Sarmatia1871 said:The storyline in Asia has been developed a bit without me telling anyone: AlgOstAsien is the German puppet, controlling most of Southern China. However, the most strategically important Treaty Ports and the abandoned British colony of Hong Kong were granted statutes of autonomy in the 1920s, guaranteed by the major interested powers (eg. Germany, Japan, USA, and Canada), and bound into a loose political federation for mutual protection and assistance. Their 'Government' is controlled by a mixture of local Chinese bosses and displaced Europeans, particularly former colonial administrators. As such, they're independant and a bit vulnerable, but also conduits for smuggling and all sorts of other illicit activities into the rest of China.
Ah... Reminds me of that Tintin story
