Korea (New Face)

The Republic of Korea, also known as the Greater Korean Republic is a nation in East Asia. Its capital, Seoul, is an Alpha ++ global city since the 2040s, surpassing cities such as Tokyo, Shanghai, and Dubai. Korea has the third-largest standing armed forces in the world and is also a nuclear power as well as a declared nuclear-weapons state. 
Since reunification in 2040, Korea remained a major power in East Asia, especially with China having descended into civil war since the 2030s and the decline of Japan's economy. Hostilities from the north Chinese states, the breakaway Far Eastern Republic, and a militant Japan has led to a series of wars, leading to Korea having its present day borders since the 2100s.
