Manchuria

Manchuria (Japanese: 滿洲國, Cyrillic: Маншуукоку) is a sovereign country in north-eastern Sondria. It is bordered by Joseon, Kaizhung, Mongolia and Alavia. The capital is Shinkyo (新京/Шинкёу).
The country was formed in the wake of the partition of Manchuria in two, a Soviet-backed state what later merged to create the current People's Republic of Kaizhung, and the bulk of its territory was annexed to democratic forces, the same ones that occupied the entirety of Orience, as a sovereign country in its own right in 1946. Due to historic assimilation from Orience, most of the population is ethnically Oriencian, displacing many Han Kaizhungese.
Currently Manchuria is a democratic republlic led by the PDP.
==History==
===Before Orience===
Manchuria was a region that was occupied by successive Kaizhungese dynastical governing bodies, until the Alavo-Oriencian war led to the loss of some territories of Kaizhung, Alavia and Omawate (excluding Yaniko which became a sovereign state in 1921 under Soviet influence) to the Empire of Orience.
Among the regions that changed considerably was Manchuria. Its involvement with the territory of Manchuria started with a railway line and a forced takeover of a port that used to belong to the Nashlandians and the Alavians, and eventually spread its influence to the wider region. For centures the Manchurians were being oppressed as part of pre-Communist assimilation policies from Han Kaizhungese, and under the Oriencians they were about to suffer from the same.
===State of Manchuria===
The Oriencian Empire declared the State of Manchuria in 1932. The city of Jiangrun was renamed Xinjing, and under the influence of the Oriencians, was subsequently renamed Shinkyo. Until 1934, Han Kaizhungese were still allowed to occupy political posts, this changed after a 1934 assimilation act targeting Oriencians, who had exclusive control over such posts.
In this manner, Orience formally detached Manchuria from Kaizhung over the course of the 1930s. With Oriencian investment and rich natural resources, the area became an industrial powerhouse. Manchuria had its own issued banknotes and postage stamps. Several independent banks were founded as well.
===Diplomatic recognition===
Manchuria had limited diplomatic recognition from the onset. Kaizhung did not recognize Manchuria but the two sides established official ties for trade, communications, and transportation. In 1933, the Society of Nations adopted the Lytton Report, declaring that Manchuria remained rightfully part of China, leading Japan to resign its membership. The Manchukuo case persuaded the United States to articulate the so-called Stimson Doctrine, under which international recognition was withheld from changes in the international system created by the force of arms.
Despite restrictions, a number of countries started recognizing Manchuria as a sovereign country
===World War 2===
As predicted, the outbreak of war meant that Manchuria was a golden opportunity for the Oriencian Empire to continue its practices of expansionism and assimilation.
===Aftermath and partition===
The surrender had led to a complex situation - a partition between the USSR and the exact same allied forces that occupied Orience in 1945 - and that would be dependent on Orience in many aspects of its existence. The Soviet-run territory was later integrated to the People's Republic of Kaizhung and the occupied territory became the sovereign state of Manchuria.
===Attempts at becoming a Communist state===
The geographical location of Manchuria poised a massive diplomatical hurdle, as its neighbors turned out to be Communist states. In a rare coup, the Manchurians forced the collapse of the Omawatian Communist regime in 1963 and accepted plans to improve the country's infrastructure later.

==Administrative divisions==
Manchuria is made up of five prefectures, a system borrowed from Orience when they were part of its colonial empire. Shinkyo is the capital and the most-populous of the four. Only the ken category is used for the prefectures, out of the four used in Orience (todofuken).
==Demographics==
Manchuria has a population of 896.496 as of latest statistics. Most of the population is Oriencian or mixed with Manchurian.

===Languages===
Japanese is the country's official language. Although the same standard used in the other Japonic countries is official, between 1946 and 1991, romanization was forbidden and a separate system of Cyrillization was imposed, deviating from the Russian-language system. This system was influenced party from Omawate's usage of Cyrillic as an official writing system, deposing Nari.
A number of Manchu and Tungusic languages is also spoken, even though they are a minority. The Manchu language claims to have about 100 speakers according to a 2007 census. Most of these languages currently rely on Cyrillic alphabets and the people who speak these languages don't have the right to learn kanji and kana, and, therefore, write in Manchurian Cyrillic Japanese.
The Manchurian government recognizes the following as indigenous languages:
*Manchu
*Xibe
*Oroqen
*Omawatian
*Korean (Yeonbyeon dialect)
*Jurchen
*Nanai
*Udege
All of these languages, with the exception of Korean, carry an official Cyrillic alphabet.
==Media==
Manchuria inherited the newspapers from the occupation era, the language has since changed to Japanese.
The media sector was controlled by the government for decades after 1946. The state broadcaster MHK held a radio monopoly until 1984 and a television monopoly until early 2017.
