Republic of Hong Kong (official from 23rd May 2022/1447) | Pro-China Camp (capitulated)

 * Government: Unitary parliamentary republic
 * Chief Executive: Position dissolved on 23rd May 2022/1447
 * President of Hong Kong: Joshua Wong (since 23rd May 2022)
 * Prime Minister of Hong Kong: Lawrence Su (I made a random person up instead of coveting on searching up people that I don't care)
 * Hong Kong Legislative Council:
 * Democratic Party of Kong Kong (75 representatives) (merger of all pro-democracy camps)
 * Social Democratic Movement (23 representatives) (official opposition)
 * Independent (2 representatives)
 * Military: As the Hong Kong Civil War came to an end with the Ming Dynasty, with all its organised troops pouring into Hong Kong to finally breach the defences and forces of the PLA garrison, the paramilitary of Hong Kong became officially the Hong Kong Armed Forces. The HKAF comprised of 60,000 personnel (with thousands more casualties being counted during the battle and will be remembered) prior to the official inauguration of the Republic on 23rd May. Weapons belonging to the PCC are now being taken away and be put into the hands of the newly formed 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, but they are still lacking sufficient material to start manufacturing ammunition. That means that guns are almost out of the choice for now and that melee weapons is still the most popular choice of weapons.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Ming Dynasty: Hong Kong requests trade deals to transfer raw materials (including coal which Hong Kong needs to restart coal power plants) and building materials to rebuild the city from a year-long battle. They also want to build their own mines within the Ming Dynasty and hope to be "generous". In exchange for taxes (40% of the stuff) that they might be expected to pay, 60% of the materials must be taken back to Hong Kong to utilise reconstruction and restarting infrastructure before the chaos that happened in the last three years.
 * South China Sea: The demand of a surrender from the Hong Kong government is issued to those Mainlanders who are still stuck in Kowloon and those existing still in the South China Sea. The condition is for them to surrender and that any ships parked within the territorial waters must be withdrawn or be ceded to Hong Kong (giving them the chance to perhaps use them in the near future, but not now). They must also respect the independence of both Taiwan and Hong Kong in a new era, demanding that their delusional belief that they're part of former PRC is "gone" with this. A more extreme one is to cede their territory away as well. It won't perhaps happen, but due to their own backed PCC faction capitulating, they probably have no choice as they are running low of fuel.
 * Economy: After the long bloody civil war, Hong Kong is nearly being put into destruction and rubble. The economy remains largely primitive, but efforts to rebuild infrastructure that was destroyed from the war are underway and to rebuild the economy from scratch and hopefully turn Hong Kong into a trading hub (again). 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, making some value. Food on the other hand, had been largely stabilised and secure with deals with the Ming Dynasty to give Hongkongers food, though no word on vertical farming (since Hong Kong doesn't have better technology to make it happen), small community farms are now being established across Hong Kong to provide limited 'emergency amounts of food' in the case of trade deals being cut by a future Emperor. Raw and building materials, along with essential fossil fuels such as coal and oil (which might not be attainable in China though) are prioritised, so to electrify the city again after the last of the resource that was gone into these power plants.
 * Events:
 * Battle for Hong Kong: The Battle of Hong Kong has started to turn to the favours of the Republic. Even though their defences and hard-earned fight against the Republic and their allies have been done enough to stall further, the Republic of Hong Kong is now being backed by the Ming Imperial Army and that it greatly helps them to finally end the war by 20th May and a treaty being signed between both sides to finally dismantle the PCC. The Ming Imperial Army swooped in as a form of a surprise attack that the PCC didn't expect and soon, many of their commanders have surrendered. The casualties have been calculated for the battle, with rough estimated guesses, since people have been unable to count the number of dead bodies. With the PCC having least casualties, by 580 for their own forces and ~70,000 civilians (both direct or indirect), the Republic of Hong Kong estimates that their own casualties is roughly ~100,000 in lower estimates and ~210,000 in upper estimates. The number of forces of their paramilitary lost is roughly around ~25,000 to ~31,000. In total, the number of civilian casualties with both sides is ~170,000 to ~340,000, while the number of soldiers/forces lost (only for the PCC and the Republic) is counted to be around ~25,580 to ~23,580. There isn't enough room to make a memorial for all of the honourable heroes (as they were called for those lost to the battle of Hong Kong to the PCC) lost to the battle and mass cremation would take a long effort as well to process (not to mention it would waste resources), so corpses were instead somehow dumped into the sea.
