China

China refers to two nations, but both will be talked about here.

China is a nation in Polaris located in East Asia. It was originally a nation known as Xing when it was added inCycle I, but later on the name Xing referred to the nation that unified China in Cycle IV.

History
Xing was added as a nation in Cycle I, and remained until Cycle IV, when China was divided. Xing unified China, but was later taken down by the Communist Party after World War II. The remnants of the Republic of China were exiled to the island of Mando, where they are known as Mando-China.

China today is separating itself from the slowly stagnating nation of Drachma, which it shares its government type with, and creating their own form of communism (known here as Chinese Communism). They are planning to start their own space program, along with North Amestris.

Trivia
The six-pointed star on Communist China's flag is a symbol of the East Asian region. There is a petition to change the star on the flag of the Moskva Pact to a six-pointed one.There is a petition in Mando-China to change its name to

"Republic of Mando", along with a flag change.

Despite Mando-China having been a target of the Kusari Empire, Mando-China still maintains a good relationship with Kusari.

Xing has an alternate communist flag (shown below).
