During the [[China|Chinese]] invasion in the<br /> [[Pacific War]], an independent Shan Republic was created<br /> with Chinese support. The new nation receives diplomatic<br /> recognition only from China and its allies. With TSA support,<br /> the central Burmese government is currently fighting<br /> an open war along the Shan border in order to bring the<br /> breakaway state back in line. The capital of Tuanggyi has<br /> recently been devastated by sorties of long-range cybershell<br /> drones from Burma.<br /> <br /> Early in the century, Shan state was infamous as one<br /> of the world’s most productive sources of opium poppy.<br /> The opium trade was largely suppressed by 2030, but by<br /> the mid-2060s it has reappeared. Indeed, as genetic technologies<br /> were applied to the opium poppy, it became the<br /> source of a wide variety of new and very powerful narcotics.<br /> Production of these drugs has risen sharply since<br /> the Pacific War, with much of the finished product ending<br /> up in [[India]] and the [[:Category:Transpacific Socialist Alliance|TSA]] nations. Although the Chinese<br /> government denies any involvement, there are rumors that<br /> the new drugs are part of a campaign of subversion directed<br /> at the nanosocialist bloc and its allies.</div>
