Greater Zhōngguó is a political entity which was formed between 102 and 98 BFC from the unification of the GPR countries (China, North Korea, Russia, Siberia, Mongolia, and Myanmar) with their close trading partners South Africa, Ethiopia, Sudan, Djibouti, Eritrea, Somalia, U.A.E, Oman, South Yemen, and Greater Uzbekistan; as well as an informal agreement with the other non-Peacekeeper space power blocs on spheres of influence. Initially a mostly economic union, many technologies and social practices spread from China to the other members such as state run nurseries for artificial womb children which have received genetic modification for traits such as happiness and loyalty. Over time it has become more politically unified under the Chinese Tianxia system, and more militarily focussed as the Peacekeepers have grown and in response to external pressures such as Bharat's open support of a succession movement in Myanmar. Despite having significantly less industrial capacity than the Peacekeepers it fields a nearly equivalently size navy.
