and Scientific installations on Moon, Mars and certain Asteroids.
Droids and Automation: The majority of Droids are used in the army. Most of them do not have much intelligence and are controlled by humans using joystick. In industrial production, most of the production is automated although certain parts of the production remain dominated by man in order to avoid unemployment.
Surveillance: Hidden cameras exist in all major cities and monitor everything while all phones are tracked by the "Red Guards", China's secret police. The Internet is also censored and only government authorized websites are allowed. Those who hack the system are tracked down and assassinated by the Red Guards. The Media is also heavily controlled by government and only state owned channels are allowed to air. Subliminal stimuli is used frequently as a means of political propaganda.
The "Golden Guards" are a special group of Red Guards whose job is to pretend to be democracy activists and dissidents, so they can infiltrate into dissent groups and expose them when the time is right. Everyone who is suspected of being a democracy activist or a dissident is assassinated but in a way that it looks like an accident.
History: In 1949, Mao Zedong defeated the Nationalist forces of Chiang Kai Shek and established the People's Republic of China. Mao encouraged population growth, however his Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution killed millions and decimated the country. After Mao's death in 1976, a civil war erupted between the Reformists (under Deng Xiaoping) and the Gang of Four, which resulted in Deng Xiaoping's victory in 1978. However, the civil war allowed Turkestan and Tibet to declare independence.
Deng Xiaoping did not bother at all with those mostly poor and underdeveloped provinces and instead gradually opened up the country and replaced Mao's economic policies with Market Socialism: This turn of events marked China's transition from a planned economy to a mixed economy with an increasingly open market environment. China's economic performance pulled an estimated 150 million peasants out of poverty and sustained an average annual gross domestic product growth rate of 11.2%. Deng Xiaoping also invaded Taiwan in 1985, during the Second Chinese Civil War. Taiwan was captured and became once again part of China. In 2001, Chinese forces invaded Macau as Portugal, encouraged by British refusal to give up HK, refused to give up the city. The Chinese forces exterminated all Portuguese forces and annexed Macau.
In 2030, China became the world's largest economy, a rank it still holds, while the use of droids and the automation of production became increasingly more popular. At the same time, China developed Space Science and established commercial and scientific installations on Moon, Mars and certain Asteroids. By 2049, China has the largest economy and population in the world, it's production is mostly automated and looks at the future with confidence.
It's Premier is 33 years old Jiang Ling who took power in 2044, after his father's, Premier Jiang Yang, death in a car accident. Jiang Ling has the support of many members of the Communist Party and the army, as his family has ruled China since 1992. Premier Jiang Guo took power in 1992 and ruled until 2006, his son Premier Jiang Chong ruled from 2006 to 2028, his son Premier Jiang Yang ruled from 2028 to 2044. Because of the domination of the Jiang family in Chinese politics, the PRC has sometimes been jokingly called the Jiang Dynasty and it's Premiers have been referred as the Red Emperors.
Jiang Ling may be young, but he is capable and ambitious. Will he be able to lead China to new heights of glory?

-Brief History:
Official Initial Earthquake Assessment said:
Spoiler :
The Second Great Kantō Earthquake [第二次関東大震災] was an event so devastating to the State of Japan that it threatened to tear the entire nation asunder, to collapse its spectacular economic growth and technological advancement. The damage done was astounding. Half of Chiba Prefecture [千葉県] was levelled, including the in-progress Narita International Airport [成田国際空港] and most of Chiba City [千葉市] itself. The southern portion of Ibaraki Prefecture [茨城県] sustained heavy damages as well, though luckily its capital, Mito [水戸], went relatively unharmed by the quake and its subsequent waves and aftershocks. Within the city of Tōkyō, however, destruction was immense. Edogawa, Katsushika, Adachi, and Sumida Wards were almost completely obliterated. The Port of Tōkyō in Kōtō Ward sustained severe damages, trapping resident vessels and forcing closure of the port and surrounding areas. The Tōkyō Stock Exchange, the Bank of Japan, and several corporate headquarters in the economic center of Chūō Ward were all completely destroyed. The Diet, the Imperial Palace, the Supreme Court, Tōkyō Station, the Nippon Budokan, Akihabara District, and many more corporate headquarters located in Chiyoda Ward suffered less damage, but were all still inoperable or inaccessible post-quake. Shinjuku Station, as well as the rest of Shinjuku Ward, took similar damage as Chiyoda Ward did. The rest of the 23 Wards sustained similar damages, though no major buildings or offices in the other wards were of particular note.

