 hong_kong_focus: "Ветка фокусов Гонконга"
 HKG_divided_hong_kong: "Разделённый Гонконг"
 HKG_divided_hong_kong_desc: "Последние годы британского правления в Гонконге оставили после себя наследие плюралистической демократии. Однако они также породили бесконечные споры между сторонниками истеблишмента, демократов и локалистами, снижая эффективность управления на каждом шагу. Люди начинают задаваться вопросом, действительно ли эта хаотичная «демократия» так хороша, как её представляют."
 HKG_support_pro_beijing_camp: "Поддержите пропекинский лагерь"
 HKG_support_pro_beijing_camp_desc: "«Свобода важна. Но в нашей социальной культуре свобода не так важна, как стабильность». Сейчас настало время, чтобы мир стал свидетелем более стабильного и безопасного Гонконга."
 HKG_railway_development_strategy_2000: "Стратегия развития железнодорожного транспорта 2000 года"
 HKG_railway_development_strategy_2000_desc: "Растущее население и увеличение трансграничной торговли приводят к транспортному коллапсу в Гонконге. Стратегия развития железных дорог до 2000 года будет определять направление расширения системы метрополитена в течение следующего десятилетия, переводя пассажирские и грузовые перевозки с автомобильных дорог на железнодорожный транспорт."
 HKG_sign_CEPA: "Sign the CEPA"
 HKG_sign_CEPA_desc: "The Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement formalises preferential trade access between Hong Kong and the mainland. A boon for cross-border commerce, and a step closer to economic interdependence."
 HKG_approve_funding_for_XRL: "Approve Funding for the XRL"
 HKG_approve_funding_for_XRL_desc: "The Express Rail Link will connect Hong Kong directly to the mainland high-speed rail network. The funding is large, the political symbolism larger still."
 HKG_co_location_bill: "The Co-Location Bill"
 HKG_co_location_bill_desc: "A controversial bill placing mainland Chinese law-enforcement jurisdiction at the West Kowloon XRL terminal. The pro-Beijing camp calls it pragmatic, pan-democrats call it a constitutional breach."
 HKG_electoral_reform: "Избирательная реформа"
 HKG_electoral_reform_desc: "Основной закон предписывает порядок избрания главы исполнительной власти на первые два срока и членов Законодательного совета на первые три срока, но ничего не говорит о выборах после этого. Это наш шанс добиться реформы избирательной системы и приблизиться к подлинному всеобщему избирательному праву."
 HKG_a_broader_electorate: "Более широкий электорат?"
 HKG_a_broader_electorate_desc: "Внедрение всеобщего избирательного права в Гонконге невозможно в одночасье. В качестве промежуточного шага мы можем обратиться в Постоянный совет Всекитайского собрания народных представителей с просьбой расширить состав Избирательной комиссии, сделав выборы более демократичными, не прибегая к прямому введению полного избирательного права."
 HKG_choose_your_own_puppet: "\"Choose Your Own Puppet\""
 HKG_choose_your_own_puppet_desc: "Universal suffrage in Hong Kong must be achieved, but not at the cost of stability. The nominating committee will ensure that only those who are truly \"patriotic toward China and Hong Kong\" can stand as Chief Executive."
 HKG_a_new_reform_attempt: "A New Reform Attempt"
 HKG_a_new_reform_attempt_desc: "The LegCo is asked once again to consider electoral reform. Will it pass this time, or will history repeat itself?"
 HKG_support_pan_democrats: "Support the Pan-Democrats"
 HKG_support_pan_democrats_desc: "Democracy and liberty are already woven into the fabric of Hong Kong life, and Deng Xiaoping promised not to interfere in its internal affairs. We must participate actively in the democratic movement and defend the freedoms that underpin Hong Kong's prosperity."
 HKG_keep_to_one_country_two_systems: "Keep to One Country Two Systems"
 HKG_keep_to_one_country_two_systems_desc: "\"One country, two systems\" is running smoothly. The mainland uses Hong Kong as a cornerstone of its opening-up policy, while Hong Kong relies on the \"fifty years no change\" guarantee to preserve a way of life that sets it apart from the rest of China. The arrangement serves both sides, and it is clearly in our mutual interest to keep it intact."
 HKG_hong_kong_post_2047_status: "Hong Kong's Post-2047 Status"
 HKG_hong_kong_post_2047_status_desc: "Deng Xiaoping promised that Hong Kong's political and economic system would remain unchanged for fifty years, but no one can say what the city will look like after 2047. The time has come to consider its future."
