Flag Anthem of the Republic of China

Republic of China, more commonly known as Taiwan, is the democratic remnant of the former mainland Republic of China. Unlike his predecessor, however, a lot of his people (especially young people) have grown to more like his new Taiwanese identity, often calling themselves “Taiwanese”. Only the old people still remember that this is actually China, the Republic of China. He faces the constant threat of commie, who believes that Taiwan belongs to him and wants to invade Taiwan, so therefore he needs American to protect him.

Almost nobody “officially” recognizes Taiwan as a country due to the One China Policy, but many, especially Western-aligned countries, still have unofficial relations with him. Taiwan has his own passport, military, and basically everything a sovereign country would have except for recognition.

Taiwan has many high technologies and is an advanced country. He produces at least 90 percent of the world's most advanced computer chips. Plus, he is the true savior of traditional Chinese culture, having preserved them instead of destroying them or rewriting them to fit their agenda.

Taiwan is currently split between the blues and the greens. The blues want to reclaim the mainland, while the greens want to embrace their new Taiwanese identity.

歷史 (History)

After WWII, Chiang’s weakened forces retreated to Taiwan after being defeated by the commies. Taiwan became the only piece of land that the former Republic of China still holds, and he wants back on the mainland. Martial law, declared on Taiwan in May 1949, continued to be in effect until 1987, and was used to suppress political opposition in Chiang's White Terror.

Following the eruption of the Korean War, US President Harry S. Truman dispatched the United States Seventh Fleet into the Taiwan Strait to prevent hostilities between the ROC and the PRC. United States also passed the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty and the Formosa Resolution of 1955, granting substantial foreign aid to the KMT regime between 1951 and 1965. The US foreign aid stabilized prices in Taiwan by 1952. The KMT government instituted many laws and land reforms that it had never effectively enacted on mainland China.

The ROC participated multiple wars on the US’ side, like the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and other conflicts in Southeast Asia.
