'''New Taipei''', also known as the '''Directorate of New Taipei City,''' is a [[Sovereign state|sovereign]] [[city-state]] located on the northernmost point of [[Geography of Taiwan|the island of Taiwan]], between the East and South China Seas. It is surrounded by the [[China|People's Republic of China]] with the exception of Heunggong, which lies entirely within New Taipei. The [[directorate]] is home to over 9,000,000 residents as of the 2020s, of whom only around 900,000 are native to New Taipei. The city is regarded as the foremost in the biological sciences, as measured by scientific output per capita. 98% of its residents possess the ''Householder's B'' gene. The [[official language|official languages]] of New Taipei are [[Standard Chinese]] and [[English language|English]]. [[Malay language|Malay]] is spoken by many student residents.{{efn|For further information, see [[Languages of Monaco]].}}<br />
<br />
With an area of {{cvt|2352|km2}}, New Taipei is one of the smallest sovereign states in the world. The city is composed of 11 administrative districts, each of which assuming a specific function in the economy of New Taipei. The largest district, District 7, is governed by [[Director general|Director]] Wan Ai and provides a site for New Taipei's university system.<br />
<br />
The city is governed as a [[Directorial system|directorial autocracy]]. The Board Chairman, currently Neville Crowley, serves as both the [[head of state]] and [[head of government]]. Directors appointed by Board Chairman of New Taipei are entitled to serve for life. New directors must be distinguished academics who have lived in New Taipei for over 10 years; New Taipei citizenship may be waived as a requirement with the confirmation of a supermajority of directors in addition to the approval of the Board Chairman. Neville Crowley has ruled New Taipei since 2032. The city was established in the aftermath of the 10 Days' War: the People's Republic of China leased the land of current New Taipei in an effort to restore the lost technological knowledge of the [[Taiwan|Republic of China]]. New Taipei, despite its size, maintains one of the largest militaries in the world.<br />
<br />
New Taipei owes most of its early economic development to the discovery of the ''Householder's B'' gene. The [[Climate change|harsh]] climate of New Taipei led to research efforts toward developing robust crops. New Taipei has since become a center of research in genetic modification, neuroprosthetics, and human enhancement. New Taipei provides free education to students willing to undergo its Biological Integration Development Program. Just under 90% of residents are students, with the remainder being academics working for New Taipei.<br />
<br />
New Taipei uses the [[New Taiwan dollar]] as its only currency. The city is not a member of any [[International organization|international organizations]], though it is unofficially recognized by most [[United Nations|UN]] member states. District 5 contains the First Bank of New Taipei and the New Taipei Stock Exchange, the second-largest stock market by capitalization.<br />
<br />
==History of New Taipei==<br />
New Taipei's name comes from a municipality of Old Taiwan that went by the same name. The conclusion of the 10 Days' War saw the complete distruction of Old Taiwan and its industries. Neville Crowley, who had been a businessman from England, thus offered to redevelop the New Taiwan City and turn it into a center of technological development. This deal was completed in 2032, immediately establishing New Taipei as a sovereign state.<br />
<br />
The Two Elements Intitution was the first research organization formed. This institution, located in what would become District 7, initially focused on the study of the ''Householder's B'' gene discovered a 50 years prior. Scientists working in the United States had noted that the electrical signals in the brain of a person with ''Householder's B'' gene were remarkably amenable to interpretation by digital computers. These studies would serve as the foundation for New Taipei's Biological Integration Development Program, created in hopes of enhancing humans via genetic modification and augmentation.<br />
<br />
===21st century===<br />
[[File:ROC New Taipei City.svg|left|thumb|Districts of New Taipei]]<br />
In 2032, Neville Crowley purchased New Taipei from the [[China|PRC]]. New Taipei initially contained just 3 districts, the first of which being the city's agricultural center. A global famine in the 2040s prompted Distric 1's director, Su Wen, to begin exploring alternative ways to produce enough food to feed New Taipei's growing population. The Centers for Agricultural Sciences was thus established with a focus on the direct modification of plants. In 2052, Director Su expanded the mission of CAS to the cultivation of biological methods for the enhancement of terrestrial organisms.<br />
<br />
Xiong Shuzen would later found Silexis, an agriculture and [[neuroprosthetics]] company that in District 1. Silexis, in collaboration with CAS, allegedly carried out unethical [[human cloning]] experiments, leading to severe [[Sanctions (law)|sanctions]] from the rest of world. These punitive actions ultimately went unaddressed by the city's Board of Directors, leading to the [[Golden Week (China)|Golden Week]] Riots of 2054. Unrest continued until the city resolved to eliminate such experiments from its territory.<br />
