The Chinese Republic of Xiang Gang is a nation in the Meritocracy. Although ancient, with a population of nearly 5 billion, it was insular for much of its existence. After a 30-year-long economic boom, the developed economy is now cooling. Government expenditure has increased greatly over the past 5 years as the government turns to the improvement of the quality of life of its citizens instead of improvement of the conditions for big business.
The Republic is a member of the Meritocratic Accords Senate, SATO, the SATO Free Trade Agreement and the SATO Open Borders Convention.
