The sim was hosted by Card0 from January until April, in its first 2 months of operation, the server was quite popular with talks of there even being a city building server hosted by Friedchilli. Throughout this time, Lieutenant Quattro served as the President of Tsz Kong, of the Zeonist Party. However as March came around, inactivity soared and members became apathetic to the server.
The sim was hosted by [[Card0]] from January until April, in its first 2 months of operation, the server was quite popular with talks of there even being a city building server hosted by [[Friedchilli]]. Throughout this time, [[Lieutenant Quattro]] served as the President of Tsz Kong, of the Zeonist Party. However as March came around, inactivity soared and members became apathetic to the server. Eventually, Card0 would transfer full ownership to [[flutters]] on April 15th 2022, hoping they could handle it while Card0 focused on other things. Unfortunately, inactivity remained high and the sim was suspended on April 25th 2022, though it has remained open to this day.

On July 4th, the server would be revived as Card0 returned to managing the server. However, flutters would remain the owner. 6 days later, the first Tsz Kong Elections following the revival of the sim were held, [[RandomAutobiographyRoamer]] was elected as his party: the Nationalists won the election. However, he would be ousted via a vote of no confidence on July 13th due to the actions of some of his MPs. Elections were rescheduled for July 16th. He would later be accused of vote rigging and later was banned from both Tsz Kong and 852R as a whole. What followed was a period of activity but also drama as president [[Kevinovich]] through both of his nonconsecutive terms, tried to gain more and more control in the sim, leading Card0 to eventually try and prevent him in his second term. However, this left the sim growing more inactive.


On July 4th, the server would be revived as Card0 returned to managing the server. However, flutters would remain the owner.
On January 17th 2023, Card0 made an emergency announcement in 852R urging members to join TK, calling it the "black sheep of hkgag". This led to a short period of increased activity before activity once again dropped. Following this, in March, Card0 also held a referendum on server reform, eventually leading to the server to be more "lore-focused" and having elections held every 3 months.


On July 10th, the first Tsz Kong Elections following the revival of the sim were held, Fahran was elected as his party: the Nationalists won the election. However, he would be ousted via a vote of no confidence on July 13th due to the actions of some of his MPs. Elections were rescheduled for July 16th. Farhan would later be accused of vote rigging and later was banned from both Tsz Kong and 852R as a whole.
After a long back and forth argument between April 1st and 2nd, [[Zy]] would be disposed as President on April 2nd 2023 due to his passive aggressiveness. RandomAutobiographyRoamer, who was unbanned from participating in politics, was re-elected Under his's leadership, many changes would made to the sim to boost activity such as new bots, reviving the judiciary and connecting to different political sims. However, despite the changes his 2-term administration made, his party would lose the next election, partially due to the fact that they took a long time in finding a suitable candidate.

On January 4th 2024, due to low activity, the server was archived and the sim shut down.

During the Han Dynasty, a small military outpost was constructed at Shek Kwu Shan, though after the Jin Dynasty it had been abandoned. It was later turned into a small village during the Ming Dynasty for a short amount of time.

In 1648, the Dutch East Indies company, seeing great success in their colonies, purchased Tsz Kong from the Southern Ming regime and for more firearms against the Qing Empire. They established the fort of De Koong on what is now Sham Uk and a trade post alongside it.
 
De Koong was soon taken over by Zheng Chengong (or Koxinga) as a forward base for anti-Qing activities. At the same time, at the second Anglo-Dutch war in 1665, nominal sovereignty over the Island was transferred to the British.
 
The Island was never taken by the British for almost 200 years and eventually fell under the Qing empire and remaining a rural community. The fort and parts of the trading post still exist today in the form of (...)
===French Colonial Era (1858-1918)===
Following the end of the Second Opium War, China ceded the territories of modern-day Southern peninsular Tsz Kong(south of avenue de la Boundarie passing from Davistown to Oi Yip)  to France at the Convention of Peking. The first governor, Antoine Cordier, declared the administrative centre of the territory to be in the general vicinity of Centrale in the modern-day.


Wanting to expand their colonial holdings in China, France was able to purchase the rest of mainland Tsz Kong from China in 1898 for $3 million thanks to a greater participation in the coalition.

