TrackMania Nations Forever Chinese Release

The TrackMania Nations Forever Chinese Release, originally named "西安明亞永遠的紅黨！！！" ("Xi'an Ming'ia, Red Party Forever!!!") is a racing video game developped by Nadeo and published by Focus Entertainment on November 9th 2008. It is an adaptation of their earlier game, TrackMania Nations Forever, aimed directly at the Chinese market.
== Context ==
In the early 2000s, the widespread fear of western culture forced the Chinese Communist Party to limit its citizens' access to Western softwares, including video-games. This led to the 2003 Chinese Gaming Act, which advocated for the publishing of pieces of media that would represent the governing party in a good light. Following the original release of TrackMania Nations Forever, Nadeo started developing a version that would suit the standards set in the 2003 Chinese Gaming Act. 
== Variations in content ==
This version of the game differs in various aspects, the most important changes being in the story-driven campaign. 
=== Campaign modifications ===
Significant modifications have been made in the story-driven campaign, and have affected massively the plot.
=== Miscellaneous changes ===
Other changes have been brought to the game, but are less significant in their impact on the gameplay: 
* The in-game economy has been subject to numerous changes, the currency now being "tokens" (代幣, pronounce Dài bì), instead of "coppers". The reason for this passage to a non ferrous material was described as "a way not to fuel the drive for profit and avoid the evil wrongdoings of the capitalistic world".
* The Chinese livery (Trigram "CHN") is the only one available in the game.
* The Great Firewall prevents the Chinese players from interacting with the rest of the TrackMania community and all references to notorious international teams such as FWO, Brain, and STAR Team were completely erased as an attempt to fight against "the irrational unity of the world's populations"
* Mentioning "Taiwan" in the in-game chat will result in an immediate deletion of your entire presence in the game, and alert the relevant authorities.
* The main menu has seen strong changes in its art direction; the globe present in the background does not spin. It is instead locked with China being at the center, glowing in a strong red and golden light, accompanied by a quote stating "The light of China will shine on the grim world".
