'''Guangdong''', officially the '''State of Guangdong''', is a country located in southern China, occupying the majority of Guangdong province. A [[Greater_East_Asia_Co-Prosperity_Sphere|Corporate Dependency]] of the [[Empire of Japan]], Guangdong borders the [[Republic of China]] to the north and east, the South China Sea to the south and the [[Guangxi Clique]] to the west. Created by the [[Kanton Protocols]] of 1950, the country lacks a national identity and is a playground for the corporate interests of corporations of the [[Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere]]. At the start of 1962 it is lead by Chief Executive [[Suzuki Teiichi]].


===In-Game Description===
''Carved out of the Republic of China as a concession to the Zaibatsu at the end of the Greater East Asian War, the State of Guangdong is an experiment in corporate colonialism, an unnatural entity existing between its Chinese roots and its Japanese suzerain. Despite its independence, Guangdong is far beneath Japan, China, or even Manchukuo in status - its Chief Executive playing second fiddle to the rest of the Co-Prosperity Sphere, even as the Four Companies of Guangdong greedily exploit Guangdong's land and people for their own benefit.''


==[[File:Matsushita_Icon.png|40px|link=|Matsushita Masaharu]] Matsushita==
''Guangdong is a country without a nation: a society bound together by wire transfers, banknotes, and share certificates. In the glittering Three Pearls of Guangdong - Honkon, Makao, and Kōshu - the Four Companies and the Chief Executive indulge in boardroom politics as the Japanese expatriates lord over the Cantonese-Japanese Zhujin, who struggle for recognition as second-class citizens. Beneath them all, the Chinese are herded from their ancestral towns into the electronics sweatshops on the Pearl River, a people displaced inside their own homeland. And as Asia awakens, few ask: will Guangdong survive the storm to come?''

===Country Overview===
Carved out from the {{color|dodgerblue|Republic of China}} as an independent state by Japanese fiat in the Kanton Protocols of 1950, the {{color|salmon|State of Guangdong}} is an experiment unlike any other in history: an artificial nation dedicated solely to corporate colonialism. Where the {{color|saddlebrown|Empire of Japan's}} other conquests in Asia - even its most artificial child, the {{color|darkorange|Empire of Manchuria}} - pay lip service to the {{color|red|Co-Prosperity Sphere}}'s vision of Pan-Asianism, Guangdong stands alone in its devotion to the yen under the whim of its {{color|yellow|Four Companies}} - {{color|red|Sony}}, {{color|gainsboro|Matsushita Electric}}, {{color|deepskyblue|Fujitsu}}, and {{color|yellow|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.


=Guangdong (Mechanics)=
The native {{color|royalblue|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 {{color|darkred|Japanese industrialists and expatriates}} that oversee their corporate exclave. Between them, the {{color|mediumvioletred|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 {{color|royalblue|Chinese}} and seen as useful proxies by the {{color|darkred|Japanese expatriates}}. {{color|red|Crime and corruption}} are widespread, with the {{color|limegreen|Triads}} and {{color|mediumvioletred|Yakuza}} vying for control over the web of vice that sprawls across Guangdong's underground, in defiance of an undermanned {{color|cornflowerblue|Guangdong Police Force}} and an uncaring {{color|darkred|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.
{{Template:Spoiler}}


Internationally, Guangdong is afforded the trappings of a country and little else. {{color|dodgerblue|China}} - holding fast to its pride - refuses to accord Guangdong's representatives the equal treatment they deserve, while {{color|saddlebrown|Japan's}} attention has long since drifted away from its unnatural tributary. {{color|darkorange|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 {{color|salmon|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, {{color|yellow|and yearn for a future, a nation, that could yet be theirs}}.

|As a nominally independent state serving as a de facto economic appendage of Japan, Guangdong is a geopolitical accident - and its people and government suffer from an identity crisis as a result. With a majority Chinese population ruled by a small class of Japanese expatriates, and a small (but growing) group of Cantonese-Japanese residents after over a decade of colonial rule, the people of Guangdong have little attachment to Guangdong as a political concept - but neither are they keen to bow to the will of Nanjing or Tokyo.


Guangdong is caught between two worlds, born of two cultures and accepted by neither. Only time will tell what Guangdong becomes, even as China and Japan go their separate ways.

|[[File:Idea GNG corruption the finest money can buy.png|link=|Culture of Corruption - The Finest Money Can Buy]]<br/>{{color|khaki|Culture of Corruption - The Finest Money Can Buy}}
|A historic inclination towards small - some might say meager - government, massive volumes of financial transactions, and loose oversight have all contributed to turn Guangdong's government into a breeding ground for corruption and graft. The temptation to accept 'tea money' is a universal one, and makes the business of government far more difficult to conduct as extra effort and funding is needed to make sure directives are processed.

|Ever since Guangdong's establishment, the Kenpeitai have played an outsize role in providing security and intelligence services - often eclipsing Guangdong's small and underfunded local police.