Wanting to expand their colonial holdings in China, France was able to purchase the rest of mainland Tsz Kong from China in 1898 for $3 million thanks to a greater participation in the coalition. France expanded the agricultural and trading economy of the colony and used it as a training ground for the local armed forces, aiming to compete with British colony in the area. Under their administration, Tsam Au Airport (then known as Tsz Kong Field), Racecourse Grandé-Jardin and many other iconic facilities were established, in the hopes of creating a modern French city in Asia, though many of the majority Chinese neighbourhoods in the city remained impoverished.


France expanded the agricultural and trading economy of the colony and used it as a training ground for the local armed forces, aiming to compete with British colonies in the area.
In the treaty of Peking, the British gained sovereignty over Tsz Kong Island alongside the Kowloon Peninsula, in accordance to their claims in the Anglo-Dutch wars. They initially constructed their settlement on what they originally called New Plymouth, atop and around Dutch fortifications which had been used as government headquarters for quite an amount of time, on the site of today's Nam Kong, with most of the west coming under British control. Like the French, the British held some hostility towards their counterpart, though they maintained good relations and drew closer as WW1 approached. The British would also sponsor the construction of the Belsunce-Canton railway, negotiating with the French to operate the railway in exchange for a cut of the profits, with the railway today being a part of the intercity railway that goes into central Tsz Kong.
===Interwar Period (1918-1941)===
Following the end of WW1, Anglo-French colonial agreements shifted. This included the merger of British and French Tsz Kong into one single British Tsz Kong colony under the treaty of Sèveres (becoming its only actual effect). Yet, both French and British officials would continue to serve in their former positions, with the government of the colony being led by two co-governors, selected by the foreign offices of both countries.


Tsam Au Airport (then known as Tsz Kong Field), Racecourse Grandé-Jardin and many other iconic facilities were established during that period.
Tsz Kong would become a beacon of stability during the warlord period, much like Hong Kong itself, though both the KMT and CCP would try to gain influence in the city. Some French communists would actually travel to Tsz Kong to meet with Chinese communists, though their presence and contributions to the CCP were very minimal. The Canton-Hong Kong strike would affect Tsz Kong slightly, with some Chinese workers holding solidarity strikes, but they were also crushed very easily and quickly. The city would also expand significantly, though most of the colony remained vastly undeveloped, with market towns remaining the most significant settlements.

===Pre War-British Colonial Era (1918-1941)===
Following the end of the First World War, Anglo-French colonial agreements shifted. This included the merger of British and French Tsz Kong into one single British Tsz Kong colony under the treaty of Sèveres (becoming its only actual effect).
===Japanese Occupation (1941-1945) ===
===Japanese Occupation (1941-1945) ===
On December 8th 1941, Tsz Kong was invaded by Japanese forces. Allied forces, consisting of British, French, American, Canadian, Australian and Indian troops defended the city fiercely but it would fall on February 12th 1942, just 3 days before Singapore would fall as well. Having surrendered to the Japanese, all the remaining forces were either imprisoned or executed.

During this time, Tsz Kong suffered greatly, with food being fiercely rationed and the general quality of life dropping. It is estimated that over 530,000 people either died or escaped. A few of those people who escaped would later return as part of the East River (Dongjiang) Column, fighting in the countryside areas of Tsz Kong.

The Dongjiang Column would also assist in helping Chinese elites, based in Tsz Kong to escape to nationalist-communist controlled territory.  


The territory was handed over back to joint British-French control on August 30th 1945, the same day Hong Kong would be liberated as well. That day, known as Liberation Day, is still celebrated in Ts zKong to this day.

