A new 'Civ of the Week'...LOL!
THE PACIFIC ALLIANCE:
Leader: Secretary Xu Xiangqian
Capital City: Pacifica
Government Type: Hegemonious Dictatorship (CIV2 communism)
Economy Level:
Military Power: Not a superpower, but with scope for improvement as government investment increases.
Brief History:
In the years after the collapse of Japan and the USA at the end of WW2, China found itself with direction.
With the assassination of Mao and seeing the failure of Russian communism, the Chinese under Chiang Kai-shek
had to contend with years of inter-province strife and exploitation by European interests.
The formation of the GEU brought changes to the whole Asian world, nations could become members of this
lucrative capitalist entity and be under it's protection. At least this was the wording of the charter.
A battered and defeated Japan was the first to enter into the GUE Accords, following the abdication of the
Emperor. Still in the throes of chaos after years of strife, China decided to also make a petition to join
the Economic Union. Promises of military help was not forth-coming immediately, but progress was made as
ordinary Chinese became confident and financially able to improve city areas. Rural life was still hard
though, and the growth of the Red Empire in the 1950-60s was a constant fear.
The saga of Xu Xiangqian began with the UFA war against Vietnam. The communists there had been spreading
turmoil throughout the country and had been making a terrorist network across the neighbouring islands,
this was achieved with backing from the Red Empire under Zhukov, who despised the American influence.
As a young officer, Xu Xiangqian was present in Vietnam, where he represented the Chinese government.
He gained much respect from the Americans, helping the UFA as a liaison (1968) and then official
attaché (1971). The Vietnamese and Russians where crushed and the UFA withdrew, leaving the GEU
to gain control of the various vanquished cities. It was around this time that the idea of the
Pacific Alliance was conceived by Chiang Kai-shek, tired as he was of the GUE's corruption and
broken promises. It was becoming clear that the GEU was using the world's issues as a way of
increasing their power and funnelling cash into illegal operations, like funding the Russians.
Chiang Kai-shek's death (1974) left the way open for the now powerful Xu Xiangqian to step in.
His first act was to dissolve the GEU's Chinese office, and seize all GEU assets in Peking for
Chinese use. This was met with various riots and clashes with the GEU and with cities who did
not wish to break away from the union's control. Hong Kong, Japan and the Dutch East Indies all
decided to ignore Xu Xiangqian's new order and stayed with the GEU, serious bloodshed was averted
by intersession by the UFA, and they graciously offered to support China in return for their
vigilance and intelligence updates on the Red Empire. The new power became known as the Pacific
Alliance, with Peking being renamed Pacifica. A brave new face, upon an ancient nation.
Xu Xiangqian has proven to be an able and sometimes-ruthless leader, he is also a great patron of
Chinese culture and art, and has personally financed the Chinese movie industry. He is a shrewd
diplomat and has managed to keep a very un-neighbourly GEU and Red Empire in check for the last
five years. His prestige is high in Europe, and the Germans have invested in China, impressed as
they are with this right-wing bulwark in Asia.
Surrounded by hostile powers, and with an uncertain financial and military future,
it is most fortunate China has one of the potentially greatest leaders in charge.

EDIT: Got rid of the attached image and message since Curt already added a new city in Madagascar, which is a very nice addition, BTW.
Still, I've seriously considered making a scenario about Libya's invasions of Chad (which explains my more detailed knowledge of the region) - but if someone would be so inclined as to produce a map of Libya and Chad, I'd certainly be happy to restart the project. I'll quit before I go too far off on a tangent.