This is the kind of praise that comes out of the average investor's mouth when he is asked about the fiscal health of Guangdong.

===[[File:LegCo Icon.png|40px|link=]] The Legislative Council===
[[File:Guangdong LegCo Start.png|320px|thumb|right|Composition of the Legislative Council at the start of 1962|link=]]
''Main article: [[Guangdong (Mechanics)|Legislative Council]]''

Inside {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|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 {{color|yellow|100 of the most important businessmen in Guangdong}}. These businessmen are the ones who vote on the {{color|yellow|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 {{color|salmon|Guangdong}}, or are in some cases {{color|salmon|bought away to change the dynamics of the Council}}.

The Chief Executive proposes the ordinances of the {{icon|legco}}{{color|salmon|Legislative Council}}, and should {{color|yellow|50 seats support the ordinance}}, it will go into effect. The businessmen are not bound loyally to a corporation however. For the {{color|yellow|ordinances of Guangdong}}, the usual voting period for it is {{color|yellow|30 Days}}, though exceptions can occur in special cases. An ordinance usually does not survive {{color|yellow|without changes}} and might need amendments which will be proposed by other parties to seek out more than {{color|yellow|5}} amendments. Whenever a bill's vote had been concluded, it will be archived in the {{color|yellow|ordinance history}}, and will stay there to document the history of {{color|salmon|Guangdong's Legislative Council}}.

===[[File:GNG Suzuki Succession.png|40px|link=]] Suzuki's Succession===
''Main article: [[Guangdong (Mechanics)|Suzuki's Succession]]''
====The Next Chief Executive====
With {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|Suzuki}}'s disappearance and {{icon|yasuda}}{{color|yellow|Yasuda}}'s collapse into ignominy, {{color|yellow|Matsuzawa Takuji}} has become Chief Executive - {{color|red|a poisoned chalice}} thrust upon him by the {{color|yellow|three remaining Tycoons}} of Guangdong. They - {{color|red|Morita Akio,}} {{color|deepskyblue|Ibuka Masaru,}} and {{color|gainsboro|Matsushita Masaharu}} - know that when the dust settles, they are most likely to be chosen to fill the vacant {{color|paleturquoise|Chief Executive}}'s seat, and that the race to succeed {{color|yellow|Matsuzawa}} has already begun. With each filling a role in {{color|yellow|Matsuzawa}}'s Executive Council, the decisions Matsuzawa makes will be critical in deciding who gets the all-important nomination by the {{icon|legco}}{{color|salmon|Legislative Council...}}

====Yasuda's Auction====
...And what becomes of {{icon|yasuda}}{{color|yellow|Yasuda}} itself? Its mighty empire laid low by the economic crisis that bears its name, {{icon|yasuda}}{{color|yellow|Yasuda}}'s remaining assets are to be slated to be auctioned off to repay its creditors. For Guangdong's government, the auction will serve as a {{color|palegreen|valuable source of income}} from commission alone; for the {{color|yellow|tycoons}}, it is an {{color|palegreen|unprecedented opportunity}} to {{color|lightcoral|pick clean the carcass}} of their {{color|yellow|rival}} for a bargain. Whether at a fair parice or not, someone will {{color|palegreen|walk away with the lion's share}} of {{icon|yasuda}}{{color|yellow|Yasuda}}'s business empire - and with it, the loyalty of Yasuda's abandoned men in the Legislative Council.

===[[File:Guangdong Regions Icon.png|40px|link=]] Regions of Guangdong===
''Main article: [[Guangdong (Mechanics)|Regions of Guangdong]]''

Between the Chinese Mainland and the South China Sea lies Guangdong, an artificial state with an artificial culture and identity. In this hot pot of Chinese and Japanese culture lies the three main ethnic groups, the {{icon|chinese}}{{color|royalblue|Chinese}}, the {{icon|zhujin}}{{color|mediumvioletred|Zhujin}}, and the {{icon|japanese}}{{color|darkred|Japanese}}, who in {{color|yellow|each state}} have their own approval of our government. Each of these ethnic groups represent steps in the Cantonese societal ladder, and their support or lack thereof can {{color|palegreen|make}} or {{color|lightcoral|break}} the finances and stability of the {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|State of Guangdong}}.

