'''Zhijun''' (Daxian: ''知君省''), officially the '''Zhijun Special Federal District''', is a territory of the [[Republic of Daxia]] in [[Australis]] consisting of two islands off the northern coast of the [[Peratra]] region. The main island is named Zhijun while the smaller of the two is named Tang. Colonized in the 1590's by the [[Daxia]]n Qian dynasty, the islands were extensively populated by transplanted colonists brought over from mainland [[Daxia]]. It grew in importance as a base of operations for the [[South Seas Development Company|South Seas Trading Company]] and a trading outpost with the native tribes of [[Peratra]], and later would be used as a staging point for a conquest of the subcontinent and as the foremost base of [[Daxia]]n power projection in the western [[Ocean of Cathay]] and the [[Polynesian Sea]] especially during the [[Daxian Polynesian Wars]]. Zhijun was a key stopping point of the first leg of the trip for the flow of slaves of the [[Southern slave trade]]. | '''Zhijun''' (Daxian: ''知君省''), officially the '''Zhijun Special Federal District''', is a territory of the [[Republic of Daxia]] in [[Australis]] consisting of two islands off the northern coast of the [[Peratra]] region.

Zhijun was a key stopping point of the first leg of the trip for the flow of slaves of the [[Southern slave trade]]. In the aftermath of the [[Second Great War]] Zhijun experienced brief periods of political autonomy from the mainland, first under the governorship of Qian dynasty loyalist [[Tang Jun]] and later under the [[Green Army]], a Hluttaw supremacist rebel group turned regional government. The custodianship of the [[Green Army]] soldier-bureaucrats over Zhijun came to a crashing end in 2011 after naval assets based in Zhijun were directed by mainland authorities to forcibly remove the group from power. [[Hun San]], the last District Chief to emanate from the [[Green Army]] was disappeared in 2016, a testament to the utter political powerlessness of the organization. | ||