=== Post-War Colonial Era (1945-1971)===
In the aftermath of WW2, it was unknown who would control Tsz Kong in the long term. While the Republic of China, under Chiang Kaishek, wanted to gain back all European concessions, including Tsz Kong, the UK and France protested this, arguing that they had been the first to liberate the territory. The US had initially argued in favour of restoring Chinese rule over Tsz Kong, however with the resumption of the Chinese Civil War in 1946, it withdrew its calls for returning Tsz Kong. During this time, pro-autonomy sentiments grew among Tsz Kongers, especially those who had been educated overseas pre-war. While the UK and France would end many of its discriminatory laws, these sentiments would persist.  
In the aftermath of WW2, it was unknown who would control Tsz Kong in the long term. While the Republic of China, under Chiang Kaishek, wanted to gain back all European concessions, including Tsz Kong, the UK and France protested this, arguing that they had been the first to liberate the territory and therefore, had the best claim to Tsz Kong. The US had initially argued in favour of restoring Chinese rule over Tsz Kong, however with the resumption of the Chinese Civil War in 1946, it withdrew its calls for returning Tsz Kong due to the instability. During this time, pro-autonomy sentiments grew among Tsz Kongers, especially those who had been educated overseas pre-war. While the UK and France would end many of its discriminatory laws, these sentiments would persist until the end of the colonial period.


Tsz Kong would boom as an industrial hub in the 1950s, with the population growing as a result of refugees escaping to the city after the civil war. Most of the refugees were either Cantonese (specifically Chiuchow) and Fujianese, though there were some Shanghainese and Zhejiangnese who came during this time. Many of these, being intellectuals, would find Tsz Kong to be a preferable home to the mainland, and dreamt of making a free republic. This led the pro-autonomy movement to grow into a full-fledged independence movement by the 1960s, with protests being held regularly demanding it. Initially though, the UK and France were concerned that this would anger China, while also inspiring their remaining colonies to fight for independence. As a result, they tried to suppress this but ultimately failed with American condemnation. They then satisfy the moderates, by allowing for the Legislative Council to be democratically elected in 1965, though this only emboldened the movement. Many of the existing political parties, who acted more as political organizations rather than parties before 1965, would run candidates for the election.

Secretly, the US made a deal with the UK and France in 1966, they could let Tsz Kong go but still have a great deal of influence over it. The UK would accept this, though France was more reluctant and would only accept this 3 years later in 1969. Around the same time, Hong Kong also was inspired by Tsz Kong's independence movement as an independence movement also starting growing there. There were 4 parties: the Democratic Party: the moderate faction of the pro-independence movement, the Ji Yau Dong: the radical faction of the pro-independence movement, the Workers Party: a socialist party secretly backed by the CCP, and the Labor Party: an independent left-wing party.

Unlike our timeline, Henry Kissinger would make his trip to China a year earlier in 1970, this would lay the groundwork to better US relations with China. Kissinger persuaded China to give up claims on Hong Kong and Tsz Kong, but that it could get Macau back eventually. Surprisingly, the Chinese authorities agreed to this, and later made a public statement claiming that they would not invade an independent Hong Kong and Tsz Kong should that happen. The same year in May, a referendum was held: to go independent, to stay a colony, or to rejoin China. 63.8% of voters voted for independence as a republic. As a part of the deal, British and French forces would remain in Tsz Kong, but they would withdraw most of their forces to avoid antagonising China. A constitutional convention was called later that year, involving all the major political figures in the city, to draft a constitution for the emerging country.

On May 12th 1971, Tsz Kong gained independence as a republic, with the first President: Clark Man Tsz Cheung, being a part of the Democratic Party, who had formed an alliance with the Ji Yau Dong against the opposition, which now also consisted of the Tong Heung Kuk, who had succesfully run candidates for the first time, despite not being a traditional political party.

Tsz kong experienced a economic boom in the late 1970s and 1980s, becoming one of the Five Asian Tigers while also seeing a cultural boom with films and music reaching their zenith during this period. The 1997 Asian economic crisis would bring an end to this.
With the fall of the communist regime in China in 1989 (which marks the main POD of this timeline aside from Tsz Kong's existence), relations would improve with both Tsz Kong and China, as well as the newly independent Hong Kong which gained its independence in 1995.

Upon inspection, Tsz Kong appears similar to the Special Administrative Regions of the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong and Macau. However, Tsz Kong is an independent city-state, more akin to Singapore.

The city was reorganised into several districts after independence, replacing the old informal neighbourhoods that had existed since the colonial period, while also formally dividing the different regions which had been used for elections.