Though it might not seem like in the midst of the bustling cities of the Three Pearls, {{color|salmon|Guangdong}} is a major refuge as well for the outcasts and criminals of Japanese and Chinese society, the Chinese {{icon|triad}}{{color|limegreen|Triads}} and the Japanese {{icon|yakuza}}{{color|mediumvioletred|Yakuza}}. Our own {{icon|gpf}}{{color|cornflowerblue|Police}} force is not enough to stop these forces from overrunning our nation and turning it into an opium den, but the ones who help us police these groups are as ferocious and corrupt, if not more so. The Japanese {{icon|kenpeitai}}{{color|darkred|Kenpeitai}}, who hold ht people obedient through violence and force. The amount a group controls each state and potentially {{color|yellow|the majority of Guangdong's regions}} will have major effects on the different demographics support for {{color|salmon|Guangdong}}, {{icon|china}}{{color|dodgerblue|Chinese}} and {{icon|japan}}{{color|saddlebrown|Japanese}} support for our government and how {{icon|corruption}}{{color|lightcoral|corrupt}} or not our society will be.

===[[File:Three Evils Guangdong Icon.png|40px|link=]] Three Evils of Guangdong===
''Main article: [[Guangdong (Mechanics)|Three Evils of Guangdong]]''

Even if the {{color|paleturquoise|Chief Executive}} sits atop the food chain in Guangdong, there are {{color|red|three things}} that conspire to throw a wrench in their plan. Two that are outside the {{color|paleturquoise|Chief Executive}}'s direct control - and one that {{color|lightcoral|suffuses everything in Guangdong}}, formless but undeniably present.

The {{icon|japan}}{{color|saddlebrown|Empire of Japan}} - the backer of Guangdong's security and its greatest investor - has expectations that must be met, lest a Chief Executive suffer their {{color|saddlebrown|disapproval}} and open himself to attack by jealous peers. And the {{icon|china}}{{color|dodgerblue|Republic of China}} has never had a very high {{color|dodgerblue|opinion}} of Guangdong - the 'state' carved out of its southern province - and certainly knows how to make life difficult, both for the {{color|yellow|Companies}} and the {{color|paleturquoise|Chief Executive}}, if it is so inclined.

And beyond it all, {{icon|corruption}}{{color|lightcoral|corruption}} seeps into every crack and crevasse, lock up the gears of government with {{color|lightcoral|vice}} and {{color|lightcoral|apathy}}. Even if some would say such is fate of a nation that worships the yen beyond anything else, nobody enjoys having to deal with {{icon|corruption}}{{color|lightcoral|corruption}} - {{color|lightcoral|rotting away at souls, cheapening work, and crimping profits}}.

===[[File:RnD Guangdong Icon.png|40px|link=]] The Product Cycle===
''Main article: [[Guangdong (Mechanics)|The Product Cycle]]''

If one were to see the companies of Guangdong as fierce warriors vying for each other's heads, then the {{color|skyblue|annual Product Launch}} would be their dueling ground; their prized {{color|limegreen|electronics}}, sharp-edged katanas to land the fatal blow.

The path to woo the {{icon|legco}}{{color|salmon|Legislative Council}} with state-of-the-art products is fraught with intricacies. For the successful launch of each and every product two factors are indispensable: {{color|orange|quality control}} and {{color|deepskyblue|advertising}}. {{icon|gngquality}}{{color|gold|Product Quality}} anchors the trust of investors in our endeavors, while {{color|deepskyblue|sufficient advertisement}} accumulates consumer interest from targeted as well as potential markets.

It is through {{color|limegreen|a steady stream of successful launches}} that Guangdong shall maintain its financial prestige, and contribute our part to the {{color|red|Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere's}} global power projection, both soft and hard. But even if product manufacturing lies dormant {{color|skyblue|technology does not}} - for our brightest engineers and researchers across the Three Pearls shall toil day in and day out for the {{color|palegreen|constant perfection of our releases and the optimization of state apparatus}}.

A Product Cycle typically lasts {{color|yellow|100 days}}, after which our creation will be put to the test in the murky waters of capital, depending on how well both {{color|orange|the quality}} and the {{color|deepskyblue|popularity is}}. Release a product of {{color|yellow|immense quality and popularity}}, and watch the political clout of its parent company skyrocket; release an {{color|red|inferior}} product, however, and everything might come crashing down...

===[[File:PTRG Icon.png|40px|link=]] The Product Testing Research Group===
''Main article: [[Guangdong (Mechanics)|The Product Testing Research Group]]''

{{color|salmon|The Chief Executive}} has a vision, one where {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|Guangdong}} is a {{color|deepskyblue|forerunner in the field of modern military arms development}}.

