The former Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong

 * Government: Former autonomous region, under an emergency government and divided into two factions (passive civil war going on here)Hong_Kong_Anakhronismos.png
 * Chief Executive: Vacant (since 20th November 2019/1444)
 * Military: Hong Kong is divided up into two 'military' sections, one is the PLA garrison that is based in Hong Kong prior to the displacement (6,000 troops based in Hong Kong) and the other is civilians who become the paramilitary, which numbered tens of thousands (somewhere between 80,000 to 95,000) with makeshift weapons. After tensions (for now) have thawed from initial violence and shock, the police (numbering roughly 36,000 prior to the Event) were integrated into the PLA as an extra branch in the pro-China camp, increasing the number of forces to approximately 40,000.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Ming Dynasty: (Note the Hongkonger refugees outside have been able to contact with the Emperor, but the Hongkongers and Mainlanders within Hong Kong are unaware of their activities, so their assumption is that they have been unaware of what is happening outside of southern China)
 * Peasants: The pro-Chinese camp sends out 30 personnel from the PLA garrison disguised as peasants while hiding armed weapons beneath their clothing so to not increase their awareness to what used to be Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Huizhou, Shanwei and Macau by foot. Their goal is to tell peasants that the region that they come from is heaven and that they come down to tianxia show that the Ming Dynasty is filled with greedy governors, nobles, merchants (who the PCC say are 'distrustful' and take everything from the peasants) and the Emperor not caring for peasants. They also affirm that they were sent down to tianxia because the gods were unhappy with China. In order to gain their trust, if they accepted the belief that the people of Hong Kong came from heaven, they would supply them with "hand cannons" (which are just guns), knowledge (though the emperor knows what would happen next, note that Hong Kong is still unaware of these advisors) in exchange that they give them food and raw materials to make these hand cannons and build factories within Hong Kong, along with the chance to rebel if given the chance. Knowledge in particular must be limited to knowledge of handling firearms, crafting and basic stuff from the present day. The teachings of Xi Jinping Thought, Marxism and any ideology (especially democracy even though its an alien concept to them, this would spark a backstabbing fear) is discouraged actively, along with any certain future technologies to them such as how to operate a computer (redundant) or to operate a military ship, as to maintain the fact that they are inferior to Hongkongers. Electricity however could be permitted as knowledge in order to operate some equipment, though Hong Kong is still in the dark in most places. They hope that they could incite a peasant rebellion from this to gain what they want as time is running out.
 * Imperial Army: The Imperial Army currently poses a threat to Hong Kong if they weren't united, (see Peasants for PCC's response to the arrival) but for the Republic of Hong Kong and the central government, they decide to leave them be, believing that staying out of their affairs would save more lives than fighting with them through other means, plus the Republic of Hong Kong's paramilitary wouldn't stand a more organised army and that their makeshift weapons, umbrellas (which are useless with bows than say tear gas) and salvaged 'shields' were comparatively almost equal to them in numbers.
 * Other PLA bases/territories: Even though it might be as well fruitless to continue after hearing no response within two months, some commanders within the PCC still wanted to continue their search to find other PRC/PLA bases/cities for the next twelve months. If none are found, then they would be required to cease sending out radio signals.
 * Taiwan: The Republic of Hong Kong and some members of the emergency government (even those tilted to the PCC) accepted the deal, but the PCC and the PLA garrison in Hong Kong does not respond to the demand. The Republic of Hong Kong believed that they were the only choice to help protect Hong Kong and install a democracy, so Taiwan's unexpected introduction has ushered in a lot of praise and celebration for many of those fighting against "the remnants of evil communists". The response back is that they would give them what they want, but they want to ensure that those who are part of the HKPF and the PLA garrison in Hong Kong must be removed from power.
 * Economy: With shortage of water and food (there isn't much of arable land through Hong Kong due to its rough terrain and that cities have taken over much of the lowlands) thanks to the displacement, expect Hong Kong to destabilise to the point that a civil war could eventually emerge as part of a survival of the fittest scheme. The economy has drastically shifted from being largely business-based and degraded to being a somewhat primitive, "survive what you can" attitude which has been doing well so far, but this is not enough to bring it back. The economy is now largely reliant on fishing and surviving on whatever is left, with old buildings slowly being abandoned (largely business-based buildings and banks were abandoned, unless people break in and use these as a way to reduce population density with commercial buildings seen as "free real estate" and make makeshift settlements here) and makeshift camps and settlements were being established across Hong Kong, which has led to many fleeing to even starving to death.
 * Events: No, I'm not going to destroy Hong Kong immediately, I'm just trying to do this as "realistically" as possible, since Hong Kong has gone through turmoil.
 * Two Camps, One Region and Total Isolation: Two months into the Event and violence has started to calm down by early 2020/1445. As more people fled in tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands (especially some of these Mainlanders) to former mainland China or to the east from violence, they believe that if violence keeps going up and up, they could see the place being fully abandoned afterwards. The emergency government proposed that two territories would carved in the meantime, to defuse any form of tension on 23rd March 2020/1445. They still have administrative and de jure control over the New Territories and the rest of Hong Kong, it's just that they are unable to administer them anymore but the city of Hong Kong itself which is defined by the map above. This had led to the formation of two large factions: the pro-China camp to the west and north, though was mockingly called as the People's Republic of Hong Kong by former protesters and pro-democrats and the Republic of Hong Kong, which took the southern part of Hong Kong. For the rest of the year, this seemed pretty reasonable for both sides, but whether it would make any changes in the long-term remains to be seen.
