Editing Dystopian Wars (section)

=== Chinese Federation ===

Possessing all the requirements of a true superpower – population, resources and an overall central governing body – circumstances have consistently combined to prevent the Federation from joining the ranks of the great empires. Battered over the course of the centuries by numerous invasion attempts by the Russian Coalition, and with the Ottoman Dominions and the Empire of the Blazing Sun often chewing at its eastern and western extremities, the Federation is also plagued by destructive internal politics – the Mongolian Khanates of the Iron Horde who hold the Federation’s northern border regions with Russia are particularly fractious. The Emperor, although in theory the absolute overlord of the collection of kingdoms that comprise his nation, in fact has to rule with a combination of shrewd diplomacy and political ingenuity, playing off one kingdom against another in order to further his own goals. In addition, the Federation’s strong and well-justified distrust of foreigners and their intentions has prevented it from acquiring overseas aid in its industrialisation process, resulting in comparatively slow progress compared to the rest of the world.

The Chinese have enough models that they could almost be considered another core faction. They have lots of naval models and upcoming releases promise lots of new aerial and ground models as well. Their capital class ships are a little slow. They have lots of low-quality boarding troops. Their boats are quite resilient to taking single points of damage and to critical effects. Almost all of their weaponry either kills crew, starts fires, or corrodes the enemy over time in addition the regular damage they do.