In order to gather the {{color|yellow|much needed testing information}} for producing a {{icon|gngquality}}{{color|gold|greater}}, and more {{icon|gngprofit}}{{color|mediumvioletred|profitable product}}, different objectives here must be completed by the {{color|yellow|Product Testing Research Group's field division}} whilst deployed in conflicts to aid {{color|red|the Co-Prosperity Sphere}}.

The more of these objectives are {{color|limegreen|completed}} when the crisis ends, or the team withdraws, the {{color|orange|higher quality}} a final product we will receive, and we will yield a larger {{color|mediumvioletred|profit margin}} from selling our plans.

We are also able to manufacture additional test-equipment {{color|lightcoral|should too much of it be lost in combat}}, though this will {{color|lightcoral|cost}} both time and money.

===[[File:Miracle Pearl River Icon.png|40px|link=]] Miracle on the Pearl River===
''Main article: [[Guangdong (Mechanics)|Miracle on the Pearl River]]''

{{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|The State of Guangdong}} was carved out of the {{icon|china}}{{color|dodgerblue|Republic of China}} with one express purpose in mind: Using {{color|darkred|Japanese engineering supremacy}} to create wealth benefitting both the {{color|red|Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere}} and investors back in {{icon|japan}}{{color|saddlebrown|Tokyo}}. The thousands of investors who each day analyse {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|Guangdong's economic performance}} from the comfort of the {{color|saddlebrown|Tokyo Stock Exchange}} however, {{color|lightcoral|demand returns on investment}}.

Each year, {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|Guangdong's economic performance}} in form of pure {{color|palegreen|GDP}} will be evaluated, to see if economic growth has {{color|yellow|reached the goal set the year prior}}. The {{color|salmon|State}} derives much of its legitimacy from these evaluations, therefore they maintain great relevancy for the composition of the {{icon|legco}}{{color|salmon|Legislative Council}}, {{icon|japan}}{{color|saddlebrown|Japanese Approval}}, and the {{color|mediumvioletred|demo}}{{color|royalblue|grap}}{{color|darkred|hics}} of {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|Guangdong}}. The eventual goal is for {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|Guangdong}} to overtake {{icon|japan}}{{color|saddlebrown|Japan's favorite subject}} headquartered in {{color|gold|Hsinking}}, where the grand larger economy than the objective is managing a {{icon|manchuria}}{{color|gold|Empire of Manchuria}}.

However, while {{color|palegreen|growth}} and {{color|palegreen|raw economic output}} remains {{color|yellow|paramount}}, maintaining a balanced sheet is tantamount to {{color|yellow|upholding investor trust}}. Should our {{color|lightcoral|debt-to-GDP}} spiral upwards, our {{color|yellow|credit rating}} would {{color|lightcoral|take a hit}}, {{icon|japan}}{{color|saddlebrown|Japan}} would be growing more displeased, our {{icon|politcalpower}}{{color|yellow|political capital}} would be {{color|lightcoral|reduced}}, and trust in {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|Guangdong's}} markets would decrease, leading to an {{color|lightcoral|increase}} in {{color|lightcoral|inflation}}.
Therefore, keeping {{color|yellow|our spending}} and {{color|lightcoral|debt}} in control is of {{color|yellow|great importance}} for maintaining the {{color|chocolate|Miracle on the Pearl River}}.

===[[File:Guangdong Riots Icon.png|40px|link=]] The Guangdong Riots===
''Main article: [[Guangdong (Mechanics)|The Guangdong Riots]]''

{{color|firebrick|Two decades of oppression. Boiling ethnic tensions. A society built on exploitation of the weak.}} These are the things the {{icon|gngrioters}}{{color|chocolate|Rioters}} have been facing in the {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|State of Guangdong}}, and what they are demanding to end.

In their attempt to destroy the {{color|firebrick|Pan-Asian}} {{color|salmon|Corporate Experiment}}, the {{icon|chinese}}{{color|royalblue|Chinese}} have organized under the {{icon|gngccl}}{{color|firebrick|Committee of Chinese Labor}}, while the {{icon|zhujin}}{{color|mediumvioletred|Zhujin}} stand under the {{icon|gnggft}}{{color|springgreen|Guangdong Federation of Tradesmen}}. The severity of their actions depend on {{icon|gngstrength}}{{color|darkred|strength}} and {{icon|gngradicalism}}{{color|red|radicalism}}, where if these two spiral out of control, {{color|red|who knows what will happen to the State?}}