 * Pro-China Camp (or what's left of it): The emergency government of Hong Kong has been largely comprised of pro-Beijing members within the LegCo ever since a line was divided up, so they have been largely supportive of them. They are largely controlled by the Hong Kong police and the remains of the PLA and are far more orderly and organised than their other counterpart. Since mid-2020/1445, Cai Yongzhang, the commander of the PLA Hong Kong Garrison has started to seize power over the controlled areas that they have and believes that if he had the support of primitive people outside of Hong Kong, he would eventually be able to restore Hong Kong under the rule of the remains of a communist China. His seizure of power has made Republic of Hong Kong concerned as they do not agree for him to become the Chief Executive of Hong Kong de jure as he was a Mainlander deployed from the former People's Republic of China. (neither would the pro-China camp for the Republic's 'president' but since Lam resigned, he would be the only choice for their own side)
 * Republic of Hong Kong: This faction is a model of what would've been an independent and democratic Hong Kong, but unfortunately they are leaderless since they are divided on who should be the first president of their own faction and future Chief Executive of Hong Kong. They are also in fact unorganised since they are largely been led by random teenagers and young adults who are just new into governing and doing survival skills (outside of self-defence and certain parts they've obtained from the 2019 protests), along with former pro-democratic figures and some parents who basically babysit them to act mature in order to maintain discipline within a potentially destabilising faction. When they saw the Taiwanese patrol boats, many believe that they have been saved from the events that came a year ago. The Hong Kong paramilitary largely live here and ensure security due to their dissatisfaction of the police and the military of former China.
 * The Ming Dynasty: The PCC (pro-China camp) has come to the rationale secretly within their chain of command that the primitive people outside of Hong Kong were 'racially inferior' to those who were transported there like Hongkongers themselves. Since they have no idea on the grasps of what communism, socialism or even a democracy is, even though they speak the same language with few disprencies, they believe that they can only do menial work and fight for whatever they are in, making it possible to fully collectivise them without any resistance. (Note that they are still not aware that Hongkongers going to the imperial courts yet) This came after few of the Hongkongers who scouted there to find villages and farmland who returned to Hong Kong, along with frequent water fetchers came. It became the key part of the PCC's attitude towards people outside of Hong Kong and that they believe that they could simply incite a rebellion by convicing them with simple actions while also subjugating land. Meanwhile, the Imperial Army stationed near Hong Kong has made every single civilian terrified of what's happening next with the PCC fearing that they could swarm into the region easily, but the PCC is thinking of a meticulous plan to divert them away, while also even developing plans to expand their control beyond Hong Kong by creating tributaries. They haven't gotten into contact with other PLA bases or any PRC bases/territories so far from their radio searching, asides nearby Taiwanese patrol craft, which they refuse to talk into yet. The Republic of Hong Kong however, saw them as a threat too like the PCC, but dismissed them as any future threat, so long that they remain put.
 * Makeshift Settlements: A year into the event and by the end of 2020/1445, the city of Hong Kong is largely depopulated from people fleeing to less populated areas, not entirely abandoned - it still has 40-55% of its original population. Electricity is partially restored in the city after two months of chaos prior, but they have to largely restrict it to essentials such as lighting up the government, despite being powerless along with key facilities. These will eventually run out despite these extreme protocols and soon, they might need to find essential resources to keep powering. Key government buildings remain inhabited/visited. The city of Hong Kong becomes a place for neutrality between two camps/factions. Meanwhile, the Republic of Hong Kong had established makeshift camps/tents to form small communities in the countryside. Quickly crafted hoes are also being made to farm the remaining arable land and hopefully start off producing yields of food. Food is already being rationed since then, especially with extremely well-preserved canned food like spam and Hong Kong, being a place where during the Second World War, spam somehow got into being one of the meat substitutes used. Fishing is already commonplace already, but they have to find ways to reliably obtain food, as overfishing could lead to fish disappearing eventually. Abandoned, useless buildings are sometimes torn down in favour of building farms, while gardens/backyards are wholly converted into fields for crops. But it only covers a small area and soon, the Republic of Hong Kong would succumb to forcing 40-50% dying of hunger before its population would stabilise. Meanwhile, the PCC prohibited the creation of "unofficial settlements" without the approval of the PLA, meaning that they would have to live in crammed homes in Yuen Long for example or else they would have to be expelled from their territory should they resist. Their goal is to maintain these buildings for the next generation and prohibited any future building permits to local construction workers until raw resources could be accessed. Unlike the creative ways of the Republic, the PCC is essentially doing an extreme rationing system for those under control and farming outside of private property is discouraged. Civilians are given limited food that is from the city, but the military and the police (not all of them though) are the most important. They need to be fed to keep them active and going, which led to a creation of a food class system. They also have control over water from the northern river too, while the Republic is slowly diminishing in fresh water supply, forcing them to start rationing people to drink only a cup and a half daily unless it is for medical reasons.
 * Taiwanese Ships: Ships were sighted near Hong Kong, which initially people in Hong Kong think they were primitive ships sent from the Ming dynasty. Eventually, they realise that they were Taiwanese patrol boats who claimed to have seen Hongkongers fleeing from Hong Kong from violence (which the Hongkongers know that). They probably think that they're treated well, despite that might be the contrary. Regardless, many of those within the Republic of Hong Kong had decided to hold up celebrations - which is way too early to determine if Taiwan was a threat or a saviour to a divided Hong Kong.
