The legislature is multi-party and operates with an independent judiciary to uphold the rule of law. Elections are competitive and voluntary.

Economy: Hiinas maintains a diversified economy with services, light manufacturing, and agriculture as main sectors. Key exports include electronics components, agricultural products, and tourism services. The currency is the Hiinar.

History and culture: The Hiinese state in this setting was established in the late 1990s after a peaceful transition to constitutional rule. Urban centers developed along the coast, while inland communities preserved diverse cultural traditions. National culture emphasizes craftsmanship, music, and regional cuisine, supported by a universal basic education system and relatively high literacy.
