Chinese people founded this new nation in the times of old. Islam came to the nation and became an offical religion, though Buddhism and Taoism still was around. Christianity came to this New China later. In this New China, scholars had to learn the Quran and Hadith. New China still keeps the ways of old. It is headed by an absolute Emperor. All people are given freedom of religion.

In New China, it is said that the subject of study for the examinations for officials (formerly civil service exams) became the Quran and Hadith. Scholars did get to learn other things like music and archery.

New China also keeps Chinese as its offical language. Religion is regulated, Islam is known as one of the big religions. The Quran and Hadith was translated into Chinese. Different dialects may be found in New China. Arabic is also a language spoken in New China, due to the introduction of Islam. Pagoda style mosques may be seen. A New China version of the Forbidden City may also be seen as well. New China has a good heritage under its belt. The current Emperor can speak languages like Arabic or Chinese.

For now, I, a newbie on NS, end my intro to my nation of New China for now.

No, in smaller groups Communism does work in isolated societies where the people have little to no knowledge of any form of change that could affect them. Any smaller groups such as hunter and gatherer groups are strictly communialistic societies. Communist societies can easily exist given everybody adheres to follow it willingly. It's very much like monastic life.

My nation is not China. It is a land that Chinese people found and named New China.
