Nik has removed it. Joe's website is (temporarily, I hope) gone. Anyway, I've moved all its contents to China. --IJzeren Jan 00:35, 3 December 2005 (PST)

Naming

How did Beihanguo & Nanhanguo get their names? Misterxeight 23:56, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

It's Putunghua (Mandarin) language.
"Bei" = "North", "Han" = "Han Chinese", "Guo" = "Land"
"Nan" = "South", "Han" = "Han Chinese", "Guo" = "Land"
Hope this clarifies. Geoff
They were all created by Joe when he came up with a map of The Chinas (since China was dissolved after the GWII) BoArthur 16:19, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
I've been using "Beihan" and "Nanhan" as adjectives, as in, "trouble in the Beihan economy". I don't know if this is correct. Benkarnell
Hmm...that's a puzzler. It's either Beihan and Nanhan or Beihanese and Nanhanese. Maybe they both have decided on something else aside that they prefer the international press use.BoArthur 18:19, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
