The Republic of Korye is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 3.308 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 Welfare, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanseong. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Korean economy, worth 299 trillion Won a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 90,395 Won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under, social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, ironic death by tasering is on the rise amongst door-to-door taser salesmen, and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korye's national animal is the Siberian Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Korye is ranked 147,166^th in the world and 7,904^th in Lazarus for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 903.71 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