 HKG_stick_to_CPC_line: "Stick to the CPC Line"
 HKG_stick_to_CPC_line_desc: "Hong Kong will quietly adhere to Beijing's preferred line on contested issues. Pan-democrats will be furious, the patriotic camp delighted."
 HKG_loyal_puppet: "\"The Loyal Puppet\""
 HKG_loyal_puppet_desc: "The pan-democrats have shown their hand, and the streets have shown their fury. Stability and prosperity demand that Hong Kong commit, openly and without apology, to the path Beijing has charted. The transition to a fully integrated Special Administrative Region will not be popular, but it will be final."
 HKG_promote_patriotism: "Promote Patriotism"
 HKG_promote_patriotism_desc: "A generation raised on colonial textbooks and Cantopop sentimentality cannot be relied on to defend the motherland. National Security Education will be embedded in every classroom, every workplace, every broadcaster. Loyalty to the Party is loyalty to Hong Kong."
 HKG_patriots_governing: "Patriots Governing Hong Kong"
 HKG_patriots_governing_desc: "The civil service has too long answered to colonial habits and quiet sympathies. Vetting committees will sweep the bureaucracy from district officers to senior administrators, replacing waverers with proven patriots. Productivity will suffer in the short term; reliability will not."
 HKG_suppress_cantonese_local_culture: "Suppress Cantonese Local Culture"
 HKG_suppress_cantonese_local_culture_desc: "Hong Kong is Chinese, and Chinese means Mandarin. Cantonese broadcasting will be curtailed, local-identity festivals quietly defunded, and dissenting voices in the cultural sector deplatformed. The price will be unrest in the streets and resentment in the home, but a unified national culture is worth the cost."
 HKG_reduce_size_of_LegCo: "Reduce size of the LegCo"
 HKG_reduce_size_of_LegCo_desc: "The Legislative Council has grown bloated with district-level seats that serve only as platforms for opposition theatre. A streamlined chamber, with directly-elected seats reduced and functional constituencies expanded, will let government govern. The Mainland Talent Scheme will fill the gaps with administrators trained in Beijing and Shenzhen."
 HKG_gong_zyu_ou_integration: "Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Integration"
 HKG_gong_zyu_ou_integration_desc: "\"One country, Two systems\" was always a transitional arrangement. With patriots governing the SAR, the boundary between Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao becomes administrative rather than meaningful. Cross-border infrastructure, harmonised regulation and shared talent pools complete the Greater Bay Area as a single economic body, ready for full reintegration with the Motherland."
 HKG_gong_zyu_ou_integration_tt: "If Hong Kong is currently a subject of §Y[CHI.GetFlag]§!, the SAR is annexed and absorbed into the Greater Bay Area. Otherwise this completes the loyalist political alignment without an immediate transfer of sovereignty."
 HKG_support_democracy_in_china: "Support Democracy in China"
 HKG_support_democracy_in_china_desc: "The pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong will openly support reform efforts on the mainland. A direct challenge to Beijing's authority."
 HKG_commemorate_june_fourth: "Commemorate June Fourth"
 HKG_commemorate_june_fourth_desc: "The vigil at Victoria Park has been held every year since 1990, and every year Beijing has watched it with quiet displeasure. This year, we make it official: a public commemoration sanctioned by the SAR government, with the candles, the songs, and the names of the dead. The mainland will not forget. Neither will we."
 HKG_inspire_chinese_grassroots_movements: "Inspire Chinese Grassroots Movements"
 HKG_inspire_chinese_grassroots_movements_desc: "Hong Kong cannot save the mainland alone, but it can show what Chinese democracy looks like in practice. Open broadcasts to the Pearl River Delta, smuggled pamphlets through the border crossings, and quiet financial backing for samizdat networks - the seeds of change planted from the freest Chinese city."
 HKG_call_on_CPC_to_release_dissidents: "Call on the CPC to Release Dissidents"
 HKG_call_on_CPC_to_release_dissidents_desc: "The names are well-known: Liu Xiaobo, Wang Bingzhang, Xu Wenli, dozens more. The SAR government formally and publicly demands their release. Beijing will refuse, of course - but the demand puts the regime's prisons on the international agenda."
