People's Republic of China
 * Government: 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.
 * Sesame Credit: After increased funding and conducting multiple tests, Sesame Credit is finally finished and it is now being effectively implemented all over the country. Sesame Credit is a social credit scoring system developed by Ant Financial Services Group, an affiliate of the Chinese Alibaba Group and associate of the Chinese government. It uses data from Alibaba's services to compile its score, which include two services that have been described as the equivalents of Twitter and Facebook in China and another service that has been described as the equivalent of Amazon and eBay. The score is used to rank citizens of China based on a variety of factors like loyalty to the Chinese government and loyalty to Chinese brands based on social media interactions and online purchases. The rewards of having a high score include easier access to loans, easier access to jobs and priority during bureaucratic paperwork. Likewise, the immediate negative consequences for a low score, or being associated to someone with a low score, range from lower internet speeds to being denied access to job offers, loans and bureaucratic paperwork.
 * 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: A massive recruitment program is put in place following Brazil's example. The main source of recruitment are unemployed and young people who have been convinced through propaganda and fake promises of wealth for their family. Thanks to this, by the end of the year we were able to achieve the following numbers;
 * 4,987,000 active personnel
 * 15,105,000 reserve personnel (undergoing training)
 * 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). The Ground Forces consist of;
 * 6,973 combat tanks
 * 5,104 armored fighting vehicles
 * 1,809 self-propelled artillery
 * 6,299 towed artillery
 * 1,784 rocket projectors
 * 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. Patroling ships are also sent all over the Chinese territorial waters. The Navy is made up by;
 * 1 aircraft carrier
 * 55 frigates
 * 37 destroyers
 * 36 corvettes
 * 242 patrol craft
 * 71 submarines
 * 33 mine warfare vessels
 * 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. The Air Force's military power includes;
 * 1,322 fighter aircraft
 * 1,401 attack aircraft
 * 833 transport aircraft
 * 487 trainer aircraft
 * 1,165 helicopters
 * 351 attack helicopters
 * Wars & Conflicts: 
 * Operation Yat-sen: The superior Chinese fleet is sent to Taiwanese waters and with support of the PLAAF they are able to defeat the Taiwanese Navy, destroying many of their ships. While the battle wages in the sea, the PLAAF uses carpet bombing in major cities like Taipei to crumble Taiwan's military capacities. After causing enough destruction, the PLAAF withdraws from the area to support another military operation. An ultimatum is sent, demanding the inmediate surrender of Taiwan, otherwise the PRC will invade by land and there will be more bloodshed. At least 40 vessels remain in Taiwanese waters to patrol the area, including one aircraft carrier.
 * 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: The frighteningly efficient Chinese economy, worth 11.8 trillion US Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 10,000 USD, with the richest citizens earning 18.3 times as much as the poorest.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Japan: Don't even dare to intervene in Taiwan unless you want to be crushed as well.
 * Taiwan: Surrender now, and we'll help you rebuild, you'lll be also allowed to keep a capitalist model just like Hong Kong and Macau. Refuse, and expect further consequences.
