Republic of Hong Kong

 * Government: Unitary parliamentary republic
 * President of Hong Kong: Joshua Wong (since 2022/1447) (next election due 2028/1453)
 * Prime Minister of Hong Kong: Lawrence Su
 * Hong Kong Legislative Council: (next election due 2028/1453)
 * Democratic Party of Kong Kong (62 representatives) (government)
 * Social Democratic Movement (35 representatives) (official opposition)
 * Independent (3 representatives)
 * Military: The Hong Kong Armed Forces (HKAF) comprises of 65,000 personnel. Weapons belonging to the PCC are now being taken away and be put into the hands of the HKAF, though ammunition and such had been depleted so much from these battles that they were almost meaningless. Arms factories were built in workshops and former factories that used to produce manufacturing goods for civilians. Mines are being established in the Ming Dynasty to bring raw resources into Hong Kong to start manufacturing some experimental firearms (albeit they are partially crude as Hong Kong doesn't have much skills in building and designing guns) and copying some of the weapon designs of those held by the PCC, but even so the priority of building firearms are low in favour of reconstruction and melee combat. The HKAF is aware of a peasant uprising in Guangzhou that is suspected to be carried out by the PCC (with captives of ex-PCC soldiers claiming so, but not yet verified due to the distance) and would be ready to defend, should they continue to grow stronger. Hong Kong also has its own navy since it started making its plans to explore and make its hopes of revitalising Hong Kong, but most of their ships are stolen from what's left of the PLA assets, plus they don't have a lot of fuel to go with.
 * Diplomacy: N/A
 * Economy: After reconstruction, Hong Kong has a stable and working economy for the first time since the Crisis had started. Currency, of what remains of the Hong Kong dollar is not used a lot since the crisis, but the notes have been ditched in favour of only using coins to trade, since the value of these coins are more important than banknotes. Food on the other hand, had been largely stabilised and secure with deals with the Ming Dynasty to give Hongkongers food, with small community farms across Hong Kong being considered the emergency reserve for food, along with fishing in case of relations changing or trading has been blocked. Raw and building materials, along with essential fossil fuels such as coal and oil are prioritised and heavily invested upon by businesses in Hong Kong, so to electrify the city again and refine some of the resources for the purpose of refuelling essentials such as large ships.
 * Events:
 * 2025/1450 Hong Kong Parliamentary Elections: The elections are held. As expected, the polls are highly confident that Hong Kong's current government would retain the position of being government, with a slight growth of opposition. The issues that were largely concerned in Hong Kong included the peasant uprisings in Guangzhou, which continue (perhaps) to be a problem since Ming Dynasty has been largely relied upon for Hong Kong to invest and whether they should start manufacturing higher quality weapons than the current status. Since the reconstruction's first phase is over, the second phase is highly debated as to whether expanding Hong Kong's control would be the future or if they should stay small instead and become a trading hub. These ideas would later morph as months go by and it seems that they've decided to drop the move to turn Hong Kong into a trading centre. But the main goal is to still rebuild and re-electrify Kowloon and Hong Kong essentially, where the tall buildings and skyscrapers are, which are still abandoned, yet are a risk of collapse in the long-term.
 * Oil Exploration: With the message back in South China Sea prompting for the dreams of oil revitalisation coming back to the talks of government officials, they begin sending out scouts. Despite the continued peasant uprising, the exploration and finding of oil is important. Reasons aside from South China Sea included the fact that fuel reserves are running out, even with rations and the banning of automobile usage, which because of the ban of the car from being regularly used, they are being worn out over the years. There are too many projects to handle, with few of the factories and power plants are still under construction. Having another project, a refinery would continue to drag building materials down. In the short-term, they would need to obtain few barrels of oil. Once all other projects are finished (set by roughly 3 to 5 years' time), new projects would come out, including an oil refinery plant.
 * South China Sea Report: Knowing that there is a shortage of oil and fuel to power these ships (even though they can be seized for Hong Kong and prove 'dominance' over South China Sea), the ship is to be called back. However, this did prompt the oil exploration and drilling calls within Hong Kong, so in the near-future, hopes of refining oil into fuel would soon be at the hands of Hongkongers.
 * Preparing for the Philippines: Another explorer ship is to be called back from the island of Luzon. They know that even though the Philippines is gone to an extent, they see the Philippines as a viable land for colonisation and exploitation, of course the natives may see some of the explorers that Hong Kong sent being 'different', they want to make their profits. Hong Kong is moving out of hoping to become a trade hub, to becoming a 'colonial' empire by first focusing on these islands. It will take decades to develop and years to prepare ships carrying few hundreds of civilians there, as they lack the access and support that they would need from Hong Kong, even though they are so close to proximity, it's to ensure that they are self-reliant.