== Transport ==
Tsz Kong today has a developed public transportation network, consisting primarily of an intricate network of buses, and the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), which has been referred to as the city's backbone.
Four main franchised bus companies operate in Tsz Kong: MetroBus, VitBu and  TransCity, though several other companies operate shuttle bus services.
The MRT, opening in 1981, operates 9 lines across the city, as well as a light rail system in the northwest and northeast, which are connected to MRT stations. Other independent railways like the Saisan Island Railway, also exist.
Tsz Kong has one main airport: Tsz Kong Hung Long International Airport, also known simply as Tsz Kong International Airport, located in Lam Wan District. The airport is a major hub in Southern China, having several flights in and out of Asia. The airport is a hub to four airlines: Tsz Kong Airlines, Han Airlines, TKExpress and BuzzAir, all four of which are based in the city. The airport has 3 runways, and four terminals, and was opened in 1986 to replace the old airport located in Tsam Au Airport.

Latest revision as of 20:43, 2 November 2024

The Tsz Kong (Chinese: 紫港) Political Sim is an alternate-history political simulation. It is an auxiliary server of 852 Resurgence, and the spiritual successor of the East Macau Political Sim. The server went live on January 1, 2022, shortly after midnight, and was run until January 4th 2024.

Simulation History

The sim was hosted by Card0 from January until April, in its first 2 months of operation, the server was quite popular with talks of there even being a city building server hosted by Friedchilli. Throughout this time, Lieutenant Quattro served as the President of Tsz Kong, of the Zeonist Party. However as March came around, inactivity soared and members became apathetic to the server. Eventually, Card0 would transfer full ownership to flutters on April 15th 2022, hoping they could handle it while Card0 focused on other things. Unfortunately, inactivity remained high and the sim was suspended on April 25th 2022, though it has remained open to this day.

On July 4th, the server would be revived as Card0 returned to managing the server. However, flutters would remain the owner. 6 days later, the first Tsz Kong Elections following the revival of the sim were held, RandomAutobiographyRoamer was elected as his party: the Nationalists won the election. However, he would be ousted via a vote of no confidence on July 13th due to the actions of some of his MPs. Elections were rescheduled for July 16th. He would later be accused of vote rigging and later was banned from both Tsz Kong and 852R as a whole. What followed was a period of activity but also drama as president Kevinovich through both of his nonconsecutive terms, tried to gain more and more control in the sim, leading Card0 to eventually try and prevent him in his second term. However, this left the sim growing more inactive.

On January 17th 2023, Card0 made an emergency announcement in 852R urging members to join TK, calling it the "black sheep of hkgag". This led to a short period of increased activity before activity once again dropped. Following this, in March, Card0 also held a referendum on server reform, eventually leading to the server to be more "lore-focused" and having elections held every 3 months.

After a long back and forth argument between April 1st and 2nd, Zy would be disposed as President on April 2nd 2023 due to his passive aggressiveness. RandomAutobiographyRoamer, who was unbanned from participating in politics, was re-elected Under his's leadership, many changes would made to the sim to boost activity such as new bots, reviving the judiciary and connecting to different political sims. However, despite the changes his 2-term administration made, his party would lose the next election, partially due to the fact that they took a long time in finding a suitable candidate.

On January 4th 2024, due to low activity, the server was archived and the sim shut down.

Roles

God

God is a role held by admins to change lore, approve and give situations to Tsz Kong. At this moment, Card0 and flutters have this role.

Jesus

Jesus is a role, as a child of god, is the 2nd rank of administration, once held by flutters.

Lore (Unfinished)

Prehistoric Era

Imperial Era (221 BC-1828 AD)

During the Han Dynasty, a small military outpost was constructed at Shek Kwu Shan, though after the Jin Dynasty it had been abandoned. It was later turned into a small village during the Ming Dynasty for a short amount of time.

In the early Tang Dynasty, Lok Sha became a succesful port town due to its harbour, however it had lost much of its wealth by the Song Dynasty, later becoming a haven for nearby pirates. The town became abandoned in the mid Yuan dynasty, but was later repopulated by immigrants in the early Ming.

In 1648, the Dutch East Indies company, seeing great success in their colonies, purchased Tsz Kong from the Southern Ming regime and for more firearms against the Qing Empire. They established the fort of De Koong on what is now Sham Uk and a trade post alongside it. De Koong was soon taken over by Zheng Chengong (or Koxinga) as a forward base for anti-Qing activities. At the same time, at the second Anglo-Dutch war in 1665, the fort would be invaded by the British, but would later be given back to the Dutch as part of thepeace deal.

