Political Stance: Transhumanize!

China

Status: Loser

Political Stance: Long March Into Space

Zhang Te

Zhang Te has maintained its independence, despite both Chinese reconquest attempts and Russian influence, and continues to pioneer transgene technology while serving as neutral ground in the Chinese/Russian cold war.

Outcome: Pretty nice. Political: Still Free