Country Name: Deutsche Demokratische Republik /German Democratic Republic
Shortform Name: DDR/GDR/East Germany
Capital: Berlin
Major Cities: Dresden, Karl-Marx-Stadt, Rostock, Frankfurt a/d Oder
Anthem: Auferstanden aus Ruinen
Conscription Law: 3
Description: The DDR is a socialist republic, which basically means it has a thing with Stalinist government. The government is elected out of party officials, and only party officials may run. Basically, it's East Germany but in an IOT because laziness.
At least until 1975.
In 1975, Erich Honecker dies a painful death involving several bullets, which leads to weaker government of the DDR - Hermann Axen and Günter Schabowski.
As a result of the Democratization program initiated by Schabowski, the new DDR is a more or less democratic state. There are elections every five years - the last was in 2046, when one Jochen Ingelmann was elected to be the Staatssekretär.
There are three main parties in the DDR. The first is the Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands (Socialist Unity Party of Germany) which was the original party of the DDR. Since their defeat by Jähns DSDP in the 90s they have not seen much power. The second is the Vereinigung für Ein Deutschland (Union for One Germany) - a somewhat socialist party which advocates German irredentism. Their first leader was Till Lindemann, but Tim Thomas has recently taken a more prominent role here. The final party is the Deutsche Sozialdemokratische Partei (German Social Democratic Party), which runs on a relatively right-wing basis - although still close to socialism. Most other parties are irrelevant.

