Zhili Clique

The Zhili Clique, officially the Beijing Government of the Republic of China, and commonly referred to as the Zhili Republic, is a prominent warlord state in China, and a leading member of the Chinese United Front. Having fought a long and costly war of resistance against Japan, the end looks to be finally in sight. However, many in Zhili's government are keenly aware that there can only be one ruler of China; the current compromise between them and the southern Federation cannot last, and unless the Zhili Republic moves soon, it may find itself swept away by the rushing waters of history.