 HKG_pro_democracy_media_charter: "Pro-Democracy Media Charter"
 HKG_pro_democracy_media_charter_desc: "Press freedom is not a slogan but a legal regime. The Charter codifies protections for journalists, criminalises political interference in editorial decisions, and establishes a public broadcaster genuinely independent of the executive. The Silenced Press idea is rolled back."
 HKG_fund_civil_society: "Fund Civil Society"
 HKG_fund_civil_society_desc: "Public grants for NGOs, neighbourhood associations, legal aid clinics, and pro-democracy advocacy. The treasury takes a hit; the body politic gets stronger. A democracy without civil society is a forum without an audience."
 HKG_legco_reform_petition: "LegCo Reform Petition"
 HKG_legco_reform_petition_desc: "A formal petition to Beijing for genuine universal suffrage in Legislative Council elections. Direct election of all seats, abolition of the functional constituencies, no nominating committee. The Lacks Universal Suffrage idea is replaced by Limited Universal Suffrage as a first concession."
 HKG_accountability_for_tiananmen: "Accountability for Tiananmen"
 HKG_accountability_for_tiananmen_desc: "We name the men who gave the orders. We name the units that carried them out. We open the SAR's own archives, support international tribunals, and amplify the survivors' testimony. Beijing will treat this as a declaration of war on the Party. Hong Kong's democrats will hear a different message."
 HKG_peaceful_democratic_path: "Peaceful Democratic Path"
 HKG_peaceful_democratic_path_desc: "Reform from within, not confrontation from without. Hong Kong consolidates its democratic institutions, stabilises civil society, and waits for the mainland to change on its own timeline. The candles still burn at Victoria Park, but the streets stay quiet. The next phase of reform begins from a position of strength."
 HKG_appease_localists: "Appease Localists"
 HKG_appease_localists_desc: "Concessions to the localist movement: Cantonese-language preservation, local-first hiring policies, and a slowdown on cross-border integration projects."
 HKG_stoke_anti_mainland_sentiment: "Stoke Anti-Mainland Sentiment"
 HKG_stoke_anti_mainland_sentiment_desc: "China took away all the benefits and left Hong Kong people with high property prices and low purchasing power. Why should Hong Kong remain with China and be willing to be a tiny colony of China?"
 HKG_restrict_tourism_immigration: "Restrict Tourism & Immigration"
 HKG_restrict_tourism_immigration_desc: "New caps on mainland tourists and stricter cross-border immigration rules. Locals will appreciate the breathing room; retailers and developers, less so."
 HKG_emphasize_hong_kong_identity: "Emphasize Hong Kong Identity"
 HKG_emphasize_hong_kong_identity_desc: "Singapore's successful breakaway from Malaysia was due to Mr Lee Kuan Yew's successful national identity consciousness reforms. Hong Kong is perfectly capable of adopting the same approach."
 HKG_distance_from_china: "Distance from China"
 HKG_distance_from_china_desc: "Hong Kong, it is time to weigh anchor and break free of China's control."
 HKG_great_hong_kong_nation: "Great Hong Kong Nation"
 HKG_great_hong_kong_nation_desc: "The handover was a betrayal. The promises of fifty years are a lie. Hong Kong is a nation, not a province, and a nation requires its own flag, its own borders, its own armed forces. We will declare what should never have been negotiated away."
 HKG_hong_kong_first: "Hong Kong First"
 HKG_hong_kong_first_desc: "From the harbours of Aberdeen to the high-rises of Mong Kok, Hong Kong belongs to Hongkongers. Mainland investment, mainland labour, mainland influence will be subject to the will of the local population. Citizenship is heritage, not a transferable convenience."
 HKG_hong_kong_state_constitution: "New Hong Kong State Constitution"
 HKG_hong_kong_state_constitution_desc: "The Basic Law was drafted in Beijing, signed in London, and imposed on a people who had no vote in either capital. A new constitution drafted in Central, by Hongkongers, for Hongkongers, replaces it. The transition is final."
 HKG_armed_forces_of_hong_kong: "Armed Forces of Hong Kong"
 HKG_armed_forces_of_hong_kong_desc: "A nation that cannot defend itself is no nation at all. The Hong Kong Defence Force, drawn from volunteers and conscripts alike, will field infantry capable of holding the New Territories and a coast guard that can challenge any incursion. The Basic Law's military restrictions are dead letters."
