Korea

Korea, officially the Republic of Korea is a country in East Asia, formed in 1919 after the end of the Third World War, when the previously divided countries of North Korea and South Korea unified into one, when Kim Il Sung, the dictator of North Korea was assassinated by Martin MacDonald. It borders China and Russia.
==History==
thumb|250px|A peaceful country, united once moreAfter the Third World War ended, the two Korean countries were finally able to unite. No one missed Kim Il Sung and his dictatorship, and the half-starved, maltreated masses of North Korea embraced the talks of peaceful unification extended by the United Nations with much rejoicing. It was as if a second Berlin Wall was broken, and yet another nation, previously divided, was united once again. The capital of the newly-unified Republic Of Korea was chosen to be Seoul, the capital of the former South Korea, because of it being far more economically and technologically advanced than the North Korean former capital of Pyongyang, where Juche monuments were being torn down like trees by the outraged populace.
There did exist plenty of culture shock and clashes of cultural norms between the former North Koreans and former South Koreans, with societal issues appearing aplenty during the early 90's, with plenty of former North Koreans either developing an unhealthy addiction to the Western lifestyle they dreamed about for so long, or turning into communist apologists, who now unable to find any jobs in a capitalist society they weren't adjusted to, blamed everything on the capitalist system.
Newly-unified Korea's first head of state was Roh Tae-woo, South Korea's former president, who since 1991 found himself with many more Koreans under his wings than he was used to. Controversially, upon unification, the country's new flag was chosen to be that of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea - South Koreans were displeased with the change they deemed unnecessary, but president Tae-woo assured the populace that it was the only neutral choice. That, and the second proposed flag featuring the outline of the Korean Peninsula was simply unappealing, compared to the other choice the government had.
