Economy of Nanzhao
Nanzhao is a Newly Industrialized Country (NIC) and is distinguished as an Secondary Emerging Market by the FTSE group with Nanzhao being one of two Emerging Markets after Buesti and Ravoi in the SCJU. Compared to other SCJU nations, Nanzhao has one of the largest economys but is the poorest overall with about 81.2 million people in poverty.
The Economy of the Peoples Republic of Nanzhao is a rapidly growing Socialist Market Economy And has an annual GDP growth rate of around 9.1% for the past 20 years the economy is very fast growing nearly as fast as PRC. Nanzhao's success has been primarily due to manufacturing as a low-cost producer.This is attributed to a combination of cheap labor, good infrastructure, medium level of technology and skill and high productivity.
Nanzhao's rapid growth has pulled millions of its people out of poverty since 1980,Today, about 29% of the Nanzhao population (81 Million) lives on less than $2 a day. 99.1% of the population is relatively literate. Nanzhao's middle class population (defined as those with annual income of at least US$5,000) has now reached 50-80 million people and is growing. Nanzhao's retail market is estimated to be worth US$495 billion in 2009, it is also one of the worlds largest consumers of luxury goods.
Due to all this industrilisation Nanzhao is an incredibly polluted country.Consequently, the government has promised to use more renewable energy with a target of 10% of total energy use by 2010 and 30% by 2050.
Politics
The PRN is one of the last Six Communist states. The Government has been described as Communist and Socialist but also Authoritarian with many basic rights that are available in the west not in Nanzhao with heavy restrictions on the Internet, the media, Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of religion.
However compared to the closed door policies until the 1970's Nanzhao has become very open but is still very far from the democracy that is seen in Europe and much of North America. The National Nanzhao Peoples Congress has been described as a 'rubber stamp' body. The President is Chen Wenling and the Premier is Chen Ronji.
The Country is run by the Nanzhao Communist Party which is guaranteed power by the constitution. Unlike other Communist states The PRN does have an election every five years where the populance can vote on the president but the President is a pre-approved and pre-selected member of the NCP but holding the elections gives more power to the people while still being in power which has kept the NCP popular.

Human Rights
While economic and social controls have been greatly relaxed in Nanzhao since the 1970s, political freedom is still tightly controlled by both central and local governments. The Constitution of the Peoples Republic of Nanzhao states that the "fundamental rights" of citizens include freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to a fair trial, freedom of religion, universal suffrage, and property rights. However, these provisions do not afford significant protection in practice against criminal prosecution by the State.
Censorship of political speech and information is openly and routinely used to silence criticism of government and the ruling Nanzhao Communist Party. In particular, press control is notoriously tight: Reporters Without Borders considers the PRN one of the least free countries in the world for the press where all media is state owned and controlled.
A number of foreign governments and NGOs routinely criticize the PRN, alleging widespread civil rights violations including systematic use of lengthy detention without trial, forced confessions, torture, mistreatment of prisoners, restrictions of freedom of speech, assembly, association, religion, the press, and labor rights. Nanzhao was the second largest executer of capital punishment, accounting for roughly 16% of total executions in 2004 after PRC with 70% but since Nanzhao became a Full member of the SCJU Toright has banned Capital punishment but reports say that Nanzhao still carries it out illegally.
The PRN government has responded by arguing that the notion of human rights should take into account a country's present level of economic development, and focus more on the people's rights to subsistence and development in poorer countries. The rise in the standard of living, literacy, and life expectancy for the average Nanzese citizen in the last three decades is seen by the government as tangible progress made in human rights. Efforts in the past decade to combat deadly natural disasters, such as the Earthquakes, and work-related accidents are also portrayed in Nanzhao as progress in human rights for a still largely poor country.
International relations
Nanzhao has established diplomatic relations with over 180 countries as of 2008. Nanzhao holds Membership with over 50 international orginisations such as The SCJU, United Nations, ASEAN,WTO,East Asia Summit,BASIC or G5, WTO, G-20, G-20 Developing nations, IMF, and many more.

Pearl River Delta 珠江三角洲
The Pearl River Delta Region (PRD) (simplified Chinese: 珠江三角洲; traditional Chinese: 珠江三角洲; pinyin: Zhūjiāngsānjiǎozhōu) in southern China and eastern Toright occupies the low-lying areas alongside the Pearl River estuary where the Pearl River flows into the South China Sea.
The Pearl River Delta has become the world's workshop and is a major manufacturing base for products such as electronic products (such as T.Vs and P.Cs), toys, garments and textiles, plastic products, and a range of other goods. and is geared for the export market mainly Europe, Atlantica and Asia.
The Pearl River Delta is notoriously polluted, with sewage and industrial waste treatment facilities failing to keep pace with the growth in population and industry in the area. A large portion of the pollution is brought about by factories run by Hong Kong manufacturers in the area. Much of the area is frequently covered with a brown smog. This has a strong effect on the pollution levels in the delta.
Pollution is perhaps one of the greatest risks to the Chinese White Dolphins that inhabit the area.
On March 22, 2007 the World Bank approved a $96 million loan to the PRC government and $ 45 million to the PRn government to reduce water pollution in the Pearl River Delta.
Metropolitan Area
The Pearl Delta is one of the most densely populated areas of the world. And the Western half in Nanzhao is home to over 26 million people.
