[] Red-Black Reconciliation
Since Wei Cai adopted the Leninist position and turned on his Anarchist allies to solidify his power, Guangchou's anarchists have been hiding and have been a significant share of domestic unrest. Under Jungmin's regime, however, the purges and witch hunts have stopped, and while an
official recognition of anarchism as an allied ideology is unlikely given the geopolitical considerations of having to appeal to the PRC and USSR, the decriminalization of anarchism and the institution of a Don't Ask Don't Tell policy means that anarchists have been quietly started coming back into the fold.

Anarchism Returns!)
[] Machine Mania
Cybernetics, computing, and telecommunication systems are the hot new things predicted to solve everything from logistical issues to battlefield communication. Unfortunately, most of it is pure hype based on an inaccurate understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the technology. Still, the Jeune Ecole that forms the technology's most ardent supporters is a valuable source of political capital for pushing through innovation in the field in the face of intransigence from conservative elements.
(Actions that drive technological progress, advancement of electronics, cybernetics, prosthetics/implants, robotics, automation, etc., gain a +2 Circumstance Bonus alongside reduced costs.)
[] Land of Ideals
Many outside the country may call Wei foolish for his idealism, but the people? They have started to see. There is a belief in Guangchou that a better world is out there waiting if they dare to grasp the tools to make it happen. Perhaps they'll never reach their ideal goal, but they don't have to create a perfect world overnight.
(Less Impact of Sub-Optimal Actions and damaging scandals/events.)
[] Nation of Tinkerers
Thanks in part to the boom of innovation and industry sparked by Wei's rule, a latent bit of Guanchou's culture has been pushed to the forefront. A propensity for tinkering with and improving things, coming up with exciting solutions, and a tendency to rapidly adopt and implement new modifications to something they use in their daily lives. In other words, now that the situation has improved and more people are starting to have the means to do so, people are beginning to invent new things and improve the tech they use passively.
(People-driven technological innovation becomes a part of Guangchou culture, with a slight chance of achieving a breakthrough without any actions spent each turn.)
[] Operation Diamond Pony
Building onto the successes of Operation Rainbow Road, we can improve our intelligence efforts and the recruitment of promising scientists being denied their chance to shine on the stage of academia as they improve humanities knowledge and understanding of the universe and the world, alongside how to manipulate the same for the betterment of all peoples.
(Maluses/Increased Difficulty for creating/researching advanced/ambitious technologies is reduced by 4 across the board once, and 1 permanently.)