 HKG_irredentist_claim_pearl_river: "Claim the Pearl River Delta"
 HKG_irredentist_claim_pearl_river_desc: "The Pearl River Delta - Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai - was Cantonese before it was Communist, and the people there share more with us than with Beijing. We assert our claim openly. Whether by negotiation or by force, the Delta will reunite with its cultural heart."
 HKG_little_bird_under_british_wing: "Little Bird Under British Wing"
 HKG_little_bird_under_british_wing_desc: "The fact that Hong Kong has seceded from China does not mean that she can survive in the world on her own. We need the assistance of others. How about our old British masters?"
 HKG_request_rerule_british_government: "Request for Re-ruled by British Government"
 HKG_request_rerule_british_government_desc: "Once upon a time, the Sino-British negotiations never honoured the wishes of the Hong Kong people for remaining within the British Empire. This time, we will follow our own hearts."
 HKG_aukus_intelligence_share: "AUKUS Intelligence Sharing"
 HKG_aukus_intelligence_share_desc: "British, American and Australian intelligence services have long maintained a quiet interest in Hong Kong. Formalised tech transfer and signals cooperation, under the AUKUS umbrella, place the SAR firmly inside the Anglosphere security architecture."
 HKG_uk_garrison_rights: "British Garrison Rights"
 HKG_uk_garrison_rights_desc: "A symbolic Royal Marine detachment in Stonecutters, Royal Navy port-calls in Victoria Harbour, and a basing agreement that lets Britain reach the South China Sea from a friendly shore. The garrison is small. The signal is not."
 HKG_commonwealth_realm_ambition: "Commonwealth Realm Ambition"
 HKG_commonwealth_realm_ambition_desc: "Canada, Australia, New Zealand - all once colonies, all now realms, all still under the Crown. Hong Kong petitions the Commonwealth Heads of Government to be welcomed back, not as a possession but as a sovereign realm sharing a monarch. The historical insult of the handover finds its long answer."
 HKG_city_state_idea: "The City-state Idea"
 HKG_city_state_idea_desc: "Singapore proved it could be done. A Chinese-majority city, surrounded by larger powers, can survive and prosper as a sovereign trading hub if it chooses neutrality and competence over ideology. Hong Kong will follow that template, but better."
 HKG_revise_basic_law: "Revise the Basic Law"
 HKG_revise_basic_law_desc: "The Basic Law was drafted as a transition document, with Beijing as the implicit ultimate authority. A revised charter strips out those clauses, asserts full sovereignty, and rewrites the SAR's framework as a republic of laws. Defence and foreign policy now belong to Hong Kong."
 HKG_pearl_of_east_asia: "The Pearl of East Asia"
 HKG_pearl_of_east_asia_desc: "Free of mainland constraints and Western entanglements alike, the city positions itself as the unrivalled financial and commercial entrepot of East Asia. Capital flows through Central. Talent flows to Wan Chai. The Pearl outshines Shanghai and Singapore both."
 HKG_global_financial_capital: "Global Financial Capital"
 HKG_global_financial_capital_desc: "HKEX, an independent monetary authority, and a regulatory regime designed to attract capital that cannot trust New York or London. Hong Kong becomes the financial centre of gravity for the Asia-Pacific - quietly, profitably, irreplaceably."
 HKG_coastal_defence_doctrine: "Coastal Defence Doctrine"
 HKG_coastal_defence_doctrine_desc: "A city-state cannot afford a blue-water navy, but it can afford to make any incursion expensive. Anti-ship missiles, mined approaches, a hardened harbour and a doctrine focused on denial rather than projection. Hong Kong will be a porcupine, not a lion."
 HKG_under_lion_rock_hill: "Below the Lion Rock"
 HKG_under_lion_rock_hill_desc: "§COn the same boat beneath the Rock we'll strive as one\n\nAll equal under the Sun.\n\nWhen we free and united be\n\nPursue our dreams of joy\n\nTogether, one soul, one heart\n\nOne hope no fear can destroy.\n\nWhere ends the sky and sea\n\nJoin hands, and walk with me\n\nTo overcome, and triumph in our fight to write\n\nOur tale of home, shining bright.§!"

 HKG_secondary_school_education_reform_desc: "Secondary education's old 3-2-2-3 structure will be replaced by the 3-3-4 scheme already in use in the United States and mainland China. The reform removes overlapping and obsolete content while introducing a wider range of elective subjects."
