The Riamese sailors had arrived to the city in about [TBA], when Shiu Kung was still an independent city state. Overtime, especially during the Riamese colonisation of Sukong, the name was butchered to its current form, Sukong.

Politics

Main article: Politics of Sukong

Sukong is a one-party state governed by the Federal Communist Party (FCP) (Sukong: 聯赤黨, Lìen Chhǐek Täng, LCT), which self-declares as Marxist-Leninist. Along with Montilla and the USWR, this makes Sukong one of the few countries in Anteria governed by a communist party. Despite the government's declarations, many economists and politologists have disagreed with this, saying that the country, whilst governed by a communist party, has a mixed-market economy, therefore it shouldn't be defined as truly communist.

Sukong officially describes itself, most notably in the constitution, as a "Socialist state governed by a people's democratically elected dictatorship, based on an alliance of peasants, workers, and the unfortunate, united by their desire for true equality and the promise of the end to the oppressive leadership of the bourgeoisie.", as well as a "people's democracy", however, the government claims the right to censor what it considers "anti-revolutionary speech and rhethoric", although censorship has been decreasingly less common.

Public views of government

The most well-known political issues in Sukong are the changes to the economical structure of the populace, a growing divide between the rich and the poor, and government corruption. Despite these problems, the majority of Sukongs hold a positive view towards the government. Independent international studies conducted in Sukong by the Adrian Nowý School of Advanced International Studies (ANSAIS) in Králowec show that on average, 92% of the respondents were satisfied with the Sukong government. The study attributed this to the government's efficiency, attentiveness and responsiveness, as well as the extensive welfare state, which the study claimed had a 93% satisfaction rate.
