The Greater People's Republic, commonly known as the GPR, was a political union that existed from 174 BFC until being replaced by Greater Zhōngguó in 98 BFC. It originated in a military and political alliance formed by the People's Republic of China, Russia, their respective off-Earth colonies, as well as North Korea, Myanmar, Siberia, and Mongolia during the fallout from the Ten-Hour War. It broadened to include tight economic integration, with Russia and Siberia shipping increasingly large quantities of food to China as global warming increased in exchange for machinery, electronics, and rare earth minerals. Although initially suffering economically, through its expanding rare earth and mineral wealth China was able to recover and fund large state sponsored migrations of people from North Korea and Myanmar along with large incentives for people having children until it again became an economic superpower.