 HKG_patriotic_education_curriculum_reform: "Patriotic Education Curriculum Reform"

 HKG_hong_kong_police_force_desc: "The Hong Kong Police Force was established on May 1, 1844, and it is the largest disciplined force within the Hong Kong government.

 HKG_lock_housing_price: "Freeze Housing Prices"
 HKG_lock_housing_price_desc: "The government legislates a hard ceiling on residential property prices, indexed to median income. Landowners are apoplectic; tenants and the labour unions celebrate. The market becomes predictable - and stagnant."

 Basic_Law_HKG_desc: "The Basic Law was the founding document of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region after the handover of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China. Among other things, the document outlines the status of Hong Kong relative to China, granted it autonomy in all matters other than defence and foreign affairs, both of which are entrusted to the central government.\n\n§W----------\nAs a §Y[HKG.GetFlag]§!§HS.A.R§!, does not have its own defense force, the Required level of defense budget will be maintained at §H0§!, and would also not allow to change §GMilitary Spending.§!§!"

The model of one country two systems allows for a preservation and indeed growth of many of Hong Kong and Macau's treasured political freedoms, such as freedom of speech and freedom of public assembly. The absence of these rights in the mainland is a significant driver behind support for the \"pan-democrat\" camp in Hong Kong politics, with many concerned Hongkongers remaining wary of greater integration with mainland China."
 Localist_Movement: "Localist Movement"
 Localist_Movement_desc: "Ever since the handover in 1997, tensions between mainland Chinese and Hongkongers have led to the development of localist \"Hong Kong First\" sentiment amongst some local Hongkongers. This sentiment views communist China's political system with distrust, but also views Hong Kong people as culturally distinct and indeed superior compared to the people of China. The rise of this movement from the 2014 Umbrella Movement onward has changed the previously more measured tone of the Hong Kong political divide into one that is more emotive and radical."

On July 5 at 7:30 PM, the signal was upgraded to Gale Or Storm Signal No.8, marking the first issuance of this signal in the 21st century. Due to storm surges, the combination of the storm surge and the normal high tide on that morning resulted in a sea level of 3.4 meters recorded at Quarry Bay, the highest since Typhoon Wanda hit Hong Kong in 1962. This led to severe flooding in Tai O and the northwestern New Territories on July 6. Some main streets in Tai O turned into rivers, with water depths reaching up to three meters.

 HKG_counter_terrorism_capability: "Counter-Terrorism Capability"

 hongkong_order.2.c: "Restrict cooperation to formal channels only."
 hongkong_order.3.t: "Demonstrations Outside Government House"
 hongkong_order.3.d: "Several thousand protesters have gathered outside Government House. The grievances are mixed - housing affordability, employment, civic frustrations harder to articulate. Some banners reference the handover; many do not. The crowd is loud but not violent. The Force must decide on a response."
 hongkong_order.3.a: "Open dialogue with the organisers."
 hongkong_order.3.b: "Maintain a visible perimeter and await events."
 hongkong_order.3.c: "Authorise crowd dispersal."
 hongkong_order.4.t: "Allegations of Police-Triad Cooperation"
 hongkong_order.4.d: "A whistleblower's report alleges that members of the Force have been receiving payments to overlook certain triad operations.

 hongkong_housing.1.t: "Hong Kong's Housing Crisis"
 hongkong_housing.1.d: "Median property prices have outstripped median household income by a factor of twenty. Tens of thousands of Hongkongers live in subdivided flats and cage homes. The waiting list for public housing exceeds six years and is growing. The government has acknowledged the crisis and committed to a programme of reform - but which reform, and at whose expense, remains the central question of Hong Kong politics."
 hongkong_housing.1.a: "We must act decisively."
 hongkong_housing.2.t: "Housing for All Hongkongers"
 hongkong_housing.2.d: "After years of construction, reform, and political fights, the last of the housing programme's targets has been met. The cage homes are being emptied.

 HKG_contract.50.d: "From subcontractor to shipbuilder of the first rank - Hong Kong's yards have completed the domestic aircraft carrier programme and put an aircraft carrier to sea. What began as procurement contracts for Beijing has grown into a shipbuilding industry that answers to no one. The Hong Kong Fleet is born, and with it Hong Kong takes its place among the naval powers."