Amalgamation of Russian Soviets
Shortform Name: Russia
Capital: Moscow
Major Cities: Moscow, Gorky, Kuybyshev, Stalingrad, Rostov
Conscription Law: SBR
The USSR
Not long ago, the USSR was unified and strong. After World War II, the USSR and USA stood as the superpowers of the world. They had their own sphere of influences carved around the world. The arms race threatened to reignite a world-wide conflict as nuclear weapons were stockpiled en masse. However, as the space race started to gain momentum, something happened that would change the course of history for the human race. 27 January 1975, the date that the Outer Space Treaty was revised into what it is today. The revision was brought on by the heated space race between the USSR and the US. As each country pushed the boundaries of what should be allowed in Space, the eventual consensus was that restricting the goings-on in Space was becoming irrelevant; the Outer Space Treaty was effectively reversed, allowing for anything to be sent to the great beyond. This lead to a focus on the space programs in both countries. Then the time came for the moon landings of 1969. America was the first country of Earth to reach it, but the USSR shocked the world; in mere days a Ukrainian Soviet was landed on the moon. For several days, there were Americans and Soviets on the moon at once. This was the event that truly pushed the world to what it is today.
Both countries desperately tried to outdo each other, making great leaps in technology as they went. In the year 1980, both countries established moon bases. In 1997, the United States launched the first Military Space Installation, a large military base that orbits the Earth. The USSR followed suit by constructing its own MSIs.
As the year 2000 approached, however, the USSR was starting to feel the effects of the Cold War. The economy was highly unstable. Many predicted a total collapse of the Soviet government, already holding America as the sole world superpower. However, time kept passing as the Soviet government tried its best to hold the state together. The turn of the millennium came and went. The predictions were proven wrong as although the Soviets weren't the superpower they used to be, neither was the US. The world began to de-polarize and catch up to the two leaders-in-recession.
All the effort to sustain the Soviets seemed to pay off when a breakthrough in robotics was done by Soviet scientists. The USSR began construction of fully-automated facilities in 2020. The breakthrough redefined industrial efficiency. It wasn't much later that the US corporate machine achieved similar accomplishments. This breakthrough jump-started another race - a race to Mars.
The Soviets, within a few short years of the breakthrough, almost completely automated several of its cities. These gigantic cities were dubbed "Automated Cities" - many parts of the cities' operation was completely automated, just requiing some qualified human oversight. It was not just the USSR; By 2030 the world seemed to enjoy a golden age of technological advancement.
However, the more things change the more they stay the same. The automation of industry was completely concentrated in the west. A divide in the Soviets became apparent; the farther away you were to the cities, the worse life was. It wasn't long until the fighting started. Civil war officially sparked in 2040, and the USSR was no more.
Rise of the Amalgamation of Russian Soviets
Over the next 9 years years, the USSR fragmented. The sole Soviet was based around the amalgamation of automation, in the western part of the USSR. Though the other post-Soviet states treated that name with disgust, the Soviet held it with pride. It became the official name of the successor to the USSR: The Amalgamation of Russian Soviets. The ARS maintains contact with the Soviet moon and Mars bases; they remained loyal to what became known as the True Motherland to the off-worlders.
Today, the civil war is still active, and Russia's control of the former-USSR's space assets as well as its almost-fully automated industry allow the surviving Soviet to maintain its position as a world power.
Other breakaways include the Free City of Petrograd, the Baltic Union, the Ukrainian and Belarusian Union State, and Transcaucasia.
The Free City of Petrograd is the current priority for takeover of the ARS. Petrograd is the only automated city to rebel from the Soviets, and holds the largest pre-Civil War port that is also entirely automated. The Free City's leadership is democratic in name, but the recent heavy loses to the ARS has driven the young state to adopt totalitarian methods to maintain order.
The Baltic Union is probably the best-off of the post-soviet states. It is a republic of 3 states - Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia. Lithuania also seized the city of Kaliningrad - which still has many soviet-supporters.
The Ukrainian and Belarusian Union State is a loose union that is rather unstable - there's about an even split between USSR secessionists and loyalists. Still, some semblance of government exists across the area.
Transcaucasia is a mess. There are warlords across the area that more or less do what they please - though they do seem to answer to the undisputed biggest player in the area, an ex-soviet general with his own modern army. The man and the entire army are considered traitors of the state and are all charged with treason. The entire army is sentenced to death.

Description
Economy- Industry: Russia's economy relies solely on what have been dubbed the Automated Cities. The Automated Cities are an invention of Russian engineers. Just as the name implies, these cities are almost completely automated, and much of the infrastructure is connected. The Automated Cities create most Russian products and process most of Russia's resources. In addition, energy collection is largely tied to cities as well and is the only endo-urban part of the economy that is heavily automated.
- Agriculture: Though Russian urban areas are highly automated, the civil war has gotten in the way of completely automating agriculture. Robotics and heavy machinery has still come a long way in stabilizing and sustaining Russian agriculture.
- Service: The Service industry is the most untouched part of the Russian economy in terms of automation, and is where most citizens will find work.
Military
- Red Army: The Red army has evolved much since the end of the cold war, though it has had to cut back a lot due to the civil war in terms of equipment, the military tradition is as strong as ever. Russian war machines have also felt wave of technological revolution as targeting computers have been equipped on everything from main battle tanks to assault rifles. Regular infantry divisions also sport support units in man-sized exoskeletons, though they do not have many combat uses at this time.
- Navy: Along with the Air Force, the Navy in the USSR had seen major improvements stemming from the Automation Revolution. However, due to the lost ports from the civil war, much of the Soviet Fleet was decommissioned in the Black Sea to prevent theft from rebel elements. The Navy now acts mostly as a defense force for Russia's last major port in the Black Sea.
- Air Force: USSR's aviation technology achieved major strides in advancement during the golden age of technology that was the 20's. The USSR was expecting to field air units that could breach the atmosphere and board MSIs as well as patrol in Earth's Orbit before the civil war. Development of this craft was discontinued and scrapped. Though Russian aircraft is still considered on-par with that of the world, they are nowhere near the potential of what could have been had the USSR not collapsed.
- Special Operations: The Spetsnaz are still in active duty, as they have been since the 20th century. However, the status of all active members as well as recruitment is classified at this time, and has been since the dawn of the Automation Revolution.

