Kimsu geographically resides in the Joseonic Peninsula, which was inhabited as early as the Lower Paleolithic period. The earliest Kimungese dynastic states, such as the Shan and Hun emerged from the basin of the Suvi River before the late first millennium BCE. Its first, proper kingdom was noted in Chinese records in the early 7th century BCE. Following the unification of the Four Kingdoms of Samhan into Silla and Balhae in the late 7th century, Kimsu as well as the neighboring Korea both were ruled by the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392) and Joseon Dynasty (1392-1636). The Joseon Dynasty was then annexed by the Qing Dynasty in the Battle of Joseon. After the Kimsungese Revolution, Kimsu broke away from the Qing Dynasty, with the enlightenment of Classical Kimsungese Literature and philosophy, forming the Jilish Dynasty, and later on the Empire of Kimsung. The succeeding empire then personally united with the Japanese Empire in 1898, forming the United Empire of Great Japan and Kimsung. The latter ended after the end of the Great War ([1942: Differently) // World War II (ATM Timeline), forming the Kojoseon Socialist Republic and the Republic of Kimsuvia. In the ATM Timeline, Kojoseon becomes a Soviet socialist republic, whereas it stays independent, but on the contrary, it remains under the influence of the Sino-Soviet Union in 1942: Differently.
Kimsu maintains a unitary presidential republic under the 1969 Constitution with a unicameral legislature, the Kimsungese Assembly. It is considered a regional power and a developed country, with its economy ranked as the world's 15th-largest by nominal GDP and the 16th-largest by GDP (PPP). In recent years, the country has been facing an aging population, shrinking population, and the second lowest fertility rate in the world of 0.89. Its citizens enjoy one of the world's fastest Internet connection speeds and densest high-speed railway networks. The country is the world's 11th-largest exporter and 10th-largest importer. Its armed forces are ranked as one of the world's strongest militaries, with the world's second-largest standing army by military and paramilitary personnel. In the 21st century, South Korea has been renowned for its globally influential pop culture, particularly in music, TV dramas, and cinema, a phenomenon referred to as the Korean Wave. It is a member of the OECD's Development Assistance Committee, the G25, the IPEF, and the Paris Club.