 HKG_contract.50.a: "The city sails"
 HKG_contract_dockyard_revenue: "Procurement Dividend"
 HKG_contract_dockyard_revenue_desc: "A fulfilled contract for Beijing keeps Hong Kong's dockyards busy and profitable. Naval construction draws steady revenue while the order books stay full."
 HKG_contract_beijing_displeasure: "Beijing's Displeasure"
 HKG_contract_beijing_displeasure_desc: "Hong Kong failed to deliver a contracted order on time. The Central Military Commission has lost confidence in the city's shipyards, and the political cost is felt across the administration."
 HKG_contract_naval_power: "Naval Power of Hong Kong"
 HKG_contract_naval_power_desc: "Hong Kong's shipyards built a carrier of their own and proved themselves equal to any in Asia. The city's naval industry is now a permanent strategic asset."
 HKG_carrier_home: "An Aircraft Carrier for Hong Kong"
 HKG_carrier_home_desc: "Building a domestic aircraft carrier is the most ambitious project the city has ever attempted. It begins with the slipways, the dry docks, and the political will to see it through."
 HKG_carrier_construction: "Lay Down the Hull"
 HKG_carrier_construction_desc: "Eastern Maritime Shipbuilding Group breaks ground on the carrier's hull. The work draws on every yard and welder Hong Kong can spare."
 HKG_carrier_construction2: "Fit Out the Aircraft Carrier"
 HKG_carrier_construction2_desc: "With the hull complete, the aircraft carrier moves to fitting-out. Power plant, command spaces, and the island superstructure are installed dockside."
 HKG_carrier_modules: "Aircraft Carrier Systems Integration"
 HKG_carrier_modules_desc: "Modern carrier modules are integrated into the design: catapults, arrestor gear, and damage-control systems, drawing on hard-won naval experience."
 HKG_flight_deck_limitations: "Overcome the Flight Deck Limitations"
 HKG_flight_deck_limitations_desc: "Hong Kong's first flight deck is cramped by Western standards. Engineers rework the deck layout to launch and recover aircraft at a usable tempo."
 HKG_carrier_special_airwing: "Train the Aircraft Carrier Air Wing"
 HKG_carrier_special_airwing_desc: "An aircraft carrier is only as capable as the pilots who fly from it. Hong Kong invests in a dedicated naval air wing trained for deck operations."
 HKG_carrier_defensive_weapons: "Aircraft Carrier Self-Defence Suite"
 HKG_carrier_defensive_weapons_desc: "Close-in weapon systems, point-defence missiles, and electronic countermeasures are fitted so the aircraft carrier can survive without leaning entirely on its escorts."
 HKG_carrier_logistics: "Aircraft Carrier Support Infrastructure"
 HKG_carrier_logistics_desc: "An aircraft carrier demands a home port equal to the task: deep-water berths, ammunition stores, and the logistics tail to keep it at sea."
 HKG_expanded_shipyards: "Expand the Shipyards"
 HKG_expanded_shipyards_desc: "Hong Kong's dockyards are pushed to their limit. New slipways and dry docks expand the city's capacity to build and repair warships."
 HKG_expanded_trade_capacity: "Expand Trade Capacity"
 HKG_expanded_trade_capacity_desc: "As one of the world's great entrepôts, Hong Kong invests in the port and industrial capacity needed to keep goods moving through the harbour."
 HKG_expanded_searoutes: "Secure the Sea Routes"

 HKG_expanded_inland_routes_desc: "Beyond the harbour, Hong Kong strengthens the rail and road links that tie it to the mainland and feed its industry."
 HKG_offshore_industry: "Develop Offshore Industry"
 HKG_offshore_industry_desc: "Land in Hong Kong is scarce and dear. The city turns to reclaimed and offshore sites to make room for new industrial complexes."
 HKG_offshore_industry2: "Expand Offshore Industry"
 HKG_offshore_industry2_desc: "The offshore industrial programme proves its worth. Further reclamation and construction push Hong Kong's manufacturing base out across the water."
 HKG_housing_policy_modifier: "Housing Policy"
 HKG_housing_policy_modifier_desc: "The cumulative weight of Hong Kong's housing decisions, felt across construction, the public purse, and the patience of its people. Each step in the housing programme shifts these figures for better or worse."
 HKG_small_house_policy: "Reform the Small House Policy"
 HKG_small_house_policy_desc: "The colonial-era Small House Policy grants indigenous New Territories villagers the right to build a low-rise home on ancestral land. Reforming it frees up vast tracts for higher-density development, but the rural establishment will resist any change to their inherited privileges."
