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 2018, and the construction of a third aircraft carrier is expected to finish by 2019 or 2020. 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 personnel.
 * Wars & Conflicts: 
 * Operation Yat-sen:
 * Mongolian Coup: 
 * 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 2017 and it lands on the Moon in December 15, 2017. 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 (WIP)
 * Diplomacy:
