The capital Seoul is the world's sixth leading global city with the fifth largest economy and is the seventh most sustainable city in the world.
South Korea is one of the Four Asian Tigers. The South Korean economy soared at an annual average of 10% for over 30 years in a period of rapid transformation called the Miracle on the Han River.

Since 1988, its constitution guarantees a liberal democracy with high government transparency and many fundamental rights such as universal healthcare.
