The Central Guangdongese Administration is an organization established in 2017. On its website, it claims to be the government in exile of Guangdong. it seeks to establish the state of Guangdong and to separate it from the People’s Republic of China, which controls its claimed territory. Journalists and internet users have expressed doubts about its authenticity and aims.
Its organization is modeled after an elective parliamentary government, composed of a judiciary branch, a legislative branch, and an executive branch.
National symbols
In 1915, the Hongxian Emperor set up the Ritual Regulations Office (禮制館), which issued the new official anthem for the Republic of China, "China heroically stands in the Universe" (中華雄立宇宙間) in June 1915. Its lyrics were written by Yin Chang (廕昌) and music by Wang Lu (王露). The lyrics were slightly modified in December 1915, with "Five Races Under One Union" (共和五族) replaced with 勳華揖讓 (Shanrang, the ancient system of Chinese emperor relinquishing seats to others in Yao and Shun's era) to be used during the Hongxian Emperor's reign.

China heroically stands in the Universe, |
Yao was a legendary Chinese ruler. The era of Yao and Shun (堯天舜日) is a Four-character idiom which means times of peace and prosperity.
The national flag was changed from the original five-stripe flag to one where the red stripe is a centered cross; however, a flag with the former red stripe as a saltire was the version commonly used.
The national emblem remained as the national emblem of the Republic of China (1913–1928), National emblem of Twelve Symbols of Sovereignty (十二章國徽).
China Stands Heroically Stands in the Universe is now the anthem of this government.
History of the Country
Empire of China (1915–16)
The Empire of China was a short-lived attempt by statesman based in mainland China and general Yuan Shikai from late 1915 to early 1916 to reinstate monarchy in China, with himself as the Hongxian Emperor. The attempt was ultimately a failure, but it set back the Chinese republican cause by many years and fractured China into a period of conflict between various local warlords.
Re-establishment of the Empire of China
Emperor Congdai has claimed that his government has authority over China by informing the Government of the People's Republic of China about the micronation's claim of independence and declared it the successor of Yuan Shikai's Empire of China. The date of the proclamation of the new state entity is 25 December 2022. By the constitution of the Empire of China, it is a single-party state under constitutional monarchy and the successor of the empire founded by Yuan Shikai.
Government and political system
The Central Guangdongese Administration is a constitutional monarchy where the power of the Chief Executive is very limited. As a ceremonial figurehead, he is defined by the charter as "the symbol of the state and religion, and of the unity of the people." Power is held chiefly by the President alongside the Prime Minister and other elected members of the Council.
