Commonwealth of Hong Kong also known as Hong Kong Island is a self-proclaimed British Commonwealth. It was founded on the date 22 May 2021. It claims to be a continuation of the former British Colony citing the violations of the Handover Treaty and Hong Kong Island is given to the United Kingdom for perpetuity. It is a devolved government with elements of Direct Democracy. The sovereignty and control are not to be confused with Simulation Nations as the nation controls land they de facto claim but they are similar to the Republic of China (Taiwan) where they claim to be the rightful government on Hong Kong Island.
History
History of Hong Kong
Founding
Hong Kong through the ages until the 1840s would remain relatively populated, and would switch hands numerous times. Originally belonging to Imperial China (Qing), the Region would slowly switch over to the United Kingdom over a 57-year time span.
British Control of Hong Kong
From 1841 to 1898, Hong Kong was not fully a part of the United Kingdom, and was in turn, slowly ceded over the 57-year time span. Hong Kong would become a vital part of the United Kingdom, and the Commonwealth in East Asia, as its population, and trading power both grew substantially. Hong Kong would remain a part of the United Kingdom as a Crown Colony until 1981, and later a Dependent Territory until 1997 when it was ceded to the People's Republic of China. During World War II, when Japan entered the war in 1941, Hong Kong would be occupied by Imperial Japanese Armies and would remain occupied until the end of the War, when it was liberated by British and Republican Chinese troops.
Chinese Control of Hong Kong
When Hong Kong was ceded to the People's Republic of China in 1997, the Region would receive a massive overhaul over its government, noticeably, its Legislative Council. One of the many agreements among many over this concession was the preservation of Hong Kong's economic system and its inhabitant's way of life, which was to be left untouched for 50 years, lasting until 2047. Hong Kong would be left relatively untouched until 2019 when the Hong Kong Legislative Council would propose an Extradition Bill which would allow Fugitives from Hong Kong to be transferred to the Judiciary and Courts of mainland China. This bill would lead to a year-long Demonstration from 2019 to late 2020 against the bill, and the Pro-Democracy camp taking a landslide in the 2019 Hong Kong local elections. Later in 2020, the National People's Congress would authorize the dismissal of LegCo Members who refused to recognize and acknowledge the PRC's rule over the region. In protest, all members of the Pro-Democracy camp in the LegCo would resign. Later in 2021, the PRC would crack down further on personal rights, and electoral freedom with the restructuring of the Legislative Council.
Foundation
The Commonwealth of Hong Kong was officially formed on the date May 22 of the year 2021. However, it claims to be a continuation of the British Governance of Hong Kong but only on Hong Kong Island itself. However, Hong Kong Island is considered to be De Facto whilst lands within the government's control outside of the Hong Kong Island territory are tabled.
Sovereignty Claim
- Hong Kong Island being signed to the United Kingdom for perpetuity due to the 1842 Treaty of Nanking
- Violation of the Sino-British Joint Declaration
- Freedom of Speech and Political suppression in Hong Kong
- United Nations self-determination principle
