Welcome to the dev diary for the State of Guangdong. My name is Kuzunoha - one of the two co-team leads for the State of Guangdong on the team, alongside OPAsian. We want to give you a glimpse into Guangdong's background, its people, its story, and its gameplay - all the way up to mid-1963. We are largely fully playable up to that point - including characters, story, art, and mechanics - and we're hard at work with the rest of Guangdong's content.
We hope you enjoy this selection of content as much as we did making it. Leave your politics and nationalisms at the door; there's money to be made.
Background Lore
When Japan finally stood victorious at the end of the Second World War, the sole hegemon of Asia, the only question remained: what would peace look like?
Of course, the victor dictated the peace, but Tokyo had many victors to account for. The ambitious politicians, the conniving bureaucrats, the vindicated military, the euphoric public - and the salivating corporations, eyeing the new Co-Prosperity Sphere as a virgin market. They demanded their promised spoils from Japan's 'sacred war' - as did every other competing interest group in those heady days after the final armistice.
In all of the political horse-trading and backroom dealings, the Kanton Protocols of 1950 were signed as a naked exercise of victor's justice. Japan, in an effort to buy off its own corporate interests, willed Guangdong into existence, and China was in no position to refuse.
Literally on a whim, China's most populous province - once the heartland of the Chinese Nationalist Party itself, no less - was carved out as the State of Guangdong, its doors wedged open for Japanese capital and its fortunes secured by Japanese arms. The Three Pearls - KΕshu (Guangzhou), Honkon (Hong Kong), and Makao (Macau) - were to become the vanguard of Japanese capitalism, costs be damned in either yen or in human lives.
A concession, an afterthought, a new experiment in capitalist colonialism - or an accident. These are all accurate descriptions of Guangdong, and the uneasy place it occupies in the New Order in East Asia. From the broken body of China, and the increasing neglect of Japan, Guangdong has become a state without a nation, caught between two worlds and belonging fully to neither.
In 1962,

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
