OOC: Now, some more explaining to do.
The reason i origionaly incorperated korea into the Chinese Empire, despite the referances to them as Marxists, is becuase althoguh they are still part of the chinese empire, there is quite a bit of regional automany, with freedom of speech and freedom of press.
But recently, there has been a renewed campaign to for independence from Peking (it is still commanly called that by westerners), with newspapers and journalists providing the loudest voices. And in this world, for obvious reasons, anyone who has intentions of "Real" independence in this world is likely to be termed a "Communard", "Marxist" or at least in Australia "A Bloody Commo" (

), because there is a natural suspision that people who want full indepencende are somehow in leuege with the Socialist Bloc (Think OTL "You are either with us, or against us" attitude),
which is true in some cases, but a falsehood in many.
Now, i would like to explain a bit about socity in this world.
In the Free world (Yes, it is realy free), soceity can be summed up as technologycy about the same as OTL, but with the social starndards and customs that resemble the 50's.
For example, school is, well, more old school to say the least. In Commanwealth countries, Class rooms will still have a portrait of the Monarch (in this case George VII) and their consort (In this case Queen Mary of Greece) . Teachers still have the authority and corperal punishment is still in place, but these days only for Serious Offences (IE, smoking, very bad swearing, sexual harrasment ETC), and students know there place. Most, if not all schools in the commanwelath, including OTL US, will generaly have a British style school unifrom.
Technology does exist, but generaly for "Work" reasons, At Home for example, the PC will probably only be used for practical reasons (IE emails, internet shopping, buisness ETC), and most familys will watch TV together, if they have a TV at all. And why would you need to, in this world, doing things as a community-family is more common place, and parents are generaly not firghtend about what there kids do, as the streets are safer and "Drugs", are considered either for street people or "Stainers" (this TL's equivilant of Hippes, but not exactly the same) and Socialists (both frowned upon in the more conservative dominions).
As mentioned above, People are more closely knit and big on "Community". People generaly Respect each other, Racialism (self explanitory), Sexism and Homophobia, althoguh they do exist, are not as prevelant, as most in the commanwelath at least belive that all races are equel, but western civilisation and democracy is the norm.
Terms like "Gay"(in it's modern context) and "Poofter" don't exist, as anyone who is Gay that is generaly just called a Homosexual, although the term "A George" or "A Georgie" is somethimes used (alluding to the suspision that TTL King George V was a Homosexual), but most people tend to keep quiet about there sex life anyway.
Women, although they "Know there Place" (Femenism nether existed, although some "Female Liberationists" exist) are not hugely discriminated against, IE, some women hold or have held senior positions, like Jennifer Evert (TTL equivilant of Margeret Thatcher), and Ailsa Timberlake, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, who was famous for presiding over NZ's 1990's economic boom.
Back to community, as mentioned, technology is less widespread for leasure, so a typycly in Australia, after school, instead of going home and Playing on a console, kids might go over to the nearest Rugby or Criket Club (AFL doesnot exist, VFL does, but is considered a striclty "Victorian" passtime

) , watch a bit of the sport (or in some cases partisipate themselves, sports clubs and sport are important in the commanwealth) or sit down and catch up with firends and family and maybe eat a meat pie and cup of tea (Tea is a universal commanwelath beverege. "Soft Drink" does exist, but Coffee is considered "Foreign" or "Socialist" as coffe is considered the universal drink of the socisalist bloc), Then hop on a Tram and head home.
At home, you can either do your homework, or help with dinner, which is eaten together at the table,where issues and events are disscused, then it's either TV together, or singing around the Paino (most self respecting households will have a paino in the house), Then Shower and Bed.
Then on weekends (3 days in TTL not 2), activities like family picnics and outings are popular. Camping, attending sports matches, fishing, boating (In Brisbane where i come from, most people will have a Tinnie, or a flat bottom tin boat with outborad motor for those who don't know), shopping (Girls still can't get enough of it) and similar activities are all popular. Church on sundays is still an important occasion, and Pubs are the local watering holes and entertaining centres.
Outside the Home, National Service is still the norm, but does not include just the military, there are various other ways to serve your country.
In all, soceity is very Conservative by todays standards, but quite liberal and Domocractic anyway, with Extremes IE Greenies, Facists, Mousalinites or syndicalists (Nazism is non existant), Socislaists and Communists, are all frowend upon by Soceity (Well, in the commanwelath at least).
More opinions and comments welcome, im sorry about the length, but i wanted to convey how poeple in this world think and live as opposed to more political Jargon.