Shortform Name: SAC, or just the Commonwealth.
Capital: Buenos Aires
Major Cities: Bogota (capital of the state of Bolivia), Formosa, Cordoba (the argie city) (unofficial capital of the state of Argentina), Montevideo (capital of the state of Uruguay), Santiago (capital of the state of Chile), Bolivia (capital of the state of Bolivia), Lima (capital of the state of Peru), Asuncion (capital of the state of Uruguay),
Conscription Law: Voluntary
Description: The SAC is a commonwealth of nations located in South America. Although it's headed by Argentina, the nations conforming the commonwealth are quite free in regards of internal politics, but are always represented by the commonwealth on the other world and all proposals between the commonwealth's nation and external nations must be approved by the assembly first. The only areas in the region where the commonwealth has direct control is the capital and in newly-obtained territories, but the latter will be turned into a state when the assembly of the commonwealth considers it's stable (and big) enough.
The commonwealth has a common assembly which, among it's functions, arbitrates the disputes between 2 nations within the commonwealth or an intra-national dispute which can't be resolved by said nation. To pass a new law which affects all the nations within it, it must have a 75% majority. In addition, the assembly also controls the army of the commonwealth. Assembly elections are every 4 years and next ones are in 2050.
The commonwealth is led by the protector, who is elected by the assembly. The protector is meant to represent the commonwealth in the world. Due to the incredibily absurd of embarassing moments the former nations had, the assembly is obligued to kick out a protector from of his position if he is not a serious person (*cough* Cristina and Maduro *cough*). Elections for the protector happen every 4 years and next elections are in 2052. Protectors can be reelected, but can only have one extra term.
In short, the commonwealth is a more centralized version of the EU or the HRE.

Due to the incredibily absurd of embarassing moments the former nations had, the assembly is obligued to kick out a protector from of his position if he is not a serious person (*cough* Cristina and Maduro *cough*). Elections for the protector happen every 4 years and next elections are in 2052. Protectors can be reelected, but can only have one extra term.
In short, the commonwealth is a more centralized version of the EU or the HRE.
Current protector: Rosario Llanos
Population: 250 million

Country Name: Federation of Alpine Republics
Shortform Name: Padania
Capital: Milano
Major Cities: Torino, Verona, Venezia, Trieste, Genova, Trento, Modena
Conscription Law: 1
Description: With all the political turmoil in the late 20th Century, Italy became each time more and more fragmented. As the poorer Southern regions fell irreparably under control of the mafia and criminal organisations and kept on severely hindering economic and social progress, the particularism of the Lega Norte party was warmly adopted by the citizenship of the Alpine regions. After several political assassinations in Rome, most of Italy fell apart into cliques ruled by mafia clans, while the Northern regions decided to proclaim their independence.

Country Name: Danubian Republic
Shortform Name: Danube, Austria (technically incorrect, but since people call the UK "England" and the USSR "Russia", it would make sense)
Capital: Vienna
Major Cities: Budapest, Prague, Bratislava, Salzburg,
Conscription Law: Volunteer
Description: The word "Robot" was originally a Czech loanword, that made its way into English via Broadway. Yet, in modern day Bohemia, you will find no robots at all. The region of the Danubian River Basin had a population mostly opposed to robotics, thanks to a freak accident in 2023 where police drones went haywire in the slums of Prague and started to indiscriminately shoot at any human until they were forcefully put down. Several laws were passed, banning any computer with "intelligence and reasoning capabilities of humans", human-like robot, limits on non-manual labor automization, and a complete ban on cybernetics. It is generally agreed that robotics take away the soul and humanity of civilization, and if left unchecked, humans will be left obsolete.
The actual government of the Danubian Republic is like a traditional European parliamentary republic, but is a federal, rather than unitary, state. The nation is divided into four states: Austria, Hungary, Bohemia (AKA the entire Czech Republic), and Slovakia. Each state has its own official language (German, Hungarian, Czech, and Slovakian, respectively), and a parliament which can determine laws relating to local issues such as education or culture. A National Parliament oversees issues that afflict the entire republic, such as defense and foreign policy. The head of government is the Prime Minister, who is selected among the MPs of the largest coalition. The head of state is the president; a largely ceremonial position directly voted by the people.