If {{color|salmon|the Chief Executive}} is to {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|save Guangdong}}, he must subjugate these two groups, either by {{color|lightcoral|force}} or by {{color|limegreen|negotiation}}. To do either, the {{color|salmon|State}} must take sufficient measures to curb the groups' {{icon|gngstrength}}{{color|darkred|strength}} and {{icon|gngradicalism}}{{color|red|radicalism}}. Yet time is a limited resource, as the {{icon|legco}}{{color|salmon|LegCo}} grows ever more {{icon|gngdespair}}{{color|coral|desperate and irrational}}, and the {{icon|gngfrustration}}{{color|saddlebrown|Japanese grow ever more frustrated}}, as long as the {{color|firebrick|streets of Guangdong are ablaze}}.

''Main article: [[Guangdong (Paths)#Matsushita|The Ascendant Heir]]''

The Legislative Council has voted to elect {{color|darkgray|Matsushita Masaharu}} of {{icon|matsushita}}{{color|gainsboro|Matsushita Electric}} as the new Chief Executive of Guangdong. Representing a middle ground between Guangdong's {{color|mediumvioletred|reformists}} and {{color|red|corporate hardliners}}, {{color|darkgray|Matsushita}} promises and administration guided by tempered reform and economic expansion. However, {{color|darkgray|Matsushita}} is neither an engineer nor a salesman, making him something of an outsider among Guangdong's {{color|red|ruling class}}. Whether this will prove his {{color|darkred|undoing}}, or rather the greatest {{color|palegreen|opportunity}} to prove himself yet, remains to be seen.

===[[File:Sony_Icon.png|40px|link=|Morita Akio]] Sony===
''Main article: [[Guangdong (Paths)#Sony|The Gadgeteer of Guangdong]]''

The Legislative Council has voted to elect {{color|tan|Morita Akio}} of {{icon|sony}}{{color|red|Sony Corporation}} as the new Chief Executive of Guangdong. A voice of {{color|mediumvioletred|reform}} on the Pearl Delta, {{color|tan|Morita}} is a champion of Guandong's {{color|yellow|Cantonese}}-{{color|red|Japanese}} {{color|mediumvioletred|Zhujin}} class, and will seek to improve the status of the state's {{color|yellow|native population}}. However, {{color|tan|Morita's}} new administration is not without its opponents, especially from Guangdong's {{color|red|Japanese elite}} and {{color|red|corporate hardliners}}, embodied by {{color|tan|Morita's}} former business partner Ibuka Masaru.

===[[File:Fujitsu_Icon.png|40px|link=|Ibuka Masaru]] Fujitsu===
''Main article: [[Guangdong (Paths)#Fujitsu|The Silicon Visionary]]''

The Legislative Council has voted to elect {{color|darkgray|Ibuka Masaru}} of {{icon|fujitsu}}{{color|deepskyblue|Fujitsu Limited}} as the new Chief Executive of Guangdong. A brilliant engineer and key figure among Guandong's {{color|red|corporate hardliners}}. {{color|darkgray|Ibuka}} seeks to build a meritocratic, technocratic state, free to pursue technological innovation free of restraint. This digitized vision of the future, however, does not include much regard for Guangdong's {{color|yellow|native population}}, and {{color|darkgray|Ibuka's}} opposition to reform is sure to draw ire, especially from his former business partner {{color|tan|Morita Akio}}. But {{color|darkgray|Ibuka}} is no stranger to emnity, and Guangdong will bend to his will, one way or another. {{color|deepskyblue|For the Pearl Delta is but a canvas, and Ibuka Masaru hold the brush.}}

One singular night. In the space of six hours, the course of South Chinese history has been changed {{color|lightcoral|forever}}. What months of preparation, planning and deals has culminated in, Komai has executed in one, final masterstroke. The Big Four Corporations in {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|Guangdong}} lie shattered, their leaders in limbo of what their place in {{color|tan|Komai's}} new order shall be, and {{icon|hitachi}}{{color|tan|Hitachi}} rules as its maestro, its leader, its God.

Chaos has descended upon {{icon|gng}}{{color|salmon|Guangdong}}, with many refusing to accept the hostile takeover. Riots have spread like wildfire, and with brutality not seen since Japan's subjugation of Asia, have been quashed in their entirety. While {{icon|manchuria}}{{color|gold|Manchuria}} may celebrate. {{icon|china}}{{color|dodgerblue|China}} may weep and {{icon|japan}}{{color|saddlebrown|Japan}} shall look on in a muted silence, the question of what {{color|tan|Komai's}} Guangdong shall truly look like forms.
