Country Overview
Carved out from the Republic of China as an independent state by Japanese fiat in the Kanton Protocols of 1950, the State of Guangdong is an experiment unlike any other in history: an artificial nation dedicated solely to corporate colonialism. Where the Empire of Japan's other conquests in Asia - even its most artificial child, the Empire of Manchuria - pay lip service to the Co-Prosperity Sphere's vision of Pan-Asianism, Guangdong stands alone in its devotion to the yen under the whim of its Four Companies - Sony, Matsushita Electric, Fujitsu, and Yasuda. Through a combination of neglect from Tokyo and the reckless ambition of its tycoons, Guangdong has become a place in the Sphere where pretenses fall away in favor of naked greed and the pursuit of profit. But all is not well inside the world's only bastion of unchecked capitalism.
The native Chinese population toils endlessly in the factories of the Three Pearls of Guangdong - Kōshu (Guangzhou), Honkon (Hong Kong), and Makao (Macau) - while receiving none of the benefits accruing to the Japanese industrialists and expatriates that oversee their corporate exclave. Between them, the Zhujin - educated professionals and businessmen, fluent in Japanese but local to Guangdong - both serve and benefit from Guangdong's economic order, a middle class decried as collaborators by the Chinese and seen as useful proxies by the Japanese expatriates. Crime and corruption are widespread, with the Triads and Yakuza vying for control over the web of vice that sprawls across Guangdong's underground, in defiance of an undermanned Guangdong Police Force and an uncaring Kenpeitai garrison. In Guangdong, crime is less an aberration than simply another means of doing business, a reciprocal relationship of favors done and debts owed.
Internationally, Guangdong is afforded the trappings of a country and little else. China - holding fast to its pride - refuses to accord Guangdong's representatives the equal treatment they deserve, while Japan's attention has long since drifted away from its unnatural tributary. Manchukuo - the original pan-Asian experiment - remains the crown jewel of the Sphere, equally condescending towards China's poverty and Guangdong's corporate upstarts alike. Guangdong is a country without a nation, in either spirit or in form. And as Chief Executive Suzuki Teiichi begins his uneasy mission to bring Guangdong and its corporations back into Japan's dominion, the people and tycoons of Guangdong wait, and yearn for a future, a nation, that could yet be theirs.
Politics
Legislative Council
Inside 
Guangdong's state of corporations, something resembling a democratic Parliament akin to the ones in Japan and Britain exist. Though these seats are not elected, rather they comprise 100 of the most important businessmen in Guangdong. These businessmen are the ones who vote on the ordinances of Guangdong, which dictate policy and the future direction of Guangdong. The businessmen flock to where it is most profitable to be, and their votes and loyalty are traded as currency by the different presidents of the main companies of Guangdong, or are in some cases bought away to change the dynamics of the Council.
The Chief Executive proposes the ordinances of the 
Legislative Council, and should 50 seats support the ordinance, it will go into effect. The businessmen are not bound loyally to a corporation however. For the ordinances of Guangdong, the usual voting period for it is 30 Days, though exceptions can occur in special cases. An ordinance usually does not survive without changes and might need amendments which will be proposed by other parties to seek out more than 5 amendments. Whenever a bill's vote had been concluded, it will be archived in the ordinance history, and will stay there to document the history of Guangdong's Legislative Council.
