The Empire of Geumhwaro is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Hae-seong with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.294 billion Geumhwans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gyeolseong. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Geumhwan economy, worth 132 trillion Gyeols a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,458 Gyeols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Employers are keenest on employees who lack family values, religious education is a new government priority, the new one Gyeol coin also makes a handy throwing-star, and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Geumhwaro's national animal is the Silk-Tail Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Geumhwaro is ranked 22,021^st in the world and 27^th in Horizon for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,159.59 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