Early Colonial Period (1858-1918)

Following the end of the Second Opium War, China ceded the territories of modern-day Southern peninsular Tsz Kong(south of avenue de la Boundarie passing from Davistown to Oi Yip) to France at the Convention of Peking. The first governor, Antoine Cordier, declared the administrative centre of the territory to be in the general vicinity of Centrale in the modern-day. Wanting to expand their colonial holdings in China, France was able to purchase the rest of mainland Tsz Kong from China in 1898 for $3 million thanks to a greater participation in the coalition. France expanded the agricultural and trading economy of the colony and used it as a training ground for the local armed forces, aiming to compete with British colony in the area. Under their administration, Tsam Au Airport (then known as Tsz Kong Field), Racecourse Grandé-Jardin and many other iconic facilities were established, in the hopes of creating a modern French city in Asia, though many of the majority Chinese neighbourhoods in the city remained impoverished.

In the treaty of Peking, the British gained sovereignty over Tsz Kong Island alongside the Kowloon Peninsula, in accordance to their claims in the Anglo-Dutch wars. They initially constructed their settlement on what they originally called New Plymouth, atop and around Dutch fortifications which had been used as government headquarters for quite an amount of time, on the site of today's Nam Kong, with most of the west coming under British control. Like the French, the British held some hostility towards their counterpart, though they maintained good relations and drew closer as WW1 approached. The British would also sponsor the construction of the Belsunce-Canton railway, negotiating with the French to operate the railway in exchange for a cut of the profits, with the railway today being a part of the intercity railway that goes into central Tsz Kong.

Interwar Period (1918-1941)

Following the end of WW1, Anglo-French colonial agreements shifted. This included the merger of British and French Tsz Kong into one single British Tsz Kong colony under the treaty of Sèveres (becoming its only actual effect). Yet, both French and British officials would continue to serve in their former positions, with the government of the colony being led by two co-governors, selected by the foreign offices of both countries.

Tsz Kong would become a beacon of stability during the warlord period, much like Hong Kong itself, though both the KMT and CCP would try to gain influence in the city. Some French communists would actually travel to Tsz Kong to meet with Chinese communists, though their presence and contributions to the CCP were very minimal. The Canton-Hong Kong strike would affect Tsz Kong slightly, with some Chinese workers holding solidarity strikes, but they were also crushed very easily and quickly. The city would also expand significantly, though most of the colony remained vastly undeveloped, with market towns remaining the most significant settlements.

Japanese Occupation (1941-1945)

On December 8th 1941, Tsz Kong was invaded by Japanese forces. Allied forces, consisting of British, French, American, Canadian, Australian and Indian troops defended the city fiercely but it would fall on February 12th 1942, just 3 days before Singapore would fall as well. Having surrendered to the Japanese, all the remaining forces were either imprisoned or executed.

During this time, Tsz Kong suffered greatly, with food being fiercely rationed and the general quality of life dropping. It is estimated that over 530,000 people either died or escaped. A few of those people who escaped would later return as part of the East River (Dongjiang) Column, fighting in the countryside areas of Tsz Kong, much like Hong Kong. The Dongjiang Column would also assist in helping Chinese elites, based in Tsz Kong to escape to nationalist-communist controlled territory.

The territory was handed over back to joint British-French control on August 30th 1945, the same day Hong Kong would be liberated as well. That day, known as Liberation Day, is still celebrated in Tsz Kong to this day and is a public holiday.

Post-War Colonial Era (1945-1971)

In the aftermath of WW2, it was unknown who would control Tsz Kong in the long term. While the Republic of China, under Chiang Kaishek, wanted to gain back all European concessions, including Tsz Kong, the UK and France protested this, arguing that they had been the first to liberate the territory and therefore, had the best claim to Tsz Kong. The US had initially argued in favour of restoring Chinese rule over Tsz Kong, however with the resumption of the Chinese Civil War in 1946, it withdrew its calls for returning Tsz Kong due to the instability. During this time, pro-autonomy sentiments grew among Tsz Kongers, especially those who had been educated overseas pre-war. While the UK and France would end many of its discriminatory laws, these sentiments would persist until the end of the colonial period.

