The Empire of Korean-Joseon is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by 단군 황제 with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.437 billion Koreans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seoul. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Korean economy, worth a remarkable 1,489 trillion Won a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,748 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation frequently puts profits over peace, intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, and fighter pilots crash out of the air after failing to understand their foreign instruction manuals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korean-Joseon's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Musok.

Korean-Joseon is ranked 48,882^nd in the world and 6^th in Fodlan for Largest Populations, with 12.4 billion capita.
