The Empire of Emperor Gojong is a small, pleasant nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 23 million Emperor Gojongians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 14.3%.

The Emperor Gojongian economy, worth 1.03 trillion marks a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 44,887 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers. Crime is moderate. Emperor Gojong's national animal is the tiger.

Emperor Gojong is ranked 239,400^th in the world and 1^st in Korean Empire for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 41.43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