<br />
A 2055 amendment to the constitution made human experimentation completely legal. This quick reversal of policy isolated New Taipei, but ultimately cause little civil unrest due to the efforts of the city's enhanced [[Peacekeeper|peacekeepers]].<br />
<br />
Neville Crowley was seen for the last time in 2066. Statements from previous directors indicate that age requires that he remain in District 2's famous Windowless Building.<br />
<br />
In 2067, following a complete description of the genes that control intelligence, memory, and athleticism by New Taipei researchers, the Board of Directors mandated that all hopeful residents undergo a battery of [[Human genetic enhancement|genetic enhancements]] developed by the state.<br />
<br />
===22nd century===<br />
[[File:New Taipei City Art Museum 20230414.jpg|left|thumb|New Taipei Institute of Agriculture]]<br />
In 2101, an outbreak of a novel human [[cytomegalovirus]] caused the deaths of 103,492 people in District 8. Investigations carried out by New Taipei's internal security agencies suggest that the virus was engineered by terror organization Skill-Out.<br />
<br />
==Government==<br />
===Politics===<br />
[[File:Warren Smith.jpg|left|thumb|Board Chairman Neville Crowley in 2037]]<br />
New Taipei is governed by a Board of Directors, presided over by an autocratic Board Chairman. The exectutive functions of government are left in the hands of the directors. The Board Chairman may appoint any resident of New Taipei who has demonstrated significant academic value to the position of director. Following a 2051 amendment, appointing a non-citizen required confirmation from the Board of Directors.<br />
<br />
The Constitution of New Taipei entitles directors to serve for life. The Board Chairman may not dismiss a director without the consent of a simple majority of directors. The 11 directors independently operate legislative bodies for their respective districts. The Board Chairman, as the chief legislator, may unilaterally create city-wide laws, with the exception of modifying the Constitution. The judiciary of New Taipei consists of 11 district courts and 1 supreme court. District judges are appointed by directors, while the Supreme Court is managed directly by the Board Chairman.<br />
<br />
===Security===<br />
The security of New Taipei is delegated to the Director of District 9 and the New Taipei Self-Defence Force. The NTSDF is empowered to enforce laws within New Taipei, as required by the Board of Directors.<br />
<br />
The NTSDF has around 117,000 active personnel. District 9 houses New Taipei's warships and advanced military aircraft. New Taipei officially only maintains a peacekeeping corps, but soldiers with beneficial mutations of the ''Householder's B'' gene are inducted into the NTSDF's civil defence forces. These special soldiers are called "aggressors" due to the fact that operate very similarly to organized crime groups.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
[[File:Taipei taiwan satellite map.jpg|left|thumb|Satellite view of New Taipei]]<br />
New Taipei City is located at the northern tip of the Island of Taiwan. New Taipei's territory covers mountains, hills, and basins. The northern coast is lined with beaches. The [[Tamsui River]] runs right throught New Taipei. The tallest peak is [[Mount Zhuzi]], rising to 1,094 m above sea level.<br />
[[File:Taiwan Boulevard Huizhong intersection.jpg|thumb|Huizhong intersection, District 2]]<br />
The Port of Taipei in District 1 is New Taipei's only natural harbor.<br />
<br />
===Administrative divisions===<br />
[[File:Linkou, New Taipei Cityscape 2021.jpg|thumb|District 6 cityscape in August]]<br />
New Taipei is one of the smallest countries in the world, falling behind [[Luxembourg]] by hundreds of square kilometers. There is no distiction between the State of New Taipei City and the city proper. The districts of New Taipei have distinct roles.<br />
<br />
*District 1, the oldest part of New Taipei and its agricultural center;<br />
*District 2, the designated residential and tourism area of New Taipei;<br />
*District 3, the southwestern section including the port area, [[Port Hercules]].<br />
<br />
*District 4, the location of most recreational facilities;<br />
*District 5, which houses middle and high school institutions;<br />
*District 6, the seat of New Taipei's administration;<br />
*District 7, the location of most universities and research institutuions;<br />
*District 8, which houses energy facilities;<br />
*District 9, the center of defence-related facilities;<br />
*District 10, the commercial center of New Taipei;<br />
*District 11, the location of most kindergartens and elementary schools.<br />
<br />
==Economy==<br />
[[File:Cityscape of Kaohsiung, Taiwan 202303.jpg|left|thumb|Port of Taipei]]<br />
New Taipei has the world's highest [[List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita|GDP PPP per capita]] at $218,111. The unemployment rate is consistently below 1%. The city claims to have a 0% poverty rate.<br />
