Talk:A World of War (Map Game)/@comment-26031225-20161221143939

People's Republic of China
 * Goverment: The goverment remains the same, with the PRC being a police state where one party rules supreme and where freedom of speech is restricted. With the increase of tensions with the West, the censorship in the Internet with the "Great Firewall of China" becomes more noticeable, as lots of websites are blocked and replaced with the ones approved by the Chinese goverment. Despite this, the goverment has recently implemented a policy of giving some autonomy to the regions of Xinjiang and Tibet, as a way of preventing revolts in said areas. The one-child policy has also been replaced with a two-child policy, although many leaders of the Communist Party oppose this move, and the two-child policy might be reconsidered soon. Meanwhile, Xi Jinping decides to focus on investing in military and technology in response to the increasing threat of World War III.
 * Military: Since conscription is technically compulsory but not enforced, the goverment decided to start to enforce it now. Every Chinese must serve at least 1 year in the PLA at the age of 18. They just recieve basic training and they're partially prepared to defend their homeland (those are not counted in military statisticts).
 * People's Liberation Army: As 200,000 troops are recruited this year, the total number of the PLA rises to 4.5 million, with 2.5 million being active troops and 2 million being reserves. With the increase of imperialism around the world, recruiting is going to be done within the next few years, but not massive recuitment like Germany, since the PLA must have a certain degree of quality.
 * PLA Ground Forces: With China planning to create a vast empire, the ground forces become the second priority, and more tanks and AFVs are built. The PRC begins a project for replacing the older tank models with newer ones, mostly producing Type 96 and Type 99 tanks (Type 99 is not massively produced because of its high cost, although it is considered one of the best tanks in the world). By the end of the year, the PRC had 9,153 tanks, 4,792 AFVs (Armored Fighting Vehicles), 1,792 SPGs (Self-Propelled Guns), 6,290 towed artillery and ~1,800 MLRSs.
 * PLA Navy: Out from the three main military branches, the PLA Navy recieves the most funding since Xi Jinping thinks that the PRC needs to have the strongest and most modernized navy in the region in order to be able to defeat Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines once WW3 begins. The Chinese Aircraft Carrier program goes on as the second chinese aircraft carrier Xialoin has been nearly completed and equiped with the latest naval technology. Xialoin will be finished by 2017, and the construction of a third aircraft carrier is expected to finish by 2018 or 2019. Currently, the PLAN consists of 1 aircraft carrier, 50 frigates, 43 destroyers, 26 corvettes, 69 submarines, and 138 coastal defense craft. The PLAN has an estimated of 255,000 personeel. Patroling ships are also sent all over the Chinese territorial waters.
 * PLA Air Force: Since the PRC is mostly focusing on the Navy and the Ground Forces, the PLAAF isn't recieving too much funding, but aircraft is regularly produced each year. Currently, the PRC has 1,230 fighters/interceptors, 1,385 fixed-wing attack aircraft, 790 transport aircraft and around 1,000 helicopters, from which around 200 are attack helicopters. Overall, the total aircraft power of the PRC is estimated to be 2,942, counting with ~400,000 personeel.
 * Wars & Conflicts: Although China originally planned to intervene in the Afghan Civil War, after some secret agreements were made with the Taliban group, the operation was cancelled. Instead, China decided to invade Bhutan with the forces that were going to be used to intervene in Afghanistan.
