East Asian Association (Cruenta Humanitas)

rdfs:comment

The most culturally diverse of the socio-economic blocs, the East Asian Association, really only arose in its current form in 2032 out of fear of resurgent Chinese imperialism as China became the world’s leading superpower in the mid 2030s. However, although divided politically and culturally, economically the structure made sense and is now the third largest economy on Earth (but only if counted as a collective entity), just ahead of the European Union. A general sense of progressivism has further united the sovereign states, as has over a century of shared history.

The most culturally diverse of the socio-economic blocs, the East Asian Association, really only arose in its current form in 2032 out of fear of resurgent Chinese imperialism as China became the world’s leading superpower in the mid 2030s. However, although divided politically and culturally, economically the structure made sense and is now the third largest economy on Earth (but only if counted as a collective entity), just ahead of the European Union. A general sense of progressivism has further united the sovereign states, as has over a century of shared history. The island nations are generally densely populated, with a high degree of automation and provolutionism present in their societies. This has somewhat isolated them from other states, but locally based corporations such as Samsung, Perusahaan Gas Negara and Hyundai/Kia continue to dominate global markets, whilst the Association as a whole leads in the fields of computing and robotics, only slightly tailing the USA and Europe in aerospace technologies – whilst the Oriental Orbital Elevators System contributes massively to the economy (particularly that of Indonesia and Malaysia) they have to share it with China. As with Europe, they tend to look towards space as a source of further expansion rather than squabbling with terrestrial neighbours and building massive armies to show off their power. Culturally and politically many of the member states have been influenced by the strict social hierarchy of Japan and are run as viciously competitive libertarian meritocracies under a direct democracy. Political relations are generally distant as the Association, as aforementioned, is insular, however strong economic bonds are maintained both internally and externally with China, North America and the member states of the Indian Federation.
