The Democratic Republic of Joseon is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Dear Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.05 billion Joseonins 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanseong. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Joseonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,495 trillion KPWS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 165,204 KPWS, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 755,272 per year while the poor average 22,008, a ratio of 34.3 to 1.

The government is proudly free of crabs, cruise ships arrive in their dozens to watch cruise missile tests, rogue nations are placing suspiciously large bulk orders for student laptops, and doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joseon's national animal is the Chollima, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Order of Violet.

Joseon is ranked 297,118^th in the world and 2^nd in Last Flight for Least Corrupt Governments, with 73.41 percentage of bribes refused.