The Republic of Afghanistan
Country Name: The Republic of Afghanistan
Shortform Name: Afghanistan
Capital: Kabul
Major Cities: Kandahar, Herat
Conscription Law: 2
Description: The troubles for Afghanistan began in 1978, when the PDPA, Marxist Democratic Party of Afghanistan, overthrew Prime Minister Daoud in the Saur Revolution. The new communist government, while pursuing a policy of reforms in an attempt to modernize the Afghan state, angered many conservatives and radical Islamists. By late 1979 and early 1980, a rebellion had started in parts of the country headed by the Islamic Unity of Afghanistan Mujahideen, also known as the Peshawar Seven. Moderates who would have supported the Peshawar Seven were targeted by the group as sympathizers. By 1982, it was clear the civil war was one between the communist government and Islamist rebels.
The Soviet Union, supported by their friends in Iraq and later Syria and Jordan, intervened in support of the Afghan government in 1980. The rebels were originally supported by the USA, but the Americans later withdrew support during their own economic downturn and later collapse. The rebels, while fairly popular, were weak and under-supplied. By the mid-80s the rebels were pushed into the mountains and in 1991, the Peshawar Seven dissolved. While fighting still continued until the late 90s, the civil war was declared over on April 28th, 1992.
Throughout the next 40 years the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan operated as a puppet state of the USSR, almost to the point of being an unofficial SSR. General Secretary were chosen by the Soviet Union, the PDPA kept in line with Soviet thought, and the Afghan military supported the Soviet one whenever needed. While the PDPA remained unpopular with the Afghan citizens, one could not argue its success into transforming Afghanistan into a modern and fairly powerful state. While certainly not a major power in the world, Afghanistan could at least claim it was a strong regional power in the Middle East and Central Asia.
Growing tired of the increasing Soviet domination of Afghan politics, the PDPA had a rebellion of sorts in 2029 and picked the reformist Naheed Farid as General Secretary instead of the Moscow picked candidate. Farid pursued a policy of economic and political liberation during her time as General Secretary and proved fairly popular with the Afghan people. Her policies increasingly distanced Afghanistan from the Soviet Union, something the hardliners in the PDPA and Moscow disliked. In 2034 Farid was ousted from power in a coup and soon after fled the country. Mohammad Hanif Atmar became the new General Secretary.
Atmar's removal of Farid, his hard-line policies, and illegitimacy in rule all contributed to the rise of public demonstrations against the government at the start of his rule. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the streets of Kabul and other major cities, calling for democracy. Less than two years after he was put into power Atmar was removed from office by reformist members of the PDPA. Several prominent members of the PDPA resigned, and the military was invited to rule until a new government with free elections could be formed.
Now, almost fifteen years after the so-called Silk Revolution, people can debate whether the revolution truly succeeded in making a free government. Elections did happen in 2037, and there were only a few claims to it being corrupt. However, one could claim the powers given to the President of the Republic would allow for him to be dictator quite easily. The Armed Forces has a lot of influence over the politics of the new Republic as well. The generals in the Army are not afraid of "suggesting" to the President and the Council of Representatives to change their policies to match the Army's interests. Some few would even go as far as to say the first President was a puppet put in power by the military. A claim that many are not denying.
