New Macau

== Description ==
One of the mid-period Terran colonies, New Guoxi is one of the crown jewel of the Confederacy, a thriving colony with a very diverse population, both Terran and non-Terran. The city of New Guozi is known for its remarkable architecture, a reminder of the city of Hong Kong on Terra, while most other large settlements have a quaint, countryside quality to them. While the original settlers were mainly East Asian (with a large proportion of Chinese and Vietnamese settlers), they were supported by a significant portion of South American and African settlers who were looking for new land to build farms on. Agriculture is the main commercial industry on the planet, with maize, rice and oat being the main exports. Cotton farms have been growing steadily on the continent of New Tiapa in the past 50 years, with transformation centers being built and clothing lines starting to be exported in large quantity. 
Being close to the Imperial border, a significant amount of trade is done directly with the Imperial Trade Authority and immigration from the Empire is rather common as well. A large population of gnomes reside in most cities on the planet, where the gnomes serve as intermediaries between the ITA and local Confederate merchants, storeowners or hired help. A significant Elven population is also on the planet, many of them trying to make a living on farms and forestry as a way to restart their life after ther service.
New Macau is also known for being the first planet to have a gnomish senator elected, which was a great step towards racial equality in the Confederation. A citizen of New Guozi, the senator has a wonderful reputation as a member of the Liberal Democratic Alliance Party.
