Territories

The Republic of China is divided into 35 provinces, 12 special municipalities and 2 regions. These administrative divisions are called territories; they produce either resources or income. Provinces and regions generate resources (agricultural products and raw materials), whilst special municipalities generate income (money).

1. Agricultural products provide food for your armies and the population. You need to provide adequate amounts of food to both parties to ensure high morale and fighting capability for your troops and an orderly populace. You can also sell food for money.

2. Raw materials are used for either producing goods or weapons. Both can be sold for money, though the latter you can use to equip your troops with.

3. Money can be used from a wide variety of means from purchasing weapons to repay reparations. You can also improve morale by increasing the salary of your troops.

All municipalities have foreign concessions, which provides lower income than normal rates due to high tariffs. Diplomats can negotiate with foreign powers to lower tariffs or even dismantle concessions. If foreign concessions are unlawfully occupied, foreign powers will respond angrily through economic sanctions or launch armed expeditions to punish the occupier.

In order to successfully occupy a territory, all major towns and settlements in it must be under the control of your armed forces. However, once an army leaves a territory, it will proclaim independence and revert to independent status. Permanent presence in a territory requires a garrison, which can only be created by the CCP, Politicians (through initiating uprisings) and the National Police Agency.