Tsz Kong would boom as an industrial hub in the 1950s, with the population growing as a result of refugees escaping to the city after the civil war. Most of the refugees were either Cantonese (specifically Chiuchow) and Fujianese, though there were some Shanghainese and Zhejiangnese who came during this time. Many of these, being intellectuals, would find Tsz Kong to be a preferable home to the mainland, and dreamt of making a free republic. This led the pro-autonomy movement to grow into a full-fledged independence movement by the 1960s, with protests being held regularly demanding it. Initially though, the UK and France were concerned that this would anger China, while also inspiring their remaining colonies to fight for independence. As a result, they tried to suppress this but ultimately failed with American condemnation. They then satisfy the moderates, by allowing for the Legislative Council to be democratically elected in 1965, though this only emboldened the movement. Many of the existing political parties, who acted more as political organizations rather than parties before 1965, would run candidates for the election.

Secretly, the US made a deal with the UK and France in 1966, they could let Tsz Kong go but still have a great deal of influence over it. The UK would accept this, though France was more reluctant and would only accept this 3 years later in 1969. Around the same time, Hong Kong also was inspired by Tsz Kong's independence movement as an independence movement also starting growing there. 4 main parties emerged in Tsz Kong during this time: the Democratic Party: the moderate faction of the pro-independence movement, the Ji Yau Dong: the radical faction of the pro-independence movement, the Workers Party: a socialist party secretly backed by the CCP, and the Labor Party: an independent left-wing party.

Unlike our timeline, Henry Kissinger would make his trip to China a year earlier in 1970, this would lay the groundwork to better US relations with China. Kissinger persuaded China to give up claims on Hong Kong and Tsz Kong, but that it could get Macau back eventually. Surprisingly, the Chinese authorities agreed to this, and later made a public statement claiming that they would not invade an independent Hong Kong and Tsz Kong should that happen. The same year in May, a referendum was held: to go independent, to stay a colony, or to rejoin China. 63.8% of voters voted for independence as a republic. As a part of the deal, British and French forces would remain in Tsz Kong, but they would withdraw most of their forces to avoid antagonising China. A constitutional convention was called later that year, involving all the major political figures in the city, to draft a constitution for the emerging country.

Independence Era (1971-Present Day)

On May 12th 1971, Tsz Kong gained independence as a republic, with the first President: Clark Man Tsz Cheung, being a part of the Democratic Party, who had formed an alliance with the Ji Yau Dong against the opposition, which now also consisted of the Tong Heung Kuk, who had succesfully run candidates for the first time, despite not being a traditional political party.

Tsz kong experienced a economic boom in the late 1970s and 1980s, becoming one of the Five Asian Tigers while also seeing a cultural boom with films and music reaching their zenith during this period. The 1997 Asian economic crisis would bring an end to this.

With the fall of the communist regime in China in 1989 (which marks the main POD of this timeline aside from Tsz Kong's existence), relations would improve with both Tsz Kong and China, as well as the newly independent Hong Kong which gained its independence in 1995.

Geography

Upon inspection, Tsz Kong appears similar to the Special Administrative Regions of China, Hong Kong and Macau, also located in Southern China. However, Tsz Kong is an independent city-state, more akin to Singapore. Most of the city is located on a peninsula, though there are sveral significant outlying islands.

Transport

Tsz Kong today has a developed public transportation network, consisting primarily of an intricate network of buses, and the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), which has been referred to as the city's backbone.

Four main franchised bus companies operate in Tsz Kong: MetroBus, VitBu and TransCity, though several other companies operate shuttle bus services.

The MRT, opening in 1981, operates 9 lines across the city, as well as a light rail system in the northwest and northeast, which are connected to MRT stations. Other independent railways like the Saisan Island Railway, also exist.

Tsz Kong has one main airport: Tsz Kong Hung Long International Airport, also known simply as Tsz Kong International Airport, located in Lam Wan District. The airport is a major hub in Southern China, having several flights in and out of Asia. The airport is a hub to four airlines: Tsz Kong Airlines, Han Airlines, TKExpress and BuzzAir, all four of which are based in the city. The airport has 3 runways, and four terminals, and was opened in 1986 to replace the old airport located in Tsam Au Airport.
