Republic of Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a city state located in East Asia, formally known as "Guangdong Province," It is the remnant of a long-gone nation called the Republic of China which befell an outbreak of inactivitus, resulting in the death of its administration and the exodus of people from Mainland China to Tornea.

## History

### Pre-Hong-Kong

Hong Kong was once known as Guangdong Province, a part of the Republic of China. It was the second smallest of the three provinces that made up the Republic of China. At its helm is Liao Jiang, the former president of the Republic of China and current president of Hong Kong. In its early days, Guangdong province was a poor backwater province but possessed the manpower and merit to prosper. Thanks to the efforts of Liao Jiang in its earliest days, Guangdong managed to lay the foundations for its future. During this time, Guangdong formed sister city relations with Odetplin due to their similarity in the layout of their cities.

### Inactivitus

However, months after the formation of the Republic of China, the governor of Nanjing and the President of China befell to inactivitus as well as the majority of the population, thus Liao Jiang took it upon himself to lead China, alone whilst they recovered. The two members of the KMT never recovered and subsequently died in the following weeks. Eventually on July 27th, Liao Jiang declared himself as the de facto president of China. With inactivitus, Guangdong became the only active city in China, maintaining its economy and ensuring that all cities received equal income from Hong Kong.

### Disbandment and the rise of Hong Kong

Nanjing and Sichuan province died in silence, many had moved out of China en route to Tornea, their fates remaining unknown. Liao Jiang made the decision to disband the Republic of China and installing the Republic of Hong Kong with Liao Jiang as president. From there, the country went on to own a vassal state in the Philippines to owning several states throughout East Asia, notable vassal states include, Shirogawa (Which fell into inactivitus) and Chun-Nan. Despite owning the vassal states, Liao Jiang allowed them to rule over themselves and occasionally donated emeralds to Chun-Nan to ensure its economic growth, and Hong Kong turned into weak confederation of some sort.

### The Blue Line split

Due to unknown reasons, The Philippines or Chun-Nan, broke off from Hong-Kong with Liao Jiang authorizing its release into sovereignty, despite this the cities-maintained ties with each other, and Hong Kong has returned back to its pre-vassal state form. From there, Hong Kong marched on without its vassal states. Hong Kong eventually formed its nation's constitution, formed a treaty with the Tornean Empire to bring the two nations much closer than they had before, the alliance allowed businesses to operate in both countries, citizens to freely work in both countries and each nation garnering the responsibility to defend each other in the event of a conflict. Than Hong Kong surpassed 10,000 emeralds marking the beginning of a new era. Hong Kong's growth

Hong Kong currently has an apartment under construction, formed an alliance with other eastern nations such as The Blue Line (Now known as the Eldian Empire), and Hong Kong has opened a shop in the ON tower in Odetplin, known as the Soil Shop.

## Government

Despite writing down a constitution, Hong Kong's government is weakly structured due to the low number of politicians in Hong Kong's government, as of now, Liao Jiang holds absolute power in all areas of the country from its economy to its infrastructure. So far, the citizens of the city state remain somewhat satisfied with being ruled under an autocracy. The government lacks many formal processes such as how an election would play out or a judicial trial.
