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.
