INTRODUCTION

Gallipoli-China for most of its history was not a unified state. The Empire of China and the Federation of the Two Gallipolis were constantly at odds with each other, and frequently at war. Validus to the south had attempted invasions of both countries, and had in fact won much land off China in the east, though it was never able to hold Gallipoli land for long. Both Gallipoli and China were relative backwaters until the mid-nineteenth century, when the Treaties of Union were drawn up to combat Validus. After that, Gallipoli-China grew in power and prestige. In the late twentieth century, however, radical politics increasingly gained sway in this country, culminating in a short-lived Fascist ministry and the subsequent workers’ state, the administration under which it exists today.

Economy Overview

Gallipoli-China is a strong planned economy. The National Assembly for People’s Power is given the power to set economic plans and goals for the nation by Clauses f and g of Article 71 of the Constitution. The State’s interference is one cause for the large emigration from Gallipoli-China, it is also the main reason why the economy’s managed to recover so quickly after the People’s War. Gallipoli-China runs a large trade deficit, mainly with Uichi Ryu and Xyrael, which supply it with virtually all of its oil. Xyrael supplies Gallipoli-China with all of its iron, the value of which has increased while copper has plummeted. Gallipoli-China hopes to increase the export of silicon and finished computer products in order to correct this imbalance, but has so far been unable to develop silicon mining to satisfactory levels.

Gallipoli-China devotes an inordinate amount of money to tourist attractions, the main object of which is to prove to foreign dignitaries that socialism can work, as there is little actual tourism in this country that still bears the scars of war. It was approved by the Assembly only because it was sold as a wise long-term investment, though that strongly depends on how able Gallipoli-China is at cooling diplomatic tensions and advertising itself.

VALIDEEN PATROL GROUP

This group’s responsibility is the maritime border with Validus. It has the largest area to cover, and therefore is given the greatest number of vessels. Validus is considered friendly, so many of these ships have other duties as well.

TRANSNATIONAL ISSUES

Disputes-international

The new government has abrogated many previously existing treaties, in an attempt to define itself without the prejudices attached to the defunct Union. It sees itself as a morally superior state, and bases its foreign policy on spreading socialism and consolidating it wherever it exists. It has hostile relations with Islas Filipinas, which supplied the Fascist government with troops and money, and now harbors the counter-revolutionaries. It also has suspicions that Bustos-21, as Islas Filipinas’ protector nation, may have sanctioned this. Inglo-Scotia is seen as an enemy. Bustos-21, Myroria, and Ozia are also suspected of aiding anti-Fugazi factions in Uichi Ryu, though that has yet to be proven. It has attempted to build relations with what it considers the “left” of the international spectrum, forging trading relationships with Confederate Freedom, Uichi Ryu and Xyrael. An alliance is projected. Validus, which aided in the People’s War, is considered a strong friend, as is Fenexia. The Democratic States of America is seen as anti-imperialistic, however, it is under fire for repressing secessionists, while at the same time it is praised for supporting Eire. At the moment the government considers Eire the more pressing issue, as that is a case of direct imperialism, therefore, relations are hostile with Inglo-Scotia. Links between Gallipioli-China and the Eiren Republican Army cannot be proved.

For the first few months of its existance, the Democratic Socialist government has done rather well. It has rebuilt many international relationships: the Valideen Reciprocity Treaty is being renegotiated, and the United Axis of Socialist States, comprising Chinese Loyalist State, Confedereate Freedom, Gallipoli-China, Llanydern, Saletsia, and Uichi Ryu is about to be launched. Relations with Bustos-21 continue to be strained due to the emigre situation, while relations with Inglo-Scotia have gone from bad to worse. Gallipoli-China has yet to commit itself to one side or the other of the Second American Civil War, though the presence of the Inglo-Scotians on the Confederate side may be an influence on its decision.

Refugees

Gallipoli-China’s upper class, mainly Achaeans and a few Chinese, fled the country after the Workers’ Social Democracy was proclaimed, and more left when the Constitution was promulgated and the Nationalist Party suppressed. Most found a haven in Bustian Islas Filipinas, or Bustos itself and it is believed that they continue to plot counter-revolution. After the initial explosion in refugees, the torrent slowed to a trickle, and is projected to cease within twenty years. Gallipoli-China also welcomes political refugees from other countries, though this number has not equaled the number of émigrés.

Trafficking in Persons

Gallipoli-China does not permit exploitation of any sort, and does not allow the trafficking of persons out of the country for such purposes, including sexual exploitation. Despite this, many émigrés who are able to maintain contacts in the country have set up agencies dedicated to human traffic. It is estimated that over 12,400 women alone are transported out of the country for purposes of sexual exploitation.

Illicit Drugs

Illicit drugs are not banned in Gallipoli-China, but their manufacture and sale is discouraged. They are a Nonimportable Substance, designated as such under Article 16, Clause d of the Constitution, and there are few chemical plants that are authorized to have the equipment to perfect active ingredients for synthetic drugs. However, in the south, the soil is hospitable to certain types that may be consumed directly or after drying (tobacco, marijuana, etc.), and these are circulated widely. The government takes it upon itself to disseminate information regarding health effects of abuse, and advocacy of moderation.
