Do you understand that the project may change over time in ways you may not foresee once it is handed over to the Lore Team? Yes

Long Description :

This is kind of stupid and has been bugging me for a while. I'm Chinese IRL and this makes me want to bang my head against the wall.

New Hai Phong is literally supposed to be the planet for Vietnam, Hong Kong, and South China. It's then repeated again in Konyang as New Hong Kong.

Changing it to be New Guangdong. In real life, it's the province connected to Hong Kong and has very close economic ties to it.

It's also one of the Special Economic Zones. However, the Kowloon Walled City aesthetic has to be cut drastically. The rest of the story beats can be kept the same.

This makes it fit more with Konyang representing Northern China/East Asia.

 

Alternatively you can also give it a huge New Hai Phonger diaspora, which would also make sense. I still think the name needs to be changed though.
