Rewrite Jianzhou Republic: corporatist guild republic, vast empty industrial state

NOT a city-state — all of outer Manchuria (Liaodong + Jilin + Heilongjiang)
Huge territory but only ~8-12M people. Black soil plains undeveloped.

Corporatist guild system (行会体制):
- Society organized vertically by industry, not horizontally by class
- Left wing (worker welfare) and right wing (social credit) coexist within guilds
- No aristocracy but guild chairmen becoming de facto ruling class

Song protectorate: accepts powerless Governor in exchange for not being invaded
- Song Influence meter: too defiant → invasion risk, too compliant → absorption

Four gameplay pillars:
1. Population crisis: not enough people for the territory (mechanized agriculture as solution?)
2. Sea of Japan: Japan controls access to Pacific, Sakhalin port as strategic lifeline
3. Trade exploitation: heavy industry dominance over Japan (steel for food/minerals)
4. Deterrence equation: Song's 200M vs Jianzhou's 10M

Flavor: "Born in Fire, Forged in Steel", coldest republic, empty interior frontier
