I feel as if the people on the mainland of the confederacy do not fully appreciate the fullness with which the people of Minh-Cong support the confederacy as a whole, despite their physical separation on the island of Hypernostria. Their people, though significantly less interested in the progress of science than mainland confederates, certainly do provide a service to our nation, that being the soul of culture.—Edward Coldstone, Cira: A Legacy (1675 AN)
Minh-Cong is a constituent governorate of the Ciric Confederacy, and is the only territory of the confederacy situated overseas from the mainland on Sypyr, being located on the eastern edge of the island of Hypernostria in Corum. Minh-Cong is significantly different from the mainland confederacy culture-wise, but the governorate is still very closely linked to and loyal to the main confederate government in the Confederate Parliament.
Overview
Minh-Cong is situated on the eastern edge of Hypernostria, south of the continent of Corum. It's proximity to the mainland of the continent affords it a minimal amount of exposure to the extremely unique flora and fauna particular to the continent, though the extreme cold of the southern regions and early purges of certain dangerous beasts have lessened the populations of most of these creatures to be extremely uncommon.
The territory is currently governed by governor Rhan Nuyen, a former arts university professor who began his political life by running for and joining the local lesser parliament of Minh-Cong, and subsequently being elected as governor of the constituency. As a whole, the political atmosphere of Minh-Cong is fairly similar to the politics of the mainland confederacy, generally being ruled by policies of inclusion and progressivism, though Minh-Cong is much more likely to put forward politics expressing "sentiment" about something that would increase the scientific output of the nation; these concerns are almost always related to environmentalism.
While the governorate does not have a particular cultural emphasis on the military, it is still an important strategic asset to the confederacy due to its location, which has prompted the construction of a few significant military bases in Minh-Cong and caused the constituency to produce some of the top military officers of the confederacy, including the current director of the military, Vangh Tet. These military bases are also a cause of a significant portion of the migration of mainland confederates to the constituency.
