Location: The National Imperialist Front

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The New Chinese Republic of Democratic Asia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Premier Deng with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.315 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shenyang. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism industries.

Record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Democratic Asia's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Unified Yuan.

Democratic Asia is ranked 9th in The National Imperialist Front and 92,307th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