 HKG_brownfield_consolidation: "Consolidate the Brownfields"
 HKG_brownfield_consolidation_desc: "Hundreds of hectares in the New Territories sit under open-air storage yards, scrapyards, and container parks. Consolidating these brownfield sites into multi-storey facilities unlocks the land beneath for housing without a single reclamation barge."
 HKG_revitalise_private_market: "Revitalise the Private Market"
 HKG_revitalise_private_market_desc: "With public competition cleared away, the government turns to the developers. Streamlined approvals, relaxed plot ratios, and tax incentives are offered to bring private flats to market faster."
 HKG_relax_mortgage_rules: "Relax the Mortgage Rules"
 HKG_relax_mortgage_rules_desc: "The Monetary Authority loosens loan-to-value ratios and stress-test thresholds. First-time buyers can finally clear the down-payment hurdle, though critics warn of the leverage being loaded onto household balance sheets."
 HKG_vacancy_tax: "Impose a Vacancy Tax"
 HKG_vacancy_tax_desc: "A punitive levy on new flats left unsold and unoccupied. Developers can no longer drip-feed completed units onto the market to keep prices high; the speculative warehousing of homes ends."
 HKG_light_public_housing: "Light Public Housing"
 HKG_light_public_housing_desc: "Prefabricated, modular estates built on idle government land as a stopgap for families stranded on the waiting list. Cheap and quick to erect, they buy the Housing Authority the years it needs to build permanently."
 HKG_tenancy_control: "Regulate Subdivided Flats"
 HKG_tenancy_control_desc: "Rent caps, mandatory written leases, and minimum standards are imposed on the city's notorious subdivided units. Landlords lose their free hand; the tens of thousands trapped in partitioned cubicles gain a measure of protection."
 HKG_starter_homes_scheme: "Starter Homes Scheme"
 HKG_starter_homes_scheme_desc: "A new ownership tier pitched at young professionals priced out of both public housing and the private market. Sold below market rate with resale restrictions, the scheme rebuilds the first rung of the property ladder."
 HKG_artificial_islands: "Artificial Islands Programme"
 HKG_artificial_islands_desc: "A programme of large-scale artificial islands in the central waters, conceived to house hundreds of thousands and anchor a new metropolitan district. The cost runs into the hundreds of billions and the environmental objections are fierce, but the gain in usable land is unmatched."
 HKG_northern_metropolis: "The Northern Metropolis"
 HKG_northern_metropolis_desc: "A sweeping development blueprint for the New Territories bordering Shenzhen, knitting Hong Kong into the Greater Bay Area. New towns, rail links, and an innovation belt are planned across the northern frontier."
 HKG_country_park_periphery: "Develop the Country Park Periphery"
 HKG_country_park_periphery_desc: "The least ecologically valuable fringes of the protected country parks are opened to construction. Conservationists are appalled at the precedent; the government insists the land is too valuable to leave fallow amid a housing crisis."
 HKG_redevelop_old_estates: "Redevelop the Aging Estates"
 HKG_redevelop_old_estates_desc: "The oldest public estates, built in the boom decades and now decaying, are demolished and rebuilt to modern density. Residents are decanted and rehoused; the same footprint yields far more flats."
 HKG_abolish_subdivided_flats: "Abolish the Subdivided Flats"
 HKG_abolish_subdivided_flats_desc: "With enough new housing finally online, the government moves to outlaw the subdivided cubicles and cage homes that shamed the city for a generation. The era of partitioned tenements is brought to a close."
 HKG_urban_renewal_push: "Empower the Urban Renewal Authority"
 HKG_urban_renewal_push_desc: "The Urban Renewal Authority is given expanded compulsory-purchase powers and a larger war chest to clear and rebuild blighted districts. Old Kowloon and the harbourfront are remade block by block."
 HKG_smart_city_housing: "Smart City Housing"
 HKG_smart_city_housing_desc: "New estates are wired from the ground up: integrated transport, district cooling, and digital governance. Hong Kong's housing stock becomes a showcase for the smart-city ambitions of the Greater Bay Area."
 HKG_housing_for_all: "A Home for Every Hongkonger"
 HKG_housing_for_all_desc: "The decades-long crisis is declared over. The waiting list is cleared, the subdivided flats are gone, and ownership is once again within reach of an ordinary family. A generation that grew up resigned to renting can finally aspire to a home of its own."