 * Establishing a Republic: The Republic of Hong Kong's constitution is basically a transcribed version of the Basic Law that used to be for SAR Hong Kong. It is written on paper that is supposed to be used for printing purposes and then stapled two times on the left side of the papers, so it is essential for these papers to remain secure. This paper however, represented the common people, rather than being a fancy government. But, there are now key changes, to ensure that this constitution truly makes it independent. The government system that is modelled back last year will be transferred over, with universal suffrage being guranteed, that there will be an independent inquiry in the case of government corruption and that the police force will be controversially in the hands of the Hong Kong military that would be called the Hong Kong Armed Forces (since the Hong Kong police were pro-Beijing and so, many of the Hongkongers agreed that the police department will not be reinstated). The HKAF will create a smaller division, one where no guns or "harmful" weapons that are used by the police in the past, solely to keep Hong Kong lawful and fair. Taser guns are allowed (though useless), but no plastic bullets and that the use of chemical weapons like tear gas in arsenals, should it be manufactured again, be limited. Some are concerned that this would make Hong Kong more likely derail into anarchy, but for now, everyone in the pro-democratic camp seems satisfied. The President will have a more of a ceremonial role with elections of a President being held for every six years, while the Legislative Council, filled with 100 members who would split evenly through proportional voting, can be elected every three years, with the next election being scheduled for 2025/1450. With the Constitution of Hong Kong being put into effect, the elections held on 1st June 2022/1447 began. Since the PCC's parties are largely banned by the Republic of Hong Kong and have been marked as a shadow of its past, remnants of the PCC came to form a left-wing party called the Social Democratic Movement while those formerly part of the pro-democracy camp are merged into one party, the Democratic Party of Hong Kong. These elections held in 2022/1447 would see the DPHK winning a majority of the seats so far, with two independent seats being given whose values and policies don't align with those parties.
 * Reconstruction: The remainder of the year saw Hong Kong beginning its plans to reconstruct the largely ravaged city that was essentially almost razed to the ground to being a trading hub. Stock markets and much are meaningless, so these goals remain here to stay. There are two basic phases, with the first one restoring Hong Kong back to "normal and liveable living standards" and the second to promote it into a major trading centre of the east, which could rival Taipei (though can't be guaranteed) and begin their plan to expand into the seas. To do this however, is that they have to look towards the Ming Dynasty. Their untapped natural resources (well some of them have been currently exploited), has inspired few of the new entrepreneurs of this era to ask for mines to be set up and to ship these back to Hong Kong for the purpose of reconstructing and building/converting manufacturing plants. Fishing has largely being stabilised, as large ships of the PLA Navy from the south China Sea seem to have calmed by now. Interest of exploration has also risen, along with some who begin to start considering an official "calendar transition", which meant that they would have to drop off the old Gregorian calendar in favour of a new calendar that is aligned with the year 1447. This idea is not yet popular.
 * The PLA Garrison: Those who have surrendered are either being put on "bail", meaning that they would have to work for 10 to 30 years (depending on their military rankings) or in prison, as in the case of few highest-ranking officials (numbering 12). They have largely been stripped of their weapons, meaning they won't be able to fight again with their own weapons manufactured by a nation that no longer exist. The short-lived idea of eonism (a term that is now coined for the purpose of dividing the uptimers and downtimers, the uptimers meaning those who have been exiled to 1444 and downtimers being those who lived in 1444) had also dropped singificantly within Hong Kong too.