 * Bhutan War: The chinese quickly prepare Operation Mountain, which is the invasion and conquest of Buthan. Although the movement will probably be seen as imperialist and enrage the Indian goverment (and make them join NATO), the PRC considers that gaining ground in the region is worth the risks. After planning out the whole operation for some weeks, the operation finally begins on March 29th as 75,000 troops in board of trucks and other armored vehicles cross the border into Bhutan along with 2 batallions of Type 96 tanks, taking the town of Trashi Yangtse in the northern part of the country. The town was captured with little to no opposition and civilian casualties were mostly avoided. However, the troops stay in the town for a couple days, expecting RAB (Royal Army of Bhutan) reinforcements to arrive. By April 1st, most of the RAB and Bhutanese militia arrived to the town in order to retake control of it. However, the chinese troops attacked them from the outsides of the city before they could even enter, effectively making an ambush. Meanwhile, the PLA Air Force makes a surprise entrance into the city of Thimpu, dropping at least 50,000 paratroopers. The PLAAF did not conduct any airstrikes or bombings in order to keep casualties low, and Bhutan doesn't has an air force so there wasn't fighting in the sky. The paratroopers quickly seize control over Bhutan's capital, defeating the remaining RAB forces and Militias. With the capitulation of Timphu, the King is forced to sign an unconditional surrender; the People's Republic of Bhutan is proclaimed the next day and the King is forced to leave the charge, although he is still allowed to live a good life in Bhutan along with his family but he will not be allowed to get power. The total number of casualties was 6,300, from which 4,300 are Bhutan militia or RAB Forces, 600 are chinese troops, and the rest are civilians. Bhutan is now a chinese puppet state.
 * Operation FSM-15: The PRC launches a military operation on the pacficic codenamed FSM-15 to secure Chinese presence in the region. 2,000 troops on board of around 25 military ships are sent to take over the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and Palau. Islands fall to the PRC one by one, as the three nations have practically no defence forces. A couple tanks and armored vehicles are also used to seize control over the capitols. After taking over the two weak nations, the People's Republic of Micronesia is established by merging the three former countries.
 * Operation Chr-Ismap Ping: In order to gain control over trading, the nation of Panama is invaded in January for the sake of securing the Panama Canal. 50,000 troops are used for this operation, and since Panama barely has any defence forces, the nation is easily defeated. The area of the Canal is kept under direct control while a puppet state is established in the rest of the country.
 * Operation Urdestan: Operation Urdestan is launched after the invasion of Laos and Cambodia. 450,000 troops are used to invade the nation of Thailand. Half of the country is occupied by the end of the year.
 * Operation Yat-sen: Laos and Cambodia are invaded with 300,000 troops. They remain occupied for the rest of the year.
 * Technology: As stated before, the PRC is currently focusing on developing new military technologies, examples of this are the gradual modernization of the ground forces and the aircraft carrier programs. Aditionally, it is worth mentioning that some Chinese scientists have come up with the concept of a sustainable railgun, which they've simply called "Railgun I". The goverment decides to fund this project, however since they only have the concept, railguns won't be available for military use until 2020s.
 * Space Program: The goverment increases the budget of the CNSA (China National Space Administration) to speed up the plans on sending a manned mission to The Moon. The Chang'e 5 mission, which was expected to finish until 2017, is able to do so this year thanks to the increased funding. A lunar lander is sent in late 2016 and it lands on the Moon in December 15, 2016. The objective is to obtain samples and to explore the lunar surface. It is expect that China will be able to send a manned mission by 2020.
 * Economy: Still the world's largest economy although a bit slowled down because of the recent spendings (rushing this section
 * Yulin Dog Meat Festival: Despite the opposition of western people, the Yulin dog meat festival goes on and this time the locals use up to 12,000 dogs, breaking the previous record of 10,000. The Festival atracts some tourism but it is widely condemned by others. The Chinese goverment remains silent about this issue.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Shangai Pact: An alliance is created with another 5 or so nations in order to compete with the ICAN.
 * North Korea: Economic support is sent to North Korea, hoping to help them improve their economy and establish closer ties. 5000 troops are also sent as relationships with South Korea become more tense. The PRC guarantees the independence of North Korea.
 * Vietnam: Viewing Vietnam as potential ally in the region, the PRC finally gives up its claim over Spratly Islands, recognizing Vietnamese sovereignity over the islands. Relations are slolwly being improved, hoping to gain Vietnam as an ally in the future. A free trade agreement and alliance request is sent. Their independence is also guaranteed