<br />
New Taipei's main source of income is its agricultural and biotechnological exports. New Taipei is the only state in the world capable of providing genetic enhancements to millions on demand. It has also become a major financial center, owning one of the second-largest stock exchanges in the world. New Taipei also specializes in neuomorphic semiconductor technologies for integration with human's with ''Householder's B'' gene. Prosthetics created in New Taipei's facilities are capable of improving the memory, intelligence, and lifespan of a patien without adverse side-effects. Adoption of genetic enhancements in other countries is said to be around 50 years behind New Taipei's.<br />
<br />
The city operates New Taipei Telecom, a [[Telecommunications|telecomminications]] company that provides the infrastructure for New Taipei's student network. Via this network, students are able to transmit neural signals to anyone within the city.<br />
===Medical industry===<br />
[[File:Science fiction surgery room.jpg|left|thumb|Interior of Hou Song Hospital in District 6]]<br />
Residents of New Taipei undergo personalized gene therapy to prevent cancer and other preventable disorders. New Taipei's hospital system attracts many medical tourists. There is a growing number of people who visit New Taipei to benefit from its lack of laws on genetic enhancement; in 2114, the Tourism Comittee of District 2 reported that most new parents visiting in New Taipei do so to have their children customized before birth. Pharmaceutical exports are generally limited to [[biologics]] that are difficult to manufacture without the resources of an entire state.<br />
<br />
==Education==<br />
===Primary and secondary schools===<br />
[[File:NTUAdministrationBldg.jpg|thumb|National University of New Taipei]]<br />
New Taipei operates a total of 117 public primary and secondary schools. The city also oversees a further 34 private schools. Education in New Taipei, per the Biological Integration Development Program, focuses on teaching students how to maximize the effectiveness of their prosthetics. Idiosyncrasies in the genetic makeup of students mean that further genetic enhancement after birth requires an individual understanding of how every student responds to New Taipei's curriculum.<br />
<br />
===Colleges and universities===<br />
There are over 400 public and private research institutions in New Taipei. Post-secondary education is usually only undertaken by immigrants who wish to use students in their research.{{Navboxes<br />

<br />
The NTSDF has around 117,000 active personnel. District 9 houses New Taipei's warships and advanced military aircraft. New Taipei officially only maintains a peacekeeping corps, but soldiers with beneficial mutations of the ''Householder's B'' gene are inducted into the NTSDF's civil defence forces. These special soldiers are called "aggressors" due to the fact that operate very similarly to organized crime groups.<br />

<br />
New Taipei's main source of income is its agricultural and biotechnological exports. New Taipei is the only state in the world capable of providing genetic enhancements to millions on demand. It has also become a major financial center, owning one of the second-largest stock exchanges in the world. New Taipei also specializes in neuomorphic semiconductor technologies for integration with human's with ''Householder's B'' gene. Prosthetics created in New Taipei's facilities are capable of improving the memory, intelligence, and lifespan of a patien without adverse side-effects. Adoption of genetic enhancements in other countries is said to be around 50 years behind New Taipei's.<br />
<br />
The city operates New Taipei Telecom, a [[Telecommunications|telecomminications]] company that provides the infrastructure for New Taipei's student network. Via this network, students are able to transmit neural signals to anyone within the city.<br />

Residents of New Taipei undergo personalized gene therapy to prevent cancer and other preventable disorders. New Taipei's hospital system attracts many medical tourists. There is a growing number of people who visit New Taipei to benefit from its lack of laws on genetic enhancement; in 2114, the Tourism Comittee of District 2 reported that most new parents visiting in New Taipei do so to have their children customized before birth. Pharmaceutical exports are generally limited to [[biologics]] that are difficult to manufacture without the resources of an entire state.<br />
<br />

New Taipei operates a total of 117 public primary and secondary schools. The city also oversees a further 34 private schools. Education in New Taipei, per the Biological Integration Development Program, focuses on teaching students how to maximize the effectiveness of their prosthetics. Idiosyncrasies in the genetic makeup of students mean that further genetic enhancement after birth requires an individual understanding of how every student responds to New Taipei's curriculum.<br />
<br />
===Colleges and universities===<br />
There are over 400 public and private research institutions in New Taipei. Post-secondary education is usually only undertaken by immigrants who wish to use students in their research.{{Navboxes<br />