 HKG_naval_contracts_category_desc: "Build warships for Beijing and deliver them on time to raise Hong Kong's standing with the mainland.\n§YTo deliver a ship it must be sitting in your Reserve Fleet. A ship assigned to a task force cannot be delivered. Move it to the reserve first.§!"
 HKG_contract_acquire_pearl_river: "Petition for the Pearl River Delta"
 HKG_contract_acquire_pearl_river_desc: "Hong Kong's shipyards have served Beijing faithfully and earned the mainland's full confidence. Use that standing to ask the Central Military Commission to cede the Pearl River Delta, doubling the city's industrial base."
 HKG_contract_max_standing_tt: "Our standing with the mainland must be at its maximum"
 HKG_contract_pearl_river_accept_tt: "Beijing cedes the Pearl River Delta to Hong Kong"
 HKG_contract_yard_slack_tt: "Our shipyards have spare capacity to take on another contract and still deliver on time"
 HKG_contract.20.t: "A Petition from Hong Kong"
 HKG_contract.20.d: "Hong Kong has built our fleet without fail, and now asks a reward of its own: the cession of the Pearl River Delta to its administration. The shipyards of the south would feed the city's industry, and a loyal subcontractor would become a regional powerhouse. The funds are already on the table."
 HKG_contract.20.a: "Grant the Pearl River Delta"
 HKG_contract.20.b: "The mainland will not be carved up"
 HKG_contract.21.t: "The Delta Comes Home"
 HKG_contract.21.d: "Beijing has agreed. The Pearl River Delta now answers to Hong Kong, its factories and shipways folded into the city's economy. Hong Kong is no longer a single crowded island but the heart of a southern industrial belt."
 HKG_contract.21.a: "An industrial powerhouse rises"
 HKG_contract.22.t: "Beijing Declines"
 HKG_contract.22.d: "The Central Military Commission has refused to cede the Pearl River Delta. The mainland's territorial integrity is not for sale, however loyal the shipyards. Our payment has been returned."
 HKG_contract.22.a: "We will ask again in time"
 HKG_contract.30.t: "Delivery Failed"
 HKG_contract.30.d: "No ship was handed over. The vessel chosen for delivery is assigned to a task force, and a flagship cannot be transferred.\n§YMove the ship into your Reserve Fleet, then use the delivery decision again.§! No contract credit has been given."
 HKG_contract.30.a: "Move it to the reserve and try again"
 HKG_contract_resource_access: "Mainland Supply Line"
 HKG_contract_resource_access_desc: "An active naval procurement contract opens preferential access to mainland supply chains. Beijing routes raw materials to the city's yards at a fraction of the usual cost while the order books stay full."
 HKG_contract_resource_access_tt: "§GResources imported from China are far cheaper while the contract runs.§!"
 HKG_contract_shipbuilding_legacy: "Shipbuilding Legacy"
 HKG_contract_shipbuilding_legacy_desc: "Every warship delivered to the mainland sharpens Hong Kong's yards. Each completed order adds a permanent 1% to naval dockyard output."
 HKG_mainland_resource_supply: "Mainland Resource Supply"
 HKG_mainland_resource_supply_desc: "Beijing diverts oil, steel, light metals, precious metals, composites, and microchips from the mainland to keep the city's shipyards working on its naval contracts. Hong Kong produces almost none of these on its own, so the guaranteed flow is what makes building warships for the mainland possible. The supply lasts only as long as a contract is active."
 HKG_mainland_resource_supply_tt: "§YThese resources are drawn directly from China's own pool, and only while a contract is active.§!"
 CHI_hong_kong_resource_drain: "Resources for Hong Kong"
 CHI_hong_kong_resource_drain_desc: "Oil, steel, light metals, precious metals, composites, and microchips are routed south to keep Hong Kong's shipyards working on a mainland contract. The diverted output is no longer available to the mainland's own industry."
 CHI_hong_kong_resource_drain_tt: "§RThese resources are diverted to Hong Kong while its contract runs.§!"
 HKG_support_the_business: "Support the Business Sector"
 HKG_support_the_business_desc: "Tax breaks, deregulation and cheap credit channel the city's capital straight into the factories. Output soars, though the giveaways strain the budget and ruffle political feathers."
